Are there any discs you would definitely bag if you weren't Innova sponsored?

 

[KYdischippy]

Paul, how many casual rounds and how many training rounds do you put in in a week?

 

[PMcBeth]

Thanks for doing this Paul and congrats on what you have accomplished in dg.
i was wondering if you might ever play a Wisconsin event?

I hope so, I just havent seen abything tempting enough to go up there lately.

 

[PMcBeth]

Paul, whats the worst disc you've ever thrown. The one you would never throw again.

Epic

 

[PMcBeth]

1]Would you consider going to a B tier?
2]If said tournament was the week after a nearby tournament you played, what would it typically take to get a top pro to come? (Assuming they had no interest in said tournament, but also no big plans for said week)
3]How much easier would it be to convince a female player to come? (Or would it be harder?)
4]How many players would you suggest incentivizing?

Thanks for your time!

1) yes
2)yes if nothing else was planned
3)should be no different, but I can see if there are no females they wont go
4)as many as you can

No i'm happy with my selection

Paul, how many casual rounds and how many training rounds do you put in in a week?

Typically 5 but you have to realize its 5 rounds of throwing 5 drives,upshots,putts so equivalent to 25 rounds a week

Do you carry more discs when you throw rounds like this? Do you keep 5 scores?

Do you carry that many duplicate discs or is it a normal bag setup with different weights/plastics etc.?

If you and MJ love Nevin, you two have to come to the Delaware Disc Golf Challenge in Sept. The first time I played Nevin, I thought it was the closest course I'd ever played to Iron Hill. I know Renny is cool, but Nevin made me feel like I was home.

Iron Hill was quite the challenge! I'm also a big fan of Nevin and IH was at or near the top of my list of favorites when I was living in MD and playing around that area over the summer.

No normally they same bag just try every shot possible to keep familiar with each disc. Also I typically just keep score from my first shots

Paul -

Baseball is full of slumps and hot streaks. Have you found your DG career to be similar?

Also, superstitions were always fun in baseball as I played through high school (not stepping on foul lines before the game or mentioning a pitcher's no hitter, etc). Once I went on a hitting streak wearing a pair of cleats that were missing a couple spikes so when I got a new pair, I took the same spikes off to keep consistent ha. Of course it was more about confidence and joking with teammates than anything.

I've found I have a few quirky habits in DG as well (holding every disc at the 2 o'clock position, among others). Would you say you have any superstitions or even any routines that are more about luck/confidence? Thanks.

Which car company do you think would be willing to make a car that would be great for Disc Golfers at heart, and what features would you want in said car?

 

[Always Hyzer Lines]

What Roc's do you throw?

Also, is there a distance that you change your putting style? Can you use your "normal" putting style at 40?
