what typpe of disc did u use to shoot?

[jbolstead]

172 yellow Pro Starfire.

[DannyE5]

So wait, are you now throwing destroyers and bosses or still the starfire...just wondering.

[jbolstead]

I have been sponsored by Gateway since shortly after Worlds. So, I typically throw Illusions now. Also, I have had some Spirits that I could boom.

My bag is all Gateway except for an old over stable disc for two fingers and my Buzz. Dave is very good to his players. So, I try to return the favor.

what was the winning distance?

[jbolstead]

515 ft - Not bad considering the following

1 - I had one at ~600ft go OB - wtf?

2 - It was raining

3 - The trees to the left made me flatten out my shot.

How many fingers do you use under the rim for your grip? Nice drive..

[notkick]

Hmmmm, you can drive.....

Why is there OB at a distance contest. I thought at Worlds its 360 in a massive open field.
