what do people use to keep the disc from slipping out of their hands
i saw this product called disc dry and wondered if it worked
i noticed poeple using dirt inform of the hand to get rid of the moisture but for me would that make the disc slip more

J. Michael Barry showed me something baseball players use called "Gorilla Gold Grip Enhancer".

I found some locally with a google search and it works really well. I would probably only use it in wet conditions but I don't see why you couldn't use it all the time.

There are several people I see who use birdie bags to get some grip when their hands start to get sweaty. What's the problem you're having? Sweaty.. dried out?

Dry hands is the answer. I have sweaty hands and this stuff keeps me dry. Birdie bags work very well also.

Yep. I add one onto any order that's more than one disc. They're great. I have a nasty tendency to lose them though...

Just lick my index, thumb and middle finger, I like a little moisture.

Apparently you don't have poison ivy or goose poo on your course. :p

I use my fingers . . . but when they get slippery from dew or sweat or whatever, I use either a chalk bag or a birdie bag. I prefer the chalk bag.

Here's a great product. (http://www.frizmart.com/pd_griprite_rosin_sack.cfm) Saved many of my rounds in the 100 degree heat!

Wouldn't a rosin bag leave residue on the disc creating more aded weight?

Try using Corn Huskers lotion, I've been using it for over 15 years.

I bought some of this because I have a big problem with grip in the rain. I have had one really rainy day. I was throwing Champion plastic and getting excellent grip (I actually thought better than in dry conditions, but maybe it was just that I was paying attention more). Anyway, I will continue using it. The only problem is you need to re-apply frequently, for me like once every 4 drives.

You apply it as a liquid, and it dries as a powder. I have never used pine tar, but it seems like it would be very sticky. This stuff is not.

This product is my favorite. Goes on wet, then dries to a film, and lasts at least 1 hour of sweaty raquetball. I use it for softball too.
