Podcast Transcript

welcome back to Bonanza disc golf today we have a pretty interesting video if you're on Instagram and you follow a lot of the pros you might recognize the disc that I have in my hand because recently Alden Harris did a giveaway of his 350g pa3s and he picked me is one of the winners but to be honest with you I already have a lot of discs so I'm going to put this on the line I'm at hitsman optimist park in Pensacola Florida even though I really like this disc and the stamp I don't know if I like the disc because I've never thrown it before I've never thrown a pa3 apparently the numbers are 3401 but I'm gonna play six holes here and if I can't beat par with just this disc I'm gonna have to give it away to somebody who recognizes me from my channel super cool little elephant stamp also got a van in there just like my discs the first run for Danza disc golf discs if you want to snag one of those if they're not sold out yet I'll leave this ad in there if they are sold out then you're never going to see this I'll tell you what the feel of this disc is pretty solid it is beaded and I don't normally like beaded Putters so we'll see how I putt and throw with it I think these are the same discs that Gannon Burr made his sweet Ace on skins and we're starting off with a really dumb hole to start off with which is a 310 foot Par 3 straight up the gut there so it's going to be a pretty big turnover which if you know Prodigy you know Alden Harris Isaac Robinson that's the shop they like I think I can get a Potter 310 feet I just don't know it's the first throw out of the box will be that good we'll also see if I like PA threes 173 grams I'm not stalling because I don't want to throw the Cisco into a tree okay way too nose though I thought it would turn a lot more stay in bounds all right stayed in bounds and it went pretty far I just thought it would turn a little bit more than that honestly and even though it was nose up I would say that that first flight was pretty true to a three four zero one a lot of Glide no turn and a tiny tiny bit of fade we'll have a big putt to try to take the birdie otherwise I didn't think this was the hole that I begin my birthday train started on anyways also Alden if you're watching this video if you're definitely collab have me in the Vlogs I don't know also if you haven't seen all those Vlogs you need to go watch them they're very hysterical so maybe when I'm on tour next year or the year after we can do something fun a little low ceiling action to get us started this isn't like comfy stepper range but if this goes in the basket I'll be very happy that goes without saying honestly wow that's a terrible putt great layup though I filmed two other videos today and I've been throwing all my putts into the ground for some reason might be the lack of food in my body at all today well I had a bagel or two that's definitely enough alrighty that's about to get started didn't throw it into the ground so we're happy it's all right that wasn't the birdie hole I'm just glad those trees have been touched by the elephant yet all right hole two here is a par 3 270 again straight it's a little finish so you can keep this one a little bit lower but with all Putters you got to keep them in the air a little bit so they can actually get the distance luckily this ceiling if I just get below that low ceiling we should be pretty happy this kind of goes far I thought it was gonna be an ace for a second and the basket was there and it was already over the basket what the heck all right wow I left myself a pot I mean right over the basket just inside the circle too I will say what's kind of funny is one of the other discs that I reviewed during this time that I've been here is The Prodigy F5 and I think the flight numbers on that are so wrong and I think the flight numbers on this are so right which is very very funny from the same company all right don't throw it into the ground oh my gosh I threw it why just not my timing is so off right now for no reason look I got a second minute so I can go practice that putt okay parpar apparently I have to put it within five feet if I want to take a birdie so as long as I don't miss my line and I park one basket we should be happy I just don't wanna I don't want to not have this disc seeing as though I was giving it by a pro desk golfer you know all right it's not on the ground it's better on the whole three also I know it's a little bit late to call it this but we're also going to call this video a bag at her Bennett which means that I'm going to let you know if you should bag this or throw it in the trash just in general PA threes because I've never thrown them before and I was gonna do a bag of bin on them and then I remembered that I can just use this video as that as always with those you don't beat par I have to give it away that's how they all work but this one is just a little bit extra steaks I think I want to see how the forehand flies with this disc with all Putters it's going to flip up some I'm honestly kind of thinking about testing those trees though I don't we got do you have a tailwind and we are going downhill okay okay just be smooth definitely could just be a backhand shot but we're gonna try the forehand here oh yeah I still that this goes kind of far a Potter it's kind of like my opto Piers that I've thrown except slightly more finish it's like the in between place of my opto piers and like the proton envy that I was throwing it's kind of similar to an electron soft envy that I threw for my bag at a minute for those but I kind of like it more honestly that envies just I don't know why but I do maybe because I was giving it but at the same time let's make a pot I know I'm probably about 30 feet again because the disc is going farther than it needs to be why something I don't know why that helps me sometimes when I'm putting bad one two three foreign staggered stance instead of straddle I don't know why but sometimes that really helps my me to not throw it into the ground well I didn't throw it into the ground so that's positive two and a half birdie chances zero putts made with a putter that's not good I'm sure I'm making this easy on myself huh all right hole nine is gonna be whole four so we have three holes and we need at least one birdie because even par obviously isn't beating par but just in case you're wondering if I shoot even it's not giving away yikes all right it's only fair that we continue going for birdies but it's 300 foot anhyzer shot with this tree that makes you not be able to throw an aheiser shot so this is a little scary just don't want to hit that first tree and we should be good turn wow even throwing so hard that thing does not turn a lot good right what a good tree Direction that's putting I think oh my gosh I'm actually kind of impressed with how well that thing holds the line added three speed discs I mean I threw that pretty hard and it did not even flip I'm glad I didn't hit this tree but I am glad I hit that tree because I think that got us inside the circle and I was gonna be pin High probably but left side thanks buddy I appreciate you wow that just kicked off there and then so down in front of this tree still short but just got to take my time there's a little wind ripping through here which is not super comfy but take your time buddy come on make a putt I'm gonna blame this on the beaded Putter and not my bad putting foreign two holes to get a birdie and I've had a look on basically every hole come on go in the basket buddy you can do it I promise you can do it hey all right straight ahead of us orbig Anheuser but I think the Stray Gap is the gap 270 feet I'm getting a little nervous now I know I can hit this Gap if I sit it down early we should be able to get the birdie I just only have two holes left it way left I mean I still hit the major Gap I just got a circle two pot instead of circle one three four five two three ten eleven well I don't know if we're in or out good thing I have a rangefinder please read at least freaking 34. it says 32 feet and then when I move it past my lie it says 33 feet so it's just inside the circle that is so frustrating come on I can make a putt yes oh it felt like it was in one more hole one more hole and I need a birdie all right if there ever was a shot for the pa3 it looks like it'd be this one through this Gap it will fade I just need to hit the gap take a birdie be happy Focus that was very short I was in the ground early release I can make it I can make a pot foreign yes no how's that Circle just repositioning so you can actually see me and the basket there's literally no harm in missing the spot oh my gosh oh I did not want to lose this disc just beat par last throw of the game honestly this is a really solid disc it might make a rotation into my bag and that slightly stable slot which I now have a need for because I just put this disc in the bag which probably would be easy guess because it's trash Panda's new inner core go watch my review of that video right there pick up somebody has a disc golf stuff if you want to with the link down below at anzadiscalf.com oh that was such a good putt I'm so glad I made that pressure but subscribe to the channel like the video join the patreon if you want and you can choose which sis you want me to review I need to go eat some food I filmed three review videos on two bagels and that's it that's not a good way to live your life and two cups of coffee that's really not it okay see you in the next one bye love you peace Alden Harris I love you plus Club also meant to say bag it this is definitely a baguette that was honestly one of the biggest pressure pots I've ever made including in tournaments when a pro gives you something you don't want to have to give it away
