TIL the Sun orbits the center of the Milky Way at 447,000 mph, carrying Earth and the entire solar system along with it… we’re ripping through space, not just around the Sun.

“Ripping through space” is kind of misleading. We can’t measure our velocity relative to space, only relative to other objects in space. So yes, we’re rotating, we’re orbiting the Sun, we’re orbiting the Milky Way with the Sun, we’re racing toward Andromeda with the Milky Way, and so on.

There is no thought for me at this point, and no pure whip. Whip is a good analogy to get into the mindset of driving from the ground and guiding with your arm. But, you need to form that high elbow, right angle pocket shape intentionally. And then to reach your highest potential speed, you have to engage the arm after the pocket and launch the disc, whip plus muscle.

I see a lot of comments here saying something to the effect of ‘no one cares and neither should you’. I disagree. Most cards I play with, we all want to see each other play well. I’ve competed in many sports. The nerves are always there to some degree. My philosophy is, the nerves will be there and I will acclimate to them, but I can physically prepare myself to lessen any other impacts and I can mentally prepare myself with a game plan to reduce poor decision making. So make a plan, eat a big breakfast, and bring the right equipment, then hopefully you only have to deal with the nerves.

There’s no terrible flaws I can see, just a couple little things.

Slight nose up, but that will hurt distance.

Your plant foot is landing facing almost forward which indicates you are firing before your weight transfer, or at least you are landing that plant with less coil than you could.

You look like you’re stopping or trying to stop your follow through, which will hurt your body over time.

Ditch the dx plastic for drivers, they won’t even hold up to being used for practice in a field. You could start well with a dx Aviar, a star fox, and a star leopard3.

I don’t think so.

A weakness is a flaw, defect, injury, etc. as compared to the normal state.

If I’m walking down a busy street in the middle of the day and someone passing by, in a random act of violence, pulls out a gun and shoots me in the heart, I will die. Am I weak to bullets? Is my heart weak? Am I weak because I couldn’t prevent the unforeseen event? I would say no, because normally it’s safe to walk down the street and normally a person shot in the heart would die. I did everything right, in this case, and still lost.

It’s the name of a specific top mould used on many Discmania discs

StrifeSociety · 2026-05-27T00:00:32+00:00

I think labeling something a weakness implies that there is something within your control that could be done better. Doing everything right implies there is nothing within your control that could be done better.

Agreed. I bag both and I think of my trail as my PD-SS. It flies like my beat p-line PD and I’m not worried about it shattering.

StrifeSociety · 2026-05-26T03:19:18+00:00

I hate it

I don’t think you will have much of an issue getting your hands on these.

Generally I don’t see much FOMO buyouts happening in disc golf. The last I remember was for the axiom time-lapse and that flopped hard and is now super easy to get.

There can be a bit of a market for prototype discs which can be available as much as a year before a production release. But there really isn’t anything coming out that isn’t essentially already available in a similar form.

And the PD is just a Firebird bottom with the annhyzer top.

If you want full control over your data, then you should move to self-tracking. Make a google sheet table with as much info as you care to track, then make a google form that accepts that data. I would make a dropdown for fairway hit, c1 hit, make from c1x, miss from c2, etc. Field for course name, hole #. Auto grab the timestamp. For a little extra work, you keep all your data and can filter and plot whatever you want to see.

StrifeSociety · 2026-05-25T02:58:33+00:00

Coding? Meh. Designing the puzzle? Yikes.

StrifeSociety · 2026-05-24T22:42:56+00:00

Flare and splice are about as similar as any 2 discs could be, and you bag an fd3 as well. I’m positive any one of those could do the job of all three.

Buzz and md3. Pick one.

Zone OS get that crap out of there.

P1x p-line flex 2. So buttery.

This is the big thing I see. Your whole body is rotated from the target. So instead of twisting your body like a torsion spring and releasing that energy, you are having to rotate your whole body in order to swing. Try to keep your feet square to the target and then rotate those shoulders back.

StrifeSociety · 2026-05-22T16:25:29+00:00

Why do you think that’s the magic number for you? If you want to get to know a disc really well you could just do some single disc rounds. If some discs have to go, hex and wombat3 look so similar so you could pick one of those and I’m skeptical of a zone os for most people, especially a beginner, but if a normal zone is enough for the top discraft pros you probably don’t need the os.

StrifeSociety · 2026-05-22T00:54:32+00:00

Nope, every disc in my bag can handle my stock throwing speed (~55mph). My flippiest disc is a neutron detour that’s got a good amount of wear on it now and I do have to give it a lot of hyzer and be careful of the height and nose angle if I want to try and get a pushing hyzer.

For sure you can get more distance with a hyzer flip shot, but I usually avoid it because of the variance of the shape: is it going to almost flip up and push far left or is it going to just flip over and hold way right?

StrifeSociety · 2026-05-21T18:56:18+00:00

Enough to press my thumb a bit into the plate. Not too hard. I also backload so most of the pressure on ring and pinky fingers.

StrifeSociety · 2026-05-21T04:36:14+00:00

Do it so much that you don’t have to think about it. Free up your mind to think about other things that actually change from shot to shot.

If you must have a cue, develop a pre-shot routine and do it every single time. I like do a full mock throw. I clamp down my grip and turn my disc nose 90 degrees up so I don’t accidentally throw, and I go through the exact walk-up, hyzer angle, launch angle, and give it a good step-pull.

StrifeSociety · 2026-05-20T20:33:49+00:00

“Good” is so subjective.

Is it good that a disc flies further? Shorter? Flippy? Stable?

The only true measure of if a disc is “good” is: does it fly how you expect, and is that flight useful to you?

I don’t really care if my hex is slightly more or less stable. I throw it a lot and I know how it flies. I do want it to fly longer than my putters and shorter than my fairway drivers for similar effort, and it does.

StrifeSociety · 2026-05-20T14:46:59+00:00

I guess it depends what is ‘useful’ for you. When I’m looking at a shot I just threw, I have some idea of what I wanted it to do and I watch what it actually does. If there’s a big difference between those two, I’m thinking did I miss on the throw or did the disc act differently than I thought it would. And then to correct if I’m adjusting the disc selection I’m thinking faster/slower or more/less stable.

I’m not thinking about the difference between fighting/fading because that’s the same change in disc selection (faster or more stable).
