Comment on Gap Analysis: The science and art of navigating trees in disc golf by ToneRay

ToneRay — Tue, 07 May 2013 21:32:12 +0000

Vote: In Example 3, I guess I’d still opt for the right-side hyzer (RHBH) – low, with a “skip” (C-gap). There’s the least obstacles once you shoot the gap, and with lots of hyzer your disc becomes “thinner”.
Center is probably out due to the trees crowding near the basket.
And even though I’m getting adept at anhyzers (my home course is RHFH-friendly), still a little too much stuff on the way to the basket following the initial gap.

Comment on Product review: DGA Elite Shield Disc Golf Bag by Anthony

Anthony — Fri, 01 Mar 2013 02:38:03 +0000

I Have been using my Elite Shield for a little over a year now and it has held up amazingly well. I play in Southern Louisiana which means morning rounds are wet with humidity. I don’t use a stool so the bag is always on the ground too. I carry 20 Discs and usually stuff a Hoodie in the big side pocket so it pushed quite often. No stress on the strap areas or the bottom of the bag. To get 2 putters in your front pocket, Slide your putter in 1st then put 2 drivers in with it when you put it up after a round. I did this for one night and its perfect. The quality of this bag for the money is 2nd to none. Great Review!

Comment on New disc review & giveaway: Say hello and so LONG to the Vibram Lace by Tom Keagy

Tom Keagy — Wed, 20 Feb 2013 13:16:18 +0000

I discovered Vibram this year. I would drive all the way home if I forgot my Trak. Best fairway driver ever. So I was looking forward to receiving my Lace in the Mail. While at a club party one of the better throwers and plastic experts said he got two and called them meathooks. I was not happy to hear that. what I found was that it did have more fade. the more I worked with it I got it to glide the better. So I don’t power it unless I have the wind to get the s curve.

Comment on PDGA vs. USGA membership: One way the barrier to entry is higher in disc golf than in ball golf by Barry Fischer

Barry Fischer — Tue, 19 Feb 2013 03:48:35 +0000

My PDGA #706 just says I am older but still loving it. When I first joined it was only so I could play in a tournament. I played several made a few bucks but life happens. I didn’t play any for many, many years, maybe 25+. Now I wanted to join again and wanted to play in some tournaments but not in the Pro division. I wanted to play with guys my age and in the Am division. So, I signed up for the Am division. I petitioned the PDGA to give me AM status. They said if hadn’t played for several years that could happen. I’ll let you know what they decide. I am playing in the Am division and having fun.

There are still things the Lace can’t do. It can’t automatically give weak throwers like me more arm speed by itself. Next year I’ll be able to handle the Lace though.. I love its feel.
