I'll start this off with I'm an avid Disc Golfer in real life, and I've put some time into this mode of gameplay.
My friend and I play Disc Golf almost exclusively on the Move, it's great. We know the holes by heart, we were rocking along through the championship until we hit gold, and then Rin made us retry her course for about 4 hours; and the worst part wasn't that we were being outplayed, but because of the increased field size, the ratio of "Accidental" throws goes up quite a bit.
My first complaint, is I don't really understand how best to calibrate and then throw the disc. Do you go higher/lower than your head/shoulder, waist, and belt buckle respectively?
Our throws generally are fairly decent, we understand what is "supposed" to happen to get the throws to turn or fade in the proper direction, but against all odds it seems they discs sometimes do exactly opposite of what you expected. Why? We can't come up with any explanations.
I notice a "jitter" in the hand, when you practice swing smoothly. From behind us to forward in one motion it jumps around 25% into the swing, every time all the time.
Backhanded throws, I avoid completely as most of them go strait to the ground. I can't determine how to throw these properly. It seems if I turn my body it doesn't read the throw correct, and if I don't turn my body; the throw is proper but it lacks completely in power, or it just nose dives.
Also, it seems trying to throw a normal disc over an obstacle without a tomahawk is almost impossible. We can throw high turn/fade up and over, but never a strait throw upwards; how is this achieved: The angle of the disc upon release, or the angle the arm travels upon release, or both?
My biggest complaint is my friend can make the disc flip. Neither of us would be able to make this happen in real life. We can't reproduce this effect when we want, but it seems every 10 throws, he will have his disc almost exponentially start heading upwards, and then do barrel rolls on itself. Frustrating to no end, what makes this happen?
So basically, what kind of tips have you got for me?
How much wind up is necessary for a good powered throw?
How much, if at all, do you modify your calibration; and in what ways?
Where is your camera at in relation to your TV, and yourself.
Do you get bull**bleep** throws that make you want to quit the game; like we do?
How do _you_ throw a backhanded throw?
Is it in the wrist, or the arm power & release point?
Overall this game is sweet, and minus the flaws we personally run into would be epic. It just seems our past 4 hours with the game have been met with nothing but frustration and hatred towards the mechanics it employs.
