Jake replied to MJ Waltz's discussion Thumber/Thomahawk throwing methods"I've dislocated my right shoulder a handful of times over the years, once or twice from throwing thumbers when I first started playing disc golf. I haven't had this happen in the past year or two due to a change in my form. I go through a…"
Jake replied to Shawn Boucké's discussion Gateway Scout"I would agree with what Shawn is saying. I've thrown it quite a few times hard (As mine is blue, I can find it). It seems like a little more stable buzz. It feels REALLY comfortable in the hand...almost like its a touch smaller than other mid…"
Jake replied to nick young's discussion gorrilla boy bags"I own one and yes, it does have a lifetime warranty. It is without question the best bag I have ever owned. It has an adjustable yoke so it fits to the curve of your spine and can take whatever you can throw at it.
Last year I played in…"
Mark Cuban replied to Jake's discussion Putting into EXTREME wind (video)"I agree , I've sunk many a put on windy days with the Firebird!"
Jim Coonradt replied to Jake's discussion Putting into EXTREME wind (video)"In extreme wind don't use a putter with a big flat rim that the wind is going to catch. Use a stable driver like a TeeBird and it will cut the wind. But there just isn't much room for error in extreme wind.
As far as the video goes,…"
Mark Cuban replied to Jake's discussion Putting into EXTREME wind (video)"I think the best way to make a putt with the wind is flat and hard aiming low for the headwind and high for the tailwind. How else you gonna get it in ?"
Ghost replied to Jake's discussion Putting into EXTREME wind (video)"Last Sunday I had a putt on hole 18 about 25 feet away the wind was about 10-15 mph with gusts up to 25mph. one of the gusts knocked my putt down hit the front of the basket and landed upright to roll down hill about 100 feet away. Cost me my…"
ROBEY the one. replied to Jake's discussion Putting into EXTREME wind (video)"bad putting if you ask me. Why is he trying to throw it flat and hard into the chains? just stupid play. I'm sure he has played in high wind before what was he thinking, especially after the first one?"
Sam Smith replied to Jake's discussion Putting into EXTREME wind (video)"last word on the first paragraph. I had to look pretty hard for it myself."
Jake replied to Jake's discussion Putting into EXTREME wind (video)"I hyperlinked the word "now" in the paragraph. Here's the link anyway.

Sam Smith replied to Jake's discussion Putting into EXTREME wind (video)"I've had one hit the basket, blow out, and roll 60 ft away from the basket. New Mexico winds can be brutal."

AK Discer replied to Jake's discussion Putting into EXTREME wind (video)"Kincaid during the summer can get just as windy and more. Part of this course borders the coastal trail next to Cook Inlet so we're right on the water and have awesome views. This place can get wicked windy to the point it can add…"

No matter where you live I'm sure we've all found ourselves playing disc golf on a windy day. I never look forward to putting when it's really windy out because of some horrific experiences and some horrific stories. I've always heard about putts that have stuck in the chains only to have the wind blow them out but I've never actually SEEN this until now. The video as a whole is excellent but skip to 5:40…See More

John Sturtevant said… - Hey Jake,
If you plan on attending the clinic just show up. You might want to bring a few of the same putter and the rest of the discs in your bag as the clinic will not be just putting, plus we should have a round of play at the park after the clinic. I'll mark your name down so we can expect you, but if things change just message me privately. I do need your last name though.
