Interesting. You're putting McBeth's forehand as better than every 1000 disc golfers, period? Or every 1000 competitive disc golfers? If you assume for 100,000 competitive disc golfers, you're putting him in the top 100 forehand throwers out there.

Cale and Nikko are close friends. He always helped to support/spread the word about Fly Life which is Nikko's company.
Is that the cell phone company?

No, I believe Fly Life does stuff to promote the sport. Clinics, tournaments, etc. He also sells apparel and discs with various artwork.

McBeth's forehand is good but nothing special. I've seen a decent amount of footage of him and not one flick shot has left me saying wow. It is certainly not a "great" forehand.

I know they're friends but it wasn't even Cale's size. It looked small. Pretty sure he just didn't have a clean shirt.

I've seen better forehands at my local course. Nothing against Paul.

Is there 100 better fore handers in the world? I originally did mean out of all disc golfer in general, from the rec chucker to the elite pro.

I've seen him get up and down a TON with the FH. He's not throwing it 400 but on 250-350 range he's pretty deadly accurate. He is the best player on the planet after all.

Paul uses his forehand to save him strokes. He's above average in every aspect of his game, except putting. I would say that's the best part of his game, and that he's the best in the world
Paul doesn't throw much understable stuff to extend the range of his forehand. I'm sure he might be able to, but why when he is deadly with the backhand? He takes the overstable stuff and crashes the pin. This is good in wind and utility, but you wouldn't do this if you were a great forehand player (for the same reason you don't throw your firebird 250 to 350 on a simple backhand hyzer shot)

Paul has a sickly accurate sidearm that doesn't miss very often. I know, I played with him a bit last year at NTiers and saw it. For those of you at home watching videos, just remember... you're at home watching videos. Once you play against him and beat him (more likely he beats you...badly) then you can compare yourself to him. Watching videos doesn't make you an expert.

I just think that he is so consistent with the FH and usually not flashy that it doesn't look impressive. Give him a month and I bet he could play FH only and still be 1000 rated. It is that good, of course his putting is probably the best in the world and that helps.
You do know who won the memorial 2 years in a row now right...?
soooo I would say, yep. The NT Broom is dusting em up.

I think he understands that no FH dominant player has lasted very long in this game and chooses to use it sparingly and not for distance/power. Paul will be around a long time; Ricky, Jerm and other FH dominant players will not (unless they stop throwing FH so much).

Is this a trick question?
