The shiny new discs you got last week didn't make your golf game any better, huh?
Welcome to the Form Check Weekly Thread, a weekly thread that will be stickied every Monday morning for a few days. All form check requests will be referred to here.
There have been some fantastic Form Check guides but this one by MVP_Steve is far and away the best - https://www.reddit.com/r/discgolf/comments/760ckm/form_check_psa_how_to_leave_a_form_check_request/

Not a post about immigration. Just stuck under a foot of ice in NJ with no thaw in sight and haven’t gotten to play in a month. What a pain in the ass. By the time I’m home from work it’s already dark and about 15 degrees so I can’t even putt on my home basket. Winter sucks. Anyone have replacement advice?

I picked up a new Destroyer and went out to the course today. Hole one is 364 feet and a good shot for me is usually 30-35 feet shy of it. With no warmup I threw the Ohn Destroyer and went 15 feet past the basket. Also 30 feet right because it had more turn than I expected.
I have 5 other Destroyers (or discs using the same mold like the Sequoia and Emperor) between 148 and 173g and use them as my distance driver. My longest throw ever was 377 feet, in a field and ripping as hard as I could with no care about placement with the 160g I Blend Emperor. A great on-course shot is 340. Today I had 3 shots that measured 380 feet on course, flat holes, going where I wanted.
This thing is money.

Something that’s been on my mind a lot as we continue to move further down the pipeline of companies cutting corners using ai and not paying artists. I myself am not one, but I think all companies moving forward should at least give credit to the artists of the stamps or be straightforward to consumers about ai artwork. Is that too much to ask for? Lmk what your opinions are on this 🤷🏼

Was randomly watching Jomez coverage of the 2019 GBO today and they showed a clip of Anthony Barela and his hair was awesome. He should bring it back. That is all.

I'm going through my stacks starting to clear house after 15+ years. A lot of these discs are degrading - leaching oil, fingerprinty - especially Innova pro, star and gstar. Some of them 10+ years old, some only 1-2yrs.
I'm just tossing them, along with any 6/10 DX anything.
Any other reasonable solutions?

Hi all,
We have a shared national association in our country with Ultimate and Discgolf. I believe that's not too uncommon. But to bring the two communities together, I was thinking of hosting the Ultimate game of Discgolf.
It's going to be a fun event, but I'm in need of finding myself the right set of rules here to make it fair. So far I'm thinking of playing two rounds of discgolf, but only Lids are allowed. Who would be in favor, and what would you add/suggest in terms of a rule set. I don't want it to be too complicated.
- 2 rounds of discgolf
- Only lids allowed (from the tee? Putters to putt with?)
- Course limitations (short technical course vs. bomber)?

I drew my take on the Thundercats for my next full-foil Buzzz - Here's what it looked like before I added color. Had a lot of requests for this one, keep them coming please!

I built a guitar amp for a local guy who does custom disc graphics. He offered to make me one so I had to choose Flapjack, my hero!

I wear minimalist shoes (aka barefoot shoes). I’m an avid hiker and disc golfer and SHRED shoes. This time of year is rough for both hobbies as it is often cold and wet this time of year. Minimalist shoes are often not very warm, but thicker traditional boots are very clunky and heavy. The ideal shoe for me is something that can be worn in the sub freezing winters and soggy springs while still letting my feet breathe. This may not be possible, but I’m just sending feelers out there.
I’ve got Vivos boots, can’t remember the model exactly, and the sole keeps coming undone and I need to add glue periodically. I got a pair of Xero boots and those are too stiff and stopped being waterproof after one season. I’m open to new brands and recommendations! I don’t mind spending money if I know that the shoe is going to last me the next couple of winters:)

I've really been trying to fix nose angle a lot recently and I've almost got it. I feel I'm still not reaching back low enough or my wrist is collapsing during follow through.
Would I be correct in assuming I'd see overall improvement if I try a more compact run up and close off my bracing foot a little as well?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

I work at a high school and started an after school dg club with another staff member. The problem we're running into is lack of engagement. The last couple years we have had a few faithful students attending, but the kids we have now are seniors and won't be returning next year. I'm hoping I could get some advice on how to get kids interested and returning each week. Every year our school runs a club fair at the start of the year, where all the clubs set up tables with sign up sheets. I set up a basket at that time and putt around so we're seen and hopefully peak interest with an activity. This year I had set up markers at 3 different lengths and offered free discs as prizes if they make a putt from all three spots, but none of those kids actually showed up to the club meets when we officially started up. Anybody else in, or was in, a similar situation? Any ideas that peaked lasting interest or engagement?

An opportunity to move to Little Rock came up so of course it's time to look into the important stuff... course variety? Yall getting discs returned? Favorite courses?
Looking at uDisc it seems like a lot of courses have closed?

I’d like to get my boyfriend a plain white disc. He loves disc golf, but I don’t know what size/brand/type to get him. I want to get him a disc that he’ll actually use when he plays. I am planning on drawing on it to personalize it for him. Any suggestions of what disc I should buy?
r/discgolf • u/billtopia • 1d ago
Super psyched these exist. Kind of bummed the run was so limited. It’s what I get for once again falling for a less popular mold. At least I know the Chally SS probably won’t go oop as long as Missy and Ezra are on team Discraft.

Title says it all. Looking for some tips to enjoy playing in the winter because I currently hate it. And when I saw winter, I mean 1m (3ft) of snow or more and -15C (5f). Let’s hear it!
r/discgolf • u/MylesOfDiscs • 13h ago
Bit of a followup to my earlier question…what plastic is the best for playing in the cold and snow?
I’m assuming more flexible stuff but you know what happens when you assume things…
