JAMES PROCTOR IS THE REAL DEAL!!! // Waco Practice Round B9 feat. Eric Oakley & Chandler Fry

Welcome to The Back N of the Beast this is pry presents wo disc Pro Tour plus event we're doing a mic exchange back there we had Eric for front 9 as you saw yesterday and if you didn't go check it out we're not scoring so you can go watch it after this you all good you help with anything a you got it he's a pro first question James what do you think of the nickname Pro not a huge fan not my preference I am a whole expert but jeez that was genius oh my my goodness you can't fade at all huh no no is that a votm that's votm dang VMS are good Tour series still uh it was last year this year it's going to be the CR ooh what does that one feel like you have one in your back is it similar to like a mint poob cat no it's similar to like a good rock three yeah definitely little more stable when does it come out May sweet they're good that one seasoned in now it's so all right we're going to try rally play is that kind of where you want to be yeah you could even go mid off of this Eric said I couldn't biry in the last video so James told me I could never said that yeah you I mean I heard it I don't know if you said it or not how are you in my head oh flip Moore baby what are you doing I think they were throwing the island pole dress more see it see it that's nice oh BL it's nicer honestly was the first shot better but did that last one get a better kick is that or you just it's really easy to fade left and be pinched if you're like right half you have a line no matter what basically so you kind of want to throw an anheiser into the ground with like a fairway I'm just throwing something that doesn't fade like I'm drifting a little with no fade so James that these courses that you come back to over and over again do you tend to have a game plan that you just are like okay let's see if this is still the game plan or do you alter anything or you just got to come out and getting reps I don't even remember what my game plan was last year to be honest like I remember certain things about holes but I don't necessarily remember what disc I was throwing or how I was throwing it and obviously discs are going to fly different a year later so you know I kind of know the hole and where to be where not to be and I can remember things I did last year like oh you know this one gave me trouble but I'm just getting reps just seeing the hole seeing how my discs are flying seeing what feels comfortable what feels repeatable what what feels too aggressive what feels you know like I can execute every round where I want to land where I want my second shots to be a lot of this is placement yeah it's not necessarily how far you can get down the Fairway it's like where's a good second shot Landing so just trying to take mental notes you too you too you text Chris something now is the r i have multiple ones to send him throw a good earlier we got to see is this camera friendly no wow he just has a lot there's a lot of I love you in there there is yeah I've been setting him a bunch that's mine oh that's panzas yeah I'm looking for orange nice toss I get was that your C no that was an ax3 oh sweet do you prefer to throw mids over Putters cuz I've noticed you throw a lot of mids on like hles that I feel like you could reach with Putters yes I prefer to throw mids I prefer to throw rock will actually fluctuate more than anyone's bag on for it's true I throw disc in and out every week really yeah of like the same class of disc or a huge mix or whatever he'll try it out be like yeah I like it just like tournament ready throws it amazing that's crazy well try to figure out angles let me try to Envy here actually I have like three or four discs that stay in all year and the rest are like that's better sometimes I throw them good and they stay and I throw them bad and they leave and I put new ones in about to be right here not bad and again it slops off to the left and slightly behind so Landing a little short this is where I try to land little is actually not too bad no fade this is money Zone you probably also like hit this Hillside and it'll kick you back Center exactly right there pretty routine there it is there you go without the fade yeah oh bless this round is so fun this is a different vibe to like I've been to some of events before and I've played with a lot of these people before it's just kind of a different vibe and experience and it's like both more professional and more fun at the same time it's kind of odd the A2 kind of Juiced I got to figure out how stuff is going to like fade and sit but I mean getting up here I think it's going to be trying to get myself birdie putts and make a sh don't three that where are we at I thought I almost threw it in oh no Chandler's mythical mornings I think it'd be super helpful to realize that these rounds are like not important for confidence especially cuz coming in to this tournament this weekend I feel really good about my game overall and today if I was like oh my gosh I suck right now I can't do anything I feel that and this maybe is consequence of knowing how I've thrown well and having done that for a while and being confident I'm realizing and know that it's not today and that's okay it'll come back four I was four over through three rounds h whole one year going going 553 Jesus so i' played better since I love it I'll start Bing every hole if that's what they right if that's what I get out of it how are you thinking about playing this one that's a good question honestly uh I know that if I turn over right of the big tree it's fine Honestly though I'm taking some a flippy mid I'm aiming at the middle tree hoping I miss it left or right and just see what happens then I just act like I was throwing for the left Gap as long as I hit the gas it's my inter monologue today pull both the same spot yeah look at drift way up all right that a Pathfinder thought flip more did not throw it too slow there it is text him text him that was a sick shot anti Skip it's honestly fine though nothing wrong with that that's fine that's great that's exactly what you want oh stop it 50 your game's looking good thank you yeah it's it's what are you we got to play that war shot that doubles in Austin oh my o we had an idea that we're going to bring up to you thanks oh it sounds like is this like an intervention we had an idea we're going to bring up to you all four of us together against you one little man a cash round at Roy G so I was thinking maybe we just can film that instead and say that we're shot for a different time and that would be it's like vinl Chandler and Nicholas yeah that'd be sweet so that'd be super fun that'd be a lot of fun and it's Roy G so yeah I haven't played Roy G before so fun incred one of the best courses in the country cuz it doesn't matter he's going no matter what unfappable un real that's something we're going have to talk about in this video is this putting guy one of the more consistent baskets we have on T that helps me miss for usually develop your putt is it a lot of figuring out what works for you and then repping it out or did you have any like kind of Diagnostics that you had to do to figure out aim points and releases and I just tried to simplify it use my legs minimal motion add a little spin just to kind of keep it on a direct line flippy Putters so they don't fade so I'm kind of just aiming at the pole trying to get the putter to move you know as least as possible when you say flippy Putters how flippy are you talking like they've been beat up for two years like Eric used them for a year and then I used them all of last year very very I mean I could put a 40f footer and it'll fade an inch yeah are you have a specific aim point that you have is is that distance depending that varies like day to day honestly depending on how it's coming out it might go up or down a link but I just like a slight heer release and so you know it doesn't matter inside the circle really but once you get 35 40 ft if I'm putting slight Hiser with a new putter it's fading left and hitting left chain all day but if I have the super beat Putters they just hold a much straighter line yeah and I can keep them on the pole how do you know how to adjust that day today cuz you said it goes up or down is that in the practice basket or like after your first put to the round or if I feel good practice basket I go to whole one you know it feels good good and I miss high maybe I won't change it but if I miss high again or something feels wrong then I'll drop it down middle round I'm always kind of adjusting yeah is missing High meaning you miss your aim Point high or you miss the putt cuz maybe you still make it and it's just higher than your aim point or both if I if a putt feels weird and goes in I'm still you know not satisfied with it and you know footing will change that like I'm always kind of tweaking little things but for the most part it's just you know it's like that what's the definition of insanity doing different stuff but expecting the same result so different result or doing the same stuff yeah if I'm missing somewhere I'm not going to not make an adjustment and then expect to make the next one is that Roman you're throwing is too much disc for you Bob is that is that good is that where you want to be way too much disc for you guy I had this dialed last year with a Firebird I don't think it's too much disc you think let's find out try again is this just kind of keeping it on Hiser the whole way throw SM pretty like pretty tight down there smooth just got to trust it that's good is that fiber as well scepter scepter isn't that too inside or no I think it's great honestly being inside gives you more angle true when you if you put if you stay on the left side it's like straight oh baby do people play backand on this one too or is it all for very rarely though but it's it's a it's a back hand that you're you're not you can't be too aggressive with it is the problem that's golden okay get some good Glide out that's really good if I'm going forehand yeah it's probably a forehand know this shs why though that was a sick shot I'll show you the way is that the way actually really good that's actually let par would you rather be rer or Le or you want go right you need to get up up top right would you rather Miss right though instead left I would don't miss anywhere no this shot don't miss you'd rather pitch up to the big tree honestly from this lie back here pitch up to the big tree big tree is golden big tree is like get your four that's shine is that a little too right it is but you're fine definitely going to get some more practice in this shot try to get a four that snuck okay but get right get right you got sneaky James was that you for birdie yeah that's sick Chan you coming to torch these tacos heck yeah dude yikes Chandler does not want his myth dude I'm tired he hates that disc the myth that he left in the basket getting out of the woods which I know the woods demoralizing I think I still don't have a true birdie today but again like that's not the point when you're coming to learn a course it's all good this me feels smaller than the one that I had I think we're heading out we got this fun part four so this is going to be the ones that I expect to have some fun and play decent on get up and down for some birdies but to be honest my elbow is very tired right now and like I've been feeling on these last couple shots that's why it probably didn't show it but I was like working through a shot with Proctor and it just like got wider and wider and wider glad to have taken a four kind of snuck one out there um but that feels really good on that hole oh we got water look yo I'm so thirsty like not been playing egregiously bad but in these holes hopefully some of these I can score a bit on but I have to like really realize that one this isn't a scoring round so it doesn't matter who I don't have to be playing really well at these like open holes today like of course I need to play well and I like want to play well and shooting the best of my ability and I'm so far from that right now that just getting looks at these holes is fine and fun good news is my pot hasn't broken down almost at all when I focus has anybody topped the uh the water situation at The Preserve where they had all those like uh sports drinks for you no those are clutch the body armor yeah those are sweet and they're cold those are those are always clut do you think you want this at all what is it you think you want this oh pretty cool Potter I mean you're not going for Eagle Fairway hit gra the stats baby bir's the play it always feels weird coming out to this hole and then throwing hard after being in the woods been like Tey lines smoothing out shots now you're like uh-oh boys kind of like that trying to rip a a driver just to give yourself a look at the two or just to kind of just get out there and I'm trying to get a look at a two especially with this wind I go I mean going side over the brickton sign is actually really simple to play for a three can you see the basket is that the basket that we're looking at it's just the one Straight Ahead okay that one here we go hell yeah W that was great just was it I learned about you in the tour from Eric when I went and play with in Pensacola like a year and champ change ago and then kind of last cuz I know you played some events but you're also teaching at the time then last year you kind of were like hey let's go on full tour fulltime mhm was that kind of like a tester year and now are you going to be around for a while on the tour what's your plan with that I told myself Give It 2 years and then re-evaluate so last year however that went and then this year but you know kids are going to be in the picture in a couple years hopefully so that might put a a halt to my touring but for the forceable future yeah I'm going to ride it out as long as I can when you kind of made that decision tour financials are something that a lot of people think and talk about but was that something that you're like okay we're just going to have enough money to make sure we can do it for a while or were you kind of relying on tournament earnings or how did you go back to oh no I was relying on tournament earnings for sure I mean you know I'm paying rent in California so it's not cheap so I was yeah rela on everything I could get yeah definitely is that another ax3 yeah nice oh yeah that's good wow that's crazy I didn't think I could like get a like a bonified look at this but I didn't really yeah no it's it's I mean especially and we'll get big Tailwinds on this hole like it's super reachable to smack ER this kind of cool I me hit this tree drct smooth had a look at it wait till he plays that Golf Course he's going to go home Eric oh it's so deep dang wow look bear unless you throw it bad have you ever heard of a scepter bro they just don't hook up right away uh-oh that one is stable I like the beat up one there it is Cash I'm trying to get left of that tree you know yeah that's so good great shot yeah I think that's why I need to be trying to do with the omen yeah the omen for sure get left every single time is that too far up oh juicy too far who's that oh jeez they must have skipped Justin and Ezra James what made you guys run these hats that you have on right now they're sweet they're like such a deeper pink than the one that I have uh Alex 2os was running some custom player apparel and at the time I think we only had the black hats and I just wanted to add a little color so we went with the pink ones are they like a dry fit on top like a tech little bit I mean they're Nike they're they're a dad hat but there's a little oh yeah they feel better for they definitely feel like there's more like polyester or something in there yeah probably some sort of blend but fun just a little number of them put them on the VIP website contest you said depending on how this shot goes oh yeah distance contest for sure come on you turfed it all right you throw first though cuz that way just in just in case I got a chance going for twos on this one too yeah but this one's huge huge like roller now I don't want to do this too stable all right I took my flippy ones out they're in the van got a pharaoh then in this wind I just don't want to turn it over too much I'm so worried I'm going to throw this straight into the road cuz I don't know how stuff is fli with this Tailwind I doubt it so I will tell you right side is the OB is closer yeah cuz there's that there's this uh pathway comes in and they play the right of the path is OB gotcha I didn't mind that flight I think I just aimed a little wrong and you guys lied to me good if it wasn't no up yeah it's still easy birdie I also don't have an emperor in the bag but I like to this cook Bud she W little 100f footer to get to the basket from there hi James have you played the other course oh you're going to love those teads so many step UPS from what I've heard it's like jumping up a curb just to get to the pad on like every hole right good to see good to see you good angle e are you twing it this will stay in the video If you to it I'll to it come on go for it do it that's smoked easy three make bigger pots than that good tree good tree oh yeah yeah you have the jump pot on too to make that happen thoughe you got papana in the bag you're good oh all right EZ's 2 drop oh yeah I'm trying to pad those Circle one stats right there oh that's key always land right outside the bullseye yeah you got to play the 12 ft Pro tips and almost miss it that's the other key that's what I don't tell you about the fun one wow we skipped over hole 15 I believe which was the one that kind of had that weird little box in the middle that was like 550 ft par three playing into a tough wind a lot of threes not a lot of twos and not as many fours so they changed that hole with 16 which we're heading to now which I've heard interesting and mix things about heard it's like tight and tough and like there's a big spike Heiser but you're throwing it right over the river so have you played it or seen it nope how much do sell the feet pcks how close is the OB Lin to the water uh caught it um little short or how close is the basket to the water I guess honestly it kind of opens up over there it's like maybe 30 ft 35 ft Circle up there yeah like I'm going to throw and I'm going to try and get left like slam high it's like more of a walking pathway than it is a fairway I think you're too safe that felt like it fell out of my hand anyway so oh that's kind of cook oh good stable yeah stable oh he liked it liked it I liked it that's so good Anthony I live in Colorado you could only throw hisers That's the Law oh he likes it there you go I do you think it's a better addition than 15 or would you rather play that one I think 15 played like as if you take spectator safety out 15 played like a better hole MH I understand why they changed it yeah because of this guy but I don't think this is a good hole I did smoke somebody right in the chest I would not compare this as a hole to 15 as a hole I think way more interesting hole James you skipped up and hit the other side of the cage hit under it and bounc up I like that yeah that was definitely farther than I thought it was too I have some more excuses in a bucket if you want to pull some out James where's your bucket shut your butt in the car dang oh stay up oh what the in between them oh gosh I need to go to bed great drive everyone everyone chill everyone be kill got it oh my goodness the guy might he might like a little bit that's fine he can knit me all you want Eric's going to show us whole 17 Par Four dog leg right water all along the left trees on the right Eric's going to shank his sidearm and it's going to get really lucky textbook not quite lucky shank the sidearm put than the side that you good that's great can't really do a lot better than that e that ain't bad oh go oh you're dead good to see it it's like oh this Hiser is almost opening up really that's good way more clear ah way more inside keep it way more inside I do one is that the distance you want to be that's parked okay that's much better that looked a lot better it's way more like inside right than you think it is put a couple in the water I'm going have to get get that cap wrap back unfortunately hopefully we can find it all these holes I honestly haven't been to a hole yet I don't think I can birie so that's good lots of work on though obviously oh this is short and bad byebye C layup how did it drop you didn't commit to it it's a head I spun it and it Dr nope out my didn't commit oh my that's better there we go jeez all right why you drop excited to get some putts in get a lot of rest in and come and attack these courses tomorrow so exciting so exciting we're getting there not good yet but getting there safe there's a Smash in this head one mhm I like I like going over that way yeah no matter what have the go that's so short oh it just hook once it starts hooking up it just dies yeah too stable you get that one flat a little wider asck this kind of stable guy we just want to get to the right side it's like 400 across this basket from here 47 five really hey who flippy OB right yeah that was F I supposed to be nice that's it iess call it oh that's really good it's probably as like close as I'll try to get in this wind be a little more dangerous try to get closer did you throw in the water so you don't have to do this walk with us yeah it's not my first rodeo anything you want to shout out before I go and miss this 45 footer thanks for watching thanks for being out here ban a disc golf wo 2024 it's going to be a good year see all his links will be down there yeah I think if uh if I L my disc a little better or it was like almost any other wind I feel confident about going for it I think whoa stay in the air more man do it no peace
