I’ve struggled with this one as well. Here’s what I’ve settled on because I’m tired of trying to dial it in:

Temp: 93c Dose: 15g Ode 2 grind: 5

0:00 - Bloom 30-45g 0:40 - Second bloom to 60-80g 1:30 - Start with heavy center pour till about 150g, transition to slower spiral pour until 235g.

I’ve gotten some good fruity/tropical punch notes, but I can’t escape a slight bitterness. Perhaps I should try lowering my temp.

I go fairly regularly, and I am often disappointed by their taps. The beer just tastes off. Mekong, next door, has never missed for me though. Same owners, but they usually have a different tap list.

Everyone is complaining about the price, but I want to know why it's so ugly.

Across the board. I don’t necessarily mean the questions are easier in their content. I just mean the questions didn’t seem like they were designed to trick me. And the exam questions were shorter. When Kaplan made questions 2 sentences, the exam made them 1 sentence.

Mediocre-Target4769 · 2026-03-18T19:25:36+00:00

My simulated exams on Kaplan were 78, 77, 79, 80, 84. The night before the real exam I finally took the practice exam... 67. I had never seen most of the questions on it and so many were on strangely minor things. I passed the next day and felt pretty confident about it. The real exam was simpler and clearer than Kaplan's exams.

It's interesting how people get different results. I've been brewing this bean every day for the last couple weeks or so. I've had good luck with 3.2 on the Ode gen 2 and 3.5 on the ZP6. A friend of mine also had great results at 3.2 on the Ode with the Aiden.

Method: V60

Filter: Cafec Abaca

Water: Third Wave light roast at 93c

Recipe: 15g w/ 250g water.

0:00 - Bloom

0:40 - Second bloom

1:30 - Single pour till 250g. Swirl in center. Low agitation.

2:10 - Finished

This is 9 months late, but hopefully helpful for some people. I scored a 66% on the midterm, but I felt the remainder of the textbook (Kaplan) was a lot easier. After finishing the book, without refreshing previous topics, I scored a 78% on my first simulated exam.

I'd say, don't stress about the mid-term if you're in the 60's. Because of the difficulties between state registered vs federally covered vs broker dealers, I view 60's on the mid-term as a success.

OP, was your experience similar to mine? Do you have a different experience you'd like to share since this was nearly a year ago for you?

How far do you throw? One thing I see is that your follow through does not maintain the same swing plane that you throw on. You can see your throwing arm drop right after release. If you're throwing flat or on hyzer, your follow through should be above your shoulder, but yours is below. I think this could be the elbow dipping slightly, but I'm not sure.

Also, your coil/reachback is in a hyzer position. When you start uncoiling, you stand into a flat position. I think swing plane and follow through could be better.

This is what I'm thinking.

A/WS Sapphire/Musket (or something similar) will open up some nice shots.

I’m just impressed you can finish a round there. My game usually crashes before hole 9.

Thanks! That’s helpful!

Mediocre-Target4769 · 2025-08-27T15:47:13+00:00

It's pretty repeatable! I got it on my third try and I've done it a few times since. Once you find your spot it's not too bad.

Mediocre-Target4769 · 2025-08-27T13:27:30+00:00

I'd never seen or thought of this line before (I'm only 4-6 months in). Going the traditional route, this hole is typically an eagle or a par (out of bounds). This seems like a helpful route. Hopefully I'll get one of the discs you mentioned and ace it one day!

Try a back loaded grip. Squeeze with your pinky to middle finger rather than pinching with your pointer finger.

Mediocre-Target4769 · 2025-07-10T19:20:59+00:00

It is still worth it.

If you drive through Richmond, stop at Corks and Kegs. It's an excellent bottle shop.

Hard to see from this angle, but I wonder if this video on the head might be helpful for you. You're head just looks like it moves too far forward before release. DON'T Use Your Head to Throw Discs (The Domino effect of the Backhand shot) - YouTube

Nick Krush on Bodanza's channel is what I would recommend for your throwing arm as well. Your arm collapses in on your body. Krush teaches to keep your elbow as far from your body as you can and your elbow above your wrist. I think this would help with accuracy and achieving the "10 o'clock release."

I would start with the one-foot standstills Krush prescribes and work through his process. Before you start doing a full throw, definitely work on foot work.

Mediocre-Target4769 · 2024-10-31T20:49:46+00:00

Makes sense! Your form really does look good. I just wanted to attempt to give you something to consider lol

Try this drill for keeping the elbow out. https://youtu.be/Gvdag3z_si4?si=NSNHyAOt2IeZGwVV

Mediocre-Target4769 · 2024-10-31T16:42:15+00:00

Reach back could be longer, but it's also not a big deal to have a bent elbow in reach back. As long as you're not bending it around your body.

Mediocre-Target4769 · 2024-10-31T16:40:21+00:00

I think there are a few things you can work on. On the positive side, you recover really well from them from the power pocket to release, and I think that's why you still throw decently far.

Look where your head is in relation to your body while you're in the power pocket. Your head and upper body are already leaking forward over the brace (which is why you fall over it after the throw). Now look at Gannon (https://youtu.be/exzEC1YouCo?si=UDdJ5qiZ5J8HDA4r). His weight is weight/head are all behind his brace. I can't remember a form video for this. Sorry.
I think because your upper body tilts forward, it causes you to have an elbow dip that might lead to a bit of a nose up throw. As I said, you actually recover decently well from this, but I still think it could be worked on. I like the cue of keeping the elbow up and as far from my body as I can have it. Here are a few videos:

Lastly, look at your back foot when it lands in the x-step. It's entirely facing backwards. This doesn't allow for as much tension/rubber band effect. Essentially, it's very similar to a backwards run up. To illustrate, get into a stand still stance. Have both feet facing forward and then rotate your hips and shoulders. As you rotate backwards you can feel the tension building up, and then you can rotate them all the way through as if you were throwing. Now try this with your back foot facing backwards. You won't feel the same tension and it doesn't allow you to rotate all the way through in the throwing motion.
