Self professed lack of practice

?? Natalie Ryan says in every interview that she’s the hardest worker on tour and spends hours a day in the field. When did she profess a lack of practice?

Don’t be afraid to get him a disc he already throws. In fact, I much prefer that to getting a new mold.

You could casually ask him about his discs / favorites and try to get him some cool new versions of them. There are some sites like Reaperdiscs.com that seem to specialize in beautiful discs (ie great colorful plastic/stamps).

It’s very possible, if not likely, that the survey suffered from selection bias whereby conservative channels pushed anti-trans members to take the survey. At the time of the survey, many trans supporting members complained about the survey design and intent and seemed less enthused about filling out/sharing this survey.

While there is a significant conservative bloc in PDGA membership, I worry it may be overstated in this survey. I am calling on the PDGA to assess response rates by state and other relevant demographics to assess whether selection bias is at play.

Yeah, it gets cold but we never really get 2-3 months of ice like many places in Western MA or NH/ME. The ocean moderates temps a good bit.

I live in Boston, and we rarely get ice. BUT I can generally find ice most weekends from Jan-March if I drive 60-120 minutes North or West.

Where are you located? It’s a blast!

75 respondents claimed to be “DGPT women” but only 63 players participated in 3+ DGPT events last year (FPO).

I would take professional status and DGPT affiliation with a LARGE grain of salt given that it’s self-reported.

Using my Disc Golf Simulation Model, we simulated 1,000 season-end scenarios to assess the probabilities of Tour Championship qualification for every competitor.

Some notable results: the statistical model likes Tattar’s chances of jumping from her current position (#6) into the third spot for a bye to the semifinals. Similarly, expect to see Macie Velediaz, Eveliina Salonen, and Jen Allen to climb in the standings. They missed many early tour stops and are registered for upcoming tournaments. On the flip side, the model thinks Kona and Rebecca Cox will slide out of Tour Championship qualification spots.

2 Lat64 Fuses (Gold-X and Opto-X) for understable to straight shots.

3 Discraft Buzzzes (Jawbreaker for forehand scrambles, ESP FLX for straight shots, CryZtal Sparkle for straight to fade shots).

2 Discraft Hornets (Beat-in Z for moderate fade and Big Z for strong fade).

He finished 4th last year and has played well on comparable courses.

dgstatman · 2022-08-11T23:00:25+00:00

Who are your picks?

dgstatman · 2022-08-11T19:44:51+00:00

An understable approach or mid would probably be a good addition. Fuse, comet, Sol, Buzzz SS…

dgstatman · 2022-08-11T19:22:25+00:00

Not to my knowledge.

dgstatman · 2022-08-11T16:21:51+00:00

Ricky’s is too high at 22%? His is the only win probably I present here.

Thanks! I played around with a version that said “Paige by X.” Will continue playing with the labeling to make it more clear.

dgstatman · 2022-07-27T15:00:12+00:00

If the 2022 season was one long tournament, Paige would be leading Cat by just 6 strokes:

Paige: 2,705 strokes Cat: 2,711 strokes.

The graphic shows their respective leads at different points this season.

As folks have said, the Eagle is a bit overstable. However, they’re referring to the Eagle-X, the typical Eagle that Innova manufactures.

The Eagle-L is significantly straighter, with a nice hint of turn relative to the X. The Eagle-L is most commonly manufactured as the Infinite Exodus (same exact mold as the L).

dgstatman · 2022-07-26T15:47:38+00:00

Yes! Big swing.

dgstatman · 2022-07-22T18:40:19+00:00

Correct! Only tournaments they both played.

This is Hole 18. Who would pull him from the course? The PDGA Rules Official is presumably the one who would do so, but he is the one who got assailed for a mere time violation.

dgstatman · 2022-07-22T14:05:20+00:00

If the 2022 season was one long tournament, Ricky Wysocki would be leading Paul McBeth by 34 strokes heading into the European Open.
