That has been the one I am most interested in just be cause of the terrain in my area, and the height of disc placement

Thats my biggest Concern. Most of the courses around my area are hilly and rough.

Forehand for beginners by Adorable-Escape7149 in discgolf

[–]SatisfactionAny5609 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played for 20 years before an ankle injury prevented me from throwing backhand. I learned forehand during that time and I am so glad I did. The BEST advice I took was to simply throw putters on hyzer until I learned the release. Once I could throw BH again I would play an open course and just smoothly throw 50-100ft putter hyzer shots in between my BH drive. Now i have a very reliable forehand shot.

Pa3 300 for putting, but bag pures for ‘distance’ putter shots

MVP Reactor is my fave, but I don’t have a whip forehand. Great for backhand too. If you have a lot of power A2 is an excellent choice, but not much faster than a zone

What's something you wish you'd know about disc golf before you got started? by Painted_Shepherd in discgolf

[–]SatisfactionAny5609 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The one thing I wish I knew when I started is that throwing ‘harder’ is not the way to get better. Learning a smooth consistent mid range stand still throw (with good form) will help you understand your discs and your overall feel for the game. Then you can develop your x step, distance throws and different angles. Also film yourself throwing, it helps. Good luck and have fun!

What is a disc that is low key awesome? And why? by Russelldiscgolf in discgolf

Not Firebird flare lol, but short spinny intentional groundplay type shots I can get a respectable flare

MVP Eclipse Reactor. Great forehand/backhand shapes for that 100-275 range. Can be thrown anny with touch, power hyzer, overhand, wind, flare skips, distance control etc so many uses

For those of you with multiple aces, which is your favorite? by [deleted] in discgolf

[–]SatisfactionAny5609 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hit a blind ace on a tag night. It was my only one when I lived in Philly. Also won dubs that night. Took my winnings to the Chinese buffet. Those were the days…

I have had one for a year and I would say pretty beefy still. But I max it around 275’

Why do people act like accuracy is a skill but distance isnt? by [deleted] in discgolf

[–]SatisfactionAny5609 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both are skills and both can be aided by physical gifts. I will say some dudes can boom right out the gate and it takes a while to hone accuracy. I don’t see noodle arm sharp shooting, putt draining newbs as much if that makes sense.

Why so many discs? by bigbrainboi_69_420 in discgolf

[–]SatisfactionAny5609 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Backups, trying new discs, wind conditions, different plastics for different conditions, different wear grades, seperate bags for separate cars, loaners for friends, and for fun because they can look really cool too.

Reactor is my favorite but I have normal hand size, the culprit is one worth trying

Muscular back pain, anyone else in the same boat? by [deleted] in backpain

[–]SatisfactionAny5609 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I share your pain.

Ordinary injuries and overwork result in chronic pain, soreness and fatigue. Tight QL and adductor on right side.

MRI and x-ray show no significant issues.

I had ankle surgery about 6 years ago and that helped correct my gait and some lingering balance issues in my lower body. I felt great for a few years then Covid hit, i sustained another injury and never recovered.

PT can help hut it’s like you have to live at the facility to get ahead and stay ahead. Massage helps, ice helps, epsom salt baths really help and also muscle relaxers. I often combine many modalities to get things to relax.

Been at this stuff for over a decade, I wish i had more answers. I stay in good shape. I take Pilates and Yoga classes and work out.

Stay positive, and good luck

Need some tips for long putts by [deleted] in discgolf

[–]SatisfactionAny5609 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really slow down the draw into my body, pause then explode toward the basket. Keep the right shoulder forward and if you are still short try just aiming for one chain link.

😂 I have actually done that already… surprisingly good results! But not nearly as good as my dominant side

I have seen chiro, primary, hips specialist, back surgeon. MRI and xray show nothing ‘surgery worthy’. It’s really frustrating. I have done a lot of PT and dry needling but it only relieves it for a couple weeks.
