That's actually hilarious. I always associated disc sports with hippies, and chill people. I've ran into more disc golf snobs, elitists, and pompous assholes than I thought existed. Just look at the majority of comments on these disc golf videos. Most are guys saying they can throw farther than whatever guy in whatever video, or are just critical to be critical. I love this sport, and I enjoy playing it very much. There are a lot of chill people who play, but the snobs ruin it for me.

@liquidooze6 It depends on the flight you're looking for. For something that barrel rolls and flips sooner than later, you want something understable like a Leopard or Roadrunner. If you want it to resist this roll as much as possible, than overstable like a Banshee or xXx are good.

just shut up and throw!!!!!!!!! if you love this sport so much, and quit wining. its just like anyother sport. lose the rainbows and unicorns attitude, not everyones your friend.deal with it, i love this sport too but i cant stand people coming into this sport and complaining.

@liquidooze6 Over stable discs. Firebirds, monsters, max, predator, stuff like that.

Here in South Dakota people are pretty cool on the greens. They will take the time out to help a newcomer. I can't recall any snobs but the ones who bug me are the younger smart ass kids who act pissed that you take your time. They over run your turn - well I guess I like to take my time.

kay guys seriously, I don't see any snobbiness in this guy at all: all he's doing is breaking down the components of the throw & showing us the correct technique in much detail. I thought it was a good throw so I don't see what the big deal is. He even stated that it wasn't his best shot so what's all this "oh he's such a hippy snob" crap about? If you don't like the vid, don't watch it! I think expertvillage has done a great job of this video =)

Is there a better disc than others for this hammer throw, or a tomahawk throw?
