      To be fair… my first reaction to the Berg was “It feels like they recycled a public toilet seat”.
      After 1 game with the Berg, it became my go-to putter. Now I’m expanding it’s use into other parts of my game: short tees, approaches, forehand flicks, and OMG TRY IT AS A ROLLER HOLY CRAP ITS LIKE A BIG OFF-ROAD TIRE NOTHING STOPS IT.

      Agree with this, it literally goes exactly how you throw it, wind resistant, stick where it lands. Didn’t like it at first but my friend did, he throws it 99% of the times inside 150ft, even long puts. And when i saw how great he was with it i started to do it too and now it’s my main approach disc, unless i need a flex line or very overstable, then it’s the pig. I also put with it inside 30ft.

      Exactly. I could buy it being overrated if there were functional alternatives to serve the same purpose, but it's genuinely a unique disc that AFAIK doesn't have any other mold claiming to do its job the same or better. I believe the Innova Animal is thought to be in the same vein as a Berg, but I haven't thrown it or talked to anybody who has to confirm.

    @TomasLaine 3 роки тому +24

    As a person who does not throw that far, I usually don't always have a putt for a birdie on the par 3 holes. That's when the berg comes out. I probably throw a berg every fourth throw (not counting putting, or maybe even including haha). 90% of the throws are a sidearm shot. And there's nothing to compare it to when it comes to that. I have a zone if I feel like it's to far for the berg. Otherwise I would say it's the most important disc in my bag if I had to choose one. But that's just what I like :)
    I would also say that the berg is a unique disc. Yes, there's alot of zones out there or destroyers with other brands. But there's noting like a berg. One of a kind

Its like walking around and constantly telling people that a movie is SO good, that when they see it it'll blow their minds. You bring the hype up so high that when they actually go to watch it, its just impossible for it to live up to expectations. No matter how good the movie is.

    When I started, I was given a bunch of broken-in discs as a gift from a friend. Some of them are very flippy and understable. They were so much easier to throw from left to right. Now, I'm developing more power. I'm gravitating toward stable discs. I ended up buying new versions of the discs I already have. I'm taking them through the process of breaking in to find a sweet spot. You're right, disc preference is completely subjective. It's a never-ending process. I got a nice chuckle from this video. I know why you made it! Disc golfers are extremely superstitious creatures! These are my discs right now. 1. Champion Leopard. 2. Leopard3 3. Star Roadrunner 4. Buzz 5. Star Sidewinder 6.
