People think that I'm this fool because
I give a fuck about the government

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?

How far are you throwing and what driver are you throwing?

I was using a Teebird, but switched to a Beast, which is better, but still turns over and goes right every time. I honestly have no idea how far I'm throwing them. I'll have to throw some in a field and measure them.

My putter is a supersoft wizard.

Teebirds should be able to go well past 300 feet.

McBeth and Sexton talk about people throwing drivers to the right in their clinics. If you're not crushing drives it's probably angle of release. This video should have their advice on how to correct it, but I can't watch right now to confirm.
