The Ask MJ & Comet Love Thread

[The Hammer]

The mental game is the toughest part of a tournament

No doubt.

just curious how many comets are currently in the new bag? watching the Azalea i think i saw at least two and then a glo disc but i think that was a buzzz? Also have you ever thought about doing a bag in the bag section on the website? I know you are super busy but i know tons of people would love to check it out .. here is the thread just incase http://www.dgcoursereview.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=37

I could probably wager a guess...
a couple of ringers (a freshier one and last years putter)
probably 4ish Bangers (a couple of ProD's and a Z)
a Couple o Comets
a Buzzz or two
a Couple o XL's
Pred, Force, Nuke

Close?

^^ lol yeah i know pretty much what he carrys.. forgot the Surge i know he has a green z that he bombs.. im more curious about the Comets..if all elite-z

 

[Mr. America]

He hasn't answered, but I'm sure he will. A couple weeks ago I believe he had 2 Z Comets, one X Comet. Bangers he had one or two of the lower end plastic and at least one ESP?

Good luck in the Clash MJ.

I keep three in the bag at all times! One x and two z. With the new bag i might put another in

MJ,

I spend a lot of time working on keeping my drives lower/flat only to play Bradford this last weekend for the Clash and needing to throw high over the cedars and pines on holes 8 and 11. I threw a beat Star TL (a bit understable but not flippy) with nose down/pull thru up the get a decent flex shot over everything but still left me a 40-50 ft putt. I don't have enough power to throw a spike hyzer 360-375 ft for these holes. Is this combo (understable/nose down/pull thru up) the best for this type of shot? Maybe a high anhyzer with something even more understable (leopard)?

i never read this thread but whats up with your game old man?

About two months behind after dealing with a hip injury over the winter

No questions for MJ, but you're a rad dude and I wish the game had more players like you.

I just wanted to chime in with some Comet love. I've been throwing a Z Comet the last month or so (my first experience with Comets). The first two times I threw it were on the first two holes of my home course and I parked both. A very controllable, neutral mid.

But what amazes me about this disc is it's glide. It's more of a slow, but long float, almost like a lid, that just goes forever. Until this disc, I never knew Z/Champion/Opto plastic could glide like this (and I've thrown Opto Rivers and Saints). It's amazing; I heard Cam Todd say in an interview once, Comets "are like a frisbee and a disc all in one" and I didn't understand what he meant... Now I do!

At Bradford, I too throw those shots with an understable disc. #8 short I throw a TB beat to tl status and on #11 I throw an understable destroyer. I throw out to the right with hyzet and let the disc stand up and then fall back to the basket. Also, #11 plays longer than it looks, its a rip to get onto that upslope where the basket is.

Nice! Glad to have a convert to the love of the comet

For some reason, I can't send you a pm, so i'll ask you here:

Would you like to play a round at Hornet's Nest tomorrow? The weather is supposed to be nice, and I would love to play a round. I like to play in the later morning (around 10:30 or 11:00) before the course gets too crowded if that works for you.

I would love to see you tear the course up.

 

[mj20300]

I can probably do that

 

[5QU166Y]

I can probably do that

I'll probably be there around 10:30, then. Looking forward to it!

What happened here? What were you throwing? Amazing way to scramble back on the hole!

That was a long time ago. Like 04, pretty sure i was just going for a hyzer dump shot thru the gap. Didnt do that well, but the rest of the hole saved it

 

[mj20300]

Probably a firebird was what i threw off the tee
