mobile app review?

I've been using Anki Mac on and off for a while for trivia memorization. I use my computer periodically, so I won't touch Anki for weeks sometimes. I'd like to know more about the iOS Anki app before jumping in, the 25$ price tag is a hurdle, especially because I'm totally unfamiliar with the AnkiWeb system: if the app is a one time purchase, how are they paying for the long term server use? How is the app UI in general, are there hiccups to using it I might not expect from desktop use?

over-buy valkyrie or heat

Last year I bought 10 misprint putters so I could practice throwing the same disc 10 times in a row(yes, I did injure myself). I want to do the same thing this year with a driver (minus the injury). Mid-term I'm working on max-distance, just under 300 now, but short term I want to work on stand-still consistency at ~250 ft.

The parameters are: a disc I already have, 8-10 speed, stable to under, cheap versions available. The price contenders: heat, valkyrie, archangel, vulture, wraith. Wraith and vulture are out because they're over stable; archangel I always push over when I try to throw hard.

Here's the meta question: as you improve your throwing, when do you start looking at more stable discs for distance?

Heat: one of the discs I've throw max distance (280). The others are Jade, Monarch, Sapphire. Reason to choose: real chance to push to max distance. Cons: unstable, am I limiting myself by going with the easier disc?

Valkyrie: I just started throwing this, I'm not sure what distance I've maxed it to. I like how stable it flies. The fields I do field work in are often windy, I could reasonably throw it even in the wind. Con: I probably won't max distance with it.

If it's not clear, this is really a strategy question: should I perfect the noodle-arm under-stable drive, or get faster and learn how to throw a more stable disc. (please don't just read the flight numbers back to me). thanks

Drive Mantra

Anyone have a drive matra? Something you say each time in the same way during or before a drive off the tee-pad? I realized there's so many little things I'm trying to track that it can get kind of confusing. I was thinking if I had a mental check list to go through at every drive, I could memorize it, and then it would become second nature and I could tweak it as I adjust drive form over time.

I kind of already do this: platter angle, torso tilt, rear extension, pocket tuck... but sometimes I'll add something, or do it in a different order. I bet I'll get better results by formalizing it a bit. This is less: this will make me throw further; and more: this will help reduce fuck-ups.
