The problem

Sound familiar?

Straight is the hardest shot in disc golf. Good course managers don't throw straight. They throw curves they can predict, and they plan the miss.

What's inside

The three shapes: hyzer, flat and anhyzer
The hyzer-flip, your easiest straight shot
Reading a hole backward from the basket
Risk and reward: when to go for it
Approach shots that leave an easy putt
Trouble shots, the OB rules and a course notebook

Disc golf research

Studies and official sources about disc golf itself.

Borrowed science

Research from other sports, clearly flagged as an inference.

Coaching consensus

What good coaches teach. Useful, not lab-proven.
