Just a Frisbee? No, each disc design has unique flight characteristics, and depending on how, and how well they are thrown, is what determines your flight, Straight at the pin? Almost never.
What the Heck Do You Hippies Mean?
RHBH: Right hand, backhand throw. This is the standard throw used by most right-handers.
RHFH: Right hand, forehand throw
LHBH: Left hand, backhand throw
LHFH: Left hand, forehand throw
Hyzer: Advanced throw with disc tilted right side high
Flat: Standard throw.
AnHyzer: Advanced throw with disc tilted left side high
In a RHBH throw, the disc spins clockwise, and no matter what the design, typically it will turn over and fall to the Left. This is dependent on two things, disc design, and type of throw.
These are the four mystery numbers that many manufacturers print on their discs.
Disc Design. Here are the four components of disc design and why:
Speed (1 to 14): Speed is the rate at which a disc can travel through the air. Speed 14 distance drivers are the fastest, having the PDGA maximum legal wing width. Faster discs cut into the wind with less effort and are best when throwing up wind. Slower discs take more power to throw upwind, but they’re easier to throw more accurately and may actually go farther downwind. High speed discs are not recommended for beginners as they require more power to fly properly.
Glide (1 to 7): Glide describes the discs ability to maintain lift during flight. Discs with more glide are best for new players, and for producing maximum distance. Beginners wanting more distance should choose discs with more glide. Discs with less glide are more accurate in high wind situations.
Turn ( -5 to +1): High Speed Turn is the tendency of a disc to turn over or bank to the right (for RHBH throws) during the initial part of the flight. A disc with a +1 rating is most resistant to turning over, while a -5 rating will turn the most. Discs rated -3 to -5 make good roller discs. Discs with less turn are more accurate in the wind. Discs with more turn are easier to throw for beginners.
Fade (0 to 5): Low Speed Fade is the disc’s tendency to hook left (for RHBH throws) at the end of the flight. A disc rated 0 will finish straightest, while a disc rated 5 will hook hard at the end of the flight. High fade discs are usually used for spike and skip shots.
Here’s where the info comes from, they say it better than me,
Here are some examples of different types of discs:
MVP Discs Wave driver with stats 11, 5,-2, 2.
This is the flight chart for the Wave disc pictured above.
Vector midrange (5,4,0,1) with flight chart inset. Notice how much more convergent the flight paths are for high-power throws compared with the Wave disc.
Atom putter (3,3,0,1). Straight and flat.
Form. This is tough one, Much like ball golf, weight transfer is critical, and in disc golf if you do it wrong, you can hurt yourself…
Throw in a straight line, not a roundhouse throw, but straight across your body, with a wrist flick at the end, not tough guy, but smooth. My style is Horrid, but these guys can help you: Simon Lizotte, and Danny Lindahl whose motto is “slow is smooth, smooth is far.”
Gear! Oh goody, my favorite part. I carry fifteen different discs right now, and with multiple putters, it’s more like twenty, add a bag, towels and and a small ice chest, it adds up. They sell “pro” carts but not me, I did this:
Rigs of this size are not uncommon on the course. Baby strollers designed for jogging are also popular among disc golfers.
And got one of these for practice. While this may be overkill, I’m an overkill kind of guy.
An all-metal disc golf target or basket. You finish the hole when you putt-in to one of these.
You can play this game well with only one disc and have fun. A good starter disc is the Innova Wombat-3 (5, 6, -1, 0); although designed as a midrange the Wombat is forgiving for drives and competent for putts. I’m nuts, but you don’t have to be, grab a disc and have some fun!
Tonio! Thank you!
You’re welcome. Thanks for the articles. And for letting me abuse you in the alt-text.
Ohhh the alt text, LARF!
I do Not like Shiny Discs, I swear!
The alt-text is appreciated. ??
I had a friend who would only play with a regular frisbee. He always beat everyone. I always wondered if how much he might improve if he went to dedicated discs. But I guess he didn’t need to since he always kicked our asses.
against a disc, we would crush him…
Seems like cheating. Regular frisbees for you all.
My discs will hurt you, they fly fast, friisbees are the ghey,
All the cool kids had aerobies…
PDGA rules, bro. Yes, there really is such a thing. Gods help us.
The more an activity is populated by rules lawyers and loophole seekers, the longer the rulebook gets.
I’m the worst sort of recreational DGer. I used to keep score but I haven’t for a couple of years because I play infrequently, badly and with similarly-situated players. We are very forgiving about rules, and are willing to not see certain bad throws, particularly tee offs.
Dude… [coughs]
^yep, the Rules exist, but not required
Gamers gonna game.
That’s what everyone at the course always said . . . he made a lot of money off of people betting against him.
A hunting buddy of mine won his gun club’s sporting clays tourney with an old 870. He was a talented redneck who loved to hunt and despised most of the guys in the club. He had other guns, but he enjoyed pissing everyone off.
He sounds like my kind of guy. I won the last three poker nights. I suckered some people to buy back in last time by getting really drunk. They thought it would hurt my game. Suckers. I live half my life drunk.
I always shoot my Mossberg 500 at the sporting clay range . . . at least until it fell out of the boar.
Your Mossberg was in a boar? I’m no hunter but you may be doing it wrong.
That’s not where you keep yours?
The wind was down today, so I played 36 holes, a great time, good, long shots, then I met up with a cool guy, Turns out He’s a Pro, then we hooked up with this Hippie kid who was Enormous, Long drives, and nailed his putts every time. After 18 holes with the Big boys, we all decided to go play Hualapai Mt. South of Kingman tomorrow, 6500’ elevation, expecting snow on the ground, how cool is that for March in AZ? , Then Maybe Firefighters Park in downtown Kingman, Road Trip!
Whoa, I can’t imagine playing at 6,500 feet. Both for different flight characteristics and my own respiration.
I keep forgetting I live at 500′ ASL, easy on the weed I suppose,
So complicated….
I must resist…
*fights urge to half-ass learn one more skill*
it’s easy, grab a Wombat and go play……..
I saw a wombat walking on a leash at the Australia zoo. Most adorable thing I’ve ever seen.
Fun fact. A group of Wombats is a Wisdom.
That is fun. A not so fun fact: you can’t import wombats to the USA. I know, because I tried.
Who decides these things?!?
*shrugs*
IDK. Murder of Crows is probably the best one though.
What’s a group of Bernie Bots called?
Old joke – What do you call two crows on a fence?
An Attempted Murder.
Incels.
An unkindness of ravens.
Never more than a dozen, though.
The group of people that decides these things is called a congress of assholes. Fun Fact!
A fucktard?
Innova, and you will Comply!
I’ll take you out, Scruffy. I’ve got extra discs. I’ll even let you use my Wombat.
These euphemisms are confusing.
Aw…..go fly a kite!
(wait- you do that too)
HEY YUFUS!
Sup! mein froind!
Excellent article, Yusef! You touched on a few things I already knew and went into the mechanics of the swing that highlights why I so often fail. A friend once described my tee shot as: A guy angrily pulling the cord on a push mower he knows has a flooded carb but is too stubborn to give it a rest.
The fact I’m naturally a southpaw yet play righthanded probably doesn’t help.
I’m ambidextrous and can write, throw a football and baseball righthanded, but it feels more natural to do so as a southpaw. However, when it comes to disc golf, for me it’s all about my stance. I’m right leg dominate. And the disc golf throwing stance for righties just so happens to kinda mirror your stance for batting left handed in baseball and fighting as a southpaw in boxing. I trust my right arm enough to do what it needs to, but throwing in a lefty stance is too foriegn.
I’ve played a few times for fun but I did not know any of these things. I have a few disc in my car that I randomally bought and have no idea what the numbers are. Thanks for the info!
You keep doing these articles, and if it ever thaws out up here I’m gonna have to give it a go.
Like that’s going to happen.
Played once. They gave me a boomerang. Took forever.
*rimshot*
Thanks, Yusef!
Spawn 1 left a bunch of discs in the garage when he left. There are a ton of courses near me but it never even occurred to me to play!
I may have to give it a shot.
The real trick is to be chronically frustrated and angry . . .just like normal golf.
I quit regular golf 20 years ago. I played a ton when I was young, but realized that it was really bad for my rage.
So I focused on hockey, instead 😉
I taught my kids to play chess and when they were beating me every time I quit doing that too.
“chronically frustrated and angry”
Damn, I’d be a natural.
*pops up*
Somebody call me?
Thanks Yusef, but have no fear. I won’t be learning anything more, I’m jammed up tight with all the half assed stuff I haven’t learned yet. I’ll stick with tying my shoes and growing radishes. I do like your shoes though.
Looks like fun, especially with other guys/gals. Is there a ladies’ league or some such thing as that? Would they play the same course as men?
Radishes were the easiest thing to grow for us. Seems like they popped up over night.
Spinach is pretty easy too.
Easy to cut of with me MVP Relay…
Radishes grow in florida?
Learn something new every day.
We had more trouble with cold weather crops like broccoli and cauliflower. They grew, just not like the radishes, spinach, peppers and okra. Also the lime, lemon and tangerine trees are doing well.
Mrs F likes daikon radishes to pickle. 1 nice radish will fill a quart jar, though. I grow broccoli/cauliflower but don’t get the results like in the store, mine tend to be smaller and want to flower. Still edible tough.
Wish we could grow those citrus trees, hoping to get some apple trees started this year. Mice/gophers like the bark on the young trees though.
though
I have a Honeycrisp tree that is over 7 years old. It has borne one apple…which was eaten by a fucking deer before it ripened fully.
It took about 7-10 years before my sister’s pear trees started to bear fruit. She’s in southern Minnesota. I think she kinda regrets the pears. They have soo many pears.
What variety of pear?
I we gifted a boomerang. I’ve never tried throwing it. ?♂️

It kind of bugs me he wasted more money on a vanity project than I’ll see in 10 lifetimes. Oh well. His money his choice.

Who makes the best windows in 2020?
Marvin
…and with a good guarantee…
^ correct answer ^
You get what you pay for, I’ve read and believe based on what I’ve seen/installed that all the low end (contractor) grade windows are built by the same three companies even though there are dozens of brands, If you’re getting vinyl replacement level quality I doubt the brand matters as much as the supplier and the installer and their service and follow up. If your going high end…same thing actually, Anderson, Marvin, Peachtree are all interchangeable quality wise, It’s the features that may be different. Ask around, find a installer that backs up his work and has a good rep, if you’re buying from a Box Store or local lumber yard ask about service warranty etc…, I’d specifically ask if they have a service rep in the area, we had a client insist on a high end brand and when we had trouble with one of the patio sliders we found out that they didn’t even have a troubleshooter in the area, they sent out a guy I drink with at the bar, he knew as much about the damn things I did.
Thanks, all. I bought some Marvins for my last house but have been out of the market for a long time.
Since they are manufactured here, support is nothing.
I worked in the Marvin window factory one summer. Convinced me to get an education.
Lol. Factory work does that.
Thanks, Tulip!

So, you know the 1st coronavirus patient in NH who broke quarantine in order to attend a soiree at Dartmouth? He had been described as a “health-care worker” or “hospital employee” in the news, so you’d think he was, I dunno, an LNA or a janitor.
Turns out he was a resident.

I’m interested in learning/playing pickleball. It sounds as though it was made up by someone who was high and or drunk. It sounds fun.
I’ve not played, but I share an office with a bunch of fanatics. They cleared a section of the warehouse for a court and play every Wednesday.
And these are younger dudes – real athletes.
I’m gonna cave soon.
I heard about it from a guy that is over 70. His wife is in her 60s and apparently a fanatic.
Yes, that’s the point. It’s not just a fogey game apparently.
Noting to learn it’s pretty much mini tennis, it’s the 2010’s version of racquetball*, all the rage for about ten years and twenty years later all the courts are re-purposed or bulldozed.

One of my cats decided to puke on the living room carpet just as I had to run into the kitchen and take my food off the stove.
For all my cat Oscar’s faults, he actually pukes on the hard floor, not the area rugs. He is the only cat I have ever had that didn’t run to puke on the rug. I love him so much. He’s such a courteous cat.
I have, more than once, steered the hound to the tiled kitchen when she starts hawking…
Cats are not receptive to such steering. I’ve tried. That’s why Oscar is awesome. (In addition, he never wakes me to be fed – the dog on the other hand…)
Cats are also not 70 pounds, so “moving” vs. “steering” is possible.
You’re right. Cats are not receptive to steering.
Yeah, my attempts at that just wind up with them running into the nearest carpeted room.
Oh yeah. One of the benefits of having a 14 pound mini dachshund is that I can easily pick her up and hustle her out of the living room when she starts to heave.
LOL picking up either of my cats is not recommended.
Modern-day conceptions…
Bonus points for the alpha response.

As we’re getting ready to move, there was one plumbing project we dreaded. The drain for the kitchen sink has been leaking for years longer than we owned the house, and the asshole before us just painted over the water damage in the basement. Me, being less of an asshole, decided to call the plumber in to fix the cracked pipe under the sink.
Then, the next day the carpet in the basement under the sink was wet. And this morning it was sopping wet. I tore the wall and ceiling open and found wet insulation everywhere. There was a patched hole in the wall where they obviously half assed a repair attempt years back.
As I followed the pipe up, I thought I had checked the whole line up to where the fix happened, but there was a small blind spot. Turned on the water, and a stream shot down from the single hardest place to reach on the entire line. Its inside the wall behind the deepest kitchen cabinet.
Fuuuuuuuuuccccccckkkkkkkkk.
Oh, and prior owner shoved a blanket in there at some point to hide the leak. Asshole.
When it’s time to move everything breaks.
Spent my childhood bouncing around the country (dad was an air traffic controller, gotta move to busier facilities to move up in pay as your career advances) and it happened every time we started packing.

That’s unfair to Ana Gasteyer.
C’mon…she’s like, Raider’s Ark-opening scene ugly. I don’t hate her; I just don’t want to look at her, or, be in the same universe as her.
She is funny. Looks wise she isn’t my cup of tea but I wouldn’t call her ugly. I’m relying on my memory of her on SNL. Things may have changed.
Klobuchar is unlikable, mean spirited, and ugly.
Too true about AK.
Alright–even though she really does remind me of Gasteyer, let’s split the diff, and go with Rachel Dratch.
::shudders violently–in a bad way::
It’s either her or possibly one or two more that will get the VP nod for the Dems. I was predicting Kamala for a while, but I think her star has fallen significantly since people got a good look at her. I’d not count out Michelle, Klobuchar or Warren. Seeing as Joe is not looking like he will make it long haul, I’d say that is a very high probability that they’d get a shot at the top job if they were on the ticket and could beat El Trumpo.
You’re not fooling me–you lifted that right out of the Book of Revelations!

Was going to save this for Saturday night, but what the hell..

So….you do hate me. I get it–my cocky strut, and musky odors…

New The Critical Drinker: The most recent car-wreck of a Dr Who episode.
They haven’t made an episode of that show in years.
I believe you. I think that, at this point, it’s just copyright infringement.
The spousal unit would probably disagree, but, she came into her fandom in very recent years.
Thanks for that.
I watched… but didn’t have much of a reaction. I was just going on inertia anyway. The last few seasons have been progressively more tedious, for all the reasons he pointed out. And this one… Well, thankfully I wasn’t even invested enough to suss out exactly why it blew so hard. I just turned it off and went about my day.
He nails it though. The “woke” that is splattered all over it is so poorly done that it is the entire point of the show, entertainment be damned. It is like a 70’s sitcom for black folks – all the white characters had to be bumbling idiots. In the last couple of seasons of Dr. Who, everyone has to be a lesbian minority to be strong. And everyone else has to be stupid and perhaps evil. But they forgot to make it fun, so even if you just went with it, you still couldn’t enjoy it.
So kudos to drunk guy… he nailed it. I probably won’t be back either. And kudos to the critics, for getting everything wrong.
They hailed this drek. They also told me that Black Lightning was a different kind of show with a unique African American perspective. Well, they stuffed a little bit of that in there, but mostly it just sucks. So I dropped it a while back, having only stuck around because “they” said it was gonna get good at some point. (it only gets worse, from what I can tell) There’s a lot of sci-fi fantasy comic stuff out there, so I guess that means there’s gonna be a lot more crap.
But retconning Star Wars, Star Trek and Dr Who out of existence is still a pretty clean sweep for these tools, if you are old enough for these to be your history.
I was never much of a fan of “Who Classic” (pre-revival,) though the Mr. is. Those episodes usually put me to sleep. I really liked the revived series, especially the Tennant seasons, and we have all the ones through Capaldi on DVD or Blu-Ray, though we were definitely less enamored of his last couple of seasons (post-Clara.) We gave up on the show entirely after the first couple of Whittaker episodes. Damn shame.
I just found them cheesy and silly. It’s yet another area of fandom that I will never understand. Mind you, I geek out over WWI and II stuff to this day. I listen to old warship podcasts as a sleep aide…
My take exactly.
Pretty quiet in here!
I’ll add my 2 cents on Klobuchar: she really is coyote ugly, with a very asymmetric face. When she laughs, her face turns into some grinning rictus, with her lips peeled back and her gums fully showing as she brays like the donkey she is.
I wouldn’t hold that against her if she were a decent o P.O. Redon, but she’s not. She treats her staff with open disdain, having them do menial tasks for her.
When you see how entitled she acts, you begin to remember that she won her senate seat because her daddy was a beloved sportswriter for the Star Trubune, so she got their endorsement and glowing coverage.
All she does is rubber stamp the D position on legislation.
“Decent person” not hat ever that mess was.
Beautifully put….wow, that seems an odd thing to write.
Who on this site is not odd?
::looks around::
Yeah…I suppose you’re right!
Case in point: I am actually awaiting a Sir Digby Chicken Caesar t-shirt. Because, why not?

True art!
Would be great if I could get one that had been Warhol’d.
BTW–you would happen to be familiar with Östersund, Sweden, would you?
I’m watching a streamer from there, and I love his accent. Hard to quantify the various…nuances(?), but, I find it an interesting voice.
Me. I’m dull-normal. The stupidest glib.
If I were a teamBlue no matter the cost kind of person, I’d be worried about Biden or Bernie’s running mate. The Dems clearkyvkzz as ck bench depth in middle aged leaders.
It I were a die-hard Team Red person, I’d be worried about Life after Trump. Pence is NOT going to be elected President. So will they drop Pence and pick up Haley? Or who? It’d be great if it were Tand, but voters are too shallow to vote for a short fellah with funny hair.
GOP can’t have another brash loudmouth up next. Trump is Trump, so it worked for him.
Rand, not Tand.
And bench depth.
This is why I shouldn’t type lying on my side with one eye open.
Oh, you know it–the pendulum is gonna keep going in more and more ‘extreme’ swings.
After Trunp–an honest-to-God, branded Socialist
After them–a far more rightward swing, in an attempt to flip (not un-do) the leftist shit.
Later, rinse, repeat.
AOC will be old enough to run for POTUS by then!
Good. God.
We already have President Twitter so President “Show Me Yer Tits!” on Instagram isn’t much of a stretch.
“Influencer-in-Chief”, if you will…
So someone from the other end of the diac world has an idea, what are the approximate numbers for a 175g ultimate disc?
Are you trying to figure out the hippy-killin’ range of these things?
Back in the day, I was the weirdo hangin with the hippies.
I still have a mean forehand.
So you used to slap the hippies around?
Just the lazy “Bernie-Types”.
When we were boys we used to stand on the corners of the football field and loft our ordinary frisbees back and forth. Knew lotsa landing tricks and spins. Ah, to be seventeen again with intact knees and shoulders, a bag of weed and a preternatural ability to make anything entertaining…
Logically I know Moore’s law, and understand that computers keep getting better.
But somehow I’m still boggled when I realize the little red typing machine that has less processing power than my phone likely trounces the Cray-1 in operations per second.
If Texas Instruments put men on the Moon just think what your hand-held would be capable of. I remember those first calculators and they were spendy as hell.
Is this some nerd shit or should I now what you are talking about?
The robots done terk er jerbs!
Cray-1 was a supercomputer in the mid 70s. Its a marvel that our modern day computing, even calculators, probably have better computing power than that.
So…yeah nerd shit.
I’ll reply for the Cyclops, “Nuh-uh!”
Whelp, I’m outta beer and outta patience. Work tonight was a bear, Wifey had a worse one and raided my supply. Have a good one, Glibs and we’ll see you on the light side of Friday.
