The Official 'Ask Paul McBeth' Thread

[WOTI]

How long into disc golfing was it before you stopped and thought, "Wow! I really have something special here." Also, what was the moment, when you knew disc golf was the sport for you?

 

[techn9cian4life]

just because you are unable to afford them does not mean the prices are ridiculous.

it's not like they are $300 each.

Who says I couldn't afford it? Lol. Im just not one to spend that much money on a disc just cause it's first run/proto stamped.. when the production runs will be released soon at regular champion plastic prices. So to me, yes it is ridiculous to spend $50 on a Roc3. Just my opinion though, no need to get defensive there pal.

I wasnt getting defensive. I was just giving you an alternative way to look at the situation. and if im correct, and I don't want to embarrass or attack you, but I believe you just posted a couple of days ago that you cant wait to get on salary so you can afford to buy stuff andi won't say any more than that.

There was a tounament right before Am worlds in 2007 where I won by 9 I believe amd that was when I knew it was time to go all out and make the jump to open..... I always have know sports would be in my future and I really weighed my options between baseball and disc golf. It was either be just another baseball player or make a movement in disc golf and have the chance to be remembered for pushing this sort to mainstream.

I noticed the domey ones are more over stable. I have 1 of each in my bag for a variety of shots

Any words of advice for a lefty other than lots of anny/forehand practice? Who's the best lefty you've played with?
