It's your last 25 rounds - multiplayer and/or Pro tour
Pro tour rounds count twice
On the player profile page there's a button to view your last 25
Haha. That's true. Apart from the 1 or 2 really funky spitouts, I did have 1 or 2 go through the chains, particularly weak side. But they weren't particularly good putts.

I approve wholeheartedly of this list for entirely selfish, egotistical reasons
Good work putting it together!
If you happen to be free around midday next Tuesday we're running another competition which should hopefully be our biggest yet with a win your own Disc Golf Valley bag giveaway - 6 DGV discs (Ballista, Pure, Dagger, Explorer and Musket and a DGUK bag to carry them in. It was fun last night and great to have a few from the US playing and representing well, GrdGuJosh from the list took second!

The sticky/accurate Pure is in the bag and I removed the glide/accurate Pure. I have now had a few putts that stuck that probably wouldn't have without the stickiness. It has also helped to keep the disc a little closer to the basket on approaches and drives since it doesn't slide as far. So I think it might be better for me but I do miss the extra glide on a few of the shorter tee shots.

I added a glide/sticky Pure to the bag the other day. I know all of the top players say you need accurate, but all of the top players also pull back and release so fast that the disc doesn't get wobbly. So I'm not sure how necessary the accurate attribute is on a putter (which is the dumbest sounding sentence I've used in a while). I've had a couple of longer shots in wind where the accuracy has seemed questionable, but the stickiness has saved me in those cases too. The worst that's happened is that I've overshot something because I haven't adjusted to the glide again yet. I at least think the disc is worth trying if you have one. I'm going to bag it for a while and see how it affects my scores.

I didn't realize that the quicker you make a shot the more accurate it is. But it would explain some of the crazy shanks I have had. I guess I need to stop holding shots so long.
Wait, what? I had no idea this was a thing. I did figure out that letting the reticule drift left creates a flexier line with some anny, but I was always under the impression that the wobble was just variance we had no control over.

Can anyone confirm if this is legit? I'll test it later after work.
If it's true, how fast do you have to release? I have been holding down all my shots for a few seconds while I work out what angle/power to throw.
I've found that my Fuse on a forehand goes a pretty similar distance as the glidey Pure does on backhand. And with them both being such straight flying discs, the shot shape really isn't that much different BH vs FH.

I've never noticed a difference! Now I'm wondering if I missed something
I'm no expert. I read somewhere that "accurate" means there's less wobble on the pull, and I also heard someone say that the best players just pull back and go. I've seen it on some of their videos, so I know that part's true. I just put the two together in my head and figured they were related I guess.

I did a fair amount of testing and it doesn't seem to make much of a difference to me. Pulling back quickly and releasing immediately did not seem to derandomize the angle of release.

I started going for pull and go after watching David Sallee doing it last year on sme of his videos. I think it gives me a more repeatable shot each time. When I hold it back it tends to fly a bit more random. This however has not been scientifically studied!

2:45am Eastern US time for anyone curious.
I think he forgot the 'PM' part, it will be 2:45PM. Our friends across the pond don't like getting up that early any more than we do.
