Disc Golf Analysis – Throw Average Stability
A few weeks back I wrote a disc golf analysis article on the Bag Average Stability (BAS) metric. That was a measure of the average stability of all the discs in your bag intended to help you determine if throwing more stable discs overall may increase the consistency of your game. Near the end of the article I made a strong point that calculating your BAS is pointless if you include discs that you never throw. So as a follow up to that article I’m introducing the disc golf metric of Throw Average Stability (TAS).

Prodiscus Jokeri Review
Infinite Discs recently hooked us up with a Prodiscus Jokeri to review and this was a fun putter to throw! Prodiscus’ Jokeri putter did everything that it was designed to do. It was a very stable disc that held a straight line and faded hard and predictably at the end and it felt more comfortable in my hand than many discs in its category.

Innova Whale Review
The Whale is the next putter up in Innova’s recent trend of torque resistant discs. How is it different than the company’s flagship putter, the Aviar?

Latitude 64 Pure Review
The Latitude 64 Pure is giving my Gateway Wizard serious competition for a spot in my bag, and that says an awful lot. Tim over at mindbodydisc.com pointed me toward the Pure and I’m convinced he just wanted to watch me obsess over which amazing putter would win the battle for a spot in my disc golf bag.

Finding Lost Disc Golf Discs
A beautifully long flying anhyzer suddenly hit by a rogue gust of wind, your foot sliding off the edge of an elevated tee pad in mid rotation, or just a strong grip-lock from excitedly trying to crush your drive. If you haven’t spent time looking for a lost disc golf disc after one of these occurrences then you’re probably not a disc golfer, but if you’re reading this then you most likely know that dreadful feeling of estimating which pile of brush you’ll be trekking through.

Chain Cutter’s Union Subscription Review
I first learned about the Chain Cutter’s Union on episode 2 of the Zen Disc Golf Podcast. I had heard about curation services before, like LootCrate, where a subscriber receives a box of curated goodies on some predefined schedule. I was immediately interested in how this concept could apply to disc golf. After all, who wouldn’t want to receive a new disc, shirt, and more, each quarter?

Disc Golf Analysis – Bag Average Stability
It’s a widely accepted theory that throwing stable to over stable discs typically improves the consistency of your throws. Certainly there are exceptions and some large trade-offs, but hyzer throws (all other things being equal) are statistically more forgiving of errors than anhyzer throws, as described by www.heavydisc.com.

Discmania P1 Maniac and P1x Review
The P1 Maniac from Discmania is known as a soft and floppy Aviar. The P1x adds a small bead to the putter without changing the flight characteristics much at all. These straight flying putters are similar enough in flight that we’ll review them together.
