Beginners / Re: Forehand throwing disc suggestions

« on: October 29, 2011, 07:07:36 PM »

I haven't forgotten about this thread, I just haven't been disc golfing in the last two weeks because I've been busy at work.  I'm going to try and get outside tomorrow and take a few videos so I can get some tips.

I've been working on throwing normally, but I just don't have the distance yet that I want.

Until I can get some video, I will describe how each of my throws typically go with each disc.

valkyrie - Right hand, forehand throw.  Typically goes very straight or a little bit to the right.  Trails off to the left as it slows down.  Average of ~250-300 per throw.  Most of my throws end up to the left of the target.
avenger ss - Right hand, forehand throw. probably travels about 100' before it curves left.  ~175 total feet per throw.
crush - I throw this one right hand, backhand as my "approach" shot.  If I throw it forehand, it typically goes very straight (start to finish).  Probably get about ~150-200 feet.
Coyote - ? Haven't thrown in a while.
aviar - putter. 
rhyno - putter.

Thanks.

Thanks for the info.  I'll definitely give those discs a look.

Beginners / Forehand throwing disc suggestions

« on: October 08, 2011, 06:12:58 PM »

I'm really just starting to get into disc golf.  I played a bit in college w/ some friends, but hadn't played much since.

I'm looking to add a few disc to my currently pathetic collection, but I'd like a few suggestions.  I'm a right-handed forearm thrower.

Is there a certain type of disc that somebody might recommend for a forearm thrower (looking for a driver mostly).  Right now I'm using a Valkyrie for distance, but I'd like something a bit better.  I'm looking at the following: Destroyer (I've tried a friends a love it), Terminator, Nuke, Wraith and Force.

Are there any forearm throwers that have had better success with one type of disc over another?

I have yet to buy my own disc,  What I have is what has been given to me by friends.
valkyrie
avenger ss
crush
Coyote
aviar
rhyno

Thanks.

Lost my speed demon on hole 13 or so at Shawnee Mission.  It was tan w/ Gattaca across the front in blue letters.  Been missing about a year now.  Anybody?

Found and Lost / Re: Found: Blue Star Destroyer

if it was a light blue destroyer found at shawnee mission then it could be mine.  I lost mine a while back on like the 9th hole (into some trees).  I don't think I had my name on the back yet though ( as it was brand new) "Isringhausen".  So maybe just the weight # was on the back 174 (I think).
