Re: Official Ultimate Ascent Thread!

So I see a lot of people talking about how to throw over the wall, but has anyone else tried it? My dad and I just made out of pvc the middle goal, so that the opening is at the right height and size, took it outside, marked out 60 feet, and started throwing. I immediately went only for hammer throws, as they curve perfectly, starting out at a high release, then curve flat at whatever distance I want, which lets them go straight into the goal. It took a few tries, but I made about 5/20 throws, my first time trying it. If you have one person throwing, the other feeding them disks, I can see human players scoring at least 20-30 points, if not many more.
