That should be banned in Disc Golf community!!

Folf Club?!? Geez!!

Looks like that concept/design came from skeet hand thrower that I use to throw when in Boy Scout for skeet shooting.

Using it, you'll have to think like sidearm throws.
Tee Off and Pay ATTENTION!! :shock:

The atlatl was invented numerous thousands of years ago - this concept is nothing new. Not really related to "disc golf" in any way (and certainly can't be used in tournaments, etc.); just some specific way to "throw" farther with aid. Sort of like ball golfing with illegal balls, etc.

T'wil pose an interesting quandary...and one that the PTB should be looking into right now - as the whole Pistorius thing (in the Olympics, not the shooting thing) should've opened people's eyes to such.

Not so.....This thing is an oximoron. You throw with a sidearm/forehand motion but the disc comes out spinning clockwise like a backhand throw. Look at the vid the discs thrown with this thing righthanded are fading left.

You're correct. I just tested myself. Yeah, it does spin clockwise. But still, you will have to throw like sidearm style anyway.
