I have been reading a lot of the comments and almost everyone is giving great advice. I have been playing disc golf for about 16 years. I started playing because I have a chronic illness that robs me of flexibility, bad shoulder , hips extc, I don't have a hugh running release. 1 step and throw, I usually get about 250 -300 on my drives without effort and 350 with a bit of effort. I think Berry is giving excellent advice, learn control and you will get much better control and distance

its really funny....i love just going out with my friends while playing and talking. Incredibly relazing.

@bammikevandmuska try to release the disc when its plane is level and/or parallel to the ground. ie, your hand-axis swings around even with the ground. another thing is to tilt the outside edge of the disc (relative to your throwhand) slightly upwards, so that it releases slightly canted to the "right". this counters its tendency to immediately head left after the "sprint" period (the time when its momentum is greater than its inertia) and leads to the desired "s curve" of good long drive

@bammikevandmuska This has to do with three things

Disc Type and weight

Release Angle

Power of Snap

If you have a monster snap you can release a stable disc tail up nose down and it will still flatten out from the force of the snap

But if you have a weak or beginner snap try throwing an understable disc, my advice to you is to pick up a 150 gram R-Pro Boss, this disc will fly far for a less experianced thrower due to its design to roll to the right.

Good luck!

@bammikevandmuska I think it's your release. If the disc is even the slightest bit lopsided on the release, the disc is going to curve. Just try different techniques. Maybe video tape yourself and watch it. Actually, definitely video tape yourself and watch it. That can show you exactly what you're doing wrong...

i just started disc golfinng at Wickham park in CT. It's so beautiful there. It is such a relaxing thing to do. I'm currently trying to refocus myself on accuracy first, distance second. I mean, yes you want to use all of your energy and get the disc to go as far as possible, but a focus on accuracy usually means you'll get it to go more in the right direction, hence a longer shot overall...

@uguysarefried Discs, Costanza.  And, yes, I do. I just started though. Had I played a few years ago things would be different.

Schultz is the man and this is really sound advice.
