I’ve never seen a more complete performance. Seriously, going basically bogey free in a wooded course and seeing Isaac basically not miss a shot. It couldn’t believe it. I can’t imagine somebody having a better performance. And under the circumstances it’s just such a great sports story. Amazing. Congrats to Isaac!
Seems like the follow flights are a good opportunity to put the disc and flight numbers back on the screen so we can see how the players are manipulating different disc characteristics
Shout out to Gatekeeper for not spoiling the scores so I could watch chase first and come back here without knowing the results. I also avoid the comment section until after it's over. So glad Isaac could hold it down the stretch and play like a true champ. Great to see a Finn on the podium and fun to watch Niklas play. Silas also keeping it exciting on chase, and Eagle slipping almost unnoticed all the way to 2nd. The play is just incredible with so many players that could take home the trophy on any given week. The men's league is so competitive.
The friends at the end make the finish a lot more fulfilling. Seems like it's usually awkward standing around after a tournament win for TDs and pros, but the pure excitement and joy from a group of friends and family really makes it enjoyable to watch.
The level of disc golf today is unbelieavable. Paul saying this tournament was the best he's ever seen says a lot I think. Jesus, this is so enjoyable.
Wow! What a performance!! Silas and Nikolas played phenomenally all wkend. That was an epic tournament for Isaac. WOW WOW WOW!! Eagle with an amazing run at the end as well!!! Epic! THANK YOU SO MUCH, JOMEZ!!!!!
Ever since Isaac was 14 years old we knew he was something special. Congrats to you Michael for not only cultivating a great disc golfer, but an even better person.
The chase card phenomena is b/c all of these players are beyond amazing the only thing that gets them is the pressure and nerve of the lead card, truly freeing up the pressure and anxiety and allowing the players to play as aggressive as it can get and shoot ridiculous scores. And I love it rn, especially because it will subside and players will get better at finishing out on the final day lead card. Isaac dominated this weekend well deserved
@@chucksherron Agreed, the only reason Isaac could hold on to the lead was because he came into it with such a big lead, otherwise chase card couldve realisticly caught him. Still, insane shred from Isaac all 4 days, GG's!
Goncrats Mr. Robinson, great Job! Everybody hopes that you will be there in the most fascinating Disc Gosf Tournament of the Saison, European Open in Tampere. Only 10.000 Fans are waiting for you, Paul, Niklas, Eagle, Väinö etc.
Too bad about Silas not making the last day same card scenario but he still played incredible! I get the feeling we'll be seeing a lot more Niklas on Jomez this summer too. The smoothness of some of these shots these pros are throwing these days is just awe inspiring and I didn't think I could get any more hyped about what we're going to see this season but it's happening! Congrats to Isaac! He made this course look easier than past years for sure!
Issac's smooth, effortless seeming form only hints at his power and accuracy. That dude can chuck a disc like few others. Congrats. This seemed like a friendly, open, fair and even keeled tournament. Ricky and McBeth no where to be seen on coverage. Simon and Eagle in the shadows (until Eagle swoops in at the end). I like those guys but it's good to see _some_ newer faces at the top tier at a really big tournament. Niklas, Joona and Väinö add legitimacy to the power of Finnish disc golf prowess. What a great season we are experiencing.
@@Doesntevenmatterr I guess Ricky's Lyme disease is flaring up again. That sucks. Paul is in a long slump. He will come out of it but other guys are just getting better all the time. It's the nature of the sport and its growth.
Just wanted to say that this golf course is fantastic punishes off-line shots rewards great shots. You have to drive it really well to score here and be an excellent C1 C2 putter fantastic layout would love to see more of these.
This was an amazing tourney. Isaac just lacing pretty much every shot and Niklas chasing with pure shot after pure shot...these fellas set the tone at the top and to be honest, even with James struggling towards the end, their energy helped the other card mates step up their games. Mason Ford...sheesh, he has the touch, and I really enjoyed watching him in the final round. Overall, what a fantastic job by these fellas. Also...Isaac with a wire to wire lead on MPO and Kristin Tattar doing the same on FPO was so great to see.
Those three approach shots on 14 with the turnover backhand are amazing. Think about throwing that shot out in a field. It would look horrible...way too turned over. But that's exactly what this shot in the woods calls for. So cool.
every other shot just simply blows the commentators minds! we get it - these are elite disc golfers... and guaranteed - over the next few years there will be even better disc golfers.
I love how ball golf terms still overflow into disc golf. Should we still call them “holes”? I say we start saying “baskets”…and on this video, we have 9 baskets to go!!!
Isaac when he's on is the best player in the world and it's not really that close. Im not really sure how he accesses this ability to hit every gap and drain every putt but when it happens it's so special and I'm so glad we got to watch the whole thing here on jomez. A tournament for the record books
Jerm, I think you nailed it when you were talking about Robinson and the 'extraneous routine'. I've encountered this phenomenon in other technically oriented activities, where the elimination of 'extraneous routine' becomes the key to nailing your shot. It would seem that the avoidance of unnecessary superstition would eliminate potential "excuses" from rearing their ugly heads. I had little league teammates that swore they missed the ball because I stepped on the chalk line...I said, "no", you missed it because instead of practicing 'getting down on the ball' in practice like you were supposed to, you worried about people stepping on the chalk line...and that became your "excuse" for why you didn't make that play! Don't import bunk. Makes sense to me.
I loved watching yhe coverage of this tournament. I still miss the old layout for the video BUT I loved these nerve wrecking holes being thrown absolutely perfect. The shot shaping in the woods is so satisfying to watch and the course is way more similar to the ones I personally play (obviously way more difficult but wooded lines instead of a golf course layout) than some other courses. I loved it. I loved watching this. I hope wooded courses keep getting even more of the norm on tour. The only thing I didn't like about this course was the amount of par 4:s as it is slightly more difficult to keep track of pace, if more of the holes were more technical and shorter I think it'd be perfect.
Isaac Robinson and Antilla are super impressive They make it look easy even though I’ve never thrown a disk would love to learn how. Hey Uli where are your clinics? Would you come to South Florida to do one?
If there is a course nearby, go there and ask if someone knows any contacts to a local club. Or local club might have a website or FB page or something. I am pretty sure there are people who are willing to teach you. It doesn't even need to be a pro player. Someone who knows how to throw correctly and who is a good teacher. Clinics are not necessarily the best ones. One instructor and 30-40 people. There isn't much time for invidual teaching. There might be a pro close to you or home nearst course who gives private lessons. Probably takes something like 20-30 bucks for an hour.
Awesome to see the final round pressure affect these players where they free wheeled it for three rounds and just the slightest pressured mistakes in the final round created difficulty.
I didn't even know Niklas had taken 2nd place at the USDGC... The DGPT are really screwing us Europeans over with the no post-prod at USDGC. I was so happy to finally see a Finn at the big stage and now I'm just kinda bummed out that he'd already been there once. Really USDGC doesn't feel like a major even to me. I know it's a major and a big deal, but to me as a fan I really couldn't care less about the USDGC as I don't get to be excited to see the round so I just get a facebook post saying somebody won a tournament and move on...
To add to my comment on the front 9, I could hear Uli's voice be kind of upset with Kolings comment at 6:56 about Robinsons shot being bad but Koling comments on it before it even lands just annoying.
Big ups to Paul and Jeremy for their dedication to commentating week in and week out! But I'm watching this and I can't help but to think that they already know Isaac Robinson's final score while commentating... it really takes away from watching Jomez coverage... Just my opinion 🤷
Now I know my opinion is maybe a bit ridiculous here. But I feel like James could be more accurate doing a more controlled runup. His runup is just too flamboyant for me. Obviously, I'm being nitpicky like Paul and it's his own thing. But, I can't stop thinking about how he seems to be less consistent than the rest of the card at this moment. He just seems to be moving so much faster and not getting more distance but is missing more lines.
I've seen a number of slomo side views of James' drives off various tee pads and it just seems relatively out of control compared to nearly everyone else, but it's a stark contrast to Paul McBeth, Bradley Williams, and Mason Ford. Not just because of the size difference, but the pace and form. I'd love to see James take a page out of their books and see about a super controlled, concise walk-up. Given his size and length, I bet he could throw farther than the names I mentioned, given enough time to iron his form out.
You could be correct, I've had that thought before. It's just not going to change at this point though. He isn't 20 years old, he's been throwing that way for so long that to try and totally change it would be very difficult and potentially could be catastrophic to his game. And I mean his wild running form has got him where he's at so even if there is some untapped potential I think he will still be satisfied with his career once its done.
Prodigy has two of the best young players in the game. Shame it’s going to get blown up. Stop paying Cale and KJ and pay the two youngsters taking the league by storm.
