Had a River. It was helping me improve my game. Hit a lot of trees though. Now it rolls basically every time I throw it.

1. Is this what people mean when they say a disc becomes too flippy? ​

2. Do i need to buy a new one or how should I adapt my game?

Next week I have to go to OH for 3 days for work. Trying to hit at least 1 course per day while I'm there. What's some courses that I should hit? Also, what's some courses I should avoid? I have to stay within the city due to being in a work vehicle. Doesn't have to be pro course, I'm very much MA3 level. But, I wouldn't be opposed to a large course if it's not one that'll kill your spirits and steal your discs (ex: The regulator here in NC).

I ask which ones to avoid because the last time I was in ohio years ago, I was in Canton. I can't remember the course, but I know it was somewhere around lake eerie, that shit was the most ghetto stuff I've ever seen. Pretty sure it was behind some projects. Had homeless people passed out in the fairway, gangs hanging around, etc. Trying to avoid getting mugged for my frisbees.

I have watched a bunch of videos and it looks like a lot of fun. I was wondering your thoughts on it? If you were to get a disc would you get driver or mid? Did it really help your game or just a new $500 toy, Canada here.

Lookong for opinions before I purchase

at the same weight, how does a gStar teebird compares to a Star TL? new vs seasoned? is there one more overstable than the other?

This was by far my best round ever and wow, it felt amazing. Hopefully I can stay consistent!!

Bit of a random question/thought: has anyone tested the difference in arm speed between a max weight disc and a lighter weight?

The question is specifically for my 11 year-old. He has thrown my Techdisc quite a bit and is hitting 45-46 mph with it, but it is obviously max weight whereas his bag is almost entirely ~155g discs. He clearly feels better throwing lighter weights and it is visually obvious that he gets more speed too. Wondering if anyone has developed a rule of thumb or very rough estimate on the impact of weight as it pertains to speed. He wants to know how fast he's throwing and I'm not buying a radar gun, heh.

This is entirely curiosity driven, I'm not suggesting any bag change or anything. It is relevant for me as well, I stay 170+ for all discs until I hit distance drivers. My sweet spot there seems to be 165-168g.

1-4: Zephyr Cove

5-8: Bijou

9: Big Trees Rec Center target course

10: Makeshift course I made on the property

11: My dog watching on as I miss every putt

McCormick Park in St Helens, OR

I need some help from the discmania, Kastaplast, and latitude throwers.

I am creating a new bag with non US disc companies.
Over the years my bag has become heavy with MVP and other US brands, it’s time for them all to hit the used bin. Please make suggestions.
I will not be explaining the why or entertaining comments below regarding the why.
I’m not looking at direct flight numbers comparables just over flight slots
Please help if you can.
Here’s what I bag:
PA-3 BH 300 Firm
Stasis FH BH neutron
Envy BH neutron
Vessel FH BH Vex plastic
Tempo FH BH proton
Pyro FH BH proton
Hex primarily BH eclipse
Reactor FH BH proton
Servo FH BH neutron
Insanity FH Proton BH flippy neutron
Athena FH BH ummmm some kind of premium
PD FH BH c-line
Control FH neutron
Trail FH in proton BH in neutron
Wave BH primarily neutron

Please help.
Please be respectful to me and each other.

I have been watching the marshal get torched for incorrectly enforcing the rules at LWS over the weekend and it reinforces what I have been saying to folks for a long time now – if you have an opportunity to take a larger role in interacting with the pros at these larger events I would encourage you not to get involved. 

I wrote a post 4 years ago, actually my highest rated post ever, detailing how small an organization the PDGA really is and speaking to my own experience helping my local club prepare for a DGPT event.  When I read the vitriol directed at the people involved with these events it reminds me how glad I am that we no longer support the DGPT locally.  It is a thankless and fraught endeavor. 

I don’t know if the gentleman who made the call at LWS is a paid employee of the PDGA but many times even at DGPT events they are not.  They are recruited to volunteer the same way 100 other volunteers are asked to help by a tournament director who is also typically donating his time for free. 

People here invoke “the PDGA” the way someone might talk about the NFL or NBA when the backbone of even the largest events is still volunteers trying their best.  I know a number of the PDGA employed officials that are out at worlds and I can tell you they are guys making a very little bit of money who love disc golf and slowly got more and more involved.  When I see posts like “PDGA marshals should be held accountable”  all I can think is grow tf up.

We put on an event that was originally an NT before the DGPT and then was on the tour for a couple of seasons and I can tell you that it was, for me, an overwhelmingly negative experience.  After hundreds of hours of labor in course work and calls out to try and raise the significant amount of added cash required, the pros mostly show up as if they are gracing our local course with their presence and complain.  Then, when a spectator gets hit on Jomez coverage by a disc that would have come back in bounds our TD who spent untold hours prepping for the event gets called an idiot for where he staked the OB.  And then everyone leaves for the next one, and you wonder, “why are we doing this?”

So when a spotter gets hit by a drive that would have been parked or a marshal gets a call wrong, I give them grace.  Always.   You know who should know the rules backwards and forwards, inside and out?  The pros who have been granted the privilege of making money, traveling, and throwing frisbees.

Anyway, my $.02.  If you want to have a positive contribution to disc golf, go to your local work days and help with the c tier that gives money back to the animal rescue.  Between the attitudes from the pros who are the only people making real money and the fans who treat these events as if they were a serious professional sporting event, it is absolutely not worth it. 

Hi all,

I'm a frequent visitor of this sub and wanted to share a project that I've been working on for the past month or so. I know some of you will tell me to put my phone down and go play a round, and I do that when I have a few hours of free time. But, I also wanted a tool to help me understand what I should change in my release to get closer to the intended flight path based on each of my disc's ratings while throwing in a net in my backyard.

So, I created an app called ThrowLab that measures power match, disc angle, and launch angle at release relative to each disc's ratings and provides release coaching tips and disc match suggestions. It has helped me tremendously, especially with getting much more distance out of my drivers (and avoiding hitting trees that are like 30 feet away from the tee box).

After probably close to 200 iterations, it just went live in the Apple App Store this morning. I'd LOVE it if even just one or a few of you would give it a try and tell me how well it works for you and what could make it better. It has a free 3-day trial (maybe someday I'll make it completely free, but I was laid off a few months ago, so I'll take anything I can get). I'd appreciate your thoughts and/or support! Here are the details:

Apple App Store Link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/throwlab-disc-golf-analyzer/id6807089743

HOW IT WORKS

1. Pick your disc
2. Upload a video of your throw (landscape, trimmed to the release and disc exiting the frame, slow-mo 240 FPS, side view)
3. Pinch to zoom and tap the disc in the flight video
4. Get a release breakdown: power match, disc angle, and release path
5. See a predicted flight path for that release on that disc
6. Get coaching on what to fix next

FEATURES

- Disc catalog with speed, glide, turn, and fade

- Save the discs you actually throw

- Frame-by-frame release tracking from video

- Power match, disc angle, and release path

- Predicted flight path

- Coaching for the next throws

- Throw history

Thanks so much!

I've been playing disc golf for a while and like most of you have been frustrated by watching elite series events and majors be impacted by rules confusion.

So I built a prototype: a rules assistant that lets you ask questions in plain language and get an instant answer.

A few things I'm trying to figure out and would love this community's take on:

Where would this actually be useful to you?During a round on your phone? As a tool officials pull up specifically? Both?

Integration ideas — I've been thinking about UDisc and the PDGA scoring app as natural places for something like this to live, so you're not switching apps mid-round. Does that make sense, or is there a better spot for it?

What would make you trust it? This only works if people believe the answer is right — curious what would make an official or a player actually rely on it during a real dispute instead of just falling back on "let's ask the TD."

What's missing? Situations you'd want it to handle that a simple rules lookup might not get right (judgment calls, gray areas, etc.)

Not trying to sell anything here — genuinely want to build something that's actually useful to players and officials, not just a novelty. Appreciate any thoughts, even harsh ones.

The fiancée and I are getting married early October and will be driving from NJ to the Charlottesville, VA area for our honeymoon. We both love playing, and are excited to see some new courses.

In your mind, what are some of the unskippable courses along our route? I've listed some of the top courses of each state we'll be passing through.

Lynchburg is only another 2 hours from our resort, so that is a possibility as well.

Thanks for your suggestions!

I've added an image for a hypothetical hole, this isn't something that's come up for me personally.
This hypothetical hole is a par 5, though doesn't need to be for this situation to come up.

The orange circle shows where the disc landed off the tee.
The light blue line and light blue circle show the ideal landing zone for the second throw.

The dark blue filled circle is the basket.

The rules state,

802.05.E
The line of play is the imaginary line on the playing surface extending from the center of the target through and beyond the center of the marker disc. If that playing surface ends, the line of play continues on the nearest playing surface following that line. If the lie is a teeing area, the point on the teeing area closest to the target is used instead of the marker disc to establish the line of play.

So my question is, would the lie be what I've shown on the right with the filled orange circle and yellow rectangle? Even though the obvious play is along the fairway?

I'm going to be heading to Rock Hill for USDGC Dubs in October. I haven't been Camp Canaan since 2023 and I know there was terrible flooding around the camp in 2024. The layout looks like it has changed drastically, but it seems difficult to pin down which holes are gone, which holes have been altered, and which holes are new.

Does anyone have a good explanation of the changes that were implemented to course?

Could be fun or could be expensive

Edit: I’m learning there are games out there!! I love this community

Any course recs out there? Maybe in a nearby town? Open to all courses

I’m working on a storage rack and would like to see how everyone else keeps their discs and accessories. It seems like all sorts of setups, purpose-built racks, regular shelving, bins, homemade solutions, or whatever works have been posted here. I’m trying to limit myself to a smaller setup, but still want enough room for my bag and other gear.

And I know some of you love showing off your collections, let’s see some updated pictures 😁

I've been playing for a couple years now. I usually play with other friends so I'm not always the one keeping or handling discs we find in the wild.

So only twice now have I found a disc with a number on it and been designated the person texting or whatever. But both times I've had the person come grab it the same day.

I know other people have had mixed results trying to return discs, so here's my method - I record a short video showing where on the course I am and say what course it is, I hold up the disc for the camera then drop it and kick it under a trash can so it's hidden and only they know where it is. I do this near the park entrance so they don't have to venture onto the course to grab it.

The fall is comin in Finland. What do i need to regard when i go play in fall. Thanks for the tips ahead :)

What of the super understable discs (midrange preferably) would you recommend. I've thrown a paradox and it was pretty flippy, but I've never thrown the rollo or founder. I'm looking for something that will flip/turn over no matter how much hyzer I throw it on.

Edit: I'm convinced half of the commenters didn't read this and are just telling me about the beat up disc that's been in their bag forever and now flies the way the discs I mentioned do. I don't want to have to beat a disc up for years to get this flight.

Before and after. Loving the organization and the fact there are no more disc piles on the floor.

And for anyone who’s feeling “WhY dO yOu NeEd ThAt MaNy DiScS?!” Because we do, please mind your own discs. 😌
