News and Updates Archives - 2001 Archives - January-June 2002 11-24-02 News: As for an update of my status as to the long time in between updates and the lack of new articles etc., I'm quite busy with classes for the time being and have been since September. The last round I threw was about 6 weeks ago and I blew my shoulder. Nothing serious but I decided to rest it until next season. I will continue to update once ever week or so as I receive new reviews.

New Reviews: 9-03-02 News: Got a few new reviews posted. I know I said I was going to do a large update before classes started but I just didn't get around to it and didn't really have any ideas jumping out at me. Things will probably slow down a bit for me for the next few weeks but hopefully reviews will keep rolling in. New Reviews: 8-28-02 News: The site hit 10,000 hits yesterday. Wow.

Some people are already sending in some videos to be included in the Player Throw Analysis section that will be launching in the next 2 weeks. I've redone the Disc Selection Guide and hoping to add more to that. For those who haven't checked em out, there are some new disc golf surveys and a message board. I'll try to get cracking on the new site sections soon but I've been having some computer troubles lately and that may have to wait until I get those straightened out. 7-22-02 New Reviews: 7-21-02 News: The new site is live. Hope you all like it. Please email me if anyone finds broken links other than ones to discs or products that have no reviews. I'm fairly burned out on html editing so it might be a few days until my next update. I have some ideas in the works including a new article and the new Player Throw Analysis section that will be launching in the near future featuring video and frame by frame breakdowns of player's throwing techniques. The first set are going to be of some footage I shot at a supertour last month and I'm hoping to add some additional footage as well. If you would like to be featured in this section and have some video or could shoot some video of yourself, email me and I can let you know what I have in mind. The Technique Troubleshooter has been updated to version 2.4. 7-17-02 News: Have a new review posted as well as a revision of another review. I added some footage displaying the tendon bounce to my bent elbow follow-up article as well as added some to the technique troubleshooter. Look for some major changes in the site in the very near future. New Reviews: 7-12-02 News: Well, I finally broke down and bought a video capture device. I've added some pictures and video of the short arm putt in action and hopefully this will make the article easier to understand. Also, for those looking to get better insight on the bent elbow technique, I have added pictures and video of Ron Russell's drive. I will be adding some analysis soon and working on a format where I can hopefully expand to show the driving motions of more top pro players. If you think this is helpful, please drop me an email and let me know as I'm feeling rather down about dropping $70 :( 7-07-02 News: I have finished and posted the new article on putting entitled "Short Arm Putting". I'm anxious for feedback so please drop me an email if you have any questions or want to share your experiences with it. I should have some new reviews posted by the end of the week for the new Innova CE Teebird T and the Discraft Storm. My midterms are over so I'll hopefully have more time to throw this coming week. 7-06-02 News: Got a new review posted. I'm learning some new plastic so hopefully more reviews will follow as time allows. The putting article isn't turning out as I expected it to but I will make another attempt at it soon, maybe even tonight. Nothing really new other than that. Drop me an email if you have any ideas for new content. New Reviews: 7-02-02 News: Wow. Today is the site's 1-year anniversary. Looking back, I'm not going to say anything like "I can't believe a year has gone by..." because it's very much believable for me. What I am pleasantly surprised with is this site has become more than I had ever expected it would. Thanks to everyone that helped support me and made this possible. A big shout-out thanks to Martin H. for providing some respectable webspace, David M. and the guys at Gateway for helping with "the cause" and convincing me my opinions are worth a darn, Lyle J. who has been so helpful to me in introducing me to the disc golf world, Dave D. for helping me understand the mechanics of the throw and putting up with my endless barrage of questions, Lizz A. and Brian D. for providing another medium for me to give my disc opinions, Chris S. for fixing my throw and clicking the lightbulb on in my head, Ron J. for supporting my ideas on the future of the sport, and to all those that have supported me in any way or submitted reviews. Thanks again, this couldn't have happened without you. Based on the results of my surveys, I am pleased to say that the majority of site readers are those of the target audience I had initially intended. I'm not sure exactly where it will go, but I'm hoping for bigger and better things for this site in this next year. Back to Main Page |
