Josh Taylor replied to Charles King's discussion My Frankenstein-like throw"Follow through! Let that left leg swing around to the front of your body after the disc leaves your hand. Looks like you're consciously trying to stop this from happening, making you almost lose your balance."
John replied to Charles King's discussion My Frankenstein-like throw"I'm no pro but have been playing for 7 years now and heres my take .
your balance seems off a little at the end of your drive on the second drive .
you seem to have a clean slow drive but your lack a good follow though .
hope this helps"
AK Discer replied to Charles King's discussion My Frankenstein-like throw"You should get an account created on discgolfreview.com and have those guys check out your drive as well. They always have good feedback on stuff like this."
Charles King replied to Charles King's discussion My Frankenstein-like throw"The links are having issues for me... but if you right click and open in a new tab or window it works fine for me.
Also a note about these two throws. They were on 400' and 300' holes and neither probably went more than…"
Gratefulbb commented on Charles King's blog post A Blessing or a Curse?"hmmmm, personally i live within 3 miles of 2 great 18 hole courses and 30 minutes from 5-6 great 18 hole courses! there is no lack of course options in Ohio, i almost feel spoiled when i read some people have to travel so far to enjoy our awesome…"
Bill Burns commented on Charles King's blog post Muscle Memory and Me"Charles,
Where do you play, and when? I can try and give you some pointers. Despite my advanced age (50), my best drives can sniff at 400 ft - one of the benefits of playing for 30 years is that by that time, anyone playing consistently for that…"
Bill Burns commented on Charles King's blog post A Blessing or a Curse?"I live in North Dallas. Where in the city did you ilve that you were only 10-15 minutes away from a couple of courses? Were you on the east side near BB Owen and Audubon?"
mark ellis commented on Charles King's blog post Muscle Memory and Me"Hey Charles King,
For the first 8 years I played I increased my distance each year so with practice and dedication you probably will too. Then I leveled off and diminished some with age (threw my first golf disc at 39 y/o and am 55 now) until this…"
AK Discer commented on Charles King's blog post Muscle Memory and Me"Charles,
Check out the below links and just peruse this whole site as there is tons of priceless info. I don't really have much in Alaska as far as "real" pros so I don't have that advantage. Blake and associates from DGR have…"
Kory Olko commented on Charles King's blog post Muscle Memory and Me"I've only been playing for a year and a half, but here's what I've done to try and get better.
- Throw in a field. This does help a lot.
- Join in a weekly league. We have 3 parks close to here and all three have some sort of league…"

Here is a general question for you old pros out there.I have been playing disc golf at least twice a week over the last few weeks, and have gotten quite a bit better. I know which discs I want to use for different holes, and my putting is amazingly more accurate. Prior to the last few months I would go out and play with friends maybe 6-10 times a year, but I have stepped up the frequency lately as I have decided to make this my outdoor sport of choice.With that said my drives are still horribly…See More

A Blessing or a Curse?
About a year ago I moved out to the suburbs of the DFW area. I love being a home owner, and out of the apartments.
Now that I am settled in I have decided to make Disc Golf one of my primary forms of exercise. Here is where the blessing/curse kicks in. There are plenty of courses in the DFW area to play in, and when I lived in the city I was maybe 10-15 minutes away from a couple of courses. Now that I have moved out to the burbs I am about 25-35 minutes away from 5-6 courses. So… Continue
