Can anyone chime in with what the downhill was like?

Was it similar to say... Kensington Toboggan hole 3? Less? More?

from what dowd told me(im not at worlds i will be friday and saturday) they are throwing from hole nines tee pad at TR. steeper than toboggan 3, think throing from the top of toboggan 13

Mike can throw a TL a mile though, especially downhill.

Ooops. I ment Robinson.

Nice. Bombing off of hills like that is so much fun.

so what happened with big D Robbie Bratten, i didnt see his name, he is a huge arm bomber...?

I'm guessing he is used to throwing on flat ground rather than off a giant hill. I also wonder if he is 100% b/c he seems to be struggling for an elite player.

yeah good point, robbie is my boy. ive played with him since advanced am's. he has the drive and is learning how to make the putts when they count. he still needs to break thru in a big tourny situation. i think nerves and thinking to much are getting him.

Robbie stayed with us all week. Seemed to be fine, no injuries, just didnt have the week he wanted. Thats probably the same for distance. He was ready and pumped Saturday morning. Sometimes it just doesnt come together. Hes a great kid and will bounce back just fine.

A lot of people were struggling with the downhill aspect of the shot. I thought it was a blast!

People kept trying to throw the huge Anny D lines that they would throw on flat ground and it wasn't working. I threw a hyzer straight down the hill and it went 708 :)

I ended up 7th in the AM D contest and was hoping to have a finals since I know I could have thrown 100' further.

down hill, hyzer a TL and say by to your disc..

Mine was a golf shot with a first run Force. It wasn't a great pull but enough to get the wind working in my favor.

I could have gotten over 800 I think if I had a few more chances.
