"I'd go with a Firebird. Although with contacts being out in winds over about 25mph is a bad idea so I wouldn't be there to begin with."

Ghost replied to david swamp thing black's discussion What would you do to improve a basket?"All that means is that you threw it too high/hard. If you hit the band, it's your problem, not the basket's. I love teh band simply because my eyesight sucks and sometimes all I can see of the basket from the tee is the band."
Ghost replied to Dookville's discussion Learning to play using Mids and Putters!!!"I don't go to quite such an extreme. I'd also recommend at least one fairway driver. An understable fairway driver such as the Leopard, XL or River is a good place to start for most people."

General Update
My computer keeled over on Oct 5 and I didn't get a new one until the 4th of November so I haven't been on to do much of anything for quite a while.
As to DG, I unfortunately went 3 months without hitting a course so I was extremely rusty when I went and played on Monday. I played Oak Grove and got in 1.5 rounds before dark. My scores were +6 (I was 6 over in the last 6 holes) and then I shot -3 on the additional front 9.
For field practice, I've thrown once or twice a weekend… Continue

Driving meltdown
I'm currently down to throwing 330-350 at best and with little accuracy. I'm not sure what's happening if it's a failure in technique or aging catching up with me (I'm 38). This past weekend was the first set of field sessions in ages where I didn't break 360'. I threw one 358 with my flippiest SL. It just kept drifting right and floating. Oh, I also gave myself a blood blister at my main rip point on my index finger. All my drivers are going about this distance unless I have a big form… Continue

I'm bored and it's been some time -
Field practice has been okay lately. Not great. Okay. I'm maxing out between 360 and 370 although my main field is unuseable due to reseeding and fertilizing. My aim is a bit less wonky than it's been over the last few months. I'm focusing more on a downfield target or line to hit so that's helped a bit. I'm still not feeling the big snap or effortless quality I was back in October but I'm working more consciously on that.
As to round play. I'm playing 2-3 rounds a week at a random… Continue

It's been a while
Due to general life situations I haven't been able to throw much lately so there hasn't been as much to discuss. I got out to throw twice this past weekend and things went more or less the same as before although my long throw was 375' with an SL. I was around 360' with the rest of my SLs and 345-360 with my TLs. I don't know if I'm getting my timing back or what's going on but the improvement helps. As it stands, I have more than enough D to handle my local courses. I've shot -2 on my home… Continue
