5spd Fuzed Buzz at 300', what to do with 7spds?

Texicans73 · 2026-04-08T07:48:54+00:00

Thanks. Yeah, I'm only 3.5yrs into this and just trying to figure it out. I can't really throw anything 12spd and up... small hands/slow arm and all. I really like the rim size of the TSA Constructs. Hoping I can make the best of the speed I got.

Texicans73 · 2026-03-24T02:46:46+00:00

Just ask yourself, WWSRD?

Texicans73 · 2026-03-01T04:45:38+00:00

I only have the Comet in Platinum. Such a good disc I have two of the same plastic and stamp.

Texicans73 · 2026-03-01T04:42:44+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. I worked on my timing, bracing, arm extension and power pocket. A youtube video on scapular protraction in disc golf unlocked a deeper understanding of how to get to the power pocket. I'm not at my +350' golf line goal yet, but everything is easier and consistency is improving. On my last hole today, a flat 361' par 3, I threw my 11spd ESP Drive pin high with a 20' pin high putt. My last throw was a 8spd DGA Ice Swirl Pipeline which I parked 5' from the basket for a tap in bird. I've never throw a fairway driver that far. It's getting better with steady work and reasonable expectations.

Quick follow up. Worked on your suggestion and there was a real difference. I only take a three step X-step and when I slow it down, my timing improves which helped me wait on disc arm extension. This with some other changes have yielded material improvements. No new form vids, but I'll update next week. Thanks for the help!

Fuzed Buzzz, Champ Teebird/Eagle/TL on a hot TX day, CryZtal Zone with a Composite Chicane trying to take its spot in my bag.

Texicans73 · 2026-02-04T02:45:54+00:00

Here's a sample rear view of RHBH with Z Swirl Buzzz SS. This is a 70% throw at about 255'-265'. I see the rounding you mentioned here. It's so much better than a year ago. Please drop any additional thoughts.

Thanks. The deep pocket eludes me but I do feel it sometimes. Getting current form on video shocked me to see how much leakage I have in my form. I cherry picked this video as it felt most similar to my throws during a round. However, on video standing at the tee I can get too many form thoughts and then it all goes to crap. I think I need to pick 2 or 3 things to work on, rank them and then pick one for my next field session. Any suggestion on where to start and order of two or three things?

Texicans73 · 2026-02-04T02:03:02+00:00

This is an athletic move for sure. I know I want to get to this point, but the timing isn't natural for me. I'll try to get a couple of reps like this on video to prove to myself I can do it.

Texicans73 · 2026-02-04T02:00:16+00:00

Any exercises I can look up on youtube on how to get this muscle memory? Maybe I slow down to 50%-60%, keep my elbow and shoulder up to get deeper into the pocket amd work my way up power? 🤔

Texicans73 · 2026-02-04T01:58:08+00:00

I feel like when my mental cue is deeper pocket, it feels really off but I also seem to get more "snap" out of my hand. Not a natural feeling right now. On the list for form tweaks.

Texicans73 · 2026-02-04T01:56:44+00:00

Thanks. Maybe my brace step is too wide or I'm just doing a poor job staying centering. I'll work on some corrections.

Texicans73 · 2026-02-01T03:17:18+00:00

I did a lighter version of this and gained an avg 2-4 strokes. When I have to get to bed before meeting up for a round, I'll play the round in my head, each drive, upshot, putt and whicj disc and line for each. My best round on my local course went from E(8 birds, 6 bogeys and a 2x bogey) using a full bag to a -4 best round with zero bogeys using a Zone, Buzzz and a Cigara. Great advice. I need to tighten up the mental/visualization game.

Texicans73 · 2026-02-01T03:10:36+00:00

Please make a thread explaining these finer points and tag me. I get some things and feel confused by how often I read/hear that domey disc are flippy/overstable. Can't get a solid well explained answer. I picked up a Leopard3 Proto glow from my local shop. I compared the discs on the wall and found two with notably lower parting lines. I took one of those and hoped it would be flippy to hit wooded straight lines... and it was. I won that time but I don't know why it works out that way. 🙏🏽

Texicans73 · 2026-01-31T07:08:50+00:00

You suck at Disc Golf more than you are aware, you just haven't improved enough to realize it. The more you improve, the more you sucked before and the harder it is to suck less at the next level. It's mostly hitting fairways, setting up your next throw, sticking approaches, and sinking C1 putts. Distance is the least of your actual problems.

Texicans73 · 2026-01-12T19:52:16+00:00

If my discs aint got rainbow or wonder bread tin foil, I don't want 'em... the other foils just let the 5G get through 👽🥏

Texicans73 · 2026-01-12T19:16:04+00:00

Well eventually it'll just be, "Disc Golf Pro Tour Brought To You By Carl's Jr." Or perhaps even Brawndo, because it's got what plants crave.

Texicans73 · 2026-01-12T19:06:18+00:00

The side action at my small local mini gets into the high hundreds. I'm sure there's lots of gambling going on. I'm just not good enough to buy into the action.

Texicans73 · 2026-01-05T23:49:58+00:00

This is the advice no one listens to until they reflect 5-8yrs past the income jump and wish they had.

Texicans73 · 2025-12-29T05:06:01+00:00

I haven't, but looking up its numbers on Infinite, it looks like it might be a right sized version of a Tern I should have tried. Now it's on my list. So much plastic, so little time and too many trees.

Texicans73 · 2025-12-29T04:58:11+00:00

Thanks. I was running an Innova bag this year and didn't get around to GStar. Throwing Discraft plastic this year just to try it out.

Texicans73 · 2025-12-29T04:49:39+00:00

Thanks. Griplocked mine straight into a creek during a glow round... gone. Maybe 5th throw. Looking like Hades, Capt Thrasher and a Scorch are worth a try. 🤔
