A heavier disc maintains the spin for longer because it has more initial angular momentum, given the same spin. He also said I have the strength, but I need to learn how to apply it. So, that's why he suggested I throw heavier discs. Maybe after I work on my form, and I'm able to get more spin, then I could drop back down.

It does seem to be making at least somewhat of a difference. I'm getting about 10-12% more distance, so that's a good thing. I have a whole list of things to work on before the weather gets better, and fortunately, most can be done indoors!

interesting! thank you for the explanation, karen, and i wish you the best!
