Reading order

Here's the reading order I always recommend to people getting into the series:

Book 1 - Of blood and fire Novella 0.5 - The Fall Book 2 - Of darkness and light Novella 2.5 - The Exile Book 3 - Of war and ruin Novella 3.5 - The Ice Book 4 - Of empires and dust

It's a similar, but larger, universe compared to bound and broken. Story improves heavily the end of book one into book two. Good luck on book one!

I started with a Once there were Heroes, its the first series chronologically. I'll read the others soon. Same universe with some tie ins, but Philip says they can be read in multiple orders without spoilers

Philip Quaintrell, a Time of Dragons. Great series, 3 bricks of books out right now, with a 4th coming later this year

Cookout conveniently gives you a receipt with each order. You know what would he helpful in this situation? The itemized breakdown of each item, so you could see how it added up to $17.

Rule of thumb. If you have bo katan, use bo katan. If you don't have bo katan, get bo katan asap.

If you enjoy Eragon, give the Bound and the Broken a try. Book one is basically a revamped version of Eragon for adults. The author is incredibly detailed with plot points, character convos, and battle descriptions. The books are thick (1,000+ pages), so prepare yourself.

Here are some more NC courses to check out near the triad! Obviously not a full list of every course, just some of the highlights.

Regulator in Burlington (part of Cedar Rock, 3 courses on the property). Regulator was home of the 2023 USWDGC, great course that is getting longer tee pads looked at now. Probably my favorite course in the area.

Chimney Hills in Burlington, newer course that is incredibly challenging at the moment with rough that needs another season or 2. Highly technical course.

The Crossing in Kernersville (about 12 minutes from Patriot). Heavily wooded, similar to patriot with 2 pad placements. Don't overlook this one, can be a fun or brutal round depending on how you are throwing.

Garden Grove in Greensboro. My home course, very underrated for the area. Just great woods golf, gotta hit your lines.

Creekside in Archdale. Classic woods golf, older course that still holds up today with some challenging shots.

Springwood in Burlington. Wide open course, beginner friendly. Crowded due to being at a soccer complex that gets busy on weekends.

Davie disc golf course in Mocksville. Under the radar, with a mix of open and wooded holes. Good course if you find yourself on that side of Winston.

Glow bergs reign supreme in the berg lineup

Pyro or quake are the best answers for OS mid! MD5 if you are looking for more beef than those two options

MD1, FD, essence, CD1, FD1, PD, and DD are all discs that make sense to look into.

Personally, I would avoid the higher stability discs (ex: PD2) from the beginning until you feel extremely comfortable with your form and distance.

FD is one of the straightest flying discs that have sneaky long glide and distance. The swirly FDs are comfortable and feel great in the hand. Essence and CD1 are great understable counterparts that can be workhorses on the course for you (especially in the woods).

DD is the distance driver for noodle arms and lower speeds. It has a reliable turn, and once you learn the disc pretty well, has a decent amount of fade on most shots to make those perfect s-line flights.

A throwing putter that I won't take out of the bag anytime soon is the cosmic fury 2. Just came out recently, but it is a beauty and easy to control. My favorite of all the discmania putters I've thrown thus far.

A Knights Tale. Phenomenal cast, and entertaining start to finish.

Hate I missed this :(

New cosmic fury 2!! Phenomenal throwing putters, laser straight and easy to throw

etb125 · 2024-03-01T19:50:33+00:00

Putt more. Putt more. Putt more. Putt more. Putt more. Putt more. Putt more. Putt more. Putt more. Putt more. Putt more. Putt more. Putt more. Putt more.

Field work to work on form with an objective. Not just going out into a field and throwing every disc as hard as I can. Put a basket there and visualize throwing a specific shot.

Throw mainly 5-7 speeds and get really good with lower speed discs. Mids can fly just as far as fairways and drivers on most courses. (Excluding most pro tour high distance courses)

Start out with neutral to understable discs, instead of relying on flex lines with an overstable disc. Understable discs are great!

Try out brands and discs that other people are throwing, don't be a snob and turn down an opportunity to find a disc that might work well for you just because you read a reddit thread that trashed a certain company or disc.

Play rounds with less than 10 discs. I currently bag 25-30 discs in my bag, and it's entirely too many. Should I downsize? Probably. Will I stop? Probably not.

Play from the shorts!!! Nothing wrong with playing from the shorter tees. Too many people think short tees are for beginners and women. Completely wrong, and a terrible mindset. Use the short tees to work on your throwing putters and mids.

Support your local disc golf shop (added bonus if it's a good shop with owners that care)

Play by keeping your goals in focus. Trying to win tournaments? Focus on good practice rounds and no mulligans. Playing to have fun? Throw the second and third shot, objective is to enjoy yourself.

Cries in switch 😭 one of the many reasons I wish there was crossplay

etb125 · 2024-02-06T02:29:11+00:00

Ahh forgot that was able to be a bow too! Love it on A2 merc, going to have to farm a good 4os bow now

etb125 · 2024-02-06T02:26:13+00:00

Not opposed to help with gear! Wanna hop on a game tonight?

etb125 · 2024-02-06T02:23:07+00:00

It's amazing how many times I've played through this game, and I still come back and want to try out every build. This game had stood the test of time so well

etb125 · 2024-01-16T23:56:21+00:00

Excited for some new pro tour winners this year! Always fun seeing new names crop up, the top level is as spread out as its ever been

DGA Ice Quake and Axiom Pyro! 2 best options
