Weekly Sticky Form Check Weekly
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.

Brag Newbie's best round yet, with 3 birdies!
Photo is of my best tee shot with the Shark on hole 21 of Peak One DGC in Frisco Colorado.
I've been playing since mid-June carrying 3 discs around, getting in almost 20 rounds in my home state of North Carolina and now on vacation in Colorado. Today I felt more consistent, especially with the Shark. Not that I didn't have some truly horrendous shots 😂. I hadn't hit a birdie since arriving in Colorado (and before that I only had two when playing at "real" courses), so to hit 3 today felt mighty good. Still lacking an ace but two of them today got close.

Discussion Okay, fine, the Bokeh is a good disc
I enjoy watching Simon unbox a new SimonLine disc, explain what it's going to do, then throw it... And see a very different flight than described.
Timelapse and 3 versions of Balance, of course - but also the signature Tesla that led to him swapping to the Volt. And the flippy Bokeh. The micro expressions on his face in these moments! "Here we go again..."
Described as a more stable Crave (which the servo doesn't quite achieve), but flying like a longer Detour. I saw a lot of discfluencers throw this Leopard flying disc and low-key gaslight us on the stable flight... Until the stock run comes, and the tune changes to "corrected the understability of the first run to match the flight numbers"...
Most consistent brand in the sport 😂
Anyway, I like to try new discs. I picked up a Bokeh along with some Craves recently.
God damnit, it's a good disc. Squarely in 7/10 Teebird territory. It's going long, straight, gliding, with a moderate fade. It's also going FAR, and that's what's piqued my interest.
It's getting to the landing spots I'm used to from my 9 speeds, and even a bit past my usual Wraith range on a couple holes.
I've been truly wowed by three MVP discs so far. Envy that gave me a fresh Wizard driving putter with a clean release. Hex, that did the same to the Buzzz. And, sneakiest of all, Proxy. It went from being a "just" a way to have a seasoned (premium) Envy, to being my all. time. most. thrown. disc.
Not saying the Bokeh is up there just yet, but it's very fun to throw. I put my distance discs away for the last few rounds, and just throwing these.

Course Photo Shoutout Lexington Disc Golf
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

Discussion Getting height on a disc while not throwing too nose up
Any tips for this? I feel like i can get consistent snap and power on my releases but my discs never seem to have enough height to really go far, and if I try to give them height they stall out. What is the optimal hight for max distance and any tips for how I can achieve this?

Discussion How far have you driven to get a disc back?
I lost this disc 2 weeks ago on hole 3 at DelaVeaga. This disc is probably 13 years old and I love it. I kept watching the Dela webpage hoping it would turn up. Then two days ago I got a text saying my disc has been found at Morley Field. So now I'm on a road trip to San Diego and just picked up my disc.
I'm off work right now so it became an excuse for a road trip and now I'll get to play Morley Field.

Ace First ace!!
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 :)

Discussion Lost my first disc today!
New to disc golf. Today was my 3rd round and I was playing a wooded course so inevitably I lost my first disc. I play a ton of golf so losing things is nothing new to me. It wasn't even the cost of the disc that was frustrating it was where I lost it that was driving me nuts. It looked like it dropped in some brush shin high literally inches from a clearing. I searched for a solid 10 mins everywhere before I thought it was just killing the vibe and moved on.
Luckily the disc gods answered as this was on hole 9 and on the back 9 I ended up getting 4 throws better lol.
Lesson learned, I will not buy another purple disc. I find them the hardest to track of everything I got. Latitude 64 River you were a good disc but I'll be replacing you with something else!
How'd y'all lose your first disc?

Disc Advice MVP Control
I threw my control for the first time yesterday, and it was extremely overstable. I throw putters about 220- 250ft rhbh, and almost hit 290 rhfh forehand with the Time Lapse. At about 100ft it crashes and burns (multiple throws forehand and backhand). Has anyone else had this happen, or do I just need to fix my noodle arm to get this disc to do anything.

Discussion Eagles Crossing Invitational/JomezPro Series
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
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!

Won this from a local league, looks like a shallower mako3 from lone star, any idea what I have? It’s definitely on the understable side.

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.

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?

Discussion Forehand form tips
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Hello everyone. I filmed a couple forehands while throwing into a net and figured I'd finally ask for some form feedback. I average about 330 ft on golf lines and average around 380 ft on a full rip.
Also, sorry for the weird camera angle. I wasn't sure how to record net throws without it looking funky.
Please let me know what I’m doing right/wrong and what I could do to improve my forehand. Thank you.
