Finding the Bullet. How to Adjust Your Angle of Attack During Your Disc Golf X-step.

[@kallevehkapera3078]

Observation of the pro level throws might be right but explanation sounds broscience to me. What you mean with ”inertial center of mass”? 🤔

[@BrianDiscGolf]

What I mean is that different discs have a different center of mass based on their weight distribution. In order to harness the last lever of the swing properly, which is the energy transference from the wrist to the disc, you have to anticipate where that disc's center of mass is going to move. When you accelerate the disc correctly, in an instantaneous burst of energy, you feel a huge spike in weight in the disc's inertial center of mass. That's way out on the rim for putters, and distributed more evenly along the rim in a fast driver. Midranges, as you might expect, are in the middle. "Inertia", in this case, is the disc's weight resisting your attempts to accelerate it. The heavier the disc is due to acceleration, the more inertial resistance you feel trying to speed it up more. This is a simple explanation that ignores the underlying math, but it's a good description of what's happening. Does that make sense? Let me know if you need any other info.
