Finally got done reading through this thread. Lots of good points made also some good laughs. Thanks for the entertainment :thmbup:
Some comments on previous posts that I won't bother going back to look for/quote:
1. McBeth did seem a bit uncomfortable at Fiesta, but I doubt it was because of the discs. There were a couple times where the discs did not do what he was expecting the discs to do, but that happened to everyone playing. It was windy. There were a few times where he straight up misfired - you can see it in his body during the throw. Even if his bag was never stolen, he would have missed those shots.
2. Saying that luck did not come into play for Big Jerm to stay in bounds the entire tournament wouldn't be entirely accurate. There were a couple times where his disc was coming in very close to water or OB and just stuck instead of skipping. There was one hole at Fiesta in particular that immediately pops into my head. McBeth and Jerm both threw a very similar looking forehand line... Jerm hits the bank about a foot away from water and digs, while McBeth hits the bank a foot away from water and his disc recoils back and plops OB. That's just one example. Whether you like it or not, luck does come into play in this sport even on more open courses like these.
3. This is probably the best coverage of an event I've ever seen. Incredible live coverage, superb HD content immediately after the event from McFly, and now I'm eagerly awaiting all the other coverage videos with commentary. It's unreal how far media coverage of this sport has come in the past 2-3 years. Big hats off to everyone that is involved. That takes a lot of time and dedication. I know for a fact I won't be able to put my discs down to go and record video for a full day instead of playing. Then editing it all? Nuh-uh.
4. At Am Nats last year Anthony Barela, myself, and a couple of my friends went to throw some holes for fun after the tournament. We only threw putters and minis. AB is insane. For anyone that has played the Toboggan - he got to the base of the hill on 17 with just 2 throws of his mini. His layup went a bit long but he was still putting for 4. On hole 18 his putter drive landed just outside the circle - better than most competitors all week with their drivers. He also wanted to try my buddy's Crank to see if he can eagle hole 2. He was playing it conservative all week but thought he had it in him. He was up at circle's edge in 2 drives and made the putt. The kid is good.
