Advice:
Don't let one mistake in your round get to you. Everyone makes mistakes, and some days are worse than others, just don't get discouraged. Remember why you play this sport, and don't let your head game take control.
Goals:
I want to be the first woman to throw 500 feet!
Additional comments:
SuperSonic
The Sonic is a great transition disc for those more familiar with throwing a big lid. It is easy to control on the course. It is also great for playing catch.
Starfire
The Starfire is my go-to driver. The width of the rim suits my hand which gives me confidence. I throw the Star Line version because it has perfect stability and is extremely durable.
KC Aviar
I really love the KC Aviar for putting. They are stiffer than some of the other Aviars, so I always feel like I can trust it even when it gets windy.
