I absolutely love the bird of prey bags. I have the older, fuller version and they are my go-to. I feel like the structure of the thicker slow side helps them keep flat and stable while in the air. Super hope friendly somehow given the speed. I really want to try these new ones
Hey Mike - love your content. Q? - on your edit of your shots. Do you show all frames or just the ones where you get 3+ in. Either way your consistency is impressive. Next time you plan to play in a big tournament, please post about it. Would enjoy following your progress
I always record more throwing rounds than I need. When I add in the talking part, I cut out the extra rounds. My goal is not to make me look good. I'm trying to keep in the rounds that highlight what the bag can do. For example, if I miss a block or a push, I may not show that round because that wasn't the bags fault. It was my fault. That's also why I record the throwing parts with me in the background. I'm trying to make the bags the star of the video and not me. As for tournaments, I rarely play in them. I play cornhole for fun and most players take tournaments too seriously. My local league is a bunch of guys that play for fun. We don't keep track of stats or wins. We talk trash and have a great time. I love that more than any tournament I've ever played in. I have no desire to ever be a pro so the tournaments mean nothing to me.
Enjoying the frequency and range of the reviews lately (recently picked up some Templars you reviewed). Only thing missing are showing examples of individual bags' strengths in the split screen. I.e., if a bag is primed for a dirty game, I'd like to see it in action. Don't think I've ever seen a hard cut, roll or flop during a bag review.
I don't have a roll or flop shot so that's why you don't see those. I throw cuts in every video to show how well a bag can cut or can't cut. I try to keep the videos short so I have a limited number of throws to showcase everything the bag can do. I did a quick scan of this video and there are multiple cut shots around the 5:10 mark (one where I missed trying to cut around but left the bag hanging and then a cut shot right after to collect the bag), another one at the 5:40 mark, and a hard cut that missed the collect at the 6:10. There are probably some others in there also.
@@MikesBags That's a great reason! I spotted the cuts, too. The last one was close! Wish my reverse cut looked that smooth. Keep up the good work Mike.
I’ve owned the aftershock, sold them and picked up the tremor. The tremor has become my go to bag at blind draws bc everyone is comfortable throwing it. These seem like they are worth grabbing because my default throw is fairly fast. Nice airmail drag at the end Mike 🤙🏼
How do your Tremors feel? Mine feel on the medium-large side with more beads than a good mix fill. Plus with that liner and what feels like too many beads, the bags feel sloppy coming out of the hands.
@lwmhawj348 when I received them they were a lot “puffier” than I expected but after soaking them in white distilled vinegar, tumble on low heat with a towel and about 3 days of throwing they are money for me. If you like a Viper R type bag but more control this thing is it. I was worried about how much fill seemed to be in the bag but now that they are 70-80 percent broken in they feel much better in hand. I have a set of the XD on order… has a smaller template and flat fill if I’m not mistaken
