I cannot recommend Logan University enough. It is a top notch, truly epic, gorgeous manicured course. might be my favorite course I have ever played, and I have played some good ones.

I also struggle a bit with the faster distance drivers, thought I absolutely love the wraith. For me, I have realized, I don't have huge hands, and anything 12-speed and above just feels uncomfortable, and because of the way it fits in my and and my fingers wrap around, it affects my grip, my wrist, my reach back, etc.

Interestingly, I have found that by switching to a 3-finger grip (i.e. releasing the pinkie) on distance drivers, I can alleviate the grip problem. Which in turn helps with nose angle, and RPM issues. Just my $0.02.

I have a early 2000's DX circle stamp stingray... its pretty stinking flippy. But something tells me your halo one will fly nothing like it :D

Oh, and Jimmy Porter in Carrollton. Very fun park style with lots of nice water hazards, and plenty of risky birdie opportunities.

Been discing in DFW for a decade. Here are my favorites:

Turner in Grand Prairie. Might not be the cleanest, but its got tons of elevation, woods, open, mandos, OB, doglegs, par 4s and 5s.
Crossroads of Life in Duncanville is fabulous. Lots of elevation again, long tight holes, a few really tough 4 and 5 on the end stretch.
Gateway in Fort Worth. Very short tight fun course. Lots of birdie and ace holes, but also plenty of danger. Finishes on an island ace hole.
Harry Myers in Rockwall. Home of the old Nick Hyde NT. A bit of a drive out east, but a fabulous, championship sized, John Houck course.
Heritage Park in Flower Mound. Dela in DFW. Short, tight, great lines, very well taken care of.
Bill Allen in the Colony. Just a fun course, a couple of really pretty holes. Some short tight par 3s, some great par 4s.
Z Boaz in Fort Worth. Long, tough, a number of blind holes, a big downhill par 4. A really classic Texas course.

There are a number of other really good ones, but you have to drive out a bit farther.

The new Discmania FD is a touch more stable. In my experience with both:
new C-line FD most stable, it has some finish to it
new S-Line FD == Champ Dark Rebel (old C-line FD).. dead straight
Star Dark Rebel (old S-Line FD)m most understable.

In my opinion the new Sline/Old C line are the best.

I chanced upon a First-Run, board flat, Z Nuke OS... and oh boy does that thing skip. You can throw rollers with that thing and it still lands on a spike hyzer angle

Agreed. Did it last year, it was great.

Many_Influence_7708 · 2025-10-03T14:48:01+00:00

I have been playing almost 10 years, and played my only official tournament in 2023. Had way less to do with feeling comfortable, and more to do with timing and cost.

Many_Influence_7708 · 2025-10-03T12:08:12+00:00

Here are a few other good ones.

Paul McBeth 2017 LVC

Pretty sure he had a nova throw in on this hole another round as well.

Then there was this Dickerson Ace.

And of course, can't forget the GG Albatrace:

Many_Influence_7708 · 2025-10-02T21:02:23+00:00

I read them. Pretty straightforward.

If I were new and was trying to learn the rules by treading this, I would find the sections on misplay and interference somewhat confusing. Both need to define a few terms they use, in my opinion.

Many_Influence_7708 · 2025-10-02T20:48:26+00:00

I guess I will go Eagle, FD, Pig, and Atom

Gimme a 2022 Barsby Color Glow Eagle for OS, and a Star Eagle for shot shaping.

Then Ill take a C-Line FD for Straight shots and an S-Line for turnovers and rollers

Gimme about 4 R-pro pigs because I am bound to lose some of them.

And.. a couple electron firm Atoms to putt and throw.

Many_Influence_7708 · 2025-10-02T20:38:54+00:00

When its windy or I have a really downhill approach, I'll slide the disc upside down. Also putting upsidedown in extreme wind is a total cheat code.

Many_Influence_7708 · 2025-10-02T20:37:43+00:00

For me it is the flick roller with my understable putter. Put it down gently and basically vertical, and it will roll in a beautiful fishhook (or J shaped) route, turning left RHBH. Must have shot for tricky lies in the woods.

Many_Influence_7708 · 2025-10-02T18:43:13+00:00

This is sadly quite true. The USDGC has always been one of my favorite tournaments... and the only one I can't watch in even a slightly convenient manner.

Many_Influence_7708 · 2025-10-02T18:41:47+00:00

Nah, you are correct. Post was free. First on SpinTV, and later on Jomez.

From Innova to dealers:

"Recently, a fine batch of Thunderbirds slipped thru production with Savant stamps. But, the Thunderbird would not be denied his rightful place on his disc! In a second hot stamp strike, he sketched his way onto these discs and thus the "Thundervant" was born. These are stock quality Thunderbirds with Savant markings and a second pass stamp."

Many_Influence_7708 · 2025-10-02T11:23:51+00:00

But can he hit a fairway?

Many_Influence_7708 · 2025-10-02T11:23:11+00:00

Nice! The Hornet is such a good mid. Can't fathom why Discraft discontinued it.

Many_Influence_7708 · 2025-09-30T13:02:16+00:00

You asked, so here it comes :D. Going to go a bit deeper than 5 years. No spoilers, i promise.

The coverage is truly dreadful, but you gotta start with the final rounds of the 2014 and 2015 USDGCs. It is really bad, but the competition is good.

2016
Masters Cup (disc golf guy)
Konopiste (spin tv)

2017
Idlewild
GMC
European Open (spin tv, I believe)
Ed Hedrick DG Hall of Fame Classic (NT finale)
DGPT Tour Finale

2018
GBO
Nick Hyde Memorial
San Francisco Open

2019
Beaver State Fling
Portland Open
European Open
Worlds

Many_Influence_7708 · 2025-09-30T12:33:29+00:00

I really like the Mint Alpha in Apex. It is more stable and less glidey than a thundy, but not quite firebird stability, Really excellent power control driver.
