Fool proof windy day tips and tricks

Spring is here and so is the wind, what are some of the techniques you use?  

[ Headwind,cross,tall, drives, up shots, putts. ]

[Paul Novak]

Putt with a challenger!
Drive with a Z Predator!
Midrange shots with a Z Wasp!

[Donny Olow]

Keep it Flat. Nose down and level. Try not to let the wind get under the disc much. Power through it.

Wind was 40-50mph today several trees fell on the course, hat blew off, broke my umbrella. Flipped a new Z-Flick. I wish I had known how to handle that.

[Jamie 'gr8rocshot' Ruane]

Tropical force winds 45-50....there's isn't a whole a lot of "handling that!!!" Lmao!!!

We played a tournament at Barnett in Orlando back in the mid 90's....one of the rounds, the winds were sustained at 50....gusts much higher. It was insane!!! Record breaking roller distance.....in the wrong direction!!!

[Ben Calhoun]

Yup official report now says gusts of 49mph recorded

Thanks for the report, Ben.

In my group we were guessing how strong the wind gusts were but there is no way to know when you are out playing in it. During the worst of it, I had an upshot about 100 feet from the basket but the only route was over some small trees/bushes. Off my fingertips I thought I threw it perfect. The wind had other ideas. My next shot was about 100 feet away from the basket under a bush.

Consistently screaming winds are so different than what we encountered at yesterday's tournament. These winds were gusty and unpredictable. On one pad, playing in a three some, one guy had crazy headwinds, one guy had crazy sidewinds and the last guy had dead air until the disc was part way down the fairway when the wind slammed it down.
