2018 Memorial Championship

[Lazerface]

I really loved Nate Doss's commentary. The nickname thing made me giggle every time. He started the broadcast with T-Mobile, snuck in a TMZ at one point and finally broke with Teapot I think. I cant remember which one. He just couldnt hold back the laughter. There was a teerex in there as well. I loved it.

Most jump putts are as questionable as the dreaded step putt. I don't know why everyone obsesses over the step putt and potential contact in front of the lie, when most jump putts have no supporting point behind the lie

Here's a still shot of Paige Pierce:

Watch Nikko's jump putt:

Is there any supporting point behind the lie when the disc is released? (Plenty of other players jump this way as well.)

Until all jump and step putts are disallowed, or a rule change adds language to clarify their legality in regards to the lie, I just can't argue about them anymore. It's a total gray area.

I agree, I've always said ok...you play your throw from your marker, but wait...you can step or jump, and actually release the disc 2-4ft PAST your mark? That is just....stupid for the sport.

Similar to shooting a 3 pointer and landing in front of or on the 3 point line. It's only to generate more power, no?

I really loved Nate Doss's commentary.

I loved everything about Nate's commentary EXCEPT the t-isms, "weather by Nate Doss", "beautiful hair", etc, etc. yah..I know alot of people like that style of commentary, kind of like the CCDG guys style, etc, etc, and I know I'm in the minority.. just waiting for the "Jim Nantz" of disc golf to show up. Otherwise...stellar live coverage. Technically no stutters, no lag, for me what so ever and I'm on 15mb connection out in the country. Congrats to Simon and Eagle, you know their sponsor is like... #boom

discetball ??? lol.. well.. it does say "golf" in our sport, so imop fwiw it seems silly to be able to throw past your mark in any capacity.

Was just making the comparison because you said stupid for the "sport" of disc golf. I love me some jump putts so I'm biased

My favorite was Sweet Tea . idk how he came up with so many on the spot, and used them so casually

I switched off Live and am watching CCDGs R3 vids.

This. I really appreciate the effort to bring us live coverage. But I guess Jomez and CCDG spoiled us good...

 

[Hampstead]

Jump putts are the worst.

James Conrad has the step putt down though, he's 100% clean.

 

[DinosaurThunder]

Good, I'm glad this forum is getting the step/jump putt debate out of it's system early this year.

I check in on the Crashboxxx from time to time, but yeah until live coverage is the same level as Jomez and CCDG then they will get my views.

Just watched round 2 of the Memorial on CCDG. Couple questions about Paul's gear:

1. Commentator said he was throwing the Firebird on at least one hole. I thought he took it out of his bag and was using FD3's instead? Innova pushing him to throw Innova only?

2. Noticed he was carrying a Grip. I thought Innova had their own backpack bags. I've seen some of them up close. Seem well made.

Give to their Patreon and maybe they'll get there faster. :thmbup:

 

[Soups]

Again, with the greatest respect to the live coverage - will there be an edited down version of the final round?

 

[brutalbrutus]

Jomez covered the lead card final round.

Thank you very much, brutalbrutus!

He started bagging a Firebird again very late in the season last year.

Well, all the attention comes with the territory. She'll get used to it.
