if you roll on purpose it should count against you , the game of disc golf is to throw the disc , not roll

"The game of disc golf is to throw the disc"......."Throw the disc"........."THROW?" Hmmmmm, its so amazing how that disc ROLLS by itself without "THROWING" it

@AllaboutTheDiesel I can throw max like 400-430, but i can roll my roadrunner 500-550 so if i have the chance to use a roller and get that difference of a par or 1 up instead of a possible birdie. I dont see why you have this grudge against people rolling their disc. Maybe you should learn them better and you might like the extra distance...

@andrewwolf if i was at the worlds i wouldn't be rolling my disc . but thats just me . not a roller . come play in the woods with us and try rolling your disc

@DoomKR3Wkid I play with an old pro here in our weekly league and the dude can barley throw over 300, but he smash's 5-600 foot rollers, and if theres good wind... forget about it. So i feel ya, do what works, thumbers, hammers, grenades, rollers, shit i've seen a guy air bounce a putter at full force to make a 7 footer from behind and under a tree because that was his only route. dg isn't just flicks and backhands. Much props to whomever has every shot imaginable in his/her bag. Happy golfin'

@AllaboutTheDiesel get over it rolling is part of the game...if he threw a roller who cares he got it to do what he wanted didnt he? im over it...it was a nice shot

[andrewwolf]

@AllaboutTheDiesel Could have drove?? Your English is about as good as your disc golf sense, which is basically nil. Then again, maybe I missed your name in the top 10 at worlds, where Rico finishes regularly...

@AllaboutTheDiesel [holding up a bowling ball] What the fuck is this? - Obviously you're not a golfer.

[Culture261]

@AllaboutTheDiesel Apparently you dont throw many rollers, there pretty predictable. Its going to roll the direction you want  almost 100% of the time. Its all a distance game, can you get it to roll far enough before it starts its very predictable turn.

[AllaboutTheDiesel]

@Culture261 yeah he threw the disc 2ft in front of him and then prayed to god that it rolled the right direction , what a tool

[Culture261]

@AllaboutTheDiesel He did throw the disc, right into the dirt. By your logic, bounce passes shouldnt count in basketball.
