Control & Thusly Accuracy

Hi

 

When you're in the woods and needing to aim...

 

How do you aim?

 

Do you just look and throw?

Point certain body parts at certain things or the basket?

 

second part:

 

Can you throw a beeline for the basket on this hole with a forehand?

How do you take the right and left out of the disc and throw it on a rope up the middle?

Where's the stress point or main muscle that you concentrate on?

 

This hole is 270 ft. 

 

(Cottage Grove, OR)

Ya, but my line involved hitting a few trees! So I'll have to work on it. I'll be up there in Sept. So I'll write down all the lines that people have suggested and post the results in Oct. Problem is, I don't have a forehand. :)

P.S. I bet there is a forehand hyzer route around the tree dead straight in front of the teepad (closest in the pic). Perhaps a "local route?" Hard to tell in a pic.

After reading your P.S here I took another look at the photo. Check out the teepad, there must be another route to the left of that tree judging by the way the teepad is facing. Maybe the pad was laid in an akward spot, I dont know.

Keith,

This hole (#14) has 3 positions I just read on http://www.oregondiscgolf.com/. This course if you wanted to see is North Regional Park in Cottage Grove, OR.

One of the other holes was to the left.

Here's the course site.

I would flick something a little less stable to help it keep a line or backhand a mid like my spider and work my way up to the basket.

i'll be moving down to coosbay in a few weeks, i look forward to playing this course(along with whistlers, been years since i played whistlers)
anyways, since its uphill, i would throw my mid conditioned kc aviar upto the guy next to the tree, but side arm roller looks fun also lol


i pick imaginary points to aim at, even if theres a tree in the background of my imaginary point,im not aiming at the tree,cuz i might hit it.plus, on this throw or other tech shots like this, i look at the shot,do a couple mock releases and get it in my head, then look away,and set up to throw....when im tee'ing off, im looking at back edge of my disc, and i follow it til its out of my hands, then watch the flight and hope trees move out of the way

like Mark Ellis said about backhanders using the minds eye, shoulder, and peripheral vision, thats what i do
