If you don't disc, the terrorists win.

It's harder to disc on the clock when I have all this shit to do.

Im finally gonna get to play again tomorrow, a little over 2 weeks ago i played a round and as i was finishing my cold or flu or whatever i came down with really hit me and i haven't been back out since.

Also picked up a couple of new discs today, got a discraft elite z predator, i wanted to replace my cyclone with something that would move a good bit more. And also got a soft magnet putter

Finally replaced my roadrunner and used it at the new course around here the other day. Course was ok, but the biggest problem is I have to drive by an excellent course to get there.

It'll be better when they define the fairways a little more.

You're probably going to find that the predator wants to go hard left if you throw it RHBH (right hand backhand). It'll be great into strong headwinds and probably good for Forehand shots. What are you looking for when you say "move a good bit more" than the cyclone? Maybe consider a disc like a leapord, FD or a JLS. All of those are great fairway drivers that are very workable.

The magnet's a great putter so if you like the way it feels, you should be happy with that one.

I'm get to play Toronto Island this weekend and I'm excited for it. Supposed to be a nice course. Our league starts up here in a week, my local course is getting a new layout this weekend and a new course is going in the ground within the month. Exciting stuff. :thumbsup:

I got the nukeSS 1.0 because i was wanting to get a bit more distance while Im still trying to figure out the form to get real distance, and i really like the nuke so i felt like it made my cyclone 1.0 unnecessary, so i thought id try getting something that would break more because the courses I've played the most lately have a lot of holes that are tucked into the trees, so my 2nd shot now might break harder to get into those baskets.
I didn't get to throw it too much yesterday, but when i did it seemed to do what i was wanting.

Played 18 at the Coastal Carolina University course today. It was windy as shit, but I did manage to sink a nice 50 footer.

I didn't play at all this week, so I went out this afternoon and played 18. I had some sweet drives and approach shots, but my putting is still suspect.

I am trying out an MVP Ion putter, but not sure that its the putter...I think my form is just off.

Shot even par on the front nine, and +3 on the back.

got to play a few times this week, still need to get the scores loaded into the app so i can post them, but i played the course at liberty university which is actually a 20 hole course, and its just brutal because you are basically throwing through the woods for 15 or 16 of the holes with no year clear path to throw in, and its a pretty long course, i think i was +20 on it, then i played the little easy course at Peaks View on saturday and got a -3 and followed it up yesterday in the rain with a -6. all 3 rounds were a ton of fun, and i cant wait to get back to Liberty ans see if my 2nd time playing it will be any easier.

Played 18 at "The Champs" home course, Cliff Stevens Park this morning, followed by 18 more at Coachman Park.

Pretty decent day off, except for the $164 ticket for doing a California roll through a stop sign.... :?

Im considering another disc to try out down the road, thought the discraft stratus looks kinda interesting, looks like it should turn right with a rhbh throw which i kinda need because i still can't throw much of a forehead to help me with left to right holes. Any one have any likes or dislikes about the stratus ?
