I just want to say "Thank you" for letting us see that we are not the only ones that hit trees, let go too early or late and sometimes just get in our heads over a disc.
YOOOOO that’s meeeeee!!! 😆 Doin’ great, thanks for askin’! 😅😂👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Also: played a round with a friend today, let a guy play through early on, except he ended up joining us, and he’s only been playing for 2 months but is ballin’! Said he uses your channel to help his game. 😎🤙🏼
I've been a casual player since the 90s. I played most of that time just carrying one disc, and always used competition on a round to decide if I wanted to swap out for something different. I've opened up my game to carrying a small bag of ~6 and found myself once again playing a couple of drivers head to head for a spot. As someone who only gets a couple of rounds a month, it feels like a much better use of my disc time than hanging out in a field. It's great to see this also works for people way more talented and dedicated than me!
Dude i love your videos and attitude!! Thanks for the helpful content!! I started playing disc golf with my 15 year old son to have a common interest. We are both new to the game and your videos are helping.
It was good seeing you that morning out there at George Ward man. I'm excited to see how the video turned out I'm about to check it out. That's me in the white hat, in the group in front of you LOL
I'm going to pretend I'm the Tyler you were talking to and let you know I'm doing great! 6 year anniversary with the wife weekend and our 8 month old is even more of a blessing then we could have ever imagined. You keep rocking Robbie!
I totally appreciate your point of this video on trying to narrow your choices down and I don't want to derail the train. I can also see how your hard work has made some very possitive form changes stick. Congratulations on that. The biggest thing I see now is that I'd keep your hit point exactly where you worked so hard to put it. However I'd lower the peak of the 'reach out/extension' and alter the grip for a nose down release. Right now I'm seeing everything air bounce. I had the same thing going on. Once I started getting the nose angle better/more down, everything dove in to the ground short. Then I lowered the reach back and everything started working as I saw it in my head.
heres some food for thought. i think mids are over used, i use putters up 250-280, this cut down mids to 2 in bag, 5 putters, find a good throwing putter at 4speed(lander is sick disc and game changer for me, and under £/$10), i realised and started using 7/8 speeds 250/300.. mid is for touchy 250/300s. 9s 350.. a mid is one speed of 13.. having more than 2 is dumb. stable and flippy , just in my opinion and ive only recently come to that idea.. but my approach is now strongest part of game.. try my brother.. tell a friend
You’re in my neck of the woods! Shoulda hollered at me I might of made you feel a little better about your game lol. I’m going through form change as well and the inconsistencies are real. I also, finally decided on my putter just wish I threw it the same every time. Just keep at it and keep pushing out positive energy, and things will fall in line.
Dude, I want to make a disc bracket so badly now. 8 straight midranges have a battle for the best. Mako3, the Buzz SS, the Supra, the Hex, an old Super Stingray (the dark horse of the tournament), Emac Truth, the Pathfinder, and a Fuse will go to war!
Great video 🎉 I was just thinking of doing something like this because I have to many fairway drivers , I kid you not thanks for the formula to do it . ❤. Next week I’ll start thanks again 🙏
I like it. I rarely do a full round, but I’ll often throw 2 or 3 on the shots that call for them. I don’t want to take my 3 flippy fairways to a mostly hyzer course and pick the one that performed best on the types of holes where I would never use them.
I've been doing this for years and every time i get a new disc I do a bracket to see if it makes the bag or not and to see if it makes my main thrower as well
Great video. I currently have 3 waves, a hades, a shryke, a tern, and a vanish in the bag trying to find one I can flip and get a good s curve out of but will always fight back. Might need to try this or just go to a field for a few hours haha
So once the bracket is done and you’ve whittled down your bag, is the next step then infilling with backups and working on the beat-in rotation? Or do you save those spots for new shinies?
#donteverbuyajeep 😂 It’s absolutely freaking true though! Good tips here and I’ll be taking this to my local spot to get my bag a little more dialed in.
My whole issue with my bag is disc speed. I was carrying a beat in s-td and a beat in essence. They do the same thing but one is faster and I’m more confident with it but it won’t turn at a lower speed like the essence.
I take mine out to a field and throw them multiple times, both forehand and backhand. Sometimes I'll have two similar discs, but find one works better forehand, and the other works better backhand. Normally I do eliminate some discs. I just did this the other day with some of my 5 speeds.
Would probably make sense to have the overlap drivers but also have overlap midranges so you can get double the practice in one round since you won’t realistically throw drivers for upshots
I have too many fairways, unfortunately I'm a weirdo who really enjoys throwing fairways on my approach shots, leaning on their higher speed requirements to force shots into late fading hyzers shapes for reliable lines. It comes at the risk of some more skips, and occasionally miss judging a shot and it just sailing off into never land. But that really only happens these days when the wind unexpectedly gets a hold of it. That being said I know that Robbie would say my bag has a ton of overlap. And frankly I don't know what I can make do without I feel like my fairways usually have clear roles, since they often take over the mid range and throwing putter role also for me. I love the feel of a driver in hand, it's miles more comfortable than any mid or putter I've found, and for me that translates to confidence I can make the shot. But I do keep mids on hand since you only really get hyzer shapes out of approach shots with a driver. And often you need a shot that isn't a hyzer.
Hey Robbie!! I noticed that after every drive, you let out a big exhale, like you’re holding your breath through the motion of the drive. Is that on purpose? And if so, why?
Hmmm, I don't put , nor really know how to put that much effort into my throw. Your breath, exhaust at the end of your shots, makes it seem that you are in fact putting a ton of effort into them (probably a good thing, vs me, wondering where all that effort is coming from and why am I missing it! :) Sounds like you are just coming off a heavy treadmill session or just finished a PB squat! :)
So, Robbie, I won a tumbleweed at a tourney, and i haven't thrown it, basically, at all. But I've heard it fills that Flippy roller position, not consistently the thrower. Wouldn't that give the disc a spot to consider?
Hey Robbie, if you do another one of these comparison videos, I think it would be pretty cool if you compare the MVP entropy, the west side harp and the innova pig
The charger is 💰 wife got me a gstar charger, aced a 364ft low ceiling hole 3 weeks later. Did you find the halo was more resistant to turning over vs gstar? I am debating adding the Barsby halo charger.
I realized I don't really have Understable disc but one, most of my disc are Overstasble bc when I throw i tending to throw some unintentional anhyzer.
For what it's worth, that Core Blend Wild Honey is WAAAAAY more understable than the Steady. That said, disliking the hand-feel of a disc is a valid reason to stop using it. I hate the rim on the Buzzz, and I SUPER-hate the rim on the Roc.
i think your form is coming along nicely. im working on the same thing you are, hitting the 10 o clock release, keeping my head down, not watching the shot or letting go/ re-gripping it, etc.. putting is gonna take a while, for me.
it seems we have similar arm speeds, and like same discs.. my secret weapon is DAEDALUS 160G GSTAR.. SUPER FLIPPY BUT GOES FAR!!! the max weights have more disc on underside so overstable, can shave off excess on ground if you get max weight and star plastic.. but one hell of a disc. if tree corridor and tree/obstacle direct in front of corridor at 300ft-350 , you shape shot around.. its nasty!
A tip for overlap: don't focus on marketing and what the pros throw, or go to stores or websites and buy a million discs all the time. You're more likely to have overlap if you're constantly buying new discs, or wondering what this plastic does vs this one. Commit and just play with your discs for a while. If you feel a need later that you have a hole in your disc selection, then buy a new disc. I played with the same bag for 15 years and only had 5-7 discs.
try a few discs in different plastics, or same plastics different weights, it will alter shape and flight no end.. if only there was disc golf driving ranges where you can try 10 destroyers, 10 wraiths, 10 zeus's....either all the same or different weights or plastics, if you love a disc you can buy at end of practice, pay say $1 a disc for rental. $20 to buy. youll get some beat in.. i live alone so i just buy 10 at a time🤣, if i bag a disc, then field work is actually productive. you learn a disc in 1 practice..
Robbie, disc selection is important, but not nearly is important as the art of the throw. You know that, which is why you have been working on your form so much. It’s the archer, not the arrow, that makes the kill.
Knowing how much most people like it when players ahead of them are throwing multiple discs, this definitely looks like an excellent fieldwork activity.
Something we do not know about is on your mind bud. Hope you figure out what’s not right in life. Maybe Conner at Foundation is talking to you too much!!
Hey brother just some friendly advice. I noticed that 100% of the time you are exhaling after the disk has already left and you've already spun through your follow through and then you exhale. Almost? Every physical activity should be coordinated with breath at the moment. Of greatest exertio So at the moment the disk is leaving your fingertips is when your exhale should be. I am a personal trainer high level martial artist as in grand mastered several sports and all of that holds true through every type of sport you play
