Just wondering -- I've only ever seen Stokely's, and they're getting pretty old now. When it comes to ball golf, there are magazines filled with how-to tips, videos, dvds, trainers/teachers out the wazoo, but when it comes to Disc Golf, it seems like it's everybody for themselves.
I know there are many folks willing to help, but sometimes you'd like "a pro" or somebody showing you how it's supposed to be done, not how somebody else gets it done.
The Disc Golf Review website is great, but I can't believe there's not more of that as well.
How come?

How come?
Money, time and/or skills to produce media or teach it. As big as it might seem, the disc golf market is still too small to recoup the $20K-$40K to develop a professional video unless you can do it and fund it yourself.

Wow you must be reading our private emails!
We are working on one the treatment and shot list as we speak.
Its going to be about a 90-120 minute DVD.
We will be releasing video clips through the blog on our new website and you tube.
15-20 minutes of just cool shots, mostly using a mix of our Team members and older footage of top players at world championships. ( looking for musicians that are also disc golfers and will be taking in soundtracks to be used for this section). Small money, big marketing opportunity :)
10 minutes about the game and why it is so good for park departments to install new courses. Course design and installation, with Safety as the focal point!
A full product catalog with video of how our gear works from the discs to bags and baskets.
Some really techy stuff for those players into the engineering behind the product development probably 20-30 minutes. Here we will explain why the dimple technology is the wave of the disc golf future and the philosophies behind our patent pending technologies.
Footage of Polymers being blended, disc being made at the injection molding machine, hot stamped, Tye dyed and even stacking and boxing for proper storage.
A serious in depth instruction section from grips to reach backs , run ups, launch trajectories and the most important disc selection and teaching course management!
If we have enough room we will get into velocities and rotations, if not we could probably do an hours just on how a disc really works in flight and how how many differnt styles of throws there are in the game!
30-60 minutes!
Of course this project wont happen overnight and we may wind up releasing section of it if it drags on too long!
Have fun and enjoy some pretty cool video when you get a chance to veiw the new dvd! :cool:
Is your mouth getting wet yet?
Mine is just think about putting this together!!
Any young video-graphers with their own equipment looking for an internship for the summer? ;)
