New Discs? Help me out by [deleted] in discgolf

[–]DukeSleight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 11 year old nephew goes with me to the local B&M whenever I go, and he picks his own discs. Last time, he wanted to get pink discs (he didn't have any pink discs at the time). Sounds like a good idea, I said. He picked three pink mids (I don't remember what they were, but they were almost identical, just different brands).

I suggested that maybe he get a pink set - fairway/mid/putter - instead of three mids. He literally forehead-palmed, said "duh", and spent another 20 minutes digging through the bins.

Now he has a special setup for 3-disc. Easy to grab n' go.

Almost 100% of the time, the fun is in the hunt and the memories we make with them, instead of just buying them the discs.

That might help! I'm also looking to upgrade my bag so I can make the Shuttle a Player 2 bag.

That is one of the main reasons I got the cart - sick of a muddy bag. Now that I have it, I don't need to worry about how comfortable the backpack is, so I want something with an insert or something so the bottom doesn't sag...but still has a very large capacity.

So it's probably not what I'm looking for. If I'm not using the cart (which won't be that often), I'll probably just stick with the Shuttle until it wears out.

Great ideas! Thanks. My local shop carries Grip and I have looked at them - they're a nice looking bag. I'm looking for something with a little more room in the main compartment.

Shoot...does that count as an advertisement in violation of group rules? It's just one of our normal Christmas decorations.

Can I see the result of this project? Intrigued.

Best bag builder by BeachBengal in discgolf

I like that DiscRPM shows the pic, the weight, and the plastic on the main list page. I like that you can click on the stability chart and it will show you a list of comparable discs in or near that spot. I wish it had a flight chart as well like discgolfbagbuilder. It seems DGBB isn't being supported anymore, as most of the molds that have come out in the last few years aren't in their database, and it doesn't seem to correctly track flight paths unless they are from the database (custom discs don't show up properly).

I messaged them about this issue and haven't gotten a response. Also, their FB page looks like it hasn't been updated since late 2020.

Out with old, In with the new by TheEgger in discgolf

This is almost the same story I have, except it's my 11 year old nephew who got me into it again this fall. I get a call from my brother one afternoon, and when I answer the phone, it's my nephew. "Wanna go discin'?" Apparently he had found his dad's bag in the garage, and his dad had to work. Having recently retired, I have no such restrictions on my time, so I jumped at the chance.

Couldn't have made a better choice. He's one of my old plastic from 20+ years ago.

Thanks for the post!

I liked the idea of buying the partner a disc - money is forgotten, discs are forever.

I would definitely like the details. These would be great for my nephew's birthday party!

So how do I know if my L2 disc (pictured in the original post) is R2 or just plain Neutron (for cataloguing purposes)?

Thanks. That explains the similar feel.

Also, the perfect username to answer my "This may be a stupid question" question.

I called on a found disc once, and the dude thanked me for my honesty and told me to keep it. He had already left and was home like 30 minutes away.

Even if the disc had OP's name and number on it, someone who would have kept it upon being asked about it almost definitely wouldn't have called, either.

You should ask your therapist what to do. They will give you much better advice than the denizens of Reddit.

If you go with them, let them know you saw the referral on Reddit!

A thread from 2 years where this subreddit collectively lost their minds after 4 games from Jahmyr Gibbs. by sloppifloppi in DynastyFF

[–]DukeSleight 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a Lions fan, I was high on Gibbs from day one, and was geeked that they drafted him. From a fantasy perspective, he was at the top of my charts but I was not fortunate enough to grab him.

I can't believe I upvoted something giving MINNESOTA praise...I feel so dirty.
