welcome back to Bonanza disc golf today we're at Lamona disc golf course home of oh me yeah Kevin Kiefer this is my home this is my home course yeah I grew up on this course since I was like I don't know like 10 or 11. awesome and then other touring Pro Thomas Gilbert hey does he fit in frame yeah he does just barely okay all right we might need to switch to angles because this is uh yeah make it seem like I'm a little taller at least but we are going to be playing a 30 budget use disc challenge we went to one of Kevin's sponsors Spin City discs really solid place with really good use prices because a lot of I've traveled the country a lot and most disc golf stores are getting a little outrageous with their used pricing but Spin City is not so we had a 30 budget and that went a long way so we're gonna kick it back to the store and go ahead and see what we're all able to find all right so we made it back to Spin City we're going to give everybody two minutes each to pick 30 worth of used discs Thomas your first what's your what's your plan what do you think you're going for uh plan is kind of find a putter first and then just like grab some good premium be B grade drivers go are they really oh they're that side they're on the other side oh crap okay how much can I get in your way with the camera let's try it wow you're really gonna pick up pa1 I don't know okay that's that's fine we're going over the crown I don't know what this is uh be great okay we're good I pulled out the synapse time yes I know what that was what are your thoughts what are your thoughts on everything that you're looking at right now I'm trying to just find something that I recognize want to give us like a like it's kind of good yeah and then it needs like just a mid-range of some sort but like B grade contract 40 seconds oh oh very good okay yeah you got plenty of time unfortunately um yeah it's kind of crazy how hard I can't like really tell what yeah 15 seconds that's a rock x three I can make that work backhand forehand I think calling it there we go all right seven seconds I hope this is under budget what do you got we got a synapse Firebird a rock X3 and a crown it is beaded that was the main thing I was looking for was just some beaded putter what do you think after you saw that um I think I'm feeling pretty confident go all right Keystone oh my Lord Faith we're good okay that's what I put with as it is I need some kind of high speed to be like a part of his bag actually pretty much part of his bag is honestly dear Lord bro this is too easy all right all right it was eyeing this warship that's another B grade I got one more disc I got all the time in the world yeah you have a minute and a half what the heck don't mention don't see my wife flipping you off I need I need a really long distance driver or something hopefully like a Ballista Pro like a diamond probably yes a river would be perfect ah goodness gracious where's all the trilogy in here Johnny um 11 10 9 8 7. I guess I'll take that all right all right yeah I'm pretty happy with that oh it's true oh my gosh no way that's exactly what I throw as my distance driver too dang that's all right I'm very nervous right now this is bad because I don't even know what I throw right now so I need to figure I know and it starts now okay okay I like feedless I don't think there'll be oh there's a bold red zero heart I like that okay perfect okay I don't see I've never thrown a river Pro but I feel yeah I feel like I like the river but I wanted something slightly more stable okay I'm gonna take the River Pro for now unless I get a bunch of extra time because I don't want to have to look through that too much eclipses screw if I take it oh I'll take the same warship I like to just go out perfect all right a minute left you got plenty of time let's go I appreciate you saying that skeletons I want to find something neutral to slightly overstable so any honestly anything use will probably be good yeah tell me anything crazy okay 25 seconds left oh no at this point I'm probably gonna just whatever my hand is on is what I'm gonna have to pull from my ass I thought 17 16 15 7 6 5 4 what is it three two all right good one all right good good all right that's a good disc this one might be a little flippy but I'm glad oh my gosh now that driver is getting nervy on the end I know there's just so much to pick from well I did not mean to have a color palette I have a freaking color scheme here that's good yeah you're really fancy with yours here we go I'm not nervous at all about playing against you guys not a single bit sorry I didn't mean to steal that so hard well I get oh are you filming right now my hands already clammy butt heads feel great right now all right made it back hole number one we're gonna do the front nine in this video and the back nine is going to be back 10 is going to be next video which is going to be a mulligan challenge we each have some pretty solid molds I think um we're all able to find better things than I think we were expecting to be honestly in terms of a full lineup nice difficult whole one to start downhill like 200 feet so yeah so I'm gonna go with that rock X3 to start oh it's kind of straight maybe skip it ah solid all right I'm happy with that that's great you want to lead it you want to go after that I'll go I'll pull that up that's not even it's nothing but a thing I think it has to be the warship oh it's it's stable a little bit oh it's long it's crushed yeah that's way long actually holy cow oh so I put with the face and I also throw them a little bit and they're great throwing Putters so I'm gonna go with the faith oh yeah a little long but that's all right all right Thomas learned this last time we filmed but you hit the camera you lose yes oh really yeah you just straight up lose oh my God oh sick you always like to start a little outside oops nothing but a thing oh okay ah first part of the day just enough holy crap oh my word that was such a lazy putt all right gonna try the rock X3 see if it putts any better let's go oh so much fun early start I like it yeah sorry okay just smack your wrist all right hold two uphill it's probably plays like I don't know 350 felon um it feels really straight so I'm gonna throw it a little bit of Anheuser because it was a felon hopefully just right through the straight Gap let's see what happens I thought he was just going for it just turn around yeah Kevin's got the most aggressive practice run up on tour oh for sure too all right all right all right I'm gonna go the similar play I'm gonna go with the firebird but I know this thing needs a little bit of Annie feels pretty overstable a little bit not a lot oh my God no four car you must be safe all right if it's not on the road it's safe sure is that the rules or is it over usually we play sidewalk obese people don't throw it towards the road but uh we can play Roto V today hey it's your place man all right I've actually I kind of want to look up am I allowed to look up the numbers on this thing no you just gotta go buy zero two that's fair too I think that's a lie I don't think this is a 75 feel more or less stable well I think it's like a six-speed this will be a less violent kick if I miss the line oh hello absolutely Nails it yeah it's through though got a long look at it oh man going with the warship for the first throw oh that's so bad all righty oh uh it's good bid no no no so I'll play I'm playing sidewalk OB vious that's only fair as you should whoa what the hell is beautiful all right that's not against you are shredding Thomas is so good is that a double bogey that is a double bogey all right I've wrangled the boxes out of their hands and so we got just straight ahead was it 230 feet I would ask what the play that you guys would throw is but not good you are the enemy you're on the box right now that's fair oh that's not straight at it that's a good tree good tree good tree a little grip locky there all right we're all intimidated camera's getting that's good get under the branch oh oh that's all right all right edemas uh I will try and because me and The Rock X3 just have such a good relationship right now that looks great oh yes hopefully close enough to no putt here you go no you're 30 long oh no yeah you skip right past the PIN yeah a good shot oh great pot all the wobble in the world yeah not great the longest of the three looks I've had so far but uh yeah you just gotta just gotta tap it in he's got a tap in it there we go oh who's this who's look at us with our matching frisbees we're so cute all right that's a stroke back look at you Thomas all right cool I'm moving on oh God so thought off go okay okay A little bit of backspin there I don't know if I can trust this guy on a forehand probably or I could just throw the pure right at it and not grip lock it the whole not grip blocking part is not something I've been good at on that first Pier throw though oh I love money stay up that's money yeah that's fine yeah good shot a shot well I want to figure out this Fallon so let me keep with it it's actually like really flippy that's pretty straight yeah it's like really really flippy we just try to make it maybe that's it maybe there's the disc on my hand oh yeah I like the idea I think that was it I think that was it I can't multitask that ain't it that's not it at all oh my gosh that was caught us again oh my God I know you guys are just doing it for the oh yeah we want it to look really competitive now what you want to see quick score update because somehow it's all back even um we now got hole number five uh and I'm gonna throw rock X3 hopefully on a little baby Flex oh it's so beefy yeah it's gone it's like really that's like really far past yeah that's pretty deep oh sure I think I'm gonna go wash it I think you're like probably 25. 45. I kind of want to throw this boy no River Pro sidearm why not well we might see why not but hopefully we don't yeah hopefully not holy cow really be super stable wow dang that's a lot more stable that's all it's gonna be like that's a lot more workable than I guess I just want this felon to work there you go skip oh yeah it's way long but it might be no no it's like 20 feet Maybe maybe oh all right over committed under committed we're gonna be perfect for here now you're out like by a mile it's not even close Thomas look dude literally have you buy a whole disc maybe even two account is down three three two one then putt okay like like three two one putt okay all right yeah three two one I just airballed it bro look at the basket dude I literally did the basket straight over it Thomas is not wanting to lose this straight over I really thought I wanted to lose at first and then I was like uh you just want to make it harder on yourself yeah I'm a guy that plays from behind you're like I know who I'm playing against it's gonna be a little harder ah which is actually funny because usually I hate playing from behind in tournament really yeah hopefully you start hating playing from ahead in these videos true it's a good grenade here Thomas like open over really for like a solid like year that's all I did in this hole just with practice it huh interesting well I'm not gonna do that got hole number six uh 246. I'm gonna throw my crown just because I haven't thrown off the T yet and I feel like this might be a good shot for it whoa it's stable yeah it is stable yeah yeah it is yeah it turned a nice flight trying to like force a little bit to the basket but I can trust the River Pro on that line now that's right or just throw the warship on a little Annie at it it appears a little Flippy whoa ah okay geez I'm releasing everything up it's all right I haven't thrown the trespass yet I'm going I'm going to now oh it's wonderful stable it's great oh no dear Lord what the wow wow wow okay not upset with that yeah that actually might fly really really good on 18.
