#3Here's a disc golf app idea:
Film yourself in slow motion from front and back angles throwing a disc, upload the video to the app.
App then overlays you with different pros so you can see what you're doing right and wrong. You can compare angles of arms, torso, etc.
I would pay for an app like this.

If only you told me this back in September! I'll be looking at the FRC teams solutions from back then! Thanks!

Ha! When I saw their bot I immediately thought of my days on FRC and knew there were probably some bots that solved this with a past game.
For those curious about that specific game.

One of the Finals matches.

Try something better?

#7Unrelated to the topic, but I love the little bubble effect when I click on the page.

#8I love disc golf. My interests have truly intersected on this post.
In addition to clinics and practice ranges, this would be useful for folks that throw a lot in the field if it’s made a bit smaller and at a lower price point. I often throw 50-70 discs at a time and they’re annoying to pick up :)

Highly recommend OnForm for this. You can download pro slow motion videos and put them next to you side by side.

yeah we then used 2 1/8th aluminum pieces stacked on top of each other (because we didn't have 1/4 inch)
