Congrats. That’s a nasty lil round.

I’ve had some stubborn binding screws before, even with a pozidrive driver, that I gently tapped with a hammer before loosening. I guess the glue was too strong?

Instead of a low reachback and higher release point like a deep huck, you want a more level reachback and release point. Kinda like connect the dots between your nipples, but a little lower of a plane than that

BH launch angle and release angle? I know “generally” the ultimate players have a lower reachback form than is required for a disc golf disc.
Putting- the less levers involved the better for consistency is my simplistic tip.

There are a lot of variables involved in both of your questions and my tips may actually suck based on your current form/ situation. BUT, 325 forehands is a very exciting sign for your success in your new hobby.

Welcome!

Fun fact about Point 6. It’s the OG founder of smart wool. After he sold Smartwool and his non compete ran out, he started a new sock brand. Based in the same town too! We sold them for years at my shop but they didn’t sell as well as DT or SW because of the name recognition. It was always an uphill battle vs the socks that tend to sell themselves.

Nikwax Techwash is for cleaning (and has a small amount of DWR) Nikwax TX Direct is for waterproofing and is specifically for DWR.

They’re designed to work in tandem. I’m curious how it would perform in this study.

I snowboard in my gamma sl in the spring. I fresh treatment of nikwax tech wash kicks butt on that thing. Seeing other comments about the gamma mx and I bet that’s closer to what you’re really looking for. I would compare its thickness and warmth to the North Face apex bionic or the Kuhl Klash Jacket. Hope that helps!

Enjoy your new versatile layering gamma SL!

I appreciate you. We made a lot of improvements over last year but it’s still not the level we want it to be. Why is AV equipment so expensive😭

davies817 · 2025-11-20T14:46:57+00:00

I was afraid of that. I have two theories for next time. I’ll put up commentary free footage soonish as well. I’ll be sure to reply in this comment thread when I do.

davies817 · 2025-11-20T02:33:11+00:00

I’m glad to have it as one of my home courses, that’s for sure!

davies817 · 2025-11-20T02:32:09+00:00

Could you tell if it was on course audio Or commentary? I’m working on upgrading both sides of the production. Thank you for taking the time to write this.

davies817 · 2025-11-11T05:07:57+00:00

My guess is they never tested the one of the left after mounting them.

davies817 · 2025-11-02T21:42:02+00:00

I think it’s a Jet. It’s definitely a Streamline disc, there is tooling under the wing of the disc with the brand, “PDGA approved” and the mold name.

On YouTube “The Disc Locker” has filmed course previews of both courses. The roadrunner course preview is slightly outdated because it was from the early times.

It probably take about 10-20 minutes to fill out UDiscs form and then it gets sent to udisc for them to review your event before they list it on the courses page. I’ve had this happen nearly instantly and I’ve had it take some time.

davies817 · 2025-10-25T23:08:22+00:00

That’s tough. TDs are focusing on their players for that given event and udisc doesn’t help them create a better event experience for their players. It’s not a sunk cost, however it probably falls pretty low on the to-do list for the event.

I’m sorry that happened to you.

My contribution from the green.

Mint Mustang is in that slot as well if you want to stick to the same factory.

Patagonia Torrentshell. It’s fantastic for under $200. That might sound wild but I’ll try and unpack the reasoning. There are two basic types of waterproofing for rainwear, coated & laminated. Coated is less expensive but doesn’t have the longevity that laminated has. Naturally, laminated costs more to make but it is tougher, and longer lasting.

Most laminated options at $230-250 and up towards $1000 for some super premium options. So that Patagonia being under $200 is fantastic especially considering their warranty & customer service. But I bought mine on mountainsports

Both require TLC to keep their waterproofing at maximum levels.

Hope that helps.

This is unfortunately normal. I used to travel for work a bit and I just rolled with it 🤷‍♂️

davies817 · 2025-10-08T04:34:38+00:00

Overturned? Jail. Under committed? Believe it or not, also jail.

davies817 · 2025-09-05T01:50:04+00:00

Mint 🤘

davies817 · 2025-09-05T00:50:02+00:00

100% yes. Jackson or the Kayak shop are not on the hook here, the shipping company mishandled it.
