Oh cool - didn’t realize a service like that existed. Might need to check it out - thanks for the tip! 🙂

Nice! Iron on / steam press? They look super great. My mom helped the boy make an alternate-design Camp Half Blood shirt that way (he has 3 now 😆). Maybe he’ll talk her into making the Jupiter one.

(He wants a Camp Jupiter shirt too. This year he got a Roman centurion costume and went as Frank Zhang - not as simple, but not too bad 😆)

My son got a Camp Half Blood shirt & went as Percy last year too. Absolutely loved it, and (of course) still wears the shirt all the time. Definitely a win.

But I thought this was "wrong"? I'm pretty sure most of the advice I've seen suggests your weight stays back and only "pushes against" the brace foot?

Will check out the vid - lot of conflicting info out there. Increasingly convinced there are few rules that are always true for everyone. 🤷‍♂️

See that's what I THOUGHT. A while back, I started "leaning in" a bit with the leading shoulder as I go into the brace. It helped get a stronger pull-through and follow-through level without swinging my arm up into a wild hyzer, so it keeps the nose down and the release more level...

As someone who does a fair bit of diy house/car stuff, youtube vids are an *amazing* resource.

Don't feel like I snap "right" either. It rips out. I can feel & hear it. Spin feels ok - I can get some good turn out of <8 speeds. Just don't get the glide/distance though.

Man I've actually *done* that and it is *not* and "improvement" on my mediocre distance 😆

There is definitely a "throw this more down than it feels like you should" factor in it though...

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

I’m sure I don’t do either of these right, even when I can hear the snap and throw almost into the ground.

The two biggest "Nos" for throwing in disc golf:

* Nose up
* No snap

The latter is easier to solve then the former, but both of them are killers for me. Nose angle is the biggest challenge

Too bad I was going for the far basket (right).

Started playing some putter-only rounds. Proxies + Envies today. Played all 4 on every hole and marked a round-up avg score.

Don’t know how much more I’ll do it (not as fun - can’t get some of my lines w/ putters), but I’m learning some stuff & accuracy was surprisingly good overall.

On that note though, I have *also* noticed that when I feel like I crush it, it's almost always a pull to the right. This suggests to me that it is, indeed, some kind of timing/positioning thing.

Someday I'll figure it out.

Maybe.

I have a 155g neutron Insanity that was my go-to for a long time. When I last played with it though, it didn't go meaningfully further than my Cicada.

My typical pref. weights are low 160s for drivers, but honestly, I don't see much distance difference between my 159g Cicada and my 175g. 🤷‍♂️

Nice.

Knopfler is one of my very favorite guitarists. I don't do his fingerstyle technique, but I love his tone and musicality. Sultans is some of the best guitar work ever IMO.

Started doing some putter-only rounds and noticed more wobble at full power. Going to try to smooth that out and see what it teaches me. Grasping at straws.

My brother-in-law has recently started hitting 350+ with some faster discs - he thinks I should try some 10-12 speeds (i throw 7/8 max).

Oof.

I feel like I should be able to do this at least a *little* better. I've been told my form is actually pretty good - it has to be some kind of timing thing, but I haven't been able to work it out.

Also, current #office space.

After some coworker rotation, we’ve ended up in an “overhead lights usually off in the morning” situation.

I might further point out that this wasn't "intentional". It almost certainly wasn't even the best tool for the task - it's just what was handy.

I didn't realize the connection til afterward.

So the boy is 10 now.

Fun little observation: for *my* 10th birthday (~35 years ago), I got a Swiss army knife.

This morning I used the screwdriver in that pocketknife to put batteries in something he got for *his* 10th.

Field work. One of these days where I get pissed off at this sport.

Have played 3-7 times a week for about 2 years, and every aspect of my game has improved considerably-

Except distance.

I have workshopped every tip I’ve ever seen; no real difference.

Apparently stuck at 250 forever.

Great #dnd session tonight. Some big twists for players - and an ongoing rough encounter. #cliffhanger
