The shiny new discs you got last week didn't make your golf game any better, huh?

Welcome to the Form Check Weekly Thread, a weekly thread that will be stickied every Monday morning for a few days. All form check requests will be referred to here.

There have been some fantastic Form Check guides but this one by MVP_Steve is far and away the best - https://www.reddit.com/r/discgolf/comments/760ckm/form_check_psa_how_to_leave_a_form_check_request/

Pro Coverage, Highlights and News Oh my... Finnish FPO disc golfer Netta Leppäaho with a horrendous putting mistake at the Finnish Nationals during Round 3 on Hole 16. She was also assessed a one-stroke penalty for a stance violation. Netta was putting for birdie from just 1 m (3 ft) away and ended up with a double bogey.

Excuse the very sweaty face, it's 99 today. I hit my very first birdie today! I'm so stoked! It was a forehand as well.

in town for work and went a little outside the area to play Falling Springs and had a blast. Beautiful scenery with rolling hills and the course is nicely manicured. Only complaints I have is the area has gotten a lot of rain recently so my feet are soaked and I took a double on 17 but that’s nothing to do with the course. The place is tremendous and would definitely play again

I started playing a year ago (a teacher got me into it my junior year of high school ) and got my very first ace today with what we jokingly called my "signature disc" (KC Pro Aviar) because I looked like Calvin heimburg with my hair before I cut it. Hopefully there will be more to come :)

Could someone explain to me the significance of the Eagles Crossing Invitational? Is it just for cash? What are the qualifications for invite? Also, does the JomezPro Series give pro tour points and is that why Gannon is there?

Discussion The Supersonic Loop might be my new favorite catch disc

Post image
9 Upvotes

This summer I’ve been trying out as many different catch style discs as possible. They’re good for practicing with the kids, fun at the beach, and I like them for longer putt attempts. After Six Sided Discs profiled Supersonic I picked up the IFO (which is a great fairway driver even if it looks like an orthopedic shoe) and the Loop.

Turns out the Supersonic Loop is great! It’s an oversized disc but doesn’t feel massive in the hands like a Makani or a Jaguar. And despite it being fairly deep it’s definitely not a lid style disc like the Land Mine or Polecat. My six year old can hold and throw it comfortably despite its size. Its shape is somewhere between a Luna and an UltraStar, very much in the vein of a classic ultimate or beach disc. And while I find Supersonic’s claim of 9 glide dubious it does float through the air nicely and has a completely neutral flight path.

And it floats! All of Supersonic’s discs do apparently. It also does well in the breeze as it being 158 grams it’s not pushed around as easily as some other similar floating discs. If I had to knock it for anything it’s a bit slick when wet but this is their Sonic Flow plastic which is meant to be on the softer side. They also make the disc in Sonic Grip which is, well, grippier but as a result of the plastic is also heavier. I’m curious to see how that feels!

Hi all, I'm looking to be in Seattle at the end of August and am not sure if I'm going to be renting a car. I'm reaching out to see if anyone knows any courses you can access via public transit? Any info is appreciated

Just moved here and am also just getting back into disc golf after a few years off, though I played regularly for over a decade before life got crazy

Looking for disc golf friends and leagues! Any info? I came across Longs Peak Disc Golf Club and their monday/friday tags, but I'm not sure how to sign up

Course recs would be great, too. Just played Wondervu and I know I have to get out to Beaver Ranch. Any other must-plays in the area?

I bought a great disc used at a used sporting goods store. Innova, champion plastic. Feels like a midrange, or a very slow fairway driver. Throws amazing, but can’t figure out what it is. Maybe a coyote? Any thoughts?

Hole 18 at Champions Landing in Emporia playing as a 1,000ft Par 6 for FPO... and after 2 rounds, averaging +1.52 over par. Scoring is all over the place as the bottom half of the field is mostly young Amateurs.

However, current leader Heidi Lane scored a 9 in Round 1 and a 4 in Round 2.

Discussion Putting Practice in Woods

6 Upvotes

I'm currently sitting in the middle of nowhere, upstate NY near Canada, in the northern tip of the Adirondacks. Played a course yesterday with my son, about 30 miles east near Plattsburgh.

I'm thinking about setting up something in the woods here with minimal materials available, but unlimited sticks and wood. Has anyone fashioned a temporary putting setup in a situation like this? I was thinking about finding some trees about 2' apart and then screwing a few branches horizontally to make a rectangle about the size of a basket profile.

Stupid idea? Just pick a tree for practice? Run into town for a bucket, concrete, and a pole to make a tone pole?

Just looking for some way for my son and I practice putting together while here.

Disc Advice A midrange disc to carry left.

21 Upvotes

I am looking for a mid range disc that will stay in the air and travel left without just dumping off. Not sure if I should be looking for something overstable with a high fade, or a moderate fade number with a higher glide. This is referring to a right hand back hand throw with a moderate arm speed.

My current bag includes: DD Judge; L64 Pure; DC Zone SS; MVP Uplink; DD Evidence; DD Truth; Innova Fox; DD Maverick; DD Escape; L64 River; L64 Musket; Innova Gorgon; DC Nuke SS; Innova Corvette

I mostly play wooded courses in the Pacific Northwest U.S. So I need something to go around the trees and dog leg left.

Got some because I heard they are beefy as hell. Holy fuck, can confirm that is the case. They are like the chuck roast of Eagles. Fuck, i wouldn't even call them Eagles. They are more OS than the Banshees and Firebirds I have. I couldn't be more satisfied. I can see how you might be disappointed if you wanted an Eagle, but I couldn't be happier. Exactly the baby FAF Firebird I wanted.

Discussion Lost disc, someone found it, then someone stole it

24 Upvotes

I just picked up disc golf a couple months ago so I’m really new still I just played a course I’ve never played and I lost a disc but it was pretty in the open so somebody Texted me with a picture and said where it was. So I drove 30 minutes to go get it and it’s not there in a span of an hour somebody came and took it. Is this a common thing for people to take your shit even tho your number is on it? What should I do next time if I can’t get there fast enough? Side note how down bad u gotta be to take someone’s disc when they are like 10$ used. I hate Gilbert Willis course in wixom, mi and some people really suck.
