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

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

Field practice

I'm not entirely sure what's happened over the last 6 months but I've lost about 40' of distance off my throws. In October, I was throwing everything between 350 and 380 and exactly where I wanted it. Today's session, I was 300-350 with one shot getting to 380 in a headwind. I had no aim whatsoever, I had probably a half a dozen total worm burners that didn't make 200'. I know I was torqueing some of the shots I was throwing and that was quite frustrating. I have just been off on all counts.… Continue
