Tips for Choosing the Right Discraft Disc for You
Tumblr media
Hey, fellow disc golfers! Ready to up your game with the perfect Discraft disc? Let's look at some tips that'll help you find the best fit for your throwing style and skill level.
1. Know Your Skill Level: If you're a newbie, you'll want discs that are more forgiving and easier to control. Look for discs with higher glide and lower speed ratings. For experienced players, you might want something more specialized, like a high-speed driver or a disc with less glide, for better accuracy.
2. Understand the Flight Ratings: Discraft discs come with four flight ratings: Speed, Glide, Turn, and Fade. Here's a quick rundown:
Speed: How fast the disc needs to go to perform well. Beginners should stick to speeds under 7.
Glide: How long the disc can stay in the air. More glide is great for distance.
Turn: How much the disc turns right (for right-hand backhand throws). Beginners benefit from discs with more turns.
Fade: How much the disc hooks are left at the end of its flight? Less fade means a straighter finish.
3. Choose the Right Type of Disc:
Drivers: Best for long-distance throws. For beginners, start with a fairway driver before moving to a high-speed driver.
Midrange: Versatile and great for controlled, accurate shots. Perfect for beginners to intermediate players.
Putters: Designed for short throws and putting. Focus on finding one that feels comfortable in your hand.
4. Plastic Types Matter: Discraft offers different plastic blends like ESP, Z, and Elite X. ESP is durable and grippy, Z is extremely durable but might be slicker, and Elite X offers great grip but wears out faster. Your choice depends on your preference for feel and durability.
5. Consider the Weight: Lighter discs (150-165g) are easier to throw and good for beginners or those with less arm strength. Heavier discs (170-175g) are more stable in windy conditions and better for power throwers.
6. Get Recommendations: Join disc golf communities, whether online or in person. Ask for suggestions based on your playing style and the courses you frequent. Real-life feedback can be invaluable.
7. Test and Adjust: Sometimes, you need to try a few different discs to see what works best. Don't be afraid to make adjustments based on your performance and comfort.
Conclusion: Choosing the right Discraft disc involves understanding your skill level, flight ratings, and disc types. Consider plastic types and weight and seek recommendations from fellow disc golfers. At Disc Store, we offer a wide range of Discraft discs to match your needs. Visit us to find your perfect disc and elevate your game!

Trilobozoans (also known as triradialomorphs) are some of the more enigmatic members of the Ediacaran biota. In the past their unique three-way-symmetrical body plan was interpreted as linking them to groups like sponges, cnidarians, or echinoderms, but currently they're considered to be their own weird little phylum with uncertain evolutionary affinities, classified no more specifically than "probably some sort of early eumetazoan animal".
Lobodiscus tribrachialis is a newly-described member of this mysterious lineage. It lived in warm shallow marine waters covering what is now Southwestern China, and with an age of around 546 million years it's currently the youngest known trilobozoan, extending the group's time range by several million years.
About 3.7cm in diameter (~1.5"), it had the characteristic trilobozoan disc-shaped shield-like body, with a central depression surrounded by three triradially-symmetric lobes with branching ridges and grooves.
Its body would have been soft but fairly rigid, and it's not clear if it was capable of moving over the seafloor or if it had a more static lifestyle. Like its relative Tribrachidium it was probably a filter feeder, with the grooves on its surface directing water flow towards the central depression – and this surface ornamentation may also have been covered with cilia that actively caught and transported suspended food particles.

A women’s disc golf tournament (Music City Open) was delayed this morning because of a mass shooting threat, saying people would be shot if Natalie Ryan was allowed to play.
Natalie is playing now, and she’s playing a good game. I cannot imagine having to go out there and do this thing you’re doing for love knowing that someone wants to kill you and all your competitors because they hate you (or what you represent) that much.
Natalie Ryan is a trans woman. The initial reaction to her was to bar her from women's matches entirely, and change men’s to “mixed”. They rewrote the rules of the entire sport because of one mid-level player. The change to main league to allow anyone to enter has remained, though of course it’s still mostly men, but trans women can now compete in women’s if they’re able and willing to provide proof of their ongoing hormone levels.
Anyway, I hope Natalie Ryan has a wonderful weekend and good things happen to her. And I hope the transphobe who threatened her and the event chokes on something and dies.

If you could make a "sports" anime about any less popular game/sport/competition you want, which would you choose?
board game, card game, playground game, sport, whatever. if you could have an anime meticulously describe the rules and play of any game while making it look incredibly cool, which would you choose?
My brother and I always talk about how much we want a disc golf anime.

I think that instead of politicians arguing over peoples rights to live for votes, they should argue over if golf is a valid sport. I think it would be funny, they could keep themselves up in arms about that for at least twenty years. The rich old white guys would be defending golf with everything they have, rednecks would be talking about how stupid it is. Everyone else could just mind their own business and live in peace.
