Tips on aiming the disc

I was just wondering if anyone knew any tips on aiming the disc. I cant seem to get the disc to fly on the lines that I want. I know practice is the way to get better but does anyone know drills or tips to help the process?

Make an effort to go to an open field preferably without a lot of people and empty your bag. Do this on a consistent basis. You will develop a "feeling" for the discs you throw and then the rest of the aiming process takes care of it self. I would also tell you to buy a putter that you only throw. Don't putt with it. Just throw it. Trust me on this. Throwing putters for distance force you to learn angle of release, how much arm speed to use, the spin required, and even elevation. People will argue this point. The fact of the matter is that putters are not designed to be thrown far. They are slow highly controllable discs designed for putting. However, once you've learned to drive with a putter you have a knowledge base to go learn what other disc do. I throw an SSS wizard max. Weight. Slight hyzer, slight nose up depending on shot selection and distance.

pick a spot,to put it on its line,,not throw to the basket,but a throw on a line to allow the disc to fly to where the spot is.because the hole/basket may have more than one line to get there,,so putting it on a flight line rather than throwing to the basket can help you get closer to putt for birdie.and like others are saying FORM will come in time..and warm up prior to your rounds,i like to warm up with a couple max wieght rocs and buzzz,,they can help with accuracy..and after you pull back and are coming forward,your head needs to be up and eyes looking on your line..example here on a tight tee pad with trees,,head up eyes forward...good luck.

Tips on aiming the Disc.

Find a empty Field and Practice.

Try everything you know , like Sidearm , Backhand, Overhand , Thumber , Scoobie , Sidearm Roller , Backhand roller , Two-Finger , HyzerFlip , Flex Shot , etc. 

Learn them all , then Practice some more and keep Practicing over and over till you reach your satisfaction level.

Play Different Disc Golf Courses and Try the Shots you have learned.

Play Natural Obatacles like Trees , Trash cans , Fire Hydrants , etc. Just to get your Aim Down.

If you don't have any distance yet , work on Mid-Range Accuracy.

As far as getting your Aim down , Work at your Short game First. Start off hitting your mark at short distances , then work on Distance Accuracy. It takes time.

For some , It takes many years , while others get it right away.

Practice until you know yourself and your abilities !!!!

Don't give up , even if everything does not go your way. Nothing is Perfect Everytime , All the Time.

Practice,

Practice,

Practice,

Practice,

Then

Practice !!!!!

Aim at the area where the basket is at.

What Donny said is right. You got to have a starting point to know what your disc is going to do. Now you could play a lot of rounds on a course or just throw your whole bag in an open field to uf your learning curve down at least in halve or more. I will always tell new plays to start with the slowest most neutral flying disc possible. Learn the disc to the point you start over powering it. Keep at it so until you learn they disc inside out. Now you have a starting point of knowledge to base other disc off of. I my self have a SSS wizard that is my short range driver/approach disc. I don't putt with it. The wizard is stable straight but not long like the buzzz. If I were to throw this disc as far as the buzzz then I would need to throw it on a higher line to make up for such things as the lack of glide, more hyzer to make up for the slower speed, and finally be smooth because a putter is finicky. That being said once you've mastered or t least learned to grow a slower disc further then you wl have a much better knowledge base to apply towards other disc. For example; I need to throw the buzzz with more spin/torque to make up for the extra weight. The buzzz is 176 and the wizard is 171. The buzzz is also a bigger diameter so more spin is required to get it to fly straight. That being said depending on the distance the slower disc is some times better depending the circomatance.
