Tech Disc… the disc that gives you immediate data on your throw after you buy one of their available molds, Discraft or Innova (Distance Driver, Fairway Driver, Midrange, Putter)... which is an amazing product to use to dial in your form… has announced they have added video form capture (including slow-mo) to their capabilities. Good?! Well… you get a 7-day free trial if you have an account… but it will be $9.99/month, or $99.99/year!
