Jaded Sun; Destroyer to shine.

May 13, 2:02 PM
 





|       a couple weeks since last post

Saturday and sunny, at least by the time I came to life. Chiming tails of an overcast morning rang as I purchased my band-aid. I walked to my car with a few new discs and a wealth of learned knowledge from gathering the insight of Princeton Sports: large selection of INNOVA discs covering the angles. The selling piece is Jeff's knowledge.

-Thanks man, helped my game.

At first glance I did not see what I wanted. I was going to play through my wounded bag and order online after being slightly jaded from a failed attempt to rbag with discraft. I was turned to appreciate what was in front of me; a wall of INNOVA discs. A very informed representative greeted my inquiries with experience and knowledge.

I swayed towards the Destroyer and trusted Wraith; Pro Plastic. I began the day with two drives gaining a feel for my new discs. I received the expected placement of my Wraith, 'S'-hooking to lay just left of the pin. Surprisingly my Destroyer took fame by cutting through the air to strike on the right side of the pin. Yes, yes, I know the Destroyer is supposed to fade hard to the left with a backhand drive. So how did it sit to the right? I over compensated the higher fade and speed, adjusting my pin orientation to curve around a tree. At the moment the throw is not refined. kinda'- luck. Everyone knows how a new disc will shine before you refine. This disc can quickly cut a turn; Hard, to the point of me loosing it. I learned my $15 lesson on hole 10 at druid. Alligator 1, David 0: a new Destroyer for fit.

Bruising day.

10% chance of precipitation. 30%: Doesn't seem like much of a difference but apparently this 20 percent  warrants a vicious thunderstorm image.  The hour drive to Cordus Park might not be the best idea today: Very disappointing.Cordus Park's... Read More

Golf on the brain

April 26, 1:31 PM
A round of golf- how long will it last?  Last night I squeezed 18 into post work play, arriving at 7:15pm. A lost disc pushed our Druid departure past 8:30pm- not bad. Light was a little forced meaning the final holes were lit by an eye's adjustment... Read More
