If your tee shot was at all adequate, (and it will be), you should be between one-third and two-thirds of the way to the basket, after your first shot. It is not the distance remaining that worries you; it is the small stand of trees sitting squarely between you and the basket, compounded by the fact that there’s a creek about three-quarters of the way there that looks like its dying to eat your plastic.
No worries. You know from experience that your “regular” driver rises up on the outside, taking the disc to the right of your line of sight before cutting back to the left. And, just in case, you have a specialty disk that is shaped in such a way that it first cuts to the left, goes out, and cuts back in before dropping. And it floats.
Knowing the flight characteristics of your different drivers is critical. One driver is not even designed to fly at all, but thrown with an exaggerated overhand motion so it hits the ground and starts to roll. And continues to roll for a long time.
The only other element an exemplary drive requires is power. Of course, the further down the throw starts, the stronger the resulting mechanical advantage. DO NOT curl your wrist for a drive. It does impart more centrifugal force to the disc, but that actually costs you in distance. So the rule of thumb is: keep your wrist straight, hands out from the body, and start the throw down by your feet.
And know the flight characteristics of your different drivers!
