I play disc golf sometimes but I come from a background of ultimate and the throwing mechanic is different so I just drive with the putter. Works okay.

I play disc golf sparingly, and I cannot for the life of me throw a driver accurately. Every driver I throw just turns over and takes off to the right (I throw right hand, backhanded). Do I need to change my angle of release? Do I need to switch to a disc with more speed?

I've just switched to throwing my putter for every shot. I can regularly outdrive my friends (who throw midranges and drivers) with my putter, and I'm pretty drat accurate with it. I almost always score lower than them, using nothing but my putter. At this point it just doesn't seem worth it to risk an errant drive, for a mild increase in distance when using a driver.

Thoughts?

I could have written this post because I have the same game. Mine comes from having an ultimate background and being able to throw that disc really far backhand.

I've had good luck with teebird though so maybe keep at it?
