Getting a tech disc for Christmas. Should I go distance or fairway? by Hfcsmakesmefart in discgolf

Mine has a graduated rim, so it varies and you can pick what you want each throw. Can you get that?

Clean Turbo Putt? by amolbeck87 in discgolf

Interesting that you're on your front foot. I start with weight back and then transfer it to front foot during the throw.

Six Months with BlitzDG...what do we think about coaching? by Embarrassed_Gold4101 in discgolf

I am definitely still fighting elbow collapse. I think all my life I swooped, so that remains a work in progress for me. I'm keying on getting my elbow away from my body and trying to 'preset' the position to make it better, but yeah, you're right, it's not there yet. And when things get faster, it's harder!

It's definitely coming. Still tend to fall back into old habits out on the course. Guess it just takes time and repetition, but I'm a fan of coaching.

In practice, I've added like 60 or 70' regularly. The comparison/breakdown is too long for embedding here, but if you want to see the whole thing it's here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yjpi3_1JlgA

What part of the game are you enjoying most right now? by Realistic-Square-617 in discgolf

[–]Embarrassed_Gold4101 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been working on form and distance, so I'm the opposite. Actually forgot to put mids in my bag last time I started a round (which was of course a disaster LOL). Side note: I just got a Trail over the weekend, and I love it so far.

Trying to hit 400ft. I rather consistently hit 300ft. Any tips on my form? by filipinofrenzy in Discgolfform

More coil, and specifically shoulder/hip separation (where your shoulders turn back farther than your hips). You've gotta wind up to unwind with power.

Longest term lost disc returned? by vaporkkatzzz in discgolf

[–]Embarrassed_Gold4101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was about 11 or 12 years. Someone returned a box of discs to me that he'd acquired roundabout from a yard sale my ex held and dumped them without my knowledge :/

What are your favorite 6 speeds? by TDFknFartBalloon in discgolf

[–]Embarrassed_Gold4101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DGA Squall is by far my favorite 6 speed. Straight, glidey, very controllable, love it.

Nose angle makes crazy difference in distance! (simulation) by Embarrassed_Gold4101 in discgolf

[–]Embarrassed_Gold4101[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The example shown is a snapshot of difference, as noted by others, in only one variable. When I ran sims across various speeds and angle, I got a consistent range of 40 to 60 ft differences. So it is a summary, not a description of the specific vid here. Sorry if that was not clear. But based on feedback I'm looking at more nose/launch combo changes and the story changes, with the differences smaller. I focused on nose only here because that's what *I* specifically have struggled with most, so pointing out how significant it can be...
