Brodie Smith PDGA #128378
- Thread starter DiscFifty
- Start date
All of his vids views are down. Most of his vids (non disc golf content) get around 1-200k views a month, not bad..but far from his peak a few years ago. His wedding video from a month ago only has around 110k views.

Make it rubber wristbands, and they'll look like tagged animals in the wild.

Practice round with Paul and Hannah. Brodie ties with Hannah, and only throws standstill off the tee. Paul, in a walking boot and only throwing forehands, easily wins.

Yeah...
Interesting video.
I believe that it's a few weeks old.
Brodie has a lot of work to do if he wants to compete seriously, but with Paul coaching him and his natural athletic abilities, who knows what he can accomplish.
And no, I do not believe he will be 1000-rated in his first year.
A little off-topic,
Hannah's throw looks a lot better, compared to last year. It's obvious that she's putting in the work. Distance could be better but most throws were on a good line.
Paul's forehand is getting some serious reps

If I recall correctly, Hannah is around 920 rated, and Brodie tied her. Not sure if they were counting the mulligans or not (I think they probably scored from their first shots), but if not, that gives a baseline for Brodie's rating. As said earlier, that was also with Hannah looking better than last time we saw her throw. Also, Brodie was less than a month into his DG career at the time of filming this, not even using a full run up.
I think it's safe to say he'll have a shot at reaching 950 fairly easily sometime this season. 1000 takes a level of consistency I don't think he'll have yet, but maybe next year.

Everyone's entitled to his or her (hir) opinion.
Even when it's wrong.
Try the Sheik Yerbouti album, and listen all the way through. If you can't find something you enjoy, then your ears are malfunctioning.
I kid, but...dang. Zappa is a National Treasure. A man who detested lyrics in his music, but recognized the need for them in popular music, if only to be thought of as 'normal' songs.

That's a pretty fair assumption and what I was thinking too. He's going to be competitive in Am1 right out of the gate which in all fairness is still pretty impressive for someone whose basically a newb.
I'd assume if that's the case he'll be at Am Nats on the Tobog in Michigan given it's a big Discraft sponsored event.

Paul milking the pro side, Brodie the am side. Sounds like a legit strategy for Discraft.

I still don't buy it. The recent videos don't even show me someone who will be competitive in Am1 at local C-tiers. He looks like a run of the mill Am2 player right now.
He can throw reasonably far from a standstill and has a good clean putting motion. He is still throwing occasional random WTF Richard drives. He appears to still be learning the ropes when it comes to shot selection and strategy. He needs to get a lot of competitive DG under his belt quickly. My guess is that it will be unsanctioned, Discraft-sponsored events for a while so he doesn't get a crummy rating on paper.

By the end of the year Brodie will have at least a dozen Ace Race wins.
Yeah, I get that. But Brodie sure looked like he was playing bogie golf through much of that video. So I guess what I should have said is "I don't know how Brodie was even par through 17 holes."

How many holes did they even show? Couldn't have been more than 8 or 9...

Actually, I went back and skipped thru it and they did show all the teeshots. It didn't feel like they did watching it the first time. They did cut a lot of approaches and putts though. But it's not like it was a difficult course and he did seem to have several birdies.

Oh... and it is ridiculous how good cellphone cameras are getting.
Next generation should have built in gimbals, at that point game over for gopro, etc.
