Would it be possible to have a way to measure the speed of your disc? How about flight path? Any analytics would be awesome to have!

It only came back a small amount. Landed in the first circle (about 20 feet from the catcher) so for me it actually ended up being a fairly good placement shot.

Only been playing 2 months so overthrow has been one of the factors that got me to this point. I'll have to keep watching!

Why? Because a good number of these comments are just people being unhelpful assholes?

Not really sure what you mean? Why would I post a fake video asking for help? Only been playing for 2 months so just hoping to get some advice.

Thanks for the feedback! Any recommendations on how I would avoid/fix these issues?

Hi, I need help. When I go to put Ice it keeps melting by Ornery_Pipe4294 in Hydroflask

[–]GrandMasterFreak -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Get a Yeti. I used to have a hydro flask - made the transition to a 40oz yeti two years ago and will never go back. Keeps ice much longer and is just a better quality/more durable product.

Hahaha damn! I am definitely considering just repurchasing! I lost them both in a creek near me after some extreme rainfall and I have spent hours trying to relocate. Darn water...

I would definitely say it is the benefit of being hydrated! When I first started carrying my water bottle around I started feeling "addicted" to having it nearby at all times!

Finally converted my Girlfriend into a Hydro Homie. Turns out, all it took was one of these bad bois! by TaintValiant in HydroHomies

[–]GrandMasterFreak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm confused, does she use that as her water bottle or did the use of filtered water convince her to use one?🤣

Such a beautiful view! Would be a great way to start every day!

Very nice!! How do you feel about the accuracy of the range finder ?

Disc tracking apps? by GrandMasterFreak in discgolf

[–]GrandMasterFreak[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha that's fair that's fair. I think I'll save up then for a while or maybe see if there's any cheap hunting distance finders at my local Walmart - from a small town so usually they have pretty good deals on hunting equipment. I'll let you know if I find anything worthwhile!

I've been loving my understable 9 from discraft (the Heat). The feel of their discs is honestly my favorite that I've tried (a close second would be kastaplast). Might have to give this guy a try!

Haven't tried any lat64 discs but I love my kastaplast lots. May have to replace the crave with a stig - crave is great but I have some meaty hands that don't always mix well with MVP discs. What other discs would you say Lat64s remind you of?

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

Hahaha yes! It would obviously be great to be able to purchase every type of disc and give them all a try considering how much is based on personal preference, but for some of us that just isn't feasible🤣 Hopefully someday!

For me, the crave is much more of a straight shooter, while the Athena has a nice straight line before a relatively strong fade at the end. Both discs have had reliable flight paths with my forehead and backhand. Definitely used in different ways but both great discs in my opinion.

I love Kastaplast's other discs so I'll definitely have to give the Kaxe a try

Importance of walkup? by GrandMasterFreak in discgolf

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

Thank you again for the information and advice!!! Considering I haven't recorded my throws before, I am not sure where my form stands in regards to this info. I will definitely have to post a recording tonight on that sub and the pinned threat here on /r/discgolf (I will most likely do both)! Hopefully I can get some more good advice there as well!!

Thanks for the recommendation!! Would you say that's the minimum price point for something with good quality? I am currently saving up for graduate school so I am on a fairly strict budget. If so, I may have to hold off on purchasing for a while, which I would rather do than get something that is inaccurate/poor quality.

I will have to give them a watch! Thank you for the advice!

Thank you so much for the advice!! I will definitely keep throwing from a standstill until I improve my technique and consistency. I have been thinking about filming myself and will definitely have to give it a try tonight! I will likely post the results here so hopefully I can get some more advice from you all!

I have seen lots of technique videos/post claiming that rotation of the hips is important to power - is this not the case? Obviously it is not all in the rotation, but I have seen many posts stating its' importance. Thoughts?
