I got an etsy shop to modify their cup holder print to fit in the corner of my disc bag. This helps to hold extra water bottles for my GF when she comes play and maybe a can of insect repelant. It also helps keep my disc upright because I dont carry enough to fill up the bag completely. I think it is pretty cool.

Sidenote, what stable/overstable discs 7-10 speed would you recomend?

Best shot I got! I love how disc golf pics look in low res. It's cool that you can make out stance, and forms like "nose" or "hat", but nothing beyond that. Only the essentials.

Multi color prints are difficult with a single nozzle printer, especially with TPU. But my Goeringer Discs Apple Blossom and Cherry Blossom now have that one of a kind flair in my bag after enough attempts to make it work!

If you're interested in checking out my discs, I sell them at GoeringerDiscs.com. They're both PDGA Approved!

Hey everyone! I posted the custom chalk bag my wife made me a while back, and since it got so much love, she’s seriously considering opening an Etsy shop!
I love mine because it’s super unique and completely refillable. Before she takes the leap, we wanted to gauge interest what would you reasonable pay for a custom, refillable chalk bag? Would love to hear your thoughts!"
As well as any other ideas who’s guys might have for handmade disc golf accessories!

Disc Advice Bag review for a new player

Post image
• Upvotes

Been playing for a few weeks now and kind of went crazy with getting discs. I really love those mid range as I feel like I can throw them the best and they do what I want. I have a couple of specific ones with the archangel which I can throw well on a specific hole that needs some long turn. I max out at around 320ft with the IT and Cicada.

Course Photo Tangled chains on new baskets?

Post image
13 Upvotes

Explored this new pitch n' putt at a school to check out the Innova basket model recently used at Winthrop and Ivy Hill. The Discatcher Tour will catch just about anything from what I've experienced, and is built really well.

However, it seems that a few of these baskets here have the chains around the poles tangled up. I couldn't figure out a way to undo them, so I imagine the school faculty would have to take off the band and reset the chains. If anyone has experience with these, have you ran into this issue before? If it's a design flaw, it's not a good look with these baskets costing almost $500 each.

Discussion Powerball Cup was terrible.

234 Upvotes

Watching discgolf was never as boring as it was this weekend. I am sorry but what even was that? Contrary to the opinion of this sub, I think the DGPT is a competent organisation and makes the right choices most of the time. But man did they fumble the ball here.

The Course:

Why the hell are we playing at Ivy Hill. This course is literally the worst course on tour. It's not even close. So many boring brain-dead hyzer shots. Only a few shots that are really exciting. Some examples:

Hole 2: Just way too easy. You cannot have 29 out of 32 Birdies. That makes it pretty much a 17-hole-course.

Hole 3: Has potential, but why is the tree in the beginning not a Mando to the left. That would make it much more interesting. The players would have to decide if they play an aggressive flex-shot or lay-up with a forehand and go big on the second shot into a tight green. But no it's just another hyzer from the tee.

Hole 4: Luck fest.

Hole 6: Luck fest. Especially from the long tee. There is no decision making here. Just chuck it at the trees and see what's happening.

Hole 10: The idea is great, but the fact that half the shots just stand up and roll god knows where, make it once again a luck fest.

Hole 11: Just a weird hole. On paper it looks fine but I just can't stand it. :D

Hole 14: The A placement is great. The B placement is too easy and it's not enticing to go for eagle.

Hole 18: Way too easy, especially if you can play it for par. No drama on the final hole.

It's just infuriating to me. The course is pretty much the same since 2024 worlds. Almost nothing has changed. The holes were already bad back then. And the property actually looks great. One might think a way better course could be designed on this, with big downhill shots, nice water carries and tricky landing zones. I hope they work on the course for next year but I honestly doubt it. At least it won't be the tour championship anymore.

The format:

I think this was bound to happen. That the last three tour championships were tight was more of a coincidence than anything else. Yes of course you should give the best players an advantage. But I don't think this is the right way. The format with the quarterfinals and semifinals we had back in the days was actually great. I can understand that the DGPT felt like they had to change it because Nathan Queen became the Tour Champion out of nowhere, but he honestly deserved it. He fought through four rounds of Discgolf and beat the best players of the season in two of them. That's a well deserved win in my book. I'd hope they bring that back, but I doubt it. But something has to change after the snooze-fest we had this weekend. I think the advantage for the best players has to be smaller. I am also open for making the points champion after the last tournament the official tour champion and separate the Pro Tour Finale from it.

Sorry for my long rant. Might have got a bit carried away. But to me, and I also think to many other discgolf fans, the Pro Tour championship should be the biggest and most exciting non-major event of the year. But with a boring course and a format that practically eliminates half the field, before the tournament even starts, automatically from being in contention for the win, it just isn't.

Discussion Need advice for shorter throws

4 Upvotes

I throw around 100m drives but my accuracy drops really hard if I only need 30-60m. I overshoot a lot and if I try to reduce my power my accuracy and release timing gets way worse.

I heard a lot about changing my stance for backhand on shorter throws and keeping my power but don't get anything consistent.

Has anyone advice or a good YouTube video explaining what I could try?

Edit: should've clarified my 100m "drives" are standstill at around 70-80% power with a midranger if I go any lower my problems start.

Hey Disc Golfers,

Some of you may know me, some may not, but I'm the artist behind many stamps and art over the past decade. Sky Gods, Cloud Breakers, DGPT Hero Cards, the most recent NOMEZ and much, much more.

I am currently open for commissions. Whether you need a stamp for a tournament, a personal stamp, a painting, a portrait, hit me up and we can discuss what you are looking for.

Holidays are around the corner so it's a good time to get that special one of a kind art gift as well!

Thanks,
Manny
