Form check

Hello ladies and gents, I had somebody film a drive for me. Something seems off and inefficient about my throw but I can’t figure out exactly what it is. This is a typical flip to flat controlled distance shot for me. If I go over 300’ I’m really happy with my drive. Any feedback is appreciated.

Wide ass feet needs a shoe

I think the title speaks for itself. Anyway, here's wonderwall.....

But seriously though, I have the difficult task of trying to find good quality disc golf shoes that fit my feet. I can remember having to wear a size 12 or 13 just to have the side to side room. Let me tell you something, trying to play Football with cleats 2 sizes too big is a twisted ankle waiting to happen. Anyway, I'm looking for updated opinions on wide waterproof shoes and any would be appreciated. I would also ask if you have make and model suggestions as well because the brand sites themselves are no help at all. Thanks again for the read as well.

Backhand form check

I can push a shryke 115m, putters 80m, fairways 100m, can hit gaps decently consistent, but need more distance for pro courses. Any tips for better legs and overall form? thanks

Tournament Entry Cost

I’m curious what you pay, on average, for an AM entry to a B or C tier event. 1 day, 2 rounds. Prices seem very high where I live.

Spin putt RPM and general throw RPM

I hear more spin is better for putting, but can't find any actual numbers of what RPM anyone hits, amateurs or pros. Has anyone collected any data on this?

Other numbers I'd be curious in would be disc spin rate over a range of throw speeds from 20mph-80mph pro territory, curious how non-linear it is.

Muddy Game

I was throwing at our local course & threw a bomb on hole 17, had to get it from the creek and immediately lost my footing and went straight into the mud. Got my disc back tho!

Just started playing and I have a question...

I'm 62 years old and I haven't been very active for the last 15 or so years. Before that, however, I was a pretty good golfer and I was a decent baseball pitcher in High School. I've always had good core strength so I thought disc golf would be... a little easier... than it has been so far.

I've been studying instructional YouTube videos and trying to work on my form, but I can't throw any of my starter set discs more than about 150 feet. What worries me is that, at this point, I don't see HOW I'm ever going to throw a disc 300+ feet. I feel like my form is "okay" and my arm speed is good. I'm just not getting any distance. When I was only hitting my golf drives 150 yards I knew that my form was way off, and my clubhead speed was poor. It was obvious what I needed to do to improve.

Here's a question for other former newbies. Did your drives gradually get longer? Or was it like something clicked in your head, finally, and then you practically doubled your drive distance overnight?

I don't know about you guys but...

I love seeing the woods golf players rise to the challenge. I love watching bombs as well but there's something about carving up lines in the woods that brings me back to my DG roots. I grew up on a course that required to open shots and then you navigated your way through a forest of trees.

Slow Play

This is a rant, so bear with me. I was playing today with my girlfriend, but this is an issue that constantly comes up.

For starters, I play fast. But I struggle to understand why some people are so so so slow, especially if they played the course before. I understand if it’s first time ever playing a course, but if not? Can someone explain to me why people with 40 discs, played the particular course 100s of times still play slow?

It always boggles my mind.

FPO/MPO - Back to Back Live Coverage

Due to the storm delays, this has been one of the best morning so far for watching coverage. I love being able to watch live lead card coverage of both FPO and MPO back to back. I wish every tournament could be like this.

Would it be possible to plan for this?

For example set tee times like described below:

Bottom 25% of FPO, Bottom 25% of MPO, Lower-middle quarter of FPO, Lower-middle quarter of MPO, Upper-middle quarter of FPO, Upper-middle quarter of MPO, Top 25% of FPO, Top 25% of MPO

OR

Bottom 50% of FPO, Bottom 50% of MPO, Top 50% of FPO, Top 50% of MPO

Overall the goal would be to have FPO lead coverage end at the start of MPO coverage. I don’t think there is a perfect plan, but definitely worth trying to achieve.

I think this would be amazing for both spectators in person and at home.

Rent Free

How much mental energy do you think Catrina and Austin spend on Natalie Ryan. I don’t think she ever needs a place to stay on tour since she lives rent free in their heads.
