1. For me it's the Racer. Flies likes a stable Shryke. Bombs, has a bit of stability.

2. Crave has been in my bag the longest. Used to be a max distance driver, now is my straight to turn fairway.

Scott is a legend and promotes his discs as much as possible. I'm curious as to why nobody sells them like the others. Seems they can only be found by going directly to his website and the one distributor. Just curious if there's a story or a reason why they're not as popular.

I find a lot of overlap in the 6.5-10 speed range in terms of stability, distance potential and actual course utility.

What do you bag in these ranges and how do you choose between similar speeds and stabilities?

Don't just list your discs, how did you build to your current lineup? How far you throw is helpful as well.

I've landed on kind of a split across speeds and stabilities, but still have some overlap to work out.

I have slower understable discs (6.5, 7 speed), traditional 7 speed for straight, and faster for moderate overstability and utility overstability (9).

Slower discs makes turning shots more predictable and hold longer with less fade and skip. Faster discs, especially a Roman or Thunderbird over a Teebird, has more utility in wind and reliable fade when throwing hard at a line/gap. They all end up with similar distance potential, save for the firebirds.

I also bag Trails, but they overlap in line and distance with my fairway and Wraiths.

I suck so bad at this. No matter what I do I can't get over 150 feet with maximum effort. I normally hit 120-130 feet average under ideal conditions. Nothing I do or try makes a difference. Standing still, slow walk up, fast walk up. If I happen to actually throw it flat and level and it starts to behave like the numbers suggeat it should... I am somewhat happy... but it doesn't ever change the distance it ultimately travels so clearly I am doing something very very wrong. What can I do??

I TD a lot of events and the difference between "When do hole assignments come out?" Vs "So I guess we just arent getting hole assignments?!" is huge. When you get off the course after weedwacking, painting, flagging, moving baskets etc, when I have been out driving for a few hours picking up raffle items, when I was double and triple checking the caddie books and layout maps, it totally sucks to get home and see a message implying you arent working or doing a good job. Tournament directors are going to make mistakes, and they want to know so they can fix them. I like questions, that tells me you are interested in the event. So ask me a question but dont make a passive aggressive statement buried in a question.

TL:DR Tournament directors are likely working hard. Be nice and respectful

My small town's private school PE teacher has asked me to come with her to teach sixteen 7th-12th graders how to play disc golf. What all should I cover while teaching them before anyone throws a disc? Do I go over backhand vs. forehand? Hyzer and anhyzer? The flight numbers and what they mean? Form and throwing? What should I go over when teaching these kids? Thanks!

A month ago I played a tournament as an am and placed within the payout line. During the tournament we were told that we would receive merchandise credit to Marshall St shortly after the end of the event. A project payout sheet was provided so I can confirm AMs were expected to receive something. As of now, I and I believe the other AMs, have still not received our credit. I have attempted to reach out over Disc Golf Scene and directly to the TD and he has ghosted everyone as far as I can tell. I tried reaching out to the PDGA directly to report the issue but I have not received any response from them either. As a last ditch effort I have come here to see if this has happened to anyone and what you did, or if anyone has any advice on what I can do. Thanks.

Back in the day I tried Pig for the Zone slot because people compared them as the same "slot" ....and disliked it. It was just not stable enough.

Years later I tried a5 with the understanding that it was straight and loved it as compliment to A2.

Still have a pig in glow bag. Tried it recently and I actually love it now. It's like A5 but with no glide in my eyes. Maybe a little slower.

Anyone else compared these two. Curious of your thoughts. Considering throwing the Pig again. I've always loved how they feel. Just couldn't forehand them before because I was treating them as more stable than they were.

Hey team,

I’m planning a trip for January where I’ll be driving around the South Island of NZ.

What are the must play courses that I need to add to my itinerary?

Thanks in advance.
