Disc/Classic golf, approach and putting are about 80% of the game.?
I love the Discraft videos, and I learn a lot, but I wish I played in the
cow pastures you guys play in. Every course I play in Maine is in the woods
and you’re threading the needle through the trees. Think Shrwood Forest,
and you got it.?
Even though I can throw somewhat further with a backhand, side-arm throws
are more accurate for me and get me where I need to be for the majority of
drives an upshots. Proper technique dictates using more hip and less arm
motion. (That’s just nonsense about ruining your arm with side-arm throws.)
An accurate, 300-foot, side-arm throw is good enough most times!?
OK OK, there were a few annies at 4:43 and 7:09 and 7:45 but 7:45 is just a
rear view replay of the 7:09 throw that they showed the front cam. All the
rest were hyzer flips. lol
Convince your friends to start aswell, i´m trying to get my gf into the
sport but she feels the same way as you do:)
Discraft > Innova
@GodMara That 820′ through was at Big D in the Desert in 2002, 3000 feet
above sea level and with 25 mph winds. The best I’ve ever heard of on flat
ground with no wind is just over 600′.
Agreed. I have a torn rotator cuff from driving sidearm. I would not
recommend it for power drives.
@MATTx602 its all about preference
if u can get a tomahawk down, thats also a very good tech and works
somewhat well im midrange shots with lots of obstacles
How does the ESP Predator compare to a Innova Star Destroyer for speed, and
how wide is the rim?
I just started playing today, 20 minutes in and I lost my driver in a pond.
So, went and picked up 2 more, a distance driver and a fairway
driver…with that said. I’m finding the sidearm throw much easier and more
accurate than I thought it would be and I’ve gotten more distance out of it
than my “power” backhand. The longest hole where I was is 430 feet and my
best backhand was just over halfway while my best sidearm was probably
two-thirds of the way, hoping to get more accuracy and distance.
Not saying this is a necessity in the sport of disc golf, but any sport you
do can be enhanced with powerlifting. Distance, accuracy, pretty much
anything in disc golf can be improved by a few power cleans here and there
=D.
ok well my friend took me for the first time today i bought a valkarie for
my fist disk and i did ok i can only get about 200′ but im getting better i
have a question does backhanding or forehanding it give you more distance.
discrafts that far??? NICE.
when ever i get my swing around when spin to release it always does a sort
of a really slow anhyzer, is that normal or to be expected? i do it about
with every disc
it actually kinda hopped in the basket by hitting a mound of dirt right in
front of it. you can read the story at discrafts website. Barsby beat Doss
by one stroke in a round in which Doss scored his own ace.
Yeah its not anhyzer throws, those kids don’t know what they’re talking
about.
yep a good way to keep that arm and disc level in your head is to think
nip-to-nip. Pull the disc straight across both your nips and keep it flat.
Sidearm is ok when you are starting. I threw all sidearm my first year.
However, in terms of what is going to get you the most distance if you work
at it, it is definitely backhand. I throw primarily all backhand now except
for shots that I could use the sidearms fade on. Not to mention, sidearm is
more damaging to your elbow and most elbow injuries happen do to excessive
side arm throwing. Backhand will also be much more accurate when you work
at it too.
ani = anhyzer flip
360. The field is 100 yds with the end zones each 10 yds deep. 3 ft per
yard x 120 yds = 360 ft.
wish there were more girls playing. Im the only one around my area =(
These are not anhyzer or hyzer. These are hyzer flips. They are aiming way
out the left and releasing the discs either flat for the real stable ones
or tipped down as much as 45 degrees for the less stables. The discs come
out so fast that the understables “flip” up and ride flat with so much
speed and spin that they become temporarily understable at those high
speeds and turn right.
I can’t seem to get past 350 feet on my best drive i made a video of me
driving in slow motion its on my page its called “brian couple of fun days
in slow motion disc golf” if u guys can watch and tell me what i could do
better be great thanks
