[Innova] VRoc - "Hat Guy Science" The worst promo in the history of DG

[SD86]

Pretty sure that wasn't meant to be a 100% serious disc review. Something quirky and different, compared to every other disc out there that gets reviewed as "holds any line you put it on".

Innova does like to try new things, but this one was an EPIC FAIL. I think they thought it was humorous while pushing the values of the VRoc.

But think about it: who is going to play disc golf at -110 Fahrenheit? So why do I give a rip about the grip at that temperature? It looked like a pathetic attempt to validate GStar plastic, which Dunipace loves perhaps a bit too much as its popularity with disc throwers wanes (IMHO).

I'll just stop here. No sense giving that garbage more energy by continuing to talk about it.

i like that you are able to hold a gstar vroc while it's wet, dirty and even cold. seems pretty unique to the plastic and maybe even that specific mold and plastic combination. Gonna go buy a couple stacks. One to throw and one to sell on the collector market.

 

[Mulligan]

He's gonna cringe when he looks back at this in ten years.

 

[Hampstead]

G*'s window of relevance is closing fast.

 

[Streets]

I thought it was Nate Sexton, giving his affinity for being goofy. (Is it Nate Sexton???)

I really hope you're kidding....

:wall:

I really hope you're kidding....

I have no idea who this Hat Guy is, or is supposed to be. He looks just like Nate, we know Nate likes to joke around, and is sponsored by Innova.

I thought it was entertaining for being a dumb video.

If they had done this with the Wizard everyone would be like "OMGz0rz this is soooo awesomesauce!!!"

Pretty much how I felt...regardless of the missed delivery of the video, the goal for the message seemed to be all about the plastic and not the disc and I have no idea why.

Is your sense of humour really that lacking?

The Hat Guy, a.k.a. Antti Vuento, is basically the Finnish version of the Disc Golf Guy. That video is just peeling the apple of what he's done, and Flip's comment on his hat is ridiculously ignorant.

This may sound offensive, and I apologize beforehand. Are those his normal mannerisms, and way of speaking?

Like I used to tell my kids, "Use your words." You can post here in a manner that won't get you in trouble.

Don't patronize me.

No, he speaks and acts like "normal" people whenever he's more serious about something. He hasn't talked much English in anything that's been recorded, and he commented on the Insider Show filmings that he tends to break the R when he does something unrehearsed, such as live interviews.

 

[Streets]

I think this is the first time a wider audience has seen the Hat Guy. I've seen some of his videos with Avery where they review discs and while not incredibly deep, they are a solid effort. This was an attempt at humor that fell incredibly flat IMO but don't judge Hat Guy from this single video.

No he's doing an evil scientist henchman type act here.

Thanks for the info. To those of us who had no clue who is he is, it honestly seems like an American guy doing a funny skit, with a bad fake accent. (The Finnish accent is not very familiar to us Americans, in general) Good to know who he really is. (Not Nate Sexton. )

Either way, this is true:

This was an attempt at humor that fell incredibly flat

 

[Flip Hyzerman]

Cue the desperate internet-defender from Finland - and GO.

 

[Aim For The Chains]

Its just not funny at all nor informative. The guy pretending to grip the disc in those conditions doesnt throw the damn thing and isnt even using a disc golf grip. All the footage of throws were no where near close to that basket if that was thr point.
