Appreciate everyone asking if I lifted, and though I didn't, there was already a winner who commented right at midnight and I'm sending a disc out to! Not that I want to fail my accountability again, but if I do, I know I have a lot of yall who will feel more than comfy making sure I know about it!!! :)
Oh dang you're in my area! If you're still in the pensacola/milton area you should try out the Blackwater milton course, it's a great one they've been putting a lot of work into.
I had a one in base plastic. Flew similar to a dx leopard, but the plastic felt much better. Chalky-rubbery. Disc was also called the Sunbird before they renamed it da Yeenius.
The Fury for me is the big brother of the River. 9 speed, flies -3 turn with 1 fade. A controllable amount of turn, but it reliably turns. Great for easy rollers that don't die out to quick and beautiful hyzer flips.
Broke my fibula a few months ago and starting playing again this weekend. Hard to get a lot of power now since my leg is still weak. The Genius works great at the moment for hyzer flip to flat shots
I love how you never throwed the disc before, make an assumption, and then go to work.👍 I too thought it would flip a lil easier and was quite surprised when you threw it on h1. Also love that you keep failed throws ⭐️👌. Good stuff
I had a Genius for one of my firsts discs when I started Father’s Day of 2021. It was a great disc to help me learn the game and it beat in well as I learned. Just gave it away a few weeks ago to a buddy with less arm speed and he’s been getting good use of it.
Not only entertaining, but also really helpful in building a bag, especially considering the amount of subpar disc reviews on UA-cam. Keep up the good work buddy.
I just got a Streamline neutron jet and it's stupid flippy on a flat release it isn't super bad on a extreme hyzer with about 60% power, the Amazon seller sent me a 167g instead of the 174g I ordered I just didn't think it would be that off from the reviews I've seen on the jet 🤷
When I got a Genius brand new, like the one you're reviewing it flipped up slightly then faded. Give it a few more weeks of use and it'll definately start to fly like a -4. Personally I bag one for a roller disc that I can throw hard flat and have it flip over to angle. Also very useful for pushing hyzer shots when you can't move very much.
My twin boys love playing disc golf and I was hoping that maybe you could make a video on what to bag for young players. My boys are 7 and last week they got their first birdies. As of now their favorite disc is the mind bender or MD1. Thanks for the great videos and keep up the good work.
Hey Timo! I honestly am not the best coach, jsut sharing my journey, I would say for a driver, this genius could be a good one, especially if they like discmania already! I'd look for one that's a bit lighter ( IU always try to go for the maxweights, but somehting in the 160s in terms of grams would probably be great! Exciting that they're getting into it and that they got their first birdies! I'm sure there are many more to come, and the mindbender is a GREAT disc for them!
Did you even lift yesterday bro. Also I’ve been enjoying your training and info videos. I haven’t played in around a decade my dad got me into disc golf back when I was like 10 and I’m 30 now. Im not sure if that’s completely accurate it may have been sooner but he passed away last month in October and we were close but disc golf was one of the things we did together growing up. I hate that I wasn’t able to play with him and when I finally made time he was sick and unable to play. I have a few of his old discs that weren’t too beat up and I’m hoping to get better again to try and use his discs in a tournament. Thanks for being a big help and motivator.
Tried the genius in base line....acts kind of like a Teebird, straight then pretty solid fade left. Also tried a tursas mid in base, basically no turn and pretty hard fade. My only conclusion is that the base plastics must shrink alot when they cure. Both discs in base are board flat and fairly high PLH. If you want a nice flippy FD then go with an underworld from westside. Such a weapon to have on especially holes with steep inclines going to the right.
what are the odds! I just found a no name premium one of these in a tree branch and I've really been enjoying it. I usually play around 2000 or more feet so I get a real good flip without a burn, it can roll pretty easy too :) plastic is stiff for me but not bad
Roc or the TeeBird. I've tried bagging both of these and can't seem to love them no matter the hype surrounding them. I like flippier discs like wombats and comets.
I think it has to do with how fast you're throwing the disc. Slower disc speed means it won't flip as much. Just now going through this with my personal disc. Have a Warrant that flew straight as can be when I first started. Now that I have played for a few months now, the Warrant is a floppy disc because my arm speed has increased.
Get a tumbleweed easiest roller disc out there its almost self correcting in a way no matter what angle it hits on it always stands uo and finishes on that line
The Discmania Rockstar (8 5 -2 1) in the same plastic is also supposed to be understable but most definitely is not. The Genius (for me) is a great disc and definitely not as flippy as the numbers suggest (again for me). I think an Underworld would make a great disc to test with these if any of your Patreons have not mentiond that one yet.
Honestly even in base plastic it pretty neutral and doesn't really match the numbers. Had one in my bag for awhile for some water carries on my course. After it beat in it pretty much became unusable understable though.
I had a Genius in my bag until yesterday. As my form and arm speed have improved - and as it wears in - it became super flippy. Yesterday it turned hard around some trees out of sight and then presumably rolled into the woods never to be seen again. I’m ok with it and I hope whoever finds it gets good use from it. Good video - it’s not you, it’s the disc.

love these bag it or bin it challenges videos. Shows off a ton of different molds !!!
My dad loves the genius. One of his favorite drivers

Thank’s for the review.
I have one that usually fades a bit on my back hand. My flat back hand throw is usually between 220 and 260 with the Genius.
Even the baseline Genius is actually pretty stable out of the box. Needs some beating-in def

Also, I love the commitment to putting with the discs that you test!

I can’t believe how fast your gaining subscribers keep it up man

Great video! Fwiw this Genius flies nothing like mine in the same plastic. Mine is RIDICULOUSLY flippy and flies like the flight numbers suggest.
I would love to see you test out the mint disc freetail or the lobster!! Apex plastic
I died laughing for some reason when he said" I have a virus" 😆... thanks for the review.
The active base Genius makes a great long range putter

Can’t wait for that Doomsday lineup review, I absolutely love a lot of their disc.
How is the Dystopia?
The landmine is great, and the frag is basically a 1/4 price tilt in worse plastic.
@@steveolie985 the landmine is pretty cool. I bought the frag for overhand shots, but it is too beefy. Cant find use for it.
My first boda a disc golf vid
Good stuff🎉
I bag a genius as a utility, for bh anhyzer upshots, patent pending, and bh roller upshots. It absolutely saves strokes..

Had a metal flake roadrunner that always acted moe overstable than I thought it would. But if it did turn, it held for a while.
they beat amazingly! I have a champ one w some dome that started off with very little natural turn, but its getting better and is easier to flip
The active base is a lot flippier, but I’d also expect the discs to be relatively inconsistent given how it’s manufactured.

Digging the content man ... keep it coming !

This is a personal preference. My opinion, it merits nothing. You left the sticker on. That cringe’s my soul.
Love your content. Keep it up brother.
My guines can be relasef at like 45 degress hyzrr and it still flips up and cooks right on rhbh

can you do a video on keeping the nose down with forehands
yo! what do you use for a lav mic ?
Honestly even in base plastic it pretty neutral and doesn't really match the numbers. Had one in my bag for awhile for some water carries on my course. After it beat in it pretty much became unusable understable though.
Did you do your workout?
The Astronaut was stable for me.
Did you lift yesterday?
New goal should be 11K before 2023
I had a Genius in my bag until yesterday. As my form and arm speed have improved - and as it wears in - it became super flippy. Yesterday it turned hard around some trees out of sight and then presumably rolled into the woods never to be seen again. I’m ok with it and I hope whoever finds it gets good use from it. Good video - it’s not you, it’s the disc.
I'd like this for dog legs right.
Am I the only one that thinks the sticker on the genius might affect it's flight?
Did you lift?
Did u lift
I threw my friend’s genius and I threw it out flat and it went to a roller
If anyone here that has thrown a Lat64 Diamond let me know if they fly anything alike?
Obviously it's an approach disc, lol
もしかして 私たちってGenius…!?
誰にも言われないけど…ほんと……!!
少なくともあなたと私は:)
Did you do your putts
29 seconds ago :o
LoL
Love the content man. Bag it or bin it request: Kastaplast Falk
Since your a fan of the river you should checkout the opto-x river that lat64 has on their site now
Active Premium makes the Genius pretty much 7|5|-1|1
