The Official 'Ask Paul McBeth' Thread

[PMcBeth]

Paul,

What are your thoughts on the new pdga rule penalizing dnf's and round tanking?

It's about time.... they paid the money for the event it's not the courses or tournaments fault that whomever didn't train right.... If someone gets hurt thats a different story.

 

[PMcBeth]

True, but then you have to figure out what to do with the Ace pool money.

find a local charity to donate it to or do a 100ft ace pot throw off

My least favorite are anything single chained thats just not to professional in my opinion.

Favorite would be the innova discatcher.... The ones with the bands I feel like those give you the best target.


Here is my true opinion though,i would be 100% for putting on bulls eye baskets in every tournament. Those seem like the best chance to make putting actually harder.
Those baskets don't fall under my single chain comment its a different style.single chain basket.

Agree

Y'all didn't seem to have any troubles with my Bulleyes at the Fly Ink Open recently. I bet that 100% BE's would make for an interesting event. :thmbup:

Pyramids has a 18 hole P&A course with all Bullseye targets. It's really helpful for your putter game.

That idea is bad ass

Paul, I notice when you drive, especially on shorter tees, you seem to really maintain eye contact with the target through much if not all of the run-up. Do you feel like maintaining eye contact is essential for you in driving accuracy? Do you feel like you have your eye on the target (or trajectory) when you release the disc?

Thanks, and I apologize if this has been asked already.

I do it on anything that isn't full power.... I believe its just something from baseball it may be a positive or negative but it seems to work for me

I do this too.. because I'm a pitcher Haha It helps a lot. I also compare it to skateboarding.. whenever you do a trick, you gotta spot your landing.. visualize where you're going to land.. helps with the mental part of the game in my opinion.

 

[dukdukgolf]

That next to vibram?

yep, right next to maple hill. My question is, how much do you think about your follow through if at all? Do you do anything specific like drills or routines to improve your follow through.

thanks

Do you plan on playing the Standing Rocks Open in Stevens Point WI this year?

I don't focus on it anymore but when I started I knew it was big if you want to suceed. I never did drill but when some one doesn't follow through it stupid their momentum which causes a lack of distance and control. I would say it's something to work on just make up your own kind of drill I guess. Maybe trying your throw infront of a mirror might help.

Haven't seen it on the schedule yet.

 

[SERE Nate]

Paul,

Thanks again for doing this!

Any tips for playing in the snow/cold weather?

Seeing that you are a fan of roller coasters, you should try and get out to Farragut in Idaho. 3 great courses and Silverwood theme park right next door!

 

[chickenonabun]

Haven't seen it on the schedule yet.

You should really make it out if you can, its a sick tourney and last year Will S. set the course record I think (Or maybe it was Dave Feldberg)

 

[DannyThunders]

What's your favorite hole at huntington central park ?

Drift alert...

Greenwell, in some vid or something, talks about finishing with ur non-throwing elbow (left for a RHBH) pointing at your target. I think the way he put it was, if you do that, you can't help but get your shoulders and hips through unless you're a freak of nature...for what it's worth.

Sorry for "throwing into" the reigning WC thread!

 

[DannyDanger]
