Backhand or forehand?? - Page 4 - Disc Golf Course Review: "How often does that happen with a BH anny with a stable disc? Almost never. There is much more touchiness with the FH anny, but then again if you throw BH well there is absolutely no reason at all to master that shot."

The "rip point" - Disc Golf Course Review
The "rip point" - Disc Golf Course Review: "So I'm starting to realize how to use my hips to get much more power out of my drives but when i'm ripping it the disc seems to come out from my ring and middle finger instead of pointer finger as it should. This causes more griplocks and makes it harder to control. I've been experimenting with different thumb placements also. Is there something I could try instead of different grips?"

If the water hazard is frozen is it still OB? - www.DiscGolfersR.Us
If the water hazard is frozen is it still OB? - www.DiscGolfersR.Us: "At the Twin Ponds Course in Asuable, NY. on hole two. From the tee it is 225' over the southern end of the pond then another 125' thru a line of trees to the basket. The line of trees is just 35' short of the basket, so any drive between 225' and 300' has to contend with the trees. However, if you throw 200' to 250' more to the middle of the frozen pond you have a nice open 100' to a 125' approach. Is this still OB or a bonus for freezing our buts off playing?"

Alden resident says winter disc golf keeps the weight off | Albert Lea Tribune: "Disc golf to Dave Sime isn’t just about throwing plastic orbs at chains. It’s about staying fit.
Before the Alden resident discovered disc golf in 2009, his weight would go down in the summer and up in the winter. A golf course superintendent, he would be more active in the warm months. His normal weight was 210 to 215 pounds. If he was consistent about walking and exercising, he would lose 10 or so."

Vibram O-Lace Review — allthingsdiscgolf.com — Readability: "For the folks at Vibram Disc Golf, the O-Lace has certainly been a journey with many unexpected twists and turns. Earlier this year the first prototypes of the overstable distance driver hit local disc golf courses. Some loved the initial prototype, some thought it was actually too overstable. After many hours of testing and paragraphs of feedback, Vibram decided they needed to retool the O-Lace. For now, they didn’t want a disc that overstable. They needed to bring it back a little bit. Well, the retooling went a little too far and they created a disc that was too similar to its Lace cousin. After another batch of retooling, Vibram has created quite a nice disc that seems to be exactly what they were looking for."

Hyzer flipping, how is it done? - Disc Golf Course Review: "I am curious to hear yalls thoughts and techniques on hyzer flipping. My backhand is really getting to a good level now and with the right disc I think I may be able to hyzer flip something to dead straight. So my question is what angle do you release your hyzer and what disc are you using? oh and just for reference I can drive about 350 pretty consistently currently. Curious to hear thoughts on flipping mids and putters too"

There are a lot of mature oaks throughout the course and some elevation. Water comes into play on four holes. This is a relatively short course. The short tees will be "deuce or die" for most players. The long tees paired with the longer/more challenging baskets locations will proove to be considerably more challenging. "

Disc golf as a workout
Disc golf as a workout: "The sport of disc golf was invented in the mid 1970’s, and for most of the first 30 years was played by either people who were hardcore into disc golf, or by those who just thought it was a cool way to spend some time outside. Over the past 5 to 10 years there have become many more serious disc golfers, as well as many more who have discovered that the sport is an inexpensive, fun game, and a great way to get in or stay in shape."

Get more distance on your disc golf drives
Get more distance on your disc golf drives: "One thing that most disc golfers want to do is increase the distance of their drives. Throwing for extra long distance requires a type of shot that you don't use anywhere else. There are 2 techniques that will give you your maximum distance. The first is the hyzer flip, which if done correctly will give an S curve flight. The other is the flex shot, which is an anhyzer release that also makes the disc fly with an S curve flight."

You can try avoiding it, but the simple, unfortunate truth about sensor dust is that regardless of how careful you are, onto every sensor some dust will fall at some time. The closest you might come to avoiding it would be if you were to put a prime lens on your camera when it’s brand new and never change it or take it off. Ever. We all know that’s not about to happen, so dealing with dust becomes a critical part of regular camera maintenance. Part of eradicating any enemy, however, first requires some knowledge of where he’s hiding and how he got there."

Fort Mill’s Wysocki aiming to reclaim top spot in US disc golf this week at Winthrop | Sports | Rock Hill Herald Online
Fort Mill’s Wysocki aiming to reclaim top spot in US disc golf this week at Winthrop | Sports | Rock Hill Herald Online: "“Cha-ching” is the sound of Ricky Wysocki’s disc golf putts connecting successfully with the basket’s chain netting, but it’s also the sound he could hear if he pulls out a win in the U.S. Disc Golf Championship this week at Winthrop.
Wysocki, who lives in Fort Mill, is the local in a field of around 120 professional disc golfers vying to win the tournament and the accompanying $50,000 prize that fattens the victor’s wallet. Wysocki enters the event ranked second in the world behind Paul McBeth, who recently usurped the top spot. Throw in Wysocki’s narrow second place finish to Will Schusterick in last year’s tournament, and there is plenty of motivation to win this year."

Emailing and tweeting your scorecards have been removed until the bugs with iOS 7 have been fixed."

Soggy Saturday | Professional Disc Golf Association
Soggy Saturday | Professional Disc Golf Association: "As day two began at the 2013 United States Womens Disc Golf Championships, the autumn showers that are typical in the Northwest finally began, and umbrellas littered the courses in Portland, OR. The pools switched courses for today, as the Professional divisions played two rounds across the rolling hills and under the towering firs of Pier Park, and the Lady Amateurs went off in tee times, and were challenged by the length of the track at Blue Lake Regional Park for their only round of the day. The rain proved to be difficult for most, and the scores reflect the unfavorable playing conditions."
