11 Things I learned in ACC 255

This semester I learned a variety of useful online skills. I will list them below to ensure there are 11. 1) How to create and utilize my own blog 2) How different blog posts are more effective for different situations. For example when comparing products a review post is better than just describing two products. 3) I learned that you can almost log into everything through Google and that they have pretty efficient software 4) Pillar articles were a fun way to describe how to complete a task. 5) I learned that Cafepress makes product customization extremely easy. 6) Starting your own business sounds a lot scarier than it really is. 7) If you want to post HTML code the easiest way to do so is to pay 8) I have a lot more respect for bloggers, I used to think they were people just complaining or telling their life story. 9) I learned a lot more about disc golf by creating all these disc golf articles 10) E-business seem a lot easier to run than a brick and mortar store. Less maintenance and electronic payment systems. 11) Creating a business is fun when you do something you're passionate about.

How to Approach Things

As you continue playing, there will always be that distance of uncertainty from the basket. Do you putt or do you approach? This is not as simple as it is in ball golf. There is no specified green (usually) on a disc golf course. My general rule is that if the basket is over 80 feet away, I would approach. This will vary person to person based on how far one is willing to push their putting. MY putting range is 80 feet. This means that I am more confident standing in one spot and using just my body weight and snap to putt the disc towards the basket. I define an approach as a shot that you take with normal follow thru. Putting is not normal follow thru (for those players whom remain stationary when they drive, this excludes your form) because your motion is far more stationary when you throw. Think of putting as an aggressive toss. It is more likely to go in, but much less likely to achieve distance. If there is a massive curve or obstacle in the way of the basket, it is recommended not to putt. The reason being is that when trying to apply a large hook to a putt, the arm is likely to jerk more as you are trying to exert more force on your arm. When you apply too much force to your arm, you are likely to release later and higher causing your disc to pop up and lose distance. The approach discs that I use are the Drone and Super stingray mostly. The stingray can be used for any back hand straight shot and the drone can be used for and forehand shot especially a hook shot. They contrast each other heavily and offer an opportunity to escape from more obscure lies.

Old versus New

Recently I had purchased a newer model of a outter I have used over the last six years. My old Aviar Driver (a putter with the word driver in it yes) is worn in to say the least. Still in working condition, but I decided let's give the new one a shot. While I have not played them against each other yet I have noticed many things have not changed between the two models. The newer model is the same size and shape. I managed to get it in a heavier weight which I like, but the stability is the same (or at least the same compared to when the older version was new.) The speed flight pattern and fade are all the same. The newer model does not tend to turn as much which I tend to like for I do like using these putters as drivers. In fact my first hole in one was with the original putter. The hole was only 215 feet, however the disc works very well as a short range driver. Both models could be used for every function of the game. The new model is the new G star plastic. This makes the disc gummier and more flexible. Better for grip and holding onto chains when entering the basket. I do not like driving with gummier plastics but the feel is still something I am getting used too. Overall I have my old best friend in a new model and I could not be happier.

Cafe Press Product Review

Today I’m going to promote two of my own products. My first product is an Ultralight baby hat. This one-size fits all hat has a few different choices in color. These choices include soft Sky Blue, Petal Pink, Kiwi, and Cloud White. To add a little style, the hat is constructed like a beanie with a folded edge. This hat will surely keep your child’s head warm at the disc golf course. Say its windy, this hat keeps your child from getting cold and irritated. 90% of the heat in the body is lost through the head but this baby hat is 6.1oz and made of 100% ring spun cotton. This makes it nothing but warm, soft and comfortable for your child. My second product is a case for an iPhone 4/4S. This case has a clear exterior with a choice of grey or black bumpers and displays the word Disc Golf across the back. The case has a hard shell to protect the phone from any collisions. If you are a disc golfer and have an iPhone 4/4s this case is for you. With a slick finish this case is very appealing making it easy to flaunt off to your friends and fellow disc golfers. The case fits perfect around the phone, it cradles it keeping it tight so it wont fall out or be damaged. The case also fits so that both the headphone jack and the charging jack are still accessible.

(CLICKBANK) Review of Vert Shock and Secret Skill

Today I'm going to review Vert Shock and their psychology that they used in order to help promote their product more efficiently. They right away started their view out with a tall man dunking a ball, that continued for about a minute and a half of just constant impressive basketball moves. They impressed their audience right from the start. He was demonstrating what someone can accomplish with the shoes that he was wearing. They increase your vertical jump by 9 to 15 inches. It can improve your jump so much that you will be jumping so high that your head will reach the rim. At the end of the video they had the professional that was doing all the dunks talk about how his shoes helped his achieve his dream. If a shoe can improve your vertical jump by on average over a foot it could be the difference of winning the game or not. With the price of under $50, that price could not be beat for the positive outcomes that it will create.

The second product that I've decided to promote was the secret soccer skill. Why be stuck goingvnowhere with your soccer experience? All you have to do is follow a few simple steps and you can be on your way to being a star! I mean the cartoon is a clincher.  Anyone who can draw that fast must know what they are doing.  This guy's secrets are next level I mean he is incredible.  He can draw at such rapid speeds and he knows a thing or two about collegiate soccer.

Stingray review

One of my favorite mid range discs is the super stingray and the regular stingray disc.  The stingray is an old model that Innova has produced for years.  Before the specific production of mid range drivers, the stingray was considered a mid range driver.  Both models have a lot of glide.  This disc will hold and line and continue on that path for a long time.  This means that a very straight throw will stay straight for a long time because of the glide and stability.  The disc is understable (the super model is slightly more stable) and will easily turn if enough angle is put on it. The low fade that each model has makes sure that when the disc slows down and is using glide to gain more distance, the disc will not finish or tail off very far to the right. This disc can be used to approach and I normally use mine as a second shot when my disc is further than 80 feet from the basket in reasonable wind conditions.  Due to the glide these models have in a tailwind I could throw one of these around 400 feet with solid form.  My favorite place to use this disc is one a tight wooded course with a short distance to the pin.  Throwing the stingray with a lot of spin will cause it to go in a very straight line. If your shot is online away from the trees, it is very likely to stay on that path.  I would rate these discs both five stars.  The best understable approach disc that can be used in a variety of situations even in moderate wind.
