That final throw with the cicada was 👌very nice. I was guessing it went 320 ft.
@OsrsCalebАй бұрын
If you want a disc that turns, star roadrunner is my favorite by far. Straight flyer is the undertaker (esp) or Titanium. Road runner for someone who throws 300 ft will most likely be dead straight and the undertaker might finish a bit harder.

@RBFiddy3 ай бұрын
I liked how my Passions flew, and had a few in the bag last season. But, I couldn't get over the beaded rim. Went to Craves and never looked back. 175g Glow Crave goes straight, 167g Plasma Crave for the s-flight and 150g Fission Crave for when I need something flippy. The fission is really fun getting the slow flip to where it juuust starts riding right at the end of the flight.
@mayadisc3 ай бұрын

Using an x step for forehand is totally unnecessary, but the leading with the elbow tucked in tight the whole time, forcing the elbow to be the pivot point and bear all the torque from the whipping action, is the worst advice. That's exactly what caused Eagle McMahon's elbow injury. Caroline Henderson has one of the best tutorials on throwing disc golf forehands - kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5mYf2SYh5Zrb7csi=EiQOhMnQxVCbYfOB
@johnmaher58873 ай бұрын
Agreed that Caroline has good forehand form, and I believe she comes from a softball background, so she knows how to throw. It's also very similar to what Scott Stokely teaches.

Love the content. The thing about the Passion if you do a side by side comparison of a 8 speed disc from another manufacture the rim (wing) are not even close. The passion's rim (wing) is closer to a 6 speed discs by other manufactures? You need to compare the Cicada VS River Vs Maul Vs IT Vs FD they all have very similar rims (wing) and feel.

It's essentially a similar flight to the Crave.

I feel bad about it, but there’s not much I can do to fix it except delete the video & reupload it with the fixed audio. At this point, I’m just trying to take it as a learning experience & do a better job adjusting next time. Hopefully it’s not completely unbearable.

Throwing low and into the ground is usually a sign you're pulling through too quickly or leaning forward during your reachback, which usually leads to being off balance on your plant leg. Notice your ground shot with the Passion you literally fall/off your plant foot. Good content/editing. Keep up the good work 👍

I’m not a huge fan of the passion’s rim either, but I can always rely on it to go straight even after it’s been beat in which is why I still throw it. It’s definitely handy to have but the cicada felt great.
