an important article

Today I would like to look at a blog from Subtraction By Subtraction.  Personally I like this article because it focuses more on the mental aspect of the game rather than just discs and physical attributes.  Training yourself on how to mental tackle the game is quite important.  As mentioned in the article, it is important to only focus on the upcoming shot.  It can become easy to question your game after making a poor shot or thinking too much about your score.  The best solution to this is to just have fun.  Relax yourself, focus on making one quality shot at a time, and make mental notes on how you can improve your game from your previous shot.  Another important part of your game is to not overcompensate correction of your throws.  As also mentioned in the article, we all have an idea of how our throw is suppose to go in our heads.  We may have the right idea but produce the wrong throw.  For example if I am trying to throw a short fade of about 200 ft on a drive and I expect a massive fade line so I release the disc early on a sharp angle to induce the fade. Guess what it did not fade enough and I end up feet to the right of the hole.  The correct course of action would be to put less angle on the disc, release the disc later, or a small combo of both.  However, you do not want to completely throw away the drive you just had.  While it may no have turned out well at all, the small change you make to your throw will make a big impact.  I would only try to change on variable (angle for example) at a single time.  This will help reduce the frustration of too many changing parts causing errant throws.  Disc golf is a game that requires a calm mind. Focus on one thing at a time whether it is throwing mechanics or the shot you just took.
