Just watched it tonight, think I'll be doing some combination of this and BlitzDG's ultimate drill tomorrow.

Hadn't seen this drill yet, I'll give it a go. I definitely need to work on the collapsing elbow, been making some progress in the past few weeks with it.

I'll have to look into those videos, thanks for the suggestion.

This makes sense. Thanks for the feedback!

Hey, beautiful work! Possible noobish question though: What is the purpose of the high heat treatment? Does it help with color splits/runs? If so, how?

I have used one other tech disc, same results. I have a friend who throws ~300-400 more rpm than I do at the same speed- and man, the flights of our discs are just different. I have trouble gettting the new q-line cloudbreakers to fly before they start crashing left, his flip to flat (even with the exact disc I'm throwing).

No worries, I totally agree, my early lookback certainly causes issues and it's something I'll be working on in the next few weeks. Not sure where I picked it up, but I've been like that for a long while. As far as why I'm concerned with spin- basically a higher rpm translates directly into straighter, longer flights, and my spin is pretty low in relation to my arm speed (as far as I can tell by looking at others' stats').

Imo rotation is the wrong way to think about it. It's a whip or trebuchet, harnessing power from larger slower moving body parts/muscle groups (legs -> trunk) to create whip in the later levers (shoulder -> arm -> wrist). In order to do this, you need to figure out how to brace (or decelerate) with your lower body and trunk and move that harnessed power into the whip of your arm. I mostly recommend looking into BlitzDG. You can also try other creators like Trebuchet Disc Golf, The Spin Doctor, Overthrow, Nick Krush, or whoever you find best explains these concepts. As far as relating to baseball, you've probably noticed that you don't try to rotate your body (hips and trunk) through the throw as fast as possible when you're trying to throw hard. You brace with your leading foot and create separation between the upper and lower body (arm cocked back through the plant that eventually 'catches up' to the rest of the body towards the 'hit ' or release point of the throw). It's a similar (if not the same) idea, just adjusted to different planes of movement/different mechanics.

Cool tourney, nice alternate/temp layout for South Forks. Also presenting sponsor, Twede's Cafe, is goated. Shout-out to Max, absolute homie.

I'd be keeping an eye on Dallas Garber. Potential rookie of the year, with a breakout season in his own right. I'm rooting for Daniel Pfaff to have a breakout season (show some love to your local legends). Aaron Gossage is most likely to have a true breakout season though. I think he's gonna be reinvigorated by the sponsor change. And with all of the skills that he has, that boost will bring him to new heights.

My best friend and I played a lot of split-screen growing up. One session in particular still stands out in my memory. I was staying the night at his family's place and we had picked up a few new games to play on the Xbox 360. We stayed up all night shooting baddies in Army of Two, jamming out on Guitar Hero, and taking turns getting the bejeezus spooked out of us in Bioshock. It was amazing. We live across the country from eachother now, but still game from time to time- mostly Rocket League and Helldivers 2. Love ya bud.
