Im looking for video footage on people throwing accurate long distance rollers. That type of footage is nearly non-existant and I cannot find the one or two that Blake had on his website. If anyone has footage of some sweet roller shots please let me know. I am trying to round out my roller ability this summer and have been working with an old original N.O. Teamer that has relocated to my home town from New Orleans due to Katrina. He knows his stuff, but footage of others will help me find my own groove and see what all the successful throwers are doing the same on.

Thanks in advance,

LBS

one of my best lines!

Bump. Still looking for online footage, or someone willing to share footage over highspeed. Shoot, if someone has the 2000 USDGC they will let me borrow, id be happy. Still trying to tune my roller.

what type of roller are you trying to throw?

controlled? sky? turnover? distance?

they are all different throws. the video i have posted is a controlled roller.

Blake that brings up a good point, I throw a sky roller for distance is there a better roller option to get max D? I can roll maybe 25-35 past my air shots with optimal conditions (short grass, left to right tail wind, no pop up stumps lurking to shoot me off course :)

All three. Each has its place and particular purpose. I can throw a controlled roller about 400, a sky roller about 450, and dont use a turnover roller much, but can hit about 450 with it as well.

I am one of those people who can read about it and visualize it enough to go out and perform it with success on the first throw, but would also like video to critique. It would be nice to see a full footage video of exactly how far that roller went and did it S, was a straight for most of the run, did it cut or fade? I am pretty analytical about footage i watch and will repeat, loop, and slow-mo footage till it hurts.

P.S. Blake, when are the videos hitting for the DGR? I cant wait much longer, not with Scott Stokely releasing his final DVD.

yes. a long turnover roller that covers about 80% of your average long golf D in the air will have some freakishly long rolls. basically with these you'll want to throw something very flippy with a long hyzer flip line that eventually lands and rolls. the idea with these is to land them when the disc is moving quite slow at the end of its flight and landing it nearly vertical. if you've ever thrown a low speed roller you probably know that they don't really turn topside... they just keep going and going until they hit something or finally tip over. generally you can get rolls of at least 100' and upwards of 250' on these types of throws. so basically, take your avg drive, multiply by 0.8 and add 100'.

i will say this is not the safest shot out there...

cody: i'm the same way about footage. my recommendation is to pick up nearly every piece of dg video you can.

as for my dvd's... i've had a bunch of equipment failures with my editing computer as well as some camera problems. i'm still struggling filling up music for the dvd's as well... i'm pushing for end of the summer, but it may or may not happen depending upon how smoothly things go.

May have to do a shout out to people doing some techno and trance on their PCs to fill the gap. Might even be able to find some public domain music or music that copyrights have run out on.

Still having trouble finding anyone local to me that has the 2000 USDGC. Buying DVDs get expensive! Just had someone PM me about having the 2004 Marshal Street video for me to borrow, any good footage on their I should look for?

Is this Bruce Willis cause I thought he was the last boy scout.

Bump Bump...

Anyone wanna submit some footage?

This webpage will have the most videos. I would check the other column.

Good luck.

Right. Blake does have some fair amount of roller footage. Kinda hard to know what style to imitate if you dont see how far and what path the disc travels though. Did pick up the 2000 USDGC and it has a fair amount of rollers in it that people did not throw in the 2005 at all.

discgolftv.com has some good footage in their coverage videos, you usually get to see the path of the roller

some good footage of drivers on the new discgolftv.com news report

You really have to lean into it.

that guy is good. ;)
