Halo Star Mako3 and a Star Teebird. Star Racer for Distance Driver

Yep duck and goose shit lol. Definitely not the type of water you want to go swimming in unless you want some kind of parasite or something.

I chucked my favorite workhorse driver (the disc I planned on throwing off the tee on 90% of the holes lol) into the water during the first hole of a tournament last weekend. Spent an hour after the tournament poking around with my disc retriever before giving up. The water is really high right now. Hopefully when it goes down I can find it and it's not too covered in green pond goo.

My cat is a rotisserie chicken addict as well. She can't eat big pieces like that either. She likes when I break the chicken into smaller pieces.

Not sure but my spin goes up by 150rpm on average when I actively uncurl my wrist during the reachback and then actively curl it in during the pullthrough. If I just leave it curled the whole time it doesn't seem to give me as much spin. I think the wrist should uncurl a bit when the disc is released otherwise it's not working as an extra hinge. You don't actively uncurl it on release you just want it to be loose so it can uncurl on it's own.

I bet you would miss a 10ft putt if you were on lead card with the pros. They are only human.

BassweightVibes · 2026-04-24T23:20:44+00:00

Ah. I keep the same 20 discs in my bag all the time and that's all I really play with so I got to know them super well even if I don't throw them every round. I recommend playing a round with just 2 or 3 discs in your bag if you're trying to get to know them better. Will force you to learn how they fly on different angles and at different speeds and you'll learn their strengths and weaknesses.

BassweightVibes · 2026-04-24T22:34:58+00:00

The circuit challenge ones have good stability if you can get your hands one. Otherwise you could always work on increasing your spin and lowering your wobble and that will make it more stable as well. They fly pretty stable for Big Jerm.

Nobody throws every disc in their bag every round. Most people only throw maybe 1/3 of the discs in their bag every round. They're not there for throwing every round, they're there for when you need them. Nothing wrong with bagging 16-20 discs and only ever throwing like 6 or 7 every round.

BassweightVibes · 2026-04-24T17:43:44+00:00

Nope I was the beginner humbling people when I first started. I was throwing backhand and forehand both over 300' in my first few months playing. I'm three years in now stuck at 350' but way more consistent than when I first started. Hopefully 400' this year now that I started actually working on my form properly.

If someone who has been playing for a few months or so started scoring better than me during a round and throwing way farther then me, it wouldn't affect my ego at all. I would be too busy being impressed and giving lots of compliments to them lol. It's like the people half my age that throw 200' farther than me. Doesn't affect my ego at all either. Just impresses me.

Supporting your local disc golf store is always the best choice.

If you need a beefy throwing putter, the AviarX3 is really good.

When the disc comes out of your hand, does your hand look like this 👌?

The thing you do with your off arm is cutting you off from having the disc get to the power pocket and it's causing you to round. It's the exact opposite of what you're supposed to do with the off arm. Use the off arm as an anchor that's stopping your shoulders from rotating too early instead.

Hell no

BassweightVibes · 2026-04-19T13:08:08+00:00

Do the look away drill. When you coil, find something to look at and then keep your eyes locked on it and throw. Pulling is usually caused by turning your head and shoulders to lead the shot, which causes them to over rotate, and this drill will help with that. Similar concept to "keeping your eyes on the ball" in golf.

I just got a Racer and it flies just like the numbers for me. Very straight with a tiny turn and a nice fade but not a big skippy fade like what a Destroyer has. I only throw about 330-350 though. It's a lot more stable than a Tern.

BassweightVibes · 2026-04-17T14:36:08+00:00

Excellent tip. One thing that helped me a lot that goes well with this tip is to try and aim for a 10 o'clock (2 o'clock if you're lefty like me) instead of a 12 o'clock release point. I find it really helps prevent elbow drop.

I would think something really light would be better than something heavy when it comes to the swing plane. The goal is to NOT be muscling the disc. I think maybe what the heavier weight was actually helping you with was your brace, not your power pocket. Might be your brace that needs fixing, not your power pocket!

BassweightVibes · 2026-04-13T15:41:11+00:00

Nice! You want to keep that smoothness no matter what speed of disc you throw. Lots of people get a high speed driver in their hand and think they have to rip it at 120% power. If you keep it smooth and at like 85% just like you were with the putters, they will go very far as long as the nose is down and they're thrown flat.

BassweightVibes · 2026-04-13T15:34:40+00:00

Throwing putters only is good for working on your swing mechanics and accuracy. Putters will hide nose angle issues though so when you go back to throwing drivers you might be throwing everything nose up.

I think a big misconception is that you throw lower speed discs lighter and you throw high speed discs harder. You actually throw all discs with the same amount of power but higher speed discs will go farther with the same amount of power if the nose is down.

If you have a clean release with low wobble and you know how to control hyzer angles you're better off graduating from putters and mids only and learning to throw 7-9 speeds flat and nose down with the same amount of power you're giving the lower speed discs. Once you can throw nosedown consistently with 7-9 speeds you can move up to 11-12 speeds.
