    Robbie you're making a huge impact on the sport. You've not only helped me with my game, but for the few events/tournaments/leagues that I've attended, there is always talks about where people learned about x,y, or z part of the game and your channel is one of the first 3 mentioned for how or why people are able to do whatever it is we're cheering them on for. This goes for the beginners (like me) to the semi pros that I've grouped with. Appreciate you man!

    @discgolfnerd98 5 місяців тому +2

    Tip 5 is a big one. I think everyone understands it in regards to putters and hand feel, but once it gets up to faster discs, it becomes "the archer not the arrow." Seemingly hand feel falls to the wayside once it stops being a putter. As someone who plays with mostly Innova, I really want to love the Mako3, and the cult-like following of the Mako3 makes me feel like I have to love it and throw it well. Truth is, it's just not as comfortable in my hand as the Jay, and it accomplishes the flight that I would get out of the Mako3, but with more consistency and confidence. Thanks for posting Robbie!

    I think we all have a tendency to get Birdie focused and we forget how powerful playing for par (avoiding bogeys) is. It is always exciting to see that Pro tour player with the colorful card with bogeys and birdies, but then you see the other player that just played within his/her game with no bogeys beating most of the field. Great stuff Robbie!

    Going for par is by far the best advice - especially beginners who are just starting to get better. Brining this into tournament play (MA3) does wonders for your mental game, game plans, and execution.

    • @bernan1
      @bernan1 5 місяців тому

      playing for par works great through MA2. Basically it's playing solid while the rest of the field is screwing up. Often players have distance but little control, little knowledge of shot shapes or course management. Esp if one is limited in distance (though less true in wide open courses)

    3 is my biggest problem. Looking at a lot of holes I usually try to reach and take bogeys on I've come to the conclusion I could work up the fairway gradually for a par or even still a look for birdie. Trying to reach the basket with every throw kills me. Not because I can't reach but the mistakes get bigger with every foot distance you add to the throw it seems? Nice vid!

    Playing to par has shaved about 7 strokes off my game for 18 holes. (I’m pretty new to the sport and still throwing 10-15 over at my favorite course.) Unless I’m have a “hit every tree” day. Then it wouldn’t matter anyway! My cold shoulder disc right now is the roadrunner. I threw it so well for about a month. Found the heat, now I burn the roadrunner over for a roller every time I try to use it. I did learn that star plastic is awesome with it though!

    I have a cool rule of thumb for better rounds. Whatever your max distance is, divide it by 50 and that's the fastest speed disc you should throw in a round that REALLY matters to you. You'll throw cleaner lines and get in less trouble by finishing closer to the center of the fairway

  • @patturcotte5465
    @patturcotte5465 5 місяців тому

    I like the putter only rounds. If I am playing on my own, I play two rounds - one with my disc of choice and the other putter only. It definitely makes me think different approaches to each hole. I would like to change up your request for what disc doesn't get along with me, to the opposite. I have learned to disc down and rarely throw anything over a 7 speed. The exception is the Insanity. That disc outperforms anything else in my bag on a consistent basis. I know it isn't my arm speed, because I just haven't put together the right form to get that high arm speed. So, I don't know why we get along, we just do. Thanks for the tips, I'm sure they will help shave a few strokes off.

  • @Corrigan65_

    Streamline Ascend. There's no over stable butter for me like the streamline stabilizer. Your harp replacement is my streamline stabilizer. Back to the Ascend, I hoped it might be like my Latitude 64 Maul with just a little variation. But there's nothing more suited to me in fairway drivers than a Maul. I actually drew Darth Maul on both of my maul's in red and black sharpie. But yeah, the streamline ascend is a great disc, just not the missing ingredient.

    I haven't found a disk that I don't like... just a LOT of discs that either don't do what I want them to do, or that I already do with other discs.
    I like to throw a disc as many ways as i can to see if it has any neat tricks that it may not have been designed for...
    My best example... The Tesla (172g Cosmic Neutron? lab blank).
    Throw it normally.. (I generally throw flat)... it goes long straight then slams the brakes on and fades hard... My only forearm throw for a local through the forest and hard right at the end.
    BUT... Throw it 10deg off vertical hard & fast, 30 ft out... and it rolls for 200+ ft (I've done 280, and did 230 today in 50mm wet grass)
    Throw it throttled down vertically for a big semicircle out of jail, round that tree and back in that alcove.
    Throw it throttled down on Anhyzer from above the shoulder for a great flex through tight trees.
    Lob it vertically overhead and it lands vertical, and keeps going.
    Hyzer it into the ground in front of you for a big over-stable skip.
    The Signal I had, when thrown hard and fast straight ahead... but forearm 20deg over vertical (slightly upside down, a bit like a hatchet) it flies a U shape...
    unfortunately I donated that to the god of torrential rivers.

Ironically, the Emperor which is a Destroyer variant, and I get along for some reason. I've also got a Gateway Realm in the bag right now and rather love that. Now for the Zone... it doesn't work for me. Instead, the Doomsday Discs Area 51 took that spot and is outstanding. Now if I ever find a 7/5/0/2 variant that I love ... might be giving the Servo a run (I know the numbers are different but I keep hearing it flies more 0/2 than -1/2). Based on past experience with the volt (which seems to be more firebird than Athena/Exodus/thunderbird), I hope that works.

    Whoa whoa whoa, not as difficult as ball golf? I typically agree with what you're saying but you're so off base. As a person who is a scratch ball golfer I have to say this sport has so many more variables to take into consideration during each and every shot.
