If the frisbee hits the chains, is it a guarantee "in"?

Absolutely not. It's infuriating when that happens too.

There is nothing more annoying than having a putt hit the chains dead center, have it fall straight down, hit the basket and then bounce out.

And then you curse really loudly, forgetting the course is at a state park with lots of little kids within shouting distance.

That could just be the tourette's.

The worst is when it just brushes against the chains but not enough to slow the disc down. Then it just flies right on by. This always happens to me when I make a great second shot from a pretty far distance. Then it usually lands and rolls even further.

I imagine that part sucks

It's so frustrating.

They do exist, and no he hasn't.

How was your weekend, Kev?

I probably haven't played in two years. I need to get back into it when it gets warmer.

chud, can you throw a disc well when you have your index and middle finger under the disc and you just flick your wrist. i guess you call that your backhand? chud, is it legal to play with an aerobee?

Yes I can throw a disc like that well, and that's a forehand not a backhand. Backhand is the traditional frisbee throw, just think about it for a second.

And no, that can't be legal.

Agreed.

We haven't been out in a couple of weeks. Definitely going to hit the new, heavily wooded course by our house this weekend. Gotta get time in there before it gets warm.

Thoughts on this starter kit

I've been told there is really only a need for a driver and a putter at the course we have here, so if that set isn't great then we can always get just individual putters and drivers for not much more then that kit.

If the weather is decent, we will be giving this a try next weekend

Yeah, until you get serious I would recommend a driver and either a putter or a utility/mid range like a Shark.
