Just not sure these OLD muscles can be trained (or retrained). :confused:

I'll probably sign up anyway just to give Dave a REAL challenge. :biggrin2:

Sooooooo Blue Lake Park will become a reality? Way cool! :yay:

So this will be every Saturday for 5 weeks?

(Xmas and New Years Day are on Saturdays right at 5th and 6th weeks.)

[snap7times]

vector - do you want to get better or not, sacrafice bro! ;) I am totally interested, however, shelling out 100 in one payment is pretty much out of my budget, however, 2 payments of 50 or 3 of 35 would work much more into my favor and of course the other half would be more likely to approve.... possible?

[DanD]

too bad it conflicts with Team Disc Golf....

[jevon]

Not for me it doesn't. That's what you get for moving to the minors!

[Bullseye Disc Golf.com]

Dave wants to make it flexible to fit around as many people's schedules as possible. He mentioned that Sunday was probably not a good day being that most NFL fans want to watch TV all day Sunday so that only leaves Saturdays which also runs into Team Golf.

The other option would be to switch it to Sundays thereby allowing players to do both Team Golf on Saturday and then do Dave's Driving School on Sunday. Seems like everyone's either got a VCR still or some kind of digital recording device so they can tape their "must see" NFL games and watch them later that evening.

Is this a more realistic and player friendly day to do it? Please offer your input. Dave could flip flop from Sat to Sun or Sun to Sat to avoid conflicts with Stumptown Slosh events as well.

Dave brought up the idea of possibly making the lessons Saturday afternoon with the idea of having the lesson after Team Golf which would mean everyone would be warmed up and ready to chuck.

This is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity for disc golfers in Portland to be able to take some serious short cuts with Dave. I think of it as kind of a 2 for 1 deal in the sense that Dave learned and absorbed everything he could from Ken Climo.

Xmas and New Years Saturdays will be skipped to the following Saturday.

It's like all the Portland disc golfers get to be Luke Skywalker and get to benefit from the knowledge and technique of both Obi Wan Kenobi and Yoda. The players that sign up, in essence will be getting the best of both worlds of Kenny and Dave.

DUDE! let's do this! Saturdays work well. Thanks for thinking of us.

[snap7times]

I'm in.... who said it had to be on weekends? just stirring the pot... I'm sure DF is gonna flex around our hectic DG winter schedule to make sure as many people can benefit from this awesome opportunity.

[Bullseye Disc Golf.com]

Been getting some emails and I'd like to reiterate what Dave stated in his description. Dave's Driving School is for all levels, young and old, male or female players. There isn't a separate technique for older players or women, it works the same for everyone so people who are interested should not avoid improving their technique just because they don't play PDGA events or have a high player rating or whatever.

Besides all his fancy schmancy stats, Dave is really one of the most ergonomically correct and efficient throwers out there and anyone can benefit from his help. Dave is genuinely passionate about teaching technique and everyone I've seen him work with has improved a lot.

Can't wait to hear about how everyone who signs up is going to be "schooling" their disc buddies, and leaving all their friends in the dust!

[sillybizz]

I really, really want to do this but two things conflict. First off I live 4 hours North, second I work Sundays so if the day is changed I'm out $100 and third the day it starts I'm out of town; mine and yours.

[Bullseye Disc Golf.com]

I am trying to get through to Dave in Australia. It seems like the logical thing for him to do is to offer classes on both days to satisfy everyone's needs. If Dave offers a class on Saturday and a class on Sunday this is the best he can do to fit everyone's schedules.

NFL junkies can go on Saturdays and Team Golfers can go on Sunday and tape their favorite NFL games and watch them afterwards.

I just sent him an email asking if he will do Saturday and Sunday.

I will report back as soon as I hear from him!

[whalekillah]

Sundays work for me, I would spend $100 to improve my game. I have spent more than that in lost plastic.

[Magilla]

Another "wrinkle" in the schedule would be the weekend of Dec 4-5. Dave will be in San Diego along with the rest of Team Oregon at the Southwestern Team Invitational.

:whistler:

[KenGilmore]

FYI, I thought Team Disc Golf was on Sundays too.

[NWDiscer]

FYI, I thought Team Disc Golf was on Sundays too.




ehhh not the real teams.....;)

[thadeouspage]

In. Done. Paid. You name the day, I will be there.

[LegoRules]

FYI below are the dates for the Stumptown C tier Slosh series that will take place in the Portland metro area.

The tentative schedule is:

Slosh #1: 11/13/10 (Saturday)
Slosh #2: 12/19/10 (Sunday)
Slosh #3: 01/08/11 (Saturday)
Slosh #4: 02/20/10 (Sunday)

[Bullseye Disc Golf.com]

It's funny because Dave's clinic hasn't even started yet and I already made a "stunning" technique observation just looking at the pictures of Dave's drives on his Driving School flyer. Don't want to get off topic but there is not a technique thread here and it does apply to Dave's Driving School since he will be addressing this in his clinic.

This is an observation that I have never really heard anyone really talk about so I will appreciate anyone who wants to chime in and elaborate, especially the higher rated players who browse this thread. For all intents and purposes I will call it the "Backhand Axis Alignment Angle" or "Power Tilt."

It appears that there is a stunning similarity amongst the 990 and higher rated backhand players we all observe in the region. There are probably also many 980 and above that share this trait as well, but I would say generally this is a trait you see amongst the 990 and above backhand throwers.

Take a look at the attached image and you will see that I first drew a line from head to toe down Dave Feldberg's body demonstrating the proper alignment, right after the snap. Dave's throwing arm is parallel with his shoulders and you can see the disc has just popped out of his hand. Look how he's lined up from his NOSE to BELLY BUTTON to KNEE to TOE.

What you see is that he positions his body at an approximate 20 degree tilt, which forces all his body weight to lean into the release, thereby generating effortless power and control. This angle is actually similar to the Earth's axis which is not perfectly straight vertical. Earth's axis is actually 23.4 degrees.

What I did next was copy and paste that exact same 20 degree line and pasted it over Tyler Christensen's body where he is throwing a practice roller at hole 1 at Pier Park (2008 Rose City Open Finals.) Tyler's throwing arm is a little earlier than Dave's position but what you see is that the 20 degree angle is identical. Most of us must contort out body to get the disc to land at the correct roller angle, but Tyler accomplishes this with understable disc selection, and throws his roller with a hyzer release angle. If you then watch the YouTube video of Tyler during the actual finals, he is the only one who actually got a roller to stand up correctly and leave himself a putt.

Then I copy and pasted the same line over Brody Miller's drive from the lead card of the 2004 Beaver State Fling showcase final 9. Brody's photo is a little later than Dave's drive, as his throwing arm is already in the back position and his head has already followed through but you can clearly see his body is entirely locked into the 20 degree angle.

Then compare these guys with the 2004 Eugene Celebration Hole 15 random player throwing photos gallery of random card carrying PDGA members from random divisions including Pro Open. This is not to make fun of anybody's form but the point of the idea was to shoot as many peoples drives to see the similarities and differences between random players form and technique.

http://bullseyediscgolf.com/images-photos/2004-Eugene-Celebration-Flash/index.html

What can be observed from this? The majority of players around 990 and above have that 20 degree "axis alignment angle" locked down, while most of the rest of us are zig zag, hunched over, mickey mouse, humpty dumpty, and all over the place except on that nice clean 20 degree line.

It appears that most of us mortal humans are releasing the disc either too straight up and down or too hunched over the plant foot which then negates and throws away getting our body weight into leaning into the disc. Essentially, lost distance and control. The other thing clearly apparent between the average golfers and the 990+ golfers is that the 990+ golfers knees stay very close together (that 20 degree line) and the average golfers legs seem to separate and come apart. the 990+ golfers left knee is bent but both thighs are aligned. Everyone who wishes to improve their technique, should get their disc buddies to shoot a photo of their release from the front of the tee with their cell phones and see how they are lining it up.

The other observation to take into account is that all these photos are taken in FRONT of the tee pad, all with a long zoom lens far enough away to not be a distraction. This alignment is not as easy to see behind the tee pad. So people who are even playing with 1000 rated players would likely not even notice this from behind the tee pad. Disc golf etiquette dictates that you stand behind the person throwing, and so therefore this is easy to overlook.

Hopefully Dave will have a lot to say about the proper footwork to get set up like this, and it will be very interesting to see before / after photos of players who are willing to work on fixing these issues.

Also wondering if the same angle applies to forehand drives?

[Bullseye Disc Golf.com]

OK everybody, I got the OK from Dave for classes on BOTH Saturday and Sunday.

Both classes will begin at 12:00pm NOON to allow out of town golfers to drive here safely without having to depart at some ridiculously early time. This will allow PDX golfers to have a relaxed morning and go out to breakfast and not have to rush.

Dave asked that you please specify with a note when you are on PayPal, which day you want to take the class. This is so he can keep track of who's coming on what day.

I'm pretty sure he's going to allow folks to flip flop their Sat or Sun classes if they must miss one but he want's to avoid having 50 people registered on Sat to show up on Sun and make the Sun class too big and clunky.:rockon:

There is a new flyer attached to reflect the change to both Sat and Sun at NOON. Can't wait to see the results this class has on all these students, it's going to be a lot of fun. I feel sorry for everybody's disc buddies who aren't taking the class. They are gonna get schooled!

[larsonjeff]

I too will be teaching a class, it will be "How to throw a Discraft Z-Breeze". This is not to be missed, for real. ;)

Kidding aside, this is cool.. I hope he gets a big turnout.

[benjas]

Can you tell me if there is still room in the classes?

[Bruce]

There is, I'm sure of that. I haven't gotten fliers to pass out yet, but I'll be doing that soon!

[benjas]

I just paypal'd my payment for the Sunday class. Said it would take a few days to clear. Really excited!

Anyone interested in what Australian disc golf courses look like? These are the courses Dave played this last weekend. Look at Herrison Island, surrounded by water!

[Bullseye Disc Golf.com]

Dave just got back from Australia where he took yet another championship and defeated the best Australian players by 26 strokes. Dave now has won championships in 11 countries. He has put together the finalized dates for Dave's Driving School and I will list them here.

Steve,

Just wondering if you are Dave's Marketing manager? It seems like it would be good for Dave to come on here and answer questions and get in touch with the local disc golf community. I would think that would also show his supporters and students a strong gesture of stepping outside your comfort zone.

[Bullseye Disc Golf.com]

You are correct! It would be very cool for Dave to get on here and get in touch. I am not Dave's marketing manager. I had volunteered to help him with basic website updates for Dave Feldberg.com and he asked me to help post the info on this site.

Funny thing is that there are still a large contingent of extremely high (and low) rated disc golfers who just aren't really into the whole computer thing. This is probably worthy of a discussion topic in and of itself. The game of disc golf attracts people who don't require computers for work, and aren't interested in computers for entertainment and communication.

Without naming names, I can think of several Pro Open and Pro Master players that I play with occasionally who still don't own a computer or have an email address. Some have an email account with an old outdated computer and they may only check their email once a month. This may be hard to believe for most of us who are plugged in 24/7.

In Dave's case, I believe that he just doesn't have the time. He owns a laptop which he takes on tour to check email and register for events. As far as online activity, I think as far as he gets is following his online fantasy NFL football team. Anyone who has spent an afternoon or evening hanging out with him knows that his phone rings 24/7 with phone calls from sponsors, business people, tournament directors, players from all around the globe, etc. This is what happens when you become the #1 ranked in a sport that is growing as fast as disc golf is growing.

Frankly I am shocked that he even has the time to do Dave's Driving School. I think this is kind of his way of connecting to the local disc golf community. Potentially if he were on here, he would be constantly bombarded with private messages and questions of people asking what grip to use and what disc to throw and it's probably easier to just do his clinic as he loves nothing more than talking technique.

It could also be that he is a lousy typer! I type 70 wpm because I took a year long typing class in 7th grade because all the hot girls were doing the typing class and I ended up being the only guy in the class. I got typed notes from all the cute girls and I learned how to type really good! This was in 1982 when typing was taught on the old manual ribbon type writers. (This is why I tend to ramble.) In 1982, typing was seen as a useless skill unless one was going to be a secretary. I never cared much for useful classes so I always took the classes with the most girls. I think a lot of people shy away from discussion threads and such since they suck at typing and it's too frustrating to spend hours with 2 index fingers trying to type a sentence.

The other scenario is that certain people who are really good at something (like disc golf), are so committed to that skill, that they suck at almost everything else, and don't have much capacity for other activities. This reminds me of a documentary I saw on John Frusciante the current guitar player for the Red Hot Chili Peppers. The story about him was when their original guitarist Hillel Slovak died of a drug overdose, they had open auditions for the guitar spot. John was a qualified guitar player but the band immediately noticed that he was different from other guys. He didn't have a drivers license or a car so they had to pick him up and take him home. He didn't have a checking account. No credit card. They had to pay him in cash. But this guy just ripped the guitar and nobody else even got close to matching his guitar ability.

I have artist friends here in Portland that still don't have a cell phone and can't deal with maintaining a drivers license and a car. They are really good at what they are into doing and they just don't have any capacity for the basic administrative skills most of us can't imagine being without.

Next time I'm at Dave's place, I will try and show him this community and see if I can get him to sign up! Maybe someone needs to volunteer to teach him how to type. Maybe a really good typer can trade typing lessons for disc driving lessons! Wouldn't that be awesome?

[Disc Golf Live]

Steve, for me it was ninth grade typing class. Mr. Bigelow was the man, he told us then how important the ability to type was and he's been proven right.

Looking forward to dropping a healthy dose of the Rose City Open DVD into my January episode of Disc Golf Live, thanks again for making our work available! It will be nice to have some west-coast action in the show and I hope there are more folks in the area who have video they'd like to share with viewers across the country.

Good luck with the Driving School

don't think i specified the dates i wanted since i signed up the first week or so that this class became available. I probably can do sundays better than saturdays.

Was going through the process of signing up via paypal but am getting the message:

"Payment To $100.00 USD

Why would I be getting that message? I would have thought he would be registered with account and everything.

Also getting error message when trying to send a email to that address. Is something wrong with the email address?

Sorry guys I did a typo on his Paypal email address. I should have known better than to do edits after running power tools for 5 hours straight. My brain got turned into scrambled eggs! It's dfeldber@uoregon.edu. I got confused as I thought he changed it. This email address is currently down for emails. It only works for paying him on Paypal. Please send confirmation of what day you want or questions about the class to Dave at davefeldberg (at ) hotmail.com.

Also to simplify and unify everything I just figured out that I could update all the previous .pdf flyers to the current flyer so all of them should be the latest edition.

Thanks, I went into paypal and canceled the first one and sent it to the corrected address.

OK here's the latest!

Dave is currently in Wisconsin doing clinics. There is a slight schedule change. Looks like Team Oregon will not be going to San Diego this year the weekend of Dec 4-5 so Dave is doing driving school that weekend and removing the Jan 14-15.

Dave provided a class description.

1st 3 classes are 1 hour driving, 30 putting instruction.

Class 1: Technique inventory. Dave will analyze and identify problems with your drive. Basic technique repair. Dave's push putt technique.

Class 2: Advanced driving technique. Restructuring correct form. Introducing the Pivot Hop Step. Advanced push putting.

Class 3: Finalizing advanced driving technique. Advanced shot visualization and execution. Advanced science and biomechanics of push putting.

Class 4: Applying technique to tee pad and advanced technique on how to properly line up your tee shots. Approach technique. Proper Spin Putt technique.

Class 5: Rollers, Spikes, skip shots, Oh My! Approaching from tee. Straddle putting and other trick shots.

Dave says because his schedule is heating up, this is likely to be the one and only time he may do Dave's Driving School in this 5 class format at this price here in Portland. So THIS IS IT!

Just having Dave critique your form is worth more than $100. People who are going to the class please bring a small notepad and pen to take notes. You are gonna wanna take notes. When he gets going on technique and when he breaks down your form there is no way you can remember everything he tells you so I highly recommend bringing a notepad and pen to jot things down.

The goal is to add distance, lower your scores, throw with correct biomechanical technique and ergonomics.

Here is a great slow mo video of Dave's Driving to get pumped up! This is going to be a blast!

You know... I was under the impression that this was a driving class. Now I read about putting, too? Some of my friends that I golf with all of the time have signed up for this. Now I am wondering if Saturday classes are still open? :)

[Bruce]

There is room on Saturdays and Sundays, talked to Dave earlier today actually.. I'll find out later tonight where in the park it will be held and get back to you folks.

[Will of Doom]

[TreeLove]

How was it?

[Jaemes]

Very professional, extremely helpful and well planned out. Classes are about 12 people per day. Dave has put a lot of thought into the classes and it shows. Even have a couple of homework projects for the week.

Guess Saturdays are a little bigger, at least so far. I think there were 14 there on Saturday. Some of the people said they came on Saturday because the weather was pretty good, and there was no telling about Sunday. Next week will probably be smaller since the lesson will start right before the Civil War game kickoff.

Dave did videos of students' drives for before/after comparisons. We started with the proper positioning of fingers and wrist, and we'll be practicing that in preparation for next week, where we'll get to the rest of the drive. It looked like almost everyone required some grip modification, so there's certainly areas for improvement. We also did the fundamentals of the push putt, working on the basic motion. It does look like like the class is very well timed, giving us two weeks to work on strengthening the muscles for the push putt.

[demongund]

I know I probably missed the boat on this, any chance he's going to do this again in 2011?

[Bruce]

He'll probably do it next off season, which would be end of fall/winter of this year.

Sweet, thanks :)
