Just got into this perfect game a couple weeks ago at the recommendation of a friend was huge into it 6 years ago. We’ve ran out of money playing golf all summer and needed something free to amuse ourselves with. Love the absence of tee times or the care of clothing or costs or anything really. Shot my first bogey round yesterday and felt really good. It’s cool how the same thought processes of golf like approach, curve and trying too hard and loving up big time are so similar. What a kick rear end game. Thanks for posting all these videos op.

Played a round with my girlfriend at Old Mill in Grants Pass mid tournament and the course was totally empty. It was glorious. The course was totally empty and we both played great rounds. I carried those good vibes to my local course in seattle and shot 9 over, which was great for me. This game rules.

I think one of my old co-workers just found a basket in the trash at his work. He's going to haul it out for me. Fingers crossed bro's, a free key to getting better may be in hand.

Why do I fall in love with discs that just stopped being in production? Found an archangel last week and had some of my longest throws and then my buddy gave me a skeeter that just feels…right. Hit up the disc store for some backups and they aren’t being made anymore. Perfect.

Muir posted:The stores offering pre-orders say they're expected mid-October. You could also take a look at the Latitude 64 Bite. Oh this is awesome, thank you! I didn't come from any background and my forehands are dogshit. I guess with less than a year playing I should just work on developing my backhand, but it would be nice to have a hundred foot flick to get out of trouble as a lefty.

Dead Nerve posted:Looks like Glitches got released at midnight eastern, along with new Fission Hex stamped for MVP Open 2022, and Halloween Eclipse Resistor. Makes sense. Just saw a bunch on Reddit. Good call on the forehand thin disc, started using a Crave for most forehands and it’s too stable but it works. Actually, a Crave, Virus, Mako and Fierce are about all I use and it makes me feel dumb caring a large bag….

Been playing for about a year and finally threw an even round. Bought myself a G2 as a present to replace my big bag. Realizing that I usually only throw 4 or 5 discs when I play, the G2 made sense.  Fierce, Mako, Crave and Virus make up 90% of my throws. Pretty stoked to see some real progress quickly. Very unlike real golf which I’ve been playing for 15 years and am still dogshit at.

Salt Fish posted:How is that discraft prototype putter plastic holding up? I have a fierce in that plastic and I loved the feel and flight but it was getting chewed up just from regular putting. Although it fairness one course here has really sharp edges on the catchers. It’s not good. I’d love a fierce in Westside BT Soft and I’ll probably go back to the swan in a bit, the fierce just feels better in the hand. I’d be stoked if all discs were that Westside soft plastic, it’s perfect.

Muir posted:Mine arrived this morning and the contents were excellent and definitely useable for a newer player/noodle arm like myself. Only a couple of high speed discs, and those are understable. Oh hell yeah. Hoping I can trade all the high speed plastic to the folks I play with who are better than me (all of them) for some beat to poo poo old plastic my body craves. Dig the hockey tape, does it actually work for sound?

Haven’t played a round by myself in months and had the opportunity to ditch work and play my favorite local course with just me myself and my dog today. gently caress this game can be so incredibly relaxing if you want it to be. Played like poo poo, probably 12 over but felt like my best round of the year. Strange game.

headcase posted:I just added a lightweight wave to my bag even though I can barely throw 9 speed. Too many people told me I should try it Sounds like you need a Virus, homie. Also that bag video with Simon is pretty cool, really showcases how terrible I am at disc golf but he seems like a chill dude and I hope he wins everything. I’ve got a bunch of higher speed mvp plastic from those gyro boxes I’m probably not going to use that much. If anyone wants to trade or whatever, pm me?

Big early morning disc golf with the guys on Sunday guy. I’m having a hard time working my release on the first couple holes and have been playing a course where that poor release could net me multiple stokes per hole. After that I’m a par shooter to +3 right now. Any suggestions for a quick warmup routine? I’ve started shooting calm discs like the crave and mako but I’ll still wing the poo poo out of it. This course is all hill for the first 4 and it might be an issue too. https://www.pdga.com/course-directory/course/lake-fenwick

Salt Fish posted:For releasing -> imho the most important thing is to have the straightest pull you can get. The straighter you pull the less variation in left/right release you'll have. If you watch someone with good form throw you'll see that releasing earlier or later is just putting the disc on two different points on the same straight line towards the basket: Feels way more natural to see this throw than the 'reach back hella far and pull through', thanks for this. Sounds like I should be stretching more too, get my hips moving before I run out there like a jabroni.

NFX posted:I tried out my new Spin the other day. What a weird and fun disc! I needed to clear an obstacle so I threw it flat, nose up. It just flew upwards, lost power, and fell straight down with zero fade. I bought the watermelon and it’s done me good for almost 2 years. That said I play once a week maybe and it’s getting ragged. Splitting at the water bottle seams and the Velcro isn’t what is was. Wish they made a better model with the same footprint.

The most inside of joke. Yeah its mostly Kasta and MVP. But they really did listen to the wants as far as speed, weight and color went. All pink or red, all over 170g and everything under 5 speed. V. cool.

I've stopped keeping score in ball golf and disc golf and I'm enjoying the game a lot more. Just chilling any enjoying walking around, which is why i got into the games in the first place. Now the only thing I get pissy at is putting...which I am a walking joke at...

Someone just found an old f5 I lost almost 2 years ago today. At the time it was my go to disc. Just wild to think about how much time has gone by since I started playing and that while I’m still a noodle arm loser, I have gotten a lot better. I want to try doing a tourney just for fun…

Playing a wide open course after playing the usual Seattle based tight courses is so rad, especially now that most of my usual tracks are overgrown forests. Just letting it rip in a chill way. Going to get overconfident and throw some higher speeds in the bag.

calandryll posted:I got the Neutron Insanity, I guess the names means different plastics? Anyway, first throw for me put me about 10 feet from the basket. The Ballista throws further for me but the Insanity is going to be my primary go to I think. Might have to try some of their other discs. This thread is probably tired of me pumping the Virus but you should grab a light one in Proton plastic and give it a rip.

I don’t understand what she’s trying to get across or much about this topic at all. For clarity: In states where gender affirming care exists, dgpa is cancelling all those FPO events and using the excuse that too much money being spent on lawsuits defending a group of cis gendered women’s idea of fairness? Is this not the biggest cutting off of one’s nose to spite one’s face move, like drat, for what? What a gross organization. I can’t see myself supporting this sport at the pro level.

Thank you for taking the time to write this up. In my head I'm thinking if elite, touring FPO players wont play A-tier events, than a player who would otherwise be top 20 FPO in the world (Natalie Ryan) but limited to A-Tier events will be running roughshod over the usual A-Tier field. Maybe this is some tinfoil hat poo poo, but it seems like this would only incite assholes already living in an TERF echo chamber that Natalie or players like her have no place in disc golf. It's almost as if this was by design? Bag talk: My watermelon Voyager Lite is starting to tear at the pockets and is pretty worn. Looking for a sick replacement that will hold up longer than a year and a half. I usually carry around 12 discs, a water bottle and a light rainshirt so I don't need a huge bag. All my usual 4-some have the AX5 from GRIPeq which seems like a great compromise of price, durability and size. I did come across the Pound Rufus which seems very stout and just about perfect for what I carry (and the turquoise color is woooo). What say you thread? Also I bought a Gripeq Paige Pierce G2 shoulder bag some time ago that just does not work for me. If anyone is interested I'd ship it out for 60 bucks. Used twice.
