MJ. As someone who owns a homemade bag, I look forward to you playing with your denim bag.

I'll have to take a picture of it at some point.
I dont think black jack is closed, they just keep it that way to make it hard to get on to.
I have no clue. It all depends on when the discraft guys and the film crew get everything done. I'm not in the loop on these things

Shun the frumious Bandersnatch!
I have an older 2007 ESP XL in my bag and those are more like a Z Stalker in flight but with the Dump Fade of an XL.
The more modern runs of Z after 2008 until the runs in 2016-2017 sometime that had the occasional sparkle, were made to be like old Elite Z that had the Stamp right into the disc with the specific era logo with the Disc going to the end T on Discraft, that was a basket that Discraft used and still uses from time to time. I had one of those old Elite Z with the built in stamp from 2008 up to in 2017 when gave the disc to my mom as a back up for a at one point clear tournament stamp 2006 Z XL she uses as she does not use much power on rare occasion she does play Disc Golf.
I got the Z Stalker as a replacement for the old Elite Z XL then oop in 2017 at the time wanting a new Z XL. I thought in 2018 when the no flight number Z was being run out for molds that the Stalker was disappearing so I bought 6 more Z Stalker at 170-172 gram weight set that I liked so I am basically set for life as the Z plastic no matter the run takes really long time to wear out, unless the person with the disc in Z is a touring pro. Z Stalker is like the old ESP XL but without the hard dump on the fade the way all ESP XL were before they got stopped thanks to the 2008 being year of only ESP FLX. The Z Stalker keeps getting distance as it is going to the ground but has almost the same Fade just missing the end dump that stops the disc prematurely from running into the ground at end of flight.

I havent been paying attention to any of the things they are all doing. I'm not much for doing social media and things like that.
It does look fun. I'm tempted to try it myself but definitely without the video or social mediazisation. All you need is a basket in some empty space with something like 10 to 30 putters.
Dangit MJ, you're a fossil and so am I! We'll probably need to figure out this social media stuff in the age of social distancing.
I'm also not a big self promoter and pusher of things. I just try and do me and if people like it, then that's all good, but I'm not going out of my way to try and build a brand on social media and such
I generally carry 2 cranks, one in esp and one in Z plastic
Totally get it. Just more for my own curiosity than anything... Seemed like a drill that would be cool to watch you attempt, that's why I brought it up. I know we're all itching to see some MJ action, so if we're not able to compete with other people, you can always compete against yourself
But I get it, I'm not a big social media guy myself...
Basically the challenge is... You get 1 hour, and start at 10ft from the basket. When you make the shot, you move back another 10 feet. You keep moving 10ft further as you make the shots until your time runs out. I think the best is at 160ft that I've seen. Kind of a fun game to challenge yourself, and get some distance putting/upshot practice.

I might try this at some point, but I doubt I'll get much past 60'.
And we love you more for it! I would never want to change MJ. We're happy you spend some time on DGCR, that's for sure!
For everyone on this channel, if you love MJ and beautiful disc golf on beautiful courses, I highly recommend the following videos. (Especially with the "stay on YouTube" orders, I mean "stay at home"...) MJ was on fire and hence on the lead card all three rounds, and it's at one of the best courses in the world, Moraine State park near Pittsburgh. It's a solid top 20 in the country, and some would say it should be top 10.
I actually went through these and stalked his bag for the whole tourney, throw by throw. I can't be totally sure about some, but here's my summary of the discs he threw. (If MJ is bored, he can correct some. Did I miss a Zone?). I've added my throw talleys for each disc. I'm sure there are some errors.
Putters:
blue D? Banger GT - 9 throws
purple ESP Banger GT (the famous one) - 6 throws
yellow-green ESP? Banger GT - 7 throws
Green and Pink X soft Ringers for some hot putting in this tourney - 72 total by my count
Mids:
green Ti Comet - 5 throws
Z glow Comet - 3 throws
Z sparkle (MJ tour 2017) Comet - 9 throws
Drivers:
Purple Z Undertaker - 11 throws
Pink/red Z Mantis - 29 throws (this made me buy a Z Mantis)
Green Z Machete - 3 throws
Pinkish/Reddish Z Crank - 9 throws
Bright yellow Z Force - 1 throw

MJ, I hope my obsession doesn't scare you! But I've watched this whole tournament at least twice, once while prepping for the 2018 PFDO. Since I love Moraine so much and have played it many times, it helps to watch you and see how you manage the holes so well. :thmbup:
Yes I have
No you didnt miss a zone. Did not have one in the bag for that event
Nice. I loved watching you forehand the Ringer and Undertaker at least a couple times. It shows that even "backhand dominant" players need to learn how to forehand some more neutral flying discs instead of going straight to the Zone or Machete for every forehand.
Where does Moraine rank in your list of personal favorites? I haven't played tons of North Carolina courses, but I found that Nevin was my favorite Charlotte area course, and it reminded me a little bit of Moraine.
I really like moraine, it's a sweet course that has aged fairly well. I have no clue to where I would rank it, as I have never really thought about doing that
