What a complicated sport! So many variables, and everybody has their own variables, and all of it packed into a throw that happens so quickly. I love the sport, but I wish I wasn't stuck here at 250' max, with the very rare 275'. But, playing 14 months now, I do still seem to be inching forward, very slow gains, so hopefully more to come. I have been getting some coaching, three lessons so far, and it has definitely helped. I am still using standstill, which my coach switched me to because she changed so much of my technique (or is trying to change, lol). Right now my biggest challenge seems to be trying to break the habit of instinctively letting the disc go, and getting to where I consistently hold my grip and force it to rip out. Ripping out seems to add about 20', and take me further to the right, but I struggle hard to get it consistent. But I think I am slowly improving there. Hoping if I get that, then add my x-step back, maybe those two things are enough for me to get to 300' with decent consistency. That would be nice. I played with a semi pro guy, 59 years old, a couple weeks ago, and he said I need to start my throw slower, and accelerate towards my release. I am sure he is right, but I just don't know that I can wrap my brain around that, too, and make it happen. Ugh! If I could take knowledge, and convert it perfectly and easily to my throwing action, wow, I might have turned pro already! Lol! But I love playing, and I mostly shoot around par now (on easy to medium courses; under par on short courses, but struggle on long ones) which at one time not so long ago seemed like an impossible dream! Go DG! And my favorite quote, that I adapted, pretty sure I heard something similar years ago from basketball(?) - "Let's put some discs in the air!"
