I've been playing recreationally for about 10 years now, and I only have gotten 1 ace thus far. My 1 ace came from this disc lmao. A group of 4 let me pass them since I was playing solo, and they could not believe what they saw from the beginning of me bending the disc, watching it tumble then glide in the air, and watching it crash in the chains. I absolutely love this disc!
I have never been into disc golf, but I can get into this style of content for sure! I would love to see the scientific explanation behind why the shapes makes it so different also! Let's get smarter every day 🔥
@@reedtrullz every disc has a different shape to turn left to right or right to left and even the different plastic each disc is made out of can affect flight patterns kind of interesting
I threw an Epic every day for 4 years from 2016-2020. I was also a baseball pitcher. Let me tell you something. A tuned epic on a 90mph tomahawk throw will barrell roll directly into chain from 200ft away. You can also throw it straight at the sky and it will glide down at target if you have to go up over trees and can't Heiser. You don't throw this disc like a disc. It's the weird side chick that gets the job done in weird ways.
EXACTLY! I played tennis in high school, and was 1st singles all years while maintaining the faster serve on the team. I never “officially” played baseball, but with improper form, out of conditioning, not in shape, and 2 years after I stopped playing sports, I was finally able to have a chance to have a pitch clocked and I was throwing over 80. I always figured I could throw it quick, but with training I could have been pretty good. But throwing a tomahawk with this disc feels exactly like a baseball pitch or a tennis serve. I’ve tried it with a boss, and a destroyer, and it’s just not the same! It’s so hard to find discs that work like this disc the fact that you can tune it, and that you can force a full turn over in the air, and have it just glide to the finish line on open holes, OR you can throw a thumber just to swap the direction of the fade AND that you can just chuck it straight through a gap leaves this disc with SO many options.
One thing we learned back in the day when these were still in production, was that you can tune most high speed drivers. The Epic was one of the only ones that would let you re-tune it successfully. Something in the plastic allowed you to do it over and over. I've still got a 150 Flick that I tuned back to full stability, after it got beat too flippy to depend on - and it's an absolute meat hook, but it won't tune back flippy... Also, not sure if it matters (I don't throw overhand), but all the guys I saw getting sick distance with those were throwing thumbers, not tomahawks.
Thumber is the only way I throw that disc. I still can't throw with two fingers in the rim for forehands. I started with just my index finger, like skipping a rock on water, and now can't change it. Lol
Aerobie! Sweet! They been doing discs a while. Their ring was so popular back in the day. As a kid in the 80’s we all wanted one. Now an adult in the 20’s we opt for their coffee press, Aeropress!
This is the greatest disc golf disc review UA-cam video out here!! Very well put together, amazing! Great editing with the music to match the suspense. Very entertaining, kept my attention.
Here in Michigan, disc golf gets very very competitive, especially among the zoomers who aren't obsessed with technology, they destroy everyone in the woods. And it's fantastic.
lol that first one you missed out on buying was mine that I sold! to bad you didn't get it. I would have loved to see you throw it! keep up the good content!
After watching this I had to check out your channel. Really enjoyed all your shorts. Coming from an avid (perhaps somewhat obsessive) consumer of dg content, I'm going to sub because this is a really great video and your edit is awesome! Keep it up and looking forward to more!
Yep, one of my furthest throws was with an Aerobie Epic thumber. 500 ft is definitely feasible. I found that a slight headwind helped flip it faster to get it to plain out and soar.
I met a guy who bagged a bunch of them, and he mainly threw overhead shots. He swore the yellow ones went the farthest. I still bag one for when I need to escape certain situations.
I got one for $60US brand new in packaging last year. Still haven't thrown it because my local course has too many trees and I have heard it is very brittle.
I have an epic in the stash. Haven’t picked it up in 15 years. It is so extremely over stable, I could never imagine what to do with it. This video was more fun than I ever had with the epic.
If you are looking to sell it, it’s my favorite disc and I have thrown it so much so fast into so many things over my decade playing, I have been looking for a suitable replacement. If you would possibly consider selling it to someone who would absolutely love the opportunity to use it and would absolutely use it, please let me know!
I threw one of those a while back & was taught to throw a Thumber with the Epic. Others should try throwing it too, that thing is fun and so are the other Aerobie toys.
Dude there are some many great things about this video and your channel in general I hope you have many years on disc golf or just on youtube because your content is amazing If you ever have some time I would love to talk for a while, i’m trying to start a good youtube channel but am struggling with some things, i would appreciate the help Can’t wait to see more content
I just recently took this disc out of my bag. I started playing in the Portland, OR area and this is the perfect disc to thumb through heavy brush if your stuck. Now living in Boise, the fairways are more open but accuracy counts for OB's. Still a fun disc to bring out and show people every now and then. They can't believe it's PDGA approved. 😂
@5:02 edit at crucial birdie putt . fun disc though for sure. Not exactly a disc golf disc - I heard it wasn't PDGA approved.. ? or maybe it's just so rare now it doesn't reall matter.
lol i have one of these in my bag. when I was in high school my dad found them and bought us each one to try out for fun. We never tried the overhand tomahawk throw!
I have one. I think I just got it at some pro shop for cheap a long time ago and never really ended up throwing it. I still have it and now want to give it another shot.
I had 2 Epics, wish i still had them. Try throwing a thumber instead of a tomahawk, the angle is more natural for overhand throw and you can get more power. Ive thrown 450+ with a thumber. 500 is achievable for you
I love my epic, I found mine on a course one day a long time ago and it had no name. It’s one of the most fun discs in my bag for sure. I rarely ever use it but when I for my friend tells me I need to tee off with that and nothing else 😂
Just got into disc golf a couple weeks ago and I had found this disc in a bush pretty soon after, didn’t realize it was so expensive and interesting lol
It's not expensive. The reason the disc he was looking for was pricey is because it was rare. New Discs range from $7 to $25. You only need a 3 discs to start, a Putter, Mid-Range and Driver.
Damn, I wish I knew these would be so valuable today… I had 5 of them at one point and gave them all to friend when I stopped playing DG over 10 years ago. Just so people are aware, yes this thing can fly 500+ with an overhand. However, more than 90% of players lack the strength it takes to achieve it. It’s not even about skill, it’s all about throwing it REALLY hard. I was able to do it consistently, but my buddy, who was a far better player than me, could never get it to turn over and glide.
Hey random question - is that your microphone that you have pinned to your hat there? If so, can you tell me what kind of microphone that is? Great audio quality for the capture angle
Right now people carry super OS and US as utility discs but the future of disc golf will have utility discs like this or the interceptor which is built to stick and not bounce. There will be some breakthrough with asymmetric discs and I wonder if the PDGA will ban it if pros start using them

hm, maybe in my next video with the epic i’ll take a look at tuning other discs and also try it on the thumber line! thanks for the tips!
Thumber is the only way I throw that disc. I still can't throw with two fingers in the rim for forehands. I started with just my index finger, like skipping a rock on water, and now can't change it. Lol
What happens if you tune a Firebird to be more understable? A sidewinder to be overstable? I need to find out!

I didn't even know Disc Golf was a sport that existed prior to watching this video but that was a fun watch
this was a absolutely amazing video! Great work!

This gives off the same feel as wirtual, and I was very surprised to see it as your only full length video, keep it up my dude
this is like Ryan Trahan level editing/entertainment skills... idc much for disc golf but i subscribed cuz u deserve to be with the big names
Woah I was actually bummed that you only had 1 video! I loved this! Keep it up man. I'll be turning on notifications waiting for your next video.
I know nothing about this sport/game.. But I enjoy it.. Thank You ❤️
Never watched disk golf before great video you made it really accessible to new ppl love the content

Why does this content feel like disc golf version of Ryan Trahan!😂😂 5:07
that is the best compliment you could’ve ever given me
that is actually exactly on point
Awesome vid!! That’s my home course btw! Pretty underrated tbh.
turner is SO underrated !!!
ngl, this video was in my suggested, watched it all the way thru, and was sad that there are no other videos yet! would love more of these!
Fantastic edit! Keep up the great work!
thanks so much!

Thanks T!!!
Agree. Funny as well!
Had to subscribe. Incredible video
THANK YOU!! let me know what you want to see next 😈
Dude is an absolute beast with the camera and the discs

Cool video! Curious for what you come up with next
thanks!
I used to have one, it worked pretty good, that's insane how expensive they are now
Dude your video quality? You deserve the 1 mil soon
What a crazy disc. Thanks for sharing this content!
it was a trippy disc for sure!!
I met a guy who bagged a bunch of them, and he mainly threw overhead shots. He swore the yellow ones went the farthest.
I still bag one for when I need to escape certain situations.

Awesome video bro!
Dang... This is a really good video! Keep it up! The Epic is such an interesting and fun disc 😂

Great editing and sound design, making for compelling video worth actually watching.
thanks so much! i really appreciate it!

Start of a legend
get in at the ground level 🫡
lol i have one of these in my bag. when I was in high school my dad found them and bought us each one to try out for fun. We never tried the overhand tomahawk throw!
I got a epic in my bag. Its flips over and glides best in a headwind for me. It also works better for me when i throw thumber. Great video though man.
I need to try it again with a better wind as well as on a thumber!
My mom got me an aerobie when I was a kid. Just the plain old aerobie disk. I loved it. I love my mom.
W vid! Keep it up!
Was at that park this past Sunday! Nice to see local disc golfers making content!
Turner is a beast!
That was so exciting man damn lol
love this idea man cool vid.
thank you sir
If this wasn't OOP I would most definitely buy one. Keep on making videos man, I absolutely LOVE them
I have one. I think I just got it at some pro shop for cheap a long time ago and never really ended up throwing it. I still have it and now want to give it another shot.
Dude! Definitely try it out again, let me know how far you get it on an overhand!
Yo me and my buds thought 100 ft was far. Great stuff
I remember having one of these back in the day. I think I found it in the woods in 2005. Hated it lol
It's best to throw it with a thumber! I have gotten it to 500+ that way! I also played baseball in college so that helps my cause.
Only disc golf creator on UA-cam worth watching.
I'm going out to play with one of these today, my friend has one in her stash. I'm hoping this disc is a game-changer for me as a lefty.
I had 2 Epics, wish i still had them. Try throwing a thumber instead of a tomahawk, the angle is more natural for overhand throw and you can get more power. Ive thrown 450+ with a thumber. 500 is achievable for you

@@jmillydg I threw it once. Someone at my local course was throwing one. It's pretty wild. I'd kinda forgotten until I saw your vid's thumbnail 🤣

It is! I use the DJI Mic!
So what is your normal distance range like with forehand or backhand?
This was great content
thank you !!!
I’m new to this all still but I’m trying to get better with the tomahawk throw. I’m a lefty so do I still want an understable disc?
That was epic
Great video especially for someone so young
I still have one. We sold them at sport chalet back in the day
Great video
how do you not have so little amount of subs you need 20 million subs
I saw one at a thrift for $1 and I was confused thought it was a defective disc.
MAN, i totally would have bought that one

Right now people carry super OS and US as utility discs but the future of disc golf will have utility discs like this or the interceptor which is built to stick and not bounce. There will be some breakthrough with asymmetric discs and I wonder if the PDGA will ban it if pros start using them
from what i read, this disc is pdga approved but the pdga has committed to no longer approved discs of this fashion
I’ve always heard it got banned
