Spin Dyeing a Disc Golf Disc
There isn't much instruction in this but it is easy enough to figure out. This spin dyeing technique is accomplished by attaching a disc to a variable speed fan to slow it down or speed it up as desired. This will cause the dye to spread slower or faster as you decrease or increase the fan speed.

A good way to spend times indoors preparing a special one-of-a-kind disc to throw when the season starts! Premium plastics - Star, ESP - work the best for dyeing.

A Beginner's Guide to Disc Golf
Perhaps it would have been best to start this blog with this video.
However, I figured at the very least the players in the Clock Tower Disc Golf League already have a basic understanding and, may have a more than basic understanding of the game. Nonetheless, there's always something to be learned even when one steps back to earlier stages. And this video clearly illustrates the nature of disc golf disc's flight tendencies both in the narration and the video footage. So, here's a video on How Discs Fly - A Begineers Guide.

Avery Jenkins on the Backhand Throw
Thought I'd stick with one more video by Avery Jenkins. This one is on the Backhand Throw.
One More Sidearm Post
Here's one more video on sidearm throwing by Avery Jenkins.
His windup reminds me a bit of a softball pitcher's windup.
Just goes to show everyone has a bit different approach but with similar results.

Dave Dunipace of Innova - Tips On Driving Sidearm
Dave Dunipace lays out his take on Driving Sidearm.
Dave Feldberg DG Tip on Hip Position During the Throw
In this video tip Dave Feldberg seems to be describing the problem I've been experiencing as of late. Feels like I'm falling over or losing my balance at the end of my throw off the teepad. Been watching the Will Shusterick video on driving but he doesn't explain the hip facet like Feldberg does. A different perspective that I hope will be very beneficial for me.

Mark Ellis' Putting Confidence Program
Mark Ellis, of Discraft, created a "Confidence in Putting" program where he states you should use whatever putt feels right and works for you. As with a lot of things in life, it will take a person time to find out what is best. Take a look at the video below for a complete insight into Mark's program. Practice does help to make perfect. This program has at its root building confidence by practicing 30 minutes a day for 30 days. But there is more in Mark's words.
Here's a recent account of HeavyDisc's experience with and validation of Mark's 30 day program. Enjoy!

Dave Dunipace's Putting Approach
Dave Dunipace, of Innova, presents his approach to putting with an emphasis on wrist action. He's been around for a number of years in disc golf. Probably in the PDGA Legend status age wise (my guess). Watching this video is definitely worthwhile as he does walk the walk and talk the talk! With EASE!!!
