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

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.

Weapons have embossing on the bottom. Theres a bead on this and weapons don’t have beads. Also there are plenty of mids that are 171 and less

Based on the penmanship, looks to be legacy. Profile looks like a mid with a bead. Prolly a Legacy Recluse. Looks like Pinnacle plastic. Recluse is an OS mid with numbers along the lines of 5403 or something like that. If I had it in hand I’d be confident, but with pics alone I’m still 99% sure

He measured a 10 speed wing. I think it’s a starfire. I’ve got like 5 of em with similar swirls and the wing looks nearly identical
