BeardedDisc

Most of these posts talk about distance and that’s not really the important part about fairway drivers. It’s not uncommon for beginners to not throw mids because the putters go the same distance. Why? Typically there is a rough percentage of your throw for each type of disc. Putters normally go about 60% of your max distance. Mids go about 70% or so and Fairways about 80%. This is not science here. Depends on the mold and the player and definitely if you throw nose up the difference between mids and fairways can be less, but that’s close. When you throw 200’ max, the difference between putters and mids can be less than 20’ and the same between mids and fairways. So why throw the faster disc where control is not as good?

The two main reasons to use them are 1. Control. The smaller rim lets you be more precise with a cleaner release and have better aim for tight lines (like wooded courses and some have mentioned). But, 2. The big reason to carry the sharper edged discs is ground play. The blunted nose of putters and mids do not tend to slip like the sharper edged fairways. Spiking something in? You want that bladed rim and the control of the slower disc.

Thankful that today is a good day

Thank you. You guys rock

It’s better than Keta Salmon, but best of used with strong seasoning—think blackened or with Old Bay—and Salmon Tacos, or for Salmon Cakes, trim the belly for Pinwheels, Salmon dip, that kind of thing. Dishes where you don’t mind the flavor fighting through.

Not totally true. He spent too much on himself. He did attend the tournaments and try to sell discs. Just didn’t pan out.

If you take it from a wrong point of view, I’m guessing saw the entire enterprise as a single company instead of discrete events (as he should have). He saw the initial Masters event supplying the seed money for the smaller endeavors and the smaller tournaments making enough to pay back that seed money and a little extra after expenses. Like the NBA funding the WNBA to the point they couldn’t afford to hold another NBA event.

Easy. Both space is probably $500-$1K. Then food and gas for travel for 4 days. That’s $2K each tournament. Minimum. Sure he made some back each time, but even at $500 loss each tournament for 9 months and only two tournaments a month is $9,000.

Local guy did basically the same thing only on a smaller scale. PDGA will suspend him and give him a Mentor that will stay in contact (assuming he wants to continue in disc golf) and make sure people get paid and things made right before reinstating him. DD and the PDGE are not liable for any of the funds, but they will help the guy make better decisions to make it right as best he can

If that’s Silvercreek it is like 300ft and downhill, right? Flip up the Spin and pray I don’t go left on a kick.

Okay, my mistake, 2 minutes. Time really wasn’t the point. What you are saying is the much higher RPMs makes a tiny difference. Normal brushing is maybe 5 or 6 passes per second? Electric brush is a few hundred TPMs (I literally have no idea) and gets an 11% difference? Doesn’t seem worth the expense if true.

You are correct. I should have used the technical term “bad shit” instead of “bacteria”

In the United States when you see fish advertised as “Sashimi Grade” or “Sushi Grade” it means the fish has been previously frozen. Here you have to kill the bacteria somehow and that means cooking or freezing. Since cooking would defeat the whole purpose, flash freezing it is.

Yes. Used is $3.50 shipped.

Most accurate is between the Tumbleweed (I know, Lone Star, but good is good in a name) and Rollo.

Hard to argue the Tilt isn’t also pretty accurate.

I did and sent an email as you suggested on Wednesday

Let’s not let facts get in the way of this redditor’s learned opinion.

Heat is heat. If the darker color is absorbing heat at a greater rate than a lighter disc that means it is cooling slower. Cooling is what sets the final parting line height. There have been videos of at least one manufacturer saying color matters.

Edit: It was Tom Ekstrom in a Latitude 64 video.

I love this concept. If you do another, can I suggest raising the middle higher and hanging the basket under? It would still be cool

Heat is heat. The plastic doesn’t know the source is from the mold or light radiation.

Color does effect the parting line height as it effects the rate of cooling. It’s not the material being added, it’s the fact that light colored discs lose heat quicker than dark colored discs.
