2008 Wish List

This is basically a thread of what you want to accomplish, or improve upon for next year. Feel free to offer advice!

My main goal is developing a forehand shot. I've been using a Firebird, but I know my techinique is wrong. I just can't seem to figure out that same kind of snap as my backhand.

[Rizbee]

Great goal!!!! Grow more players!

I met most of my goals for 2007. I wanted to throw a drive 400 feet and I eventually was able to do that with my destroyer. I also wanted to play a par round (anywhere) I had 2 par rounds and a 1 under at Jamesville beach.

I think my goals for 2008 will be similar, I want to be able to shoot a par at Oxbow falls course. (my best so far is +4) It is much more technical and tighter course. Getting a good placing in a tourney is also a big goal for me in this year.

well this up coming year my goals are to learn to putt better becuase i could shot even par if not under if i learned to putt well

[spencer]

would like the wife to let me play more

[ghstinshll]

I feel your pain, brother! LOL! I did eventually get to a point where I had to tell my wife that I needed an outlet, she should respect that, and (given our "circumstances & troubles"), I told her she had no choice in the matter. I still only woud up playing two events that yera, but my rec rounds & playing in some minis increased dramatically! This year is gonna be tournament time, beginning w/ the Ice Bowl here in January!

A big goal for 08 is to get the head game in check. I believe I miss many of my putts before I even release the disc.

I'll also be working on my long and mid-range consistency. I'll be aiming to have a tight grouping after every series of drives.

Oh yeah, and reach 550 feet through the air.

[DC ( DISCFUNCTIONAL CHRIS )]

my goals for 08 are to increase my distance on my backhand shot by trying to develope my form and develope my anhyser, when i started throwing in roughly 2000 my buddy that got me into this sport almost exclusively threw forehand so i started throwing forehand on most of my drives eventualy at pretty consistant distance of around 300 to 400 feet depending on the elevation, my backhand on the other hand was only good for about 150 to 200 feet max, at that time i had not heard of the power grip and some of the basic form technichs that really help a person get some added distance on thier backhand throw, in fact it was only a couple years ago on a trip to sarasoto florida that i got in a $5.00 scramble with some locals and started asking questions that the 60 year old guy that actually had the best score that day gave me some pointers such as power grip on drives and focus on a linc when putting which has helped tremendousely in my game, my backhand drives are now around 300 feet to 400 ( mostly 300 ) i would like to stretch it to a consistant 400 feet, then i would have the best of both worlds so to speak, and could start throwing more backhand drives for the added accuracy they provide over the forehand shot, like just when you think you got a awsome forehand drive going or especialy an upshot and you get that nasty skip at the end that you dont seem to get as often on a backhand shot

[Will Corey]
