Is This the BEST 1 Speed from Innova [or EVER?] // Polecat vs Sonic Disc Golf Battle

Watch polecat vs sonic compete in a thrilling disc golf battle featuring the Innova Polecat and Sonic. Who'll come out on top?

Watch on YouTube

Discover which Innova disc is reigning supreme: the Sonic or the Polecat. In this episode of Bonanza disc golf, host [Name] puts these two discs to the test on a 9-hole track at Airport Lakes Disc Golf Course in Orlando. With their vastly different profiles, flippy flight patterns, and unique feel, it's anyone's game. As [Name] prepares to move to Denver and films content from afar, they're eager to share this battle of the discs with listeners. With the help of a "glitch" versus Envy throwdown, where one disc takes on both the short and long holes, [Name] aims to conquer four down with each disc. They'll be playing without their trusty forehand for added challenge, all while navigating windy conditions. The Polecat's profile may resemble a cheap frisbee, but its sturdy 175-gram weight belies its performance potential. Will the Sonic's clutch throws or the Polecat's quirky design take the crown? Tune in to find out.

Podcast Transcript

welcome back to Bonanza disc golf and today we got a video that no one requested but I'm very interested in making which is the Sonic from Innova versus the pole cat from Innova these are both one speed discs apparently the Sonic is way flippier the pole cat it says is one three zero zero I'll put the numbers for this on the screen but from what I remember it's pretty flippy they have very different profile I am moving to Denver in like three or four days so I'm filming some videos so you guys can have some content while I'm on the road up there and apartment hunting so this means that's probably my last video from airport Lakes disc golf course here in Orlando so we're gonna play the nine hole track with just these two discs I did a glitch versus Envy where I played one to the short and one to the long and I said if I couldn't beat four down I had to give one away we're gonna do the same thing so I have to get four down with both of these which I don't like because these feel much less like golf discs and much more just like literal Lids that you put on top of something also right now I'm really working on playing without a forehand so it's going to be all backhand and the wind is starting to come out but real quick the Polecat is basically just like if you took a Aid off of like the cheapest piece of plastic ever it's literally just flat with a little bit of Dome and then down that's what the profile is this one is more like if you get those cheap frisbees from like I had home days growing up I grew up in a suburb of Cleveland Ohio and we had like home days where you'd go and then like the local tax guy would put his information on like a cheap little frisbee that's what this feels like except this feels a little sturdier 175 grams and 175 grams so no difference there I'm just very interested as to which is going to be good I'm kind of excited about it that Sonic was pretty clutch I found it used and then that pool cat you can see has my shattered band stamp on it hey go pick up some shattered van discs I'll ship them when I get to Colorado and I also plan on having some extra molds that I run one more shattered van run I do also feel like putting with these is going to be a pain in the butt but there's actually really there's a lot of clouds so it's nice the fusion for the camera right now it says 250. so maybe around 225 to 250. pretty excited very interested by these everyone kind of hyped up the Polecat I mean Drew Gibson throws it Robbie C throws it same category of play right there oh I don't know if you can get a lot more Park than that that thing is just a laser beam though all right Sonic a little more highs or a little more left oh my gosh let's go those are both some really good shots Sonic I think because it's so slow and not glidy not super glidy it doesn't like flip and turn fast so even though it will be flippier it's not gonna like turn and like pan on that turn I'm intrigued I'm excited about these discs hopefully we start out with some birds all right full cat putting with these lid style this is so weird because they just they fill your hands so differently especially this one this feels this is such a weird disc I feel like it's a dog toy the Sonic oh my gosh maybe I should try the bite from latitude 64. one speeds are kind of fun I don't think anyone will make my bag like for real but they're definitely fun to mess around with pool tube straight ahead of us same box order looks great for either of these guys well Polecat Ace why not oh no it's not flippy enough with the when I throw that nose up it's not gonna flip like that I think Sonic on that line would be pretty good this has to be an old run because it's like team champion Garrick earthy Sonic super intriguing have a good shot for once yes go in go in oh that was sick honestly the flight to that Sonic reminds me of like a Bravo or I had like a victor one or Victor two armadillo flight seemed very similar all right this is gonna be for Robbie C right here Circle two pole cab bid maybe you had to circle one it's a thorn thing right in the way for that putt oh this feels so weird I hate it can't hate it if it goes in though let's go all right we're about to be two for two for two for two all right our basket 200 feet straight through the trees there gonna have to be hyzer that'll glide on it so Sonic a little more Hazard than you think polka still got the box not giving it up kind of a funky disk also if you're wondering why I have some of these they're mostly just like for giveaways and fun stuff and maybe mystery boxes at the end of the year you know and oh my discs don't sell out and I got a liquidate inventory like every other company you know come on bulkhead nice oh it kind of flips up the straightness that tree backdoor look okay we got a back door 30 foot look I think yeah these one speeds do not move left to right I noticed that from the Glitch too so gotta kind of try to cut that corner inside a little bit if you want or get it to the ground and let it skip oh it's slippy same back door route those are going to be on top of each other all right not quite on top of each other not bad honestly but I think I got this one with the glitch in my last video because I did a skip shot so once it hits the ground it'll kind of move a little bit more to the right well this one feels kind of even weirder but let's go all right three for three for three for three onto four it's kind of a turnover to the basket it's right there and then the t-pad is over here I think it's like 210 or something not super far I think it's perfect for the Sonic because that low late turn Polecat gonna have to put a little Annie on it but both of them should be able to get it you know go perfect probably not one of them is oh one of them's like almost 300 feet down the tight Corridor so that one probably not but everything else all right you might actually be able to see it straight through there okay still got the box oh that's perfect but I thought I hit that tree go in the basket oh that's like exactly what I wanted to do it just scared me a little bit on that first street Sonic a little flatter at it should be good foreign oh that should be back door again a little miss got no line got a straddle on to five another straight one these one speeds are making this course look easy all right 213 feet that ahead straight shot leave it a little bit right shouldn't really glide back towards it but at least hit the Gap a little better polecat still maintaining that box go in the basket go away over the basket oh my gosh that was I thought that was perfect a little more juice there I thought a little hyzery ER with the Sonic and lower flip up at it now get it oh come on that thing is like within a foot a couple times alrighty come on basket be good to me point and shoot let's go no you choking Anthony you're joking you're gonna miss that but after you make the other one come on come on come on oh that was so lazy that was I ate my head I'm like oh I got a mother missed one of these I did that John had wheat all right all right this little scares me a little bit 275 a little wind actually coming through in the head straight ahead of us basically just put it in the middle of the Fairway not really going to try to get that far because you got to put it so high to get all the way down there and there's such a small t-pad but nice easy full cat oh it's fine that'll be lucky that's kind of unlucky at the end but really missed my line there I focused every other time on really hitting my hit and then getting my head through this one I wanted to look at my shot I tend to do that whenever there's a gap tends not to be good that's better that one I didn't oh got a lot of late flip there it's actually fine that'll keep us in the Fairway I'm happy with that all right we need a little Annie throw in to keep the dream of going perfect alive stable oh that tree almost helped us in but that's going to be a hard parsafe because I tried to run it alrighty Mr glitchy boy or it's not glitch are you calling these glitches it's just the Sonic foreign that's the song you have to sing before you putt I think that's the only rule otherwise you can't save par but hey as it is four down five down pretty happy with this so straight honestly I kind of like the pole cat I like the glitch so the glitch is a little deeper I think I like the polka though because it's like max weight I feel a little more confident throwing max weight discs I guess glitches max weight for what the glitch is but not of what it can be so I would love to see 175 gram glitch that'd be pretty dope all right here we are this one is 175 feet just that ahead of us looks like perfect shot for both these discs not that close though I just juice that that's like almost parked the second basket I think Sonic baby that's parked if I can't get it high enough mine oh it's kind of actually kind of far these are kind of fun it's honestly just fun not having a bag just like taking a couple of this out I think someone just made a good putt got it let's go man I'm putting pretty good I've moved to kind of a more inline pot I think and I want to try that for the season because I just get like that was like 50 feet and I just get more power that way good birdies oh let's go six and five down onto a really kind of short Par Four 380 feet should be able to get that one too get the last one shoot of course wrecked no but should we go around at least all right basket is Straight Ahead there 390. we're gonna make things more interesting by going down the smaller gap which is the skinny one I pointed you guys straight down there's a really big gap right here great for turnover shots but let's just go down the smaller one nice and simple nothing crazy honestly yes use your head correctly that's so good oh my gosh just perfect a little more hyzer than I think just because of the way that this guy has a little late turn yes let's go oh they're good let's go let's go normally when you Channel Garrett gerthy it's first Power this time it's for a Sonic throwing abilities so they turn a little oh that's not bad that's not bad little first day ever thrown the pole cat eagle maybe probably not but maybe to keep the perfect round alive keep it down no no no no no now it might not even be a birdie oh yeah yeah yeah yeah that was fun let's go come on yeah baby it's kind of cheap birdies but with one speed I'll take a birdie on it almost 400 foot hole on to the next all right this one says 240 I think it's probably a little shorter than that up and to the right to the red position if I can Ace it with the pole cat we get a perfect round if I can answer with this we get to eighth down a birdie with this facility down which is not bad at all one last try oh no it's too it's too nose up I like the line still should be a birdie it's like 25 foot putt but similar line with the Sonic is good or lower it just doesn't drift that much so I really got to Annie it foreign just got smacked into some trees yikes all right last chance over there the Sonic just hit this tree and just smacked it over there instead of just sneaking right up under the basket let's make a little putt though for sure let's go come on eight down and seven down with a couple one speeds not a hard course but I'm pretty happy with that to be honest with you I do say I might be more team pole cap than even team glitch I might need to get a Halo Polecat I don't think I'll throw it like I would not take it out I don't think that's I like a P1 in this slot but I think this teaches you a lot of finesse like just throw it and let the disc do the work and I think sometimes I try to muscle on my other discs so I'm going to take what I learned from this apply it to other things but both of them are really cool sorry that I kind of crushed the challenge so no giveaways this time uh subscribe like the video a lot more stuff coming before I move and then once I move I my content has not been as good as I think it can be and I'm really excited to make some really crazy content so please subscribe for that watch the other videos that are right here do it I don't know I'm great outros okay love you guys bye oh this bull sucked sorry peace
