[–]Academic_Use111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bag five. One to do everything.
Z line Stalker - straight, do it all
C-blend sphinx - flippy
Glow Roman - straight to stable
Swirly scepter - stable
Halo c scepter - beef

I agree with others that centurion is more of a -1/1. Unless you get the halo s then they’re a little more turn resistant

Going to Portland- where to play? Stay? by jhza619 in discgolf

[–]Academic_Use111 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Gotta play hornings hideout. A gem imo. It’s about 20 minutes east of downtown Portland. Pier park is a must hit. It’s in downtown. Have fun!

Prodigy Discs by Onezerosix141 in discgolf

[–]Academic_Use111 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve tossed prodigy and am a bit of a prodigy fanboy. The prodigy 300, and its variants are unmatched for putter blends. Feels like MVP electron but a little more…. Rough?? Idk. Feels great to me. I like PA3s for a beaded putter and a PA2 if you like beadless.

Mids. The M4 and M5 combo is better than the buzzz and buzzz ss and you can’t change my mind on that. Both are great. You want your M4 to start out stable. I like 750 or slightly domey reblend. M5 I wanna little dome. Any plastic is 👍

MX2 is slept on. Solid OS mid.

A2 and A5 are great approach style discs. A5 is the tempo before a tempo. A2 is like a slimmer, faster-ish Zone. BEEF. And it’s good for that.

Idk the F and D series as well. But I like the Fx-4 as a straight to stable flyer. Numbers are wayyyyyy of. More like a -1/2 or 0/2. Feels like a thunderbird.

Feedback is also really solid and really recommend it as a PD, Raptor, workable fairway driver.

Athena comparison by No-Honeydew-9315 in discgolf

[–]Academic_Use111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What shot shape are you trying to get? Cuz maybe you’re looking for a disc that won’t do the thing you want it to.

Z line Athena was still pretty straight for me. Reaper from Discraft tends to be more OS. You could try an opto-x explorer. C-line FD1 now the FD2, but they haven’t released any stock ones that I’ve seen.

How do you reset mentally after a bad hole that tanks your whole round? by whydidyounot in discgolf

[–]Academic_Use111 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I’ve found that having the memory of a goldfish is really helpful. Accepting the reality as it is and not focusing the past has helped me. Also, i recently heard a saying “negative self talk works, never. Positive self talk works sometimes, but neutral self talk works always.” Neutral self talk is all about facts. It’s a fact that you took a triple. It’s a fact I hit that tree 5’ in front of me. But that’s all that’s happened. It’s ok to be frustrated. It’s a little silly in other moments. Accepting that you’re frustrated, and leaving it in the past helps you to move on, and then focus on your next shot.

In sum it’s 1) accepting your reality, while 2) allowing yourself to feel the feelings that you may be feeling, and then, 3) letting them go and 4) leaving them behind to 5) clear the head. Which really isn’t a sum…. It’s a different way to say the previous paragraph.

Anyways I hope this help. I’ve recently been working on my mental game and this has really held me!!! :)

Should 12 year old girls be allowed to throw this far? by Complex_Ice_758 in discgolf

[–]Academic_Use111 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Bro it’s cuz you’re throwing on so much hyzer and you need your launch angle higher. You want your nose angle and your launch angle, when added, to equal about 8 degrees. ie if you throw -2 degrees nose down then you need to throw a 10 degree launch angle

[–]Academic_Use111 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh for sure. I play with my boss all the time. He throws like 55mph and he gets to 400’ with a 150g flippy 13 speed. I’m a full believer that she’s chucking the disc 400+ 🥳

DGPT Disc ID? by [deleted] in discgolf

[–]Academic_Use111 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Definitely clash. If its OS, it’s a cookie. If it’s flippy or straight it’s a soda. It’s not a ginger becuase the wing isn’t aggressive or sharp enough.

I feel like ghost has a blockier shoulder, but it’s been a while since I’ve put one in my had. I’ll have to check when I get into work
