It’s a widely accepted theory that throwing stable to over stable discs typically improves the consistency of your throws. Certainly there are exceptions and some large trade-offs, but hyzer throws (all other things being equal) are statistically more forgiving of errors than anhyzer throws, as described by www.heavydisc.com.

Discmania P1 Maniac and P1x Review
The P1 Maniac from Discmania is known as a soft and floppy Aviar. The P1x adds a small bead to the putter without changing the flight characteristics much at all. These straight flying putters are similar enough in flight that we’ll review them together.

Disc Golf Analysis – Distance Tiers
I’ve played disc golf for 13 years and like most tenured disc golfers I’ve evolved my game over time. While it’s much more common to analyze individual throwing techniques like power grips or putting styles, I find it helpful to occasionally assess my overall disc golf style to ensure that I’m continually making progress.

Building Your Throwing Technique
I’ve been disc golfing for only two years but I’ve been able to exceed my expectations by far. I’ve also improved faster than my other friends that started at around the same time (Chris will attest to this). When I pair up and play a round with new people, none of them believe that I’ve only played a few years. My early success is a result of solid disc golf technique. I know I have a long way to go but I’m certain I have started on the right track and I owe a lot of credit to Dan Beto and his disc golf technique video.

Push Putting Technique
When I first started playing disc golf, I was terrible at putting. I used the typical wristy motion that almost all beginners attempt. I would miss way right of the basket, or way left if I forgot the natural path of the disc, or really long if I threw with decent enough form to create glide. As a result, my first several rounds involved laying up from 20′ and out. I was so scared to miss badly that I just went for a toss near the basket. Then, I came across a video of a great clinic put on by Dave Feldberg.

ACE your way around the course
The mental side of athletics is often overlooked. We look at professionals and see their amazing abilities but we often forget that their decisions and ability to focus might give them the largest advantage. Disc golf is no different. Two players with similar physical ability can play entirely different based on these invisible factors originating in the mind. I’ve come up with a simple way to remember the three basic mental steps that should be part of every throw: ACE! After all, why not think of an ace on every shot. The acronym stands for Analyze, Commit, and Execute.
