angled throw - 2004/07/15 16:58I have a throw that I release on an angle so i have great difficulty getting good distance out of many discs. I have found that the Valkyrie DX is great for me because it has a tendancy to turn back over. I was wondering if anyone had any other suggestions for discs to use or if they thought it was worth it to upgrade to a CE valk. (pls don't suggest that I learn how to throw flat )
Thanks

Re: angled throw - 2004/07/15 21:37a lot of newbies i notice dont sometimes follow through they have an early angled release, this could be your problem. form is key if you want to have a good solid strait throw. watch some pros or someone with a good solid throw, this helped me a lot, then use what works best, practice getting a nice good follow through and a strait throw then work on your distace dont go for distance first. no need for a ce valk work with the one u got.

Re: angled throw - 2004/07/16 07:12Unless you just want an incremental increase in distance, you'll need to learn to throw flat. Throwing an understable disc may help you learn, though.
If you're just looking for discs, anything understable will work well. You've already discovered the Valkyrie (the CE will be more overstable, so you probably won't like it as much) but the Leopard, Cheetah, XPress, Archangel, Dragon, Pro-D XL, and Stratus are all long range, understable drivers.
Also, the less expensive plastics normally turn over easier and are longer as well. Lighter weight discs will have the same effect.
If you want something that turns over more than a Valk, I'd try out the Archangel, maybe even in the 150g class. It's known for being understable and having lots of glide.
