Ya things do get lost in translation with Twitter. Brodie basically just said he learned more from Drew than Paul so nothing really wrong with that. He has been practicing with Drew more in recent months too. The best players don’t always make the best coaches and teachers anyways. That’s true...

Brodie seems to be playing better this year but still not good enough to compete with the best. Also seems like Brodie isn’t a fan of Paul’s teaching: https://twitter.com/brodiesmith21/status/1507111509792591879?s=21&t=AvB4nQMFOkJnbE150dq4ZQ

I was a big fan of Ricky before he was with Innova. I used to cheer for him and against Paul when I first got into disc golf. When Paul when to Discraft and Ricky went to Innova I suddenly became a Paul fan and cheered against Ricky. It happened without thinking into it much. I’ve realized I...

Looks do matter when it comes to sponsorships though. It’s the reason why Maria Sharapova made far more $$$ than Serena Williams even though Serena was the way better player. I didn’t see anyone in this thread make any inappropriate comments about Kona’s looks. Just people pointing out that her...

He likely could have tied that course record too if he didn't try to run the basket with his second shot on 18. He was going for the tie but if he wasn't one stroke back it looked like he could have easily got a 3 on that hole instead of a 4.

Traditional golf is just as boring to watch but they make up for it but having cameras everywhere and jumping from player to player. They get every shot so if someone makes a good one it is shown right away. Traditional golf gets especially boring to watch when the final players are coming in...

Luck is when something happens that is mostly out of the players control like a wind gust or spit out after hitting the chains dead center. A putt that misses without any external factors is not bad luck but rather a bad shot.

That's not luck, it is statistics. If McBeth makes putts at the edge of the circle in tournaments 95% of the time, it means he is going to miss 1 out of 20. This was just 1 of those 20 times he misses. You could say it was bad luck if a bird flew by and hit his disc in the air, or if an...

I like the towel!

I've never thrown one but the Shark3 has your mid flight numbers. The Putter you are looking for might be a Mercy.

Is that a good thing? :p

Stinkbug would actually be a pretty cool name. The thing is, the disc isn't a mid so it doesn't really fit with the Buzzz and Wasp insect type names.

It seems that some don't believe Ultimate is more popular, but even if you think otherwise, you have to admit Ultimate is more mainstream. Has disc golf ever made a SportsCenter Top 10? This one has two plays from Ultimate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88_JBnl_Xp0

So is the 0 3 rating for the Roc3 just way off? Reading this thread, it would seem that it is. Is a Roc3 more like a 0.5 1.5?
