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?"

BH Release Point snap question - Disc Golf Course Review

BH Release Point snap question - Disc Golf Course Review: "Have a question about the release point and what I should be doing the second beforehand.

Have watched a bunch of videos of pros and tournaments. Sometimes it is hard to stop the video close to someone's release point, but it look like most pros release the disc somewhere within a foot past their body. "

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?"

Course in Jeopardy! Animal Shelter being built on existing Disc Golf Course! - Page 2 - Disc Golf Course Review

Course in Jeopardy! Animal Shelter being built on existing Disc Golf Course! - Page 2 - Disc Golf Course Review: "Seems you are screwed. Animal shelters are usually seen as public works or service. Disc golf only hope to be seen as public recreation. A general cry to the public would also likely see an overwhelming outcry for the poor underweight puppies and kittens the shelter would show. Thankfully the community has it's priorities straight, although it's sad to lose Deer Lick Park disc golf course."
