Disc golf

Are you talking about products discussed? That just means links to those items were posted earlier in the thread.

 

Quick question: Have any throwers switched to lightweight or "blizzard" plastic discs for more distance? I've tried them upon recommendation for max distance on golf course based DG courses but find them floppy... Is that a fundamental flaw (OAT off-axis torque)? I tend to throw everything around max weight or 173 or above so...IDK, just fishing for your thoughts on them.

Edit add: I honestly CANNOT throw a Road Runner without it flipping nearly vertical while intending to throw flat with a good snap.

 

My boss loves the blizzard platic.

Ive thrown one a few times and it's pretty fun

 

I've got a Westside VIP air King and a blizzard Dominator that I've tried throwing without but they don't give me any more distance honestly... the King was recommended to me years ago when I was learning to forehand (along with a FAF destroyer which is my Nolan Ryan throwing disc) but to use it backhand it's not really "bag-worthy".

 

I've found that there are some discs I just cannot throw flick. I just get so much torque on it, that it'll flip up. I have to stick with more stable discs when I throw flick, or just not put very much power behind it.

As far as blizzard plastic goes, I can throw it just fine flick. I think it comes down to disc selection again.

 

I know exactly what it is. Just poking fun at it!

 

I got my girl some lightweight discs. I've crept away from max weight 175-180 and have found best results around 165-168. I still carry the heavy stuff for high winds

 

Here's the clubhouse the owner of this up and coming club is building out of an old trailer



He's also building a three tier lookout that you can see some of both course from




Today was awesome, I did a little stretch, walked up....and aced thr first hole lol.

It's one I've been wanting for a while also, pretty pumped about that.

Here's a put of no fun lol

 

That look out is sweet!

Congrats on the ace!

 

It's bad ass!!! Thanks man!!

 

I really appreciate when a course is clearly marked. Today we played 9 holes that were not clearly marked

 

^ around here we have volunteer crews that get together and drink beer, trim stuff and what-not. Normally, about 6-8 guys kinda make a course there own and oversee it's maintenance including signage and trail maintenance.

 

This park had an upper and lower 18. They built a 9 as well but now it's all unclear. There is an A tier event soon so I'm sure it will be fixed

 

Absolutely the hardest part of playing a new course or playing when you're out of town and have no idea where to go!

 

Funny sign at the Flying Armadillo lol

 

Players packages for the trilogy challenge was announced. Played in my first one last year and was extremely fun. Can't wait for this year.

DUCT usually has downloadable course maps...sometimes they help...unless someone got biggy with the pin positions..

 

This thread shouldn't be this slow at this time of year. Did every DGer on here start whoring around at DGCR?

 

I just saw this thread and was glad to see Disc Golf as a subject. I haven't played in years and miss it. I have a feeling this is the thing to get me back into the game.
