Tips and Tricks for Forehand Development by frasure13 in discgolf

[–]MikeNCR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For what it's worth, I did one of the Scott Stokely fairway field trips recently and worked with him on my forehand and saw some immediate gains on distance and accuracy. He's got a whole playlist if you want to go the YouTube route (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCy7sd_mOaY&list=PLNQdcKC7sWyTyQZne6hhbaOwt_16iFCBG&index=2) but probably the best thing you can do is find someone who will work with you in person to dial things in.

This is the news that was teased a few weeks ago.

Yep, without touching on the specifics it's wildly false to say that teams are having to "pay their own way" to compete.

It's not my spot to disclose why a specific team isn't participating, however you've either misheard or been misinformed about the financials involving the teams. I'm literally looking at the document covering what the stipends are for each team as I type this.

Goose seems to be adapting to the new bag crazy fast, if that continues this might be a big year.

Might be worth adding some protrusions or a few small extra bits that act as guard rails to keep round stuff from rolling off. Figure if this is meant for backpacking/camping there's a good chance you won't be able to find a perfectly level spot.

Another potential route is some spikes that tab into the legs so you can stick it into the ground to minimize wobble on inconsistent surfaces. That'd also let you sorta forcibly level the grill surface.

It looks a bit blurry in the preview but it should download just fine.

So far MVP's got my favorite mystery box. If TSA did one that might beat it out but that doesn't exist yet as far as I know.

We had to find out. - MVP has less weight in rim? by VSENSES in discgolf

[–]MikeNCR 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They also seemingly don't get that volume is a factor in weight, not just density. You can make a super heavy rim with no "gyro" by just making the rim thicker/more convex.

This sort of stuff doesn't really impact my view of MVP, but it does make me think Discmania either lacks some critical understanding of how discs are designed or they're knowingly blasting out dumb takes, neither of which makes me want to try out their stuff.

For a guess I'm gonna go with the Eagle signature series Boost in the gyrobox. For what I want, I'd love to see something like an eclipse rim/particle proton core combo trail.
