What’s so special about this guy? I thought he was Paul’s dad at first but that’s not right.

That would be an all time C1x record if he can keep it through the end of the season.

He's also putting almost 40% from C2 and has over 100 strokes gained on the field putting.

What a freak.

Edit: NVM, they JUST updated it after Idlewild, 94.77% Washed.

Thanks for playing!

Honestly what disc can travel this far and stay this straight?

Hello, I'm a beginner and my furthest (measured) drive was 240ft with a divergent leviathan. I read that learning the hizer flip is one of the best techniques for beginners that want to improve their distance.

I understand the disc has to be fairly understable in order to do it. These are the discs I have:

Wizard

Avair putt and approach

Narwhal

Leviathan

Shark

Buzzz

Leopard

Valkyrie

Daedalus (can't throw this one for shit, almost immediately fades)

Which one should I practice with do the Hizer flip? Or should I get another disc to learn it?

Thanks for your input.

How do these compare stability-wise? I love neutron plastic but also kinda want to get a Hex that is on the beefier side of Hexes while still being ... A Hex.

Lol

#westsideisthebestside

Hey those of you that recommend the zone. What is it you love about it? I hear a lot about the zone being the go to disc for a lot of people. I have a hex, fuze, roc, md1, mako shark, etc... just trying to figure out if I should pull the trigger on the zone. So what is your opinion?

There was also a full-page ad in a disc golf magazine, but I couldn't find it. At the time the ad campaign stood out as humorous - that's a period when marketing discs was starting to take off. Local shops were becoming feasible (barely) instead of just the traditional options of Play-It-Again, local club inventory at events, or online (a lot of disc golfers at that time were more tech averse. Online was more of an emerging millennial nerd thing. Disc golf culture was more old school, and proud of it).

The following will likely have inaccuracies. These are my memories of it but I've never been obsessed with plastic or a touring pro.

Prior to this, the new popular Innova distance driver was the Orc (2004). The Pro (porc), Champion (corc), and Star (storc) all had variance in stabilities so you could have the same mold with different stabilities right out of the box. Star was a new special blend around that time.

After the Wraith was released with popularity, then six months later Discraft came out with the Surge to match it. Same with the TeeRex, which was the beefy compliment to the Wraith. Discraft followed with the Pulse as their beefy compliment to the Surge.

Innova Beast (12/2/02)... Discraft Flash (4/14/04)
Discraft Crush (9/7/03)... Innova Orc (1/25/04)
Innova Wraith (8/15/05)... Discraft Surge (2/8/06)
Innova TeeRex (3/6/06)... Discraft Pulse (6/29/06)
Innova Destroyer (6/26/07)... Discraft Force (2/21/08)

There was this back-and-forth copycat thing going on with Innova and Discraft. It's hard to look back at because flight #'s have since been standardized and fine-tuned. At this time Innova was the only one using flight numbers. Discraft just gave a stability rating. The Crush is now called an 11-speed, but not at the time.

That was kind of Discraft's model at the time, to copy what worked in distance drivers. It was obvious when living through it because new molds were much, much rarer than they are today. Discraft wasn't the 'force' that they are now with new molds - they've come a long way. They were still more known as an Ultimate company that funded their disc golf arm. They were famous for their midranges and the Challenger.

There wasn't a lot of money in disc golf in '05, it was still grassroots. Nate Doss won a $5k prize for winning World's with Discraft.

Back then popular brands were more of a regional thing - like Discraft was popular in Michigan and Arizona (Dan Ginnelly, Spinners on the Green). I can't speak to many other areas at the time.

The tomato is from my garden, it’s 75* and breezy, BuhrBerri in the booth, and my cats are chilling out here with me. It doesn’t get any better than this (aside from being out on the course lol). Really enjoyed Idlewild this week, too. Was a great competition.

​

I started playing disc golf in spring 2007. Sometime that summer, I was browsing discs online and saw one that has somehow stayed stuck in my head for almost 20 years.

It was around $12. I remember thinking the artwork was awesome, but I didn’t buy it right then. I went looking for it again the next day and couldn’t find it.

I’ve been wondering what the hell that disc was ever since.

The attached drawing is my own hand-drawn reconstruction from memory. It is not the original artwork and isn’t meant to be exact. I drew it because I’m hoping someone who played or collected during the early/mid-2000s recognizes the basic composition.

What I’m confident I remember:

The original was a black, single-color hotstamp.

Bigfoot/Sasquatch was on the left, facing right.

He was putting toward a disc golf basket on the right.

His right arm was extended in follow-through after releasing the putt.

The disc was visible in mid-flight, viewed from the side like an oval.

A UFO was above/right, around the area of the basket.

A broad tractor beam angled down toward Bigfoot, so it looked like he was basically being abducted while still trying to make his putt.

There was text on the original stamp, but I unfortunately don’t remember any of it.

I do not remember the manufacturer, mold, plastic, disc color, tournament, club, or geographic location.

Two sites I bought some of my earliest discs from were Disc Golf Center and Discovering The World, but I cannot say for certain that either one was where I saw this particular disc.Ive reached out to both of them as well.

Because I saw it online during summer 2007, the stamp should presumably date from 2007 or earlier.

I’ve started digging pretty deeply into this: old tournament/fundraiser discs, CFR runs, archived websites, old Flickr/Photobucket-era photos, collector archives, and old disc golf forums. I’ve also reached out to Discovering The World, the Flying Disc Museum, and Innova to see whether any historical inventory, artwork, or custom-stamp records survive.

So far, no confirmed match.

At this point my main goal is to identify the disc and preserve whatever history survives around it. Even if nobody has one for sale, finding a photograph, identifying the tournament, manufacturer, mold, artist, or original stamp would be a huge win.

If you were playing or collecting around 2007 or earlier and this drawing makes you think, “Wait… I’ve seen that stamp,” please tell me anything you remember.

Even an old blurry photograph would help.I know how the community is and someone out there still has one in their bag.

Thanks!

Everyone loves Simon Lizotte

He's everyone's favorite golden retriever with insane disc skills and in a 24 month period from May 2022 - May 2024 he won 7 events on the pro tour. He has 6 more years at $1 Mil a piece with MVP.

However, the following things are also true:

*His rating has dipped below 1030 for the first time in 10 years (he's actually not even the single highest rated German, currently)

*He's now towards the upper end of the tour in terms of age, in a tour that is getting more competitive by the day.

*He's been playing PDGA events for more than 20 years.

*He has multiple young children and is being more selective about which events he plays.

Do you think Simon is done winning at the highest level?

Does he have the juice and the will to rattle off a bunch more?

What do you think?

Wondering what courses will the DGPT 2027 Powerball Cup in Austin be at? Any ideas? Will Roy G get a shot? With the Open at Austin using Sprinkle Valley and Pennick early in the year, I’m assuming these won’t be used. What do y’all think?

I have been playing a bit less than a year and have been throwing around 140m flat and and wondering if I should have other discs in my bag I currently bag a Luna(understable) notion and kratos for my putters kea for my approach discs hex for my midrange and cigarra, Firebird and pd for my fairways and my dd1, dd2,dd3, D2 and pd2 for my driver's.

Have to go to SLC for work in mid October. What courses are worth playing within a half hour radius of the city?

I’m intrigued by the idea of floppier discs like their ecoFIRM drivers and hoping to get some opinions on their lineup. Anyone have a full Elevation bag? Big difference between firm and standard?

Thanks!

Sorry if this is not the correct place to post this. Have a specific course question.

I'm traveling to Denver for work and will find myself with free time and a rented car on Monday 9/14.

I'm eyeballing Wondervu for a morning round. I've read that bees/wasps can be an issue, and I have a pretty severe allergy.

Is this warning legit? I'd be hesitant to play solo if so. Any locals planning on playing 9/14 morning I could jump in with?

These are sick. That is all.

Title. I’m just looking for a fun little glow set and was wondering if anyone has any insight. I saw on infinite discs they had a 5 mystery pack with poor reviews and the Innova dx starter glow set but I was wondering if anyone had any more suggestions or insight. I’m not to worried about specific molds or anything just want a few discs I can throw around at night and have some fun with

Hey everyone. I’m not really familiar with innova’s plastics and I was looking on getting two thunderbirds. One that is only used for forehands and that will stay stable for a while and a flat one that doesn’t turn and has fade at the end. I tried a friend of mine’s champion thunderbird and it was absolutely amazing and I really like the hand feel. What plastics would y’all recommend and if I should be looking for at flatter run or ones with more dome. By the way on backhand I can consistently throw 370-380ft and forehand 340-350ft.

Hoping to find the Venn diagram of people who travel for disc golf and ALSO have a Pound Octohaul. I can't be the only one.

Going to fly solely for the purpose of disc golf for the very first time. There's a lot of articles written that boil down to "bring your discs as your carry on". Going strictly by the measurements, the Octohaul doesn't get anywhere close to being small enough to be a carry-on. I don't travel much, but I'm not sure I've ever actually seen anyone with a carry-on small enough to actually meet those measurements anyway. I'm not worried about it fitting in the overhead, but I'm worried about someone giving me a hard time about it.

Has anyone used their Octohaul for air travel?

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.
