Oh! I didn't know you posted it here, otherwise I would have posted comments here.

Joe, I think we have a huge untapped potential in somehow linking DG with slinging.  You really should continue to explore this. I will too.

Agreed.  I always carry a sling when disc golfing.  You never know when you'll see a golf ball or a nice looking stone.  I've also shown people how to sling a couple times.  One occasion was the same day as the little contest we had in the video.  The girl acting as our cameraman got her first slinging lesson as we were walking out (I wasn't going to have her use a golf ball for the first time, but strangely we found an old dirty tennis ball when we were heading back to the vehicles).

Others here will likely be able to answer that better than me.  I've only really used stones for target slinging, and golf balls for distance when out on a disc golf course (or somewhere similar).  I like golf balls because they're at a nice weight for the size.  But a cleaner throw is needed when compared to a stone because they're also very prone to curving left or right (a whole lot) if there's spin on the ball.  That's just based on my very limited experience.

I had that thought too.  That is quite likely to happen.  I'm still very much an amateur at disc golf.  But in the last couple years I'm getting to a point that I don't completely suck.  JC isn't a regular slinger, but he's done it more than a few times when I get him to.  A switched head-to-head should be interesting.
