    Hey cool guy. Im back after watching some of your video for Swanky and i figured out what you should do: grab two copies of a disc and throw them with me and we will see how they look off the line when a pro and a joe throws them. Loser will drop their disc at the donation box.
    Comparisons are hard since we cant throw two shots on the same angle, etc. the answer: Cage Match

    • @Aaron-zj3fu
      @Aaron-zj3fu Рік тому

      @@jakebourassa I have both the 164-166 and 173-174 weights. The lower weight Athena wants to turn a little more, but instead of flipping and tanking right it comes back true and lands near center. The higher weight Athena will hold true, maybe with a slight turn. Different flight pattern from a Mantis so regardless it won't be nearly as flippy for you. I recommend getting both weights and seeing what you like best.

    • @BodanzaDiscGolf
      @BodanzaDiscGolf  Рік тому +2

      I tried that for a bit, but I found even with the glory, the evader, the explorer, an os teebird3, I just don't like a more hyzer style disc for that 7-8 speed so I have a felon that I like there right now! I think I prefer the 9-11 speed for that control slot, especially because if I power down a bit it will dump even more

  • @discgolf449
    @discgolf449 Рік тому

    Strikes and Athena’s seem very different in both feel and flight. Strike is definitely more like a teebird in rim feel and dome, but it is less stable. The Athena gets compared to a teebird because of the printed flight numbers, but the profile definitely looks and feels more like an eagle. Also, the strike will beat in a little faster. My strikes are flip and ride right after probably 5 rounds.

    • @BodanzaDiscGolf
      @BodanzaDiscGolf  Рік тому

      interesting! I'll have to see how they beat in, well the strike, I don't plan on throwing the athena much! I've ripped the strike into a good few trees and it's help up fine so far, but time only tells! Their flights were basically identical as I was testing them!

    @jeremyharvey7217 Рік тому

    Is that fairhope course? Wondering why you throw drivers on putter holes. It's hard to get an accurate assessment of them on 200-300 foot holes because once you progress those aren't going to be very workable. Now the hole before the batting area with the netting is a great hole for all those. Jw

    • @BodanzaDiscGolf
      @BodanzaDiscGolf  Рік тому

      Ive gotten some feedback that people want to see different lengths than just higher arm speed lengths because if I throw them on these lines they might have flights more similar to people who don't throw as far as me! That's why there's the nice mix of the 250 as well as the 380 footers. Hard to do it everywhere but it's helpful for some people!
      also, I realized I didn't answer the initial question, yes it's fairhope lol
