Well, I never thought this day would happen. I primarily throw RHFH and I've been maxing out around 220' as my longest shot. This weekend I changed my grip from a 2 finger stacked grip to just 1 finger. After throwing for 15 holes, I finally got the hang of it and started to rip some out by our novice groups standards. I went from a max of 220' to a max ~280' with most being in the 250-260' range on the last 6 throws of the day (was driving 2 discs to see differences). I was using my pink MVP volt and my Yellow Champ Krait. The Krait produced my longest shots by 20-30' over the volt.
On hole 16, I lost track of where my Krait went and when we went looking my wife told me to look about 50' further back then what I was looking. I told her that I don't throw that far, there is no way it's back there. Well, she was right it was way back there, about a 270' throw. That is when I started to throw 250'+ on 17 and 18 with both discs, something just finally clicked.
When we came up to hole 18 (247') that is when the magic started. I threw ~280' with the Krait, which was left of the basket but sailed ~30' past it. My volt throw on the other hand landed just shy of the basket. After the throw is when I got excited. During flight I figured it would end about 20' short. I was stunned, shocked, all the above, and then asked the disc why didn't you go in. I'm sure people have had much closer first ace misses but our group just started in July this year, and this is now the furthest closest ace in the group.
I know the Krait and Volt speeds are above my power level, but I cannot seem to throw mids FH at all yet. I keep working on them, but no luck. I need the wing to make it feel just right.
