Mvp releases

Does anyone know why mvp split there releases between usa and other countries overseas? I live in Sweden and wonder why they release it 1 week earlier in usa than they do here in Sweden? Been this way past releases and looks like it will be the case when gyropaloza gets released🥲.

Disc Golf Center

I used to but a fair number of discs from these folks. Went to their website today and it's all ball golf stuff.

Did something happen to them?

Grip AX6 Special Editions

Hi there,

I'm in the market for a nice pro bag, and really like the Simon AX5. It had some very good discounts these past days too, but I decided to wait for an AX6 special edition from maybe Simon or Eagle. But there is no info to be found wether an AX6 Special Edition will come. Does someone have some info on that maybe? Or when to expect them?

Thanks in advance

Putting League software

Our winter putting league is normally set up as 8 stations that you rotate through. This is obviously not a course, so UDisc didn’t allow the set up again this year.

What if any software do you all use at your putting leagues? Especially putting leagues with a station rotation format.

Lat64 just dropped lightweight Grace!

Title says all. Grace in the 165-169g range now available in the Latitude 64 store. I've been wanting to get my hands on one for a long time. Wanted to share the news!

Winter course layout with short pin placements

My home course used to always put baskets in the shortest placements during winter but stopped doing it. I always thought it was so we wouldn't have to throw and walk as far with wet shoes or just being plain cold. We get some snow and some very cold days that can go into the teens or even single digits (fahrenheit). Do other colder places have a "shorts only" winter layout policy?

PSA: Z Glo Buzzz doesn't glo

Buy it because you love the way it flys. (Because it's a great flyer. It's in my daytime bag now)

Buy it because you love the stamp. (Because it's kick ass. It's frickin Beetle...I mean Buzzzjuice)

Buy it for any reason other than the glow. Because it sucks the meat. Seriously. It's great for 5-10 seconds.

If you need a neutral mid for your glow bag, buy a Crave and be happy.

Opinions

I really like the passion and I was thinking about getting a Z line one. I have thrown the esp tour series z flex and the ti but wondering if anyone could enlighten me if/how the Z line might fly a bit more stable/understable. i don’t have a crazy arm speed but it’s decent lol

Approach Discs

I currently have a zone that I forehand and an envy I backhand. I don’t think the envy is as overstable as I want but I don’t like how the zone is in my backhand. I like throwing mvp and latitude 64 so if there are discs like that I can throw do you all have recommendations. Another thing is I want a 4 speed that is a little straighter than my zone. I’m currently looking at a 500 A4 from prodigy. What are your guys thoughts or recommendations.

Recommendations on buying used discs

So up until last year I had this super flippy dx valkarie which I used for backhand rollers but unfortunately it was lost. I went to play it again sports and picked four used discs for a hopeful replacement but none of them were even close to as flippy. The discs I went with were a katana, crank ss, vulcan and a daedalus. I plan on going back again so are there any recommendations for how I should go about getting the flippiest shit they have in stock?

edit: Forgot to mention my max distance is around 300ft. So for my slower arm speed maybe I should be prioritizing fairway drivers instead?

Microbubbles: A Feature or a Bug?

Let me start by saying, I'm not even sure if these are microbubbles.

I got two Proto Glow Champion discs today and the glow is awesome. Something I haven't seen mentioned is that they glow easily. Meaning, my UV light needs new batteries and although my MVP took a while to start glowing the Innova lit up right away.

Back to the matter at hand. I got a Valkyrie and a Leopard3. The Leopard3 has noticeably more microbubbles(?) in the rim. Looking at my other glow plastic, you can see it with most manufacturers. My TSA Mana has it worse than my Valkyrie and you can even see it a bit in MVP's flight plates.

Is this something common with glow plastic? Does it affect anything? Should I be concerned that my Leopard3 has it so much worse than my Valkyrie? Is it worth reaching out to Innova or is this not a QA issue?

I should mention I have a GStar Wraith F2 that has it and assumed that is why it was an F2.

Westside VIP Sword = Innova Champion Glow Tern?

Just picked up a used VIP Sword and it works perfectly with my arm speed. My current favorite driver is. Champion Glow Tern. They seem to fly very similarly for me. Both have excellent glide and the perfect stability for my 375’ish backhand. Anyone else able to compare these discs?

Basket Case

I’ve been one since Halloween. Almost tossed my quiver into the abyss I’ve been so pissed off. I haven’t played 2 holes since nor have the mental desire. This feeling sucks. And it’s gonna be a long time to get thru it and enjoy normal life again. In hopes of getting there sooner rather than later I figured hood will won’t hurt the karma. And my karma needs an assist. And I found some assists to improve the karma. So to thanks the assists and the Karma Gods I did a thing to boost potential of more good will my way. I spoke to sports director at my daughter’s school today and they were like sure no problem. So to grow the game and grow karma I bought her school a new 30 chain portable basket. As a gift from her to her classmates. It’s on the way and I feel a load better too. Peace to all

Just started a month ago. Advice on form?

Looking for lessons

Is there some resource I could use to find a coach near me or something? I have a lot of questions I want to ask in real time and work on forehand.

Years ago I remember seeing "clinics" randomly on YouTube but not sure how to get in on it.

For someone who has never watched disc golf, what would be the most exciting pro tour round for them to watch on YouTube?

I can’t quite decide what would be the best round of pro tour disc golf on YouTube to show someone who has never watched disc golf. My father in law is interested but would love to find the most exciting round. Thought I’d post because it’s kind of a cool thing to think about.

Best Destroyer-like disc?

I recently lost my (star)destroyer, and I was wondering if there are any other similar discs that people like better.

I started using a (G*)dominator, but it seems to be a little bit too overstable for me (throw in the vid is uncharacteristically bad, though. I usually get ~300 ft)

I somewhat like the (blizzard) boss, but I want to find something that I can use for hard hyzer shots that are not super far (275-300 ft). Is getting another destroyer my best bet, or would a different disc work well for me?

A video of me throwing a bunch of random discs and a collage of how far each of them went is below to get a sense of my form.

I will happily buy from any brand, but I have been mainly referencing Innova discs because that is what I know best.

Thanks!

P.S. Sorry for the bad video quality, it must have accidentally been compressed somewhere in the pipeline. I can post a separate slo-mo shot if anyone thinks it will be helpful.

Give me your best advice

This is me throwing about 285-300' with my trusty Star Thunderbird. If I get lucky I can push 340 with my Grace, but that's a rare occurrence. I would say my reliable distance is between 285 and 300.

What I can gather from looking at the video myself is that I'm pulling early, before my weight has fully transferred to the front foot. It also looks like I'm standing up too much, despite me actively trying to be lower when I throw.

Final note is that I do have a fused spine, as a result my thoracic mobility, both rotational and otherwise is basically non-existent.

Todays round

Went out for a casual solo round this morning at Roy G in Austin- Arrived same time as Bradley Williams, I jumped ahead and played a hole ahead the whole round- That pro-level energy rubbed off on me - only hit 4 trees and 2 were on same hole - great drives and throws overall - —- what tour pros have you run into and played a round with?

Tricep Workout

I’m trying to workout regularly so I don’t get old and fat, no offense to anyone who’s old and fat. I was curious if working on my triceps will give me any benefit on my disc distance?

Pig/roc overlap

Anyone notice overoq with h beaten pig and ypur Rocs? May be a noodle arm prob but I feel like my beaten pig encroaches on roc territory sometimes. Didn't know if pig throwers threw a faster or straight mid to compliment it maybe? Like a Mako3 instead of roc as your staple?
