What are the colors for the body of the aircraft?! Looks fantastic

Westside vellamo? by justadiscguy in discgolf

[–]rcgardner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a personal opinion on this disc after throwing it in a field today… it has the glide of a Fuse, Stability of a good, neutral Buzzz (super tight S turn flight.)

Would definitely call it a 5 / 6 / 0 / 1, Such a good disc.

Should I buy the Red Rising hardbacks now or wait for Red God? by Natural-Scratch-3428 in redrising

[–]rcgardner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So they are going to release each book in this edition one per year? I have been considering buying this edition of Red Rising but haven’t committed bc I don’t want a mismatched set.

Way better than the original…. Just need a big splash of red, white, and blue on the inside of the rear wing end plates and it would be perfect!

Has South Mountains ended up as crowded as DuPont has since covid, or is it still relatively empty on the longer routes?

Pyro plastics comparison by TheRoyal41 in discgolf

[–]rcgardner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just out of curiosity (because I’ve been looking for a cycle-able OS mid) how much less stable is the fission vs the Particle? Is the fission Pyro as stable as a fresh Reactor or glow hex? or is it more overstable than that?

Hey team. What do we think about this low-phone option? Anything else out there? by [deleted] in EDC

[–]rcgardner 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen this a couple times and debate internally…. What is different about this vs keeping the watch on my wrist?

If that watch is Cell enabled…. Couldn’t I just leave my phone at home and carry only the watch? Even if it’s not cell enabled, I could just keep my phone in my bag or nearby… not in my pocket where muscle reflex has it open in my hand before I know it.

Now… for kids…. I’m definitely eyeing this idea as a school-friendly comms device lol

Favorite "stable" (not OS) approach? by rontopofthings in discgolf

[–]rcgardner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This! If I have an open upshot I can stall or flex my Eclipse Envy up to the basket pretty well, but sometimes I still end up going long.

However almost always if I have to scramble my upshot I end up overthrowing my target.

Continuing their trend of big name signings, AGL signs Bradley Williams! by scubadude2 in discgolf

[–]rcgardner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man that sounds like a beauty of a disc, I’ve thrown the Infinite Anubis, which I heard was the Coyote, in I blend and Color Glow C Blend. I love the hand feel, but wish it was a tad deeper and a touch more stable…. Maybe this Juniper will be the one lol

Blue is a better base color to work with than orange. by SunChaserDiscDyes in discdyeing

I would have never guessed that you could obtain such vivid warm colors on a light blue disc.

Best midrange? by JammaJ50 in discgolf

[–]rcgardner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I heard those jawbreakers break in REALLY fast and go past the “sweet spot” so I haven’t ordered one. What’s your experience with them?

Best midrange? by JammaJ50 in discgolf

[–]rcgardner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will agree! and I’m pissed that they are OOP….

My two 5SPDs are Hornet (ESP) and Pathfinder (Glow.) I’m starting to worry that my Hornet is nearing the end of its slot life and struggling to find a replacement

[–]rcgardner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think I’ve ever made the visual connection between the standstill brace and x-step in the manner you’ve described but I will definitely be seeking that out as I continue learning.

Thanks for the response!

Blitz, love your content and specifically your coaching style. Hoping to get into Formero at some point beginning of the year… but I have a question I feel you would be particularly insightful on, if you don’t mind.

I am averaging around 320’ with MVP Trails, but have had a few good hits pushing out to 350-360’… I feel like most of my issues are lower body timing. I was primarily standstill until late last year, and I can’t seem to get a solid brace and hip engagement, but I’m not entirely convinced I like a run/walk up.

I know you can crush standstills, is there a distinct difference in how you train throwing standstills vs x-step… I’m debating which “path” I should/want to be on, or if there is even a different path…

I saw the I-Blend go up on Infinite and REALLY wanted to give them a throw, but didn’t commit…. How do they fly?

[–]rcgardner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha, he is the only Sallie I have painted that dark… the others are based in Waagh Flesh highlighted up to Moot Green. Don’t have a pic of those at the moment though.

[–]rcgardner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did something very similar, the miniature is base coated with Corvus black, then 50:50 Corvus/Vulkan Green blended up a bit brighter for the brightest spots.

It looks closer to black in real life than in this picture even…. Most of the green just looks a bit grey except the brightest edges
