Would You Rather Throw 200 Feet Farther or Make Every Putt? | Disc Golf Challenge 

Hey guys! I think Trevor having to putt twice from inside the circle and make both instead of flipping a disc would be more entertaining and solve the tap in dilemma. Love the videos! Keep it up!

Depends on the course

No break 68 this year?

Can’t understand point

This was not implemented well lol. Fun thought though.

They should do this but for the putting debuff, you have to make the putt twice, and for the buff you get two chances to make the putt. That seems the most fair way to double and half your putting abilities.

Great concept, but come on guys, if someone is under the basket, they cant miss, other than that, i liked it.

I think you guys should have done where Trevor would have needed to make TWO putts for it to count inside C1, OR let the 50/50 flip be just for one stroke (you miss the putt but guaranteed the next one). Bullseye would be a gimme. It seemed like Trevor’s score relied a LOT on luck.

I think Trevor should have only been able to add 200 feet on his drive. A short upshot doesn’t really change even if you have more distance. Great video though!

As far as a comparison to the theory I have no words. What I can say is that you guys are like a fine wine. The clever content. The way you sell your sponsors. Not to mention watching your friendship and work relationship clash together. Your guys really have put yourselves out there. Being able to watch it blossom into what is becoming is pretty cool. You deserve all the success you are getting. Thanks for all the hard work.

I think a big issue I have with this is the putting rules are super simple, but the distance rules are kind of funky and leave a lot to chance. Hunter just has to throw good lines until he's in the circle. Trevor has to calculate vectors and make decisions about using his ability to get inside the circle. And then finally he can leave it to chance. If 400 ft is your golf line. Keep the putting rules the same, and then do 200 ft added distance but only on the drive (or first two on a par 5). Being able to scoot your disc up under the basket 80 ft on your third throw has nothing to do with distance arguments. And then inside the circle he has to make two in a row.

Tap ins should be 100% anything outside of that should be a flip. Fun video!

The weird thing is that you throw putters 300ft instead of using a 9-11 speed like most ams that can barely break 300 do. The biggest benefit of throwing far is being able to throw mids and putters on longer shots.

Hey! This was my Patreon question! This is so exciting to see as a video!

Eagle, congrats on Team %any brand here%!

The idea that you can only move 200 feet STRAIGHT forward and tap-ins aren’t automatic was and is ludicrous. 🙃

+200 ft buff should only work if you throw a full power drive, and only if you don't hit a tree. To balance that, ditch the 50/50 putts if you can reach in the basket, so laying up within C1 becomes a valid strategy (but one that Trevor won't succeed with every time).

You should have just moved Trevor’s lie and tee shot 200 ft closer to the basket. Edit, also tap ins aren’t putting imho so the flip should have been for outside 10ft.

Welcome back, big hunt!

I need the conman shawman

I’m gonna be brutally honest Silas is not good with a camera.

Video 25 of asking Silas for Follow Flights 🤤

How come Trevor had to make the putt before he flipped to see if he could keep it? If the idea of this is truly what Hunter is convinced of, then shouldn't Trevor have flipped before he putted and just seen whether he "made it" or not?

Trevor really shouldn't have to make the putt AND win the flip. Maybe it should have been just flip if inside C1 and keep flipping until he wins a flip. So a strole for every lost flip.

On my local courses i would say putting. There's 1 hole over 500ft and only 5 over 400ft, so i dont need 400+ft distance very often.

I'm hype you guys ended up doing this, I had left the comment on Grip Locked when you talked about this

To add my two cents, I think if it were just adding buffs to each of your game and alternate the holes? Putting buff: 100% in the circle and 2 chances from 33ft to 50ft. Driving distance buff: Add 150ft, but maybe increase in distance based on drawing the same line +200ft instead of mirroring the casual relief rule. The handicaps hurt to watch. Maybe add other buffs and just make it a game? Accuracy driving buff: 2 off the tee. Upshot accuracy buff: 2 shots from 175ft to 80ft out. Inside circle buff: 100% inside the circle. Outside the circle buff: 33ft to 50ft (2 putts) 50ft to 70ft (3 putts). ORRR create a list of characters based on current pros, maybe using mocks ups of trading cards that are drawn randomly at the start of each hole, each of the characters have a set of abilities, maybe some handicaps? Example? Gannon Buhr Improved circle 2 putting: For all putts taken within 33-66ft from the target, take a second putt if the first is missed. Single use ability: Flex line accuracy: If throwing an overstable flex shot, gain shot accuracy buff and take a second shot. If single use ability is used all concurrent shots must be timed by card mates. If 30 seconds are exceeded, receive one penalty throw.

Trevor shouldn't have to putt at all inside C1. If he is inside he just instantly flips on if he makes it or not.. If you force him to make the putt it compounds the miss percentage. Say he is 60% C1, if he has a 25 footer and has to putt it then flip his make percentage goes to 30% (.6 x .5) so by making him actually putt his make percentage drops to even lower than the theoretical 50%. Do it again!! Fun watch!

Hunter should be forced to rethrow if he throws at least 25 feet past 300 feet. If he does it again on the same throw he is penalized. Trevor should have to make 2 putts in a row instead of the flipping a disc. There is no reason why Trevor shouldn't ALWAYS putt from 10.01 meters if he has to option to. Assuming he is at least 51% from just outside the circle. This would prevent that and actually cut his putting by 50%. This should be done on a course where there are more 300-400 foot holes. For Hunter to have any chance at New London, Trevor HAS to have a bunch of bad flips essentially. Trevor can throw putters and mids and be more accurate to so the 200 feet extra is way more accurate for him on the shorter courses. Since he can easily throw 400 with drivers but putters and mids is another thing.

Posting this answer solely based off of the video title. I'd settle for just another 50'. Seem to be stuck at 350-370' max. Just those extra 50 feet would give more looks at putts. It would be sweet to hit every putt, but having more looks would be more fun long term. Being perfect at anything would kinda take the fun out of things. At least for me. Now to watch the video...

I think Trevor should only have to flip if he makes a C1X putt.....That's where average putters are 50/50.....I would say most players are 90% 10 ft in.

Absolutely love the concept of this video! However, I don’t think we got to see the full advantage of 200 extra feet. I understand the theory of “keeping the line,” but extra distance unlocks the ability for new lines… I’d think the spirit of the thing is more important than the actual line Trevor puts it on initially (especially if you’re going to keep flipping for tap in putts). Just give yourself a similar look farther down toward the basket (not deeper in the woods or way off target)

Why is this experiment even necessary? Distance separates different skill levels. Now when i say distance in skill levels it's a big gap. 20ft isn't going to cut it. You need 60 to 100ft depending on the course. The Little things like putting, approaches, and versatility separates people within those skill levels.

Maybe I’m mistaken…but since the idea is you miss 50% of C1X (not just C1) it eliminates bullseye…like others are saying, a true tap in isn’t going to be missed but you could say everything 10-33ft you flip for it?

putting is way more important in my opinion

Fun idea but this rule set doesn’t accurately depict the real argument, nobody is so bad at putting that they would miss a literal drop in 50% of the time. I think a better version of this would be always add 1 to Trevor’s putt unless it’s a tap in. Meaning if he makes a 12+ footer you add one to his score. But if it’s a tap in you don’t add anything extra. Simulates someone who can’t putt more realistically. Part of the advantage of the drive for show person would be if they gave themselves tap ins they don’t need to be good at putting. The only advantage the putt for dough person has is they don’t need to approach as accurately/they can run longer putts and make the come backer. But they mathematically can’t make a lot of birdies depending on the length of the hole.

The method you picked for Trevor’s putting made absolutely no mathematical correlation to the entire question. It’s not 50% inside circle 1 if he’s constantly missing 1-3 foot putts.

I feel like the Trevor putting rule negated the experiment. As well as Hunter having to move back. Would have been more accurate without those two stipulations. Just my opinion though. Very entertaining regardless.

I think the math was wrong for Trevor inside the circle. He should have flipped every time he's inside the circle and not putt. Let's just say he's a 70% circle 1 putter, you're taking 50% of that since he doesn't flip on misses

Logic is flawed here.. you're not taking into account that Trevor's putting is likely less than 50% from C1 already...

If you really wanted trevor to have 50% putting in c1x, you should have just taken his number of strokes inside c1, and added half as many to his final score. No putting, same as hunter

Y'all did this wrong. Just have Trevor play as normal keeping track of C1 putts. At the end just subtract 50% of the C1 makes.

I think next time Trevor only gives to move closer on his T shot. Hitting a tree and then getting to move closer seems dumb lol. Either that or he HAS to take exactly 200 feet. Hunters stuck at 300 so if Trevor is taking the distance it should be the full 200 whether that’s good or bad

Not sure why Trevor wasn’t throwing a putter dead straight down the middle and then marching 200 ft forwards. If you throw 600 ft then you’re throwing putters 400 with control

Caveat to Trevor's bonus could be: You can add up to 200ft, but you can't do more than double your distance. In other words, if you only throw it 50 feet, you can only add another 50.

This was a great idea but Trevor should not have been setting his disc in the perfect spot! Unless Hunter was able to put his in the perfect spot. The one hole is 250 straight and then 450 something left and he can just take it 200 feet or until he has a great line?? I don’t know!!

So on hole 3 when Trevor putted from 40 feet couldn't he have moved up to right outside circle and been closer without having to flip. Because it's up to 200 feet he can move closer right?

I think it goes against the spirit of the hypothetical question to make Trevor have to flip for tap ins too. Having your c1 percentage cut in half obviously means on actual putts, not under the basket drop ins. I'd like to see a video like this again but nerf the tap in putt disc flip.

Wouldn’t c1x putting percentages be everything outside of the bullseye? So in theory you wouldn’t be flipping the disc on a tap in

What if I can't throw 300' and I only make about half my C1 putts anyway? Can I take the + distance and leave my putting alone?

Just because you can throw a disc 200 ft further doesnt mean if you hit a tree you still get 200 ft more. Its the steroids in baseball idea. Just because you can hit a ball a mile doesnt make every hit a hr. Still have to hit the right angle on the bat.

I would much rather make every put. I aready throw 100-120 meters consistently and as an amateur / recreational player that is more than enough. If i made every put i would be scoring very well for my skill level.

I feel like for the distance debuff it shouldn’t just be a flat number, it should reflect an overall power decrease so putter max D should be different than driver max D

Trevor shouldn’t be able to move forward if he hits a tree. Even if you can throw a disc 200ft further, a tree still knocks it down.

....kinda feel like a drop in should count without a flip....a 5ft drop in seems kinda automatic.

I think counting tapins was silly, but otherwise made sense. Just because it's almost 100% physically impossible to miss a tap in.

If you can throw 450 and you through it into the woods. Having distance isn't going to help you get out of there.....

didn't like the 50/50 for EVERY putt. no one is missing that many putts once they are inside the circle.

If I could throw 200 more feet, putting wouldn't be required on 17 out of 18 holes at my local course.

It was so satisfying when Trevor said, "I trusted the disc, go ahead and look at it" and it stuck so perfect heads up, no question.

Tap ins can’t be a coin flip - bullseye and in aren’t subject to the flip, c1x (outside bullseye) is… opinion…

I love the idea for the video, but we know nobody misses a 3-5’ putt, so the only ones he should have to flip on are ones that are somewhat challenging. Or he could have to make every putt twice for it to count.

I dont understand why trevor didnt use his advantage on hole 18 at all!

As soon as trevor picked the cap rap i knew he was losing. Should have gone with whatever disc has the most dome in his bag, if it hits on the top it will pop right back over most of the time.

If Trevor hits a tree, he doesn't get 200 ft of extra distance. He should only get the extra distance if his shot was clean.

If you lose 50% of your putts then everyone of the putts that was inside of the circle you add them up at the end and then you would take half of them away.

I think this woulve been better with c1x taken out for trevor. Not even Catrina Allen is missing 3 tap ins in a row

Trevor should just have to make one putt since he's about 50% from C1 anyway

moral of the story... if you can't hit your line, it doesn't matter if you can throw far or putt good xD

Trevor flipping the disc for tap-ins from the bullseye ruins the video.

For the 300 foot person should map the course for perfect 300 foot shot to C1 and that’s your score to beat.

Yea... you guys should have really thought through the putting situation better...

miss opportunity! you could have brought a penny putter for the coin flips. just makes cents ;)

I didn't realize that was Konner on the Shaman - I thought it was Post Malone.

C1x doesn’t include tap ins! He shouldn’t have had to flip inside 11 feet

With the rules how you made them you'd be better off moving up to 34 feet lol

Good drives make putts easier but good putts don't help drives

That's what Trevor gets for putting with a driver on the last hole. lol

in order to prove it you have to repeat the results so now do it with the roles swithced

All discs technically have bias to land top side down - physics!!

I make 18 putts a round. I rather be able to throw 200 feet further.

Should do a putter only round v driver only no length restriction

Trevor should only be able to add 200 if it’s a clean shot.

Does it get annoying having so many comments telling you what to do?

I’m just gonna putt from the tee box. Ace every time.

Who had more fun though I’ll still take the distance

Who's got it? Kon's got it! Who's got it? Big Kon's got it!

honestly as a bad putter, this resembled it a decent bit!

I don’t need to throw 750, I need to make every putt

Honest to god.. this video was confusing as heck.

Should have been c1X for Trevor, not the whole c1.

I think the flip for the putt should be C1x

Well, I can't afford to lose any distance.

Basically made Trevor into Evalina lol

It's time......to invest in microphones

I love the concept but I think it would’ve been better if hunter could throw normal distance and Trevor could put normally. I feel like that would truly give an accurate depiction of simply adding 200 feet and simply being 100% from c1x

I was lost until I was rangefound

Good idea but stupid execution

200ft farther without a doubt

I think for the putting, it should have just been every other hole the made put is counted as a miss to be more accurate. Essentially it's adding 9 strokes to the round anyway. that's more accurate of MISSING 50% of putts as opposed to a 50% chance you get to keep the made putt or not.
