Hole 7 tip according to lion, 11/2012:
"Downhill shot. For advanced players that are right handed and throw primarily backhand I recommend a midrange for either pin spot. For the short a spider or cro type disc that can be thrown straight and fade at the end is perfect. For the long a midrange that flies straight with little to no fade is what's needed. You do not want to go deep on the long position because of the drop off and reveine behind it. Best to let a midrange slide up to the basket."
 
I'll Buzzz the short, and try to hyzer-flip-to-turn my Pro Leopard for the long. As with most holes out here, I'd be pretty happy with a 3.
 
RHBH Compass on the short. Feels like a 2 should be much easier than it usually is.

I like the tip about a straight mid and not wanting to go long on the long but even down hill its hard to do. I would rather back off and just be smooth with either an S-line FD or S-line Exodus both will carry nice and long down hill and not fade too much which ends up landing below a pine tree and weird low ceiling second shot.
 
Admins... I accidentally titled this the 8/23 hole of the day, but it was 8/24/2019. Any chance that can be changed simply to make me look like less of a doofus?
 
Emac Truth to the short, perhaps an Escape to the long
