Podcast Transcript

today we're going to be playing a nine-hole round with just the new Simon line pixel snag it on infinit disc.com if you'd like infinite themselves doesn't actually do any pre-sales because they want you to be able to choose your specific discs so if you're a collector by H your release is on internet you know what I'm me but the pixel and the eagle Envy are out today and so we're not just going to be playing by ourselves but we actually came to the only course close to me that has some snow on it cuz it's the only place that this guy could play when I got here to Denver people were calling him Eagles Protege cuz he trains with him a lot and he's a big Nomad thrower so we'll be comparing this a little bit with a nomad I have some EnV in here as well that we might throw and we have all three of the Plastics to see how they throw and Putt all right dude for you hat or how do you want to wear it what is that bag I was I was seeing that and I was like yeah it's an es schology bag it's like a it just looks like a grip bag but yeah it's it's a pretty like I'm sure that they model it after the grip bag full cheaper I've actually soft yeah they said so the are the firm and these are the electrons cuz even the electrons feel a little different like everything's just a little tackier I think yeah that is tackier how's the firm feel I kind of like that yeah I I I like the firm for putting for the nomads so do throw your Nomads too I I'm not going to for the season but like if I need to then yeah they were actually really good throwers but the propy I just like better sick I don't know which one to take you could change it up you know throw them all might as well I might throw a soft and a firm I'm Caleb Tucker and this is harler plat disc golf course in Boulder Colorado I'm actually in school right now kind of let let go right there we're throwing pixel battle do you want to play whoever loses the hole chooses the next one for nine holes since we got two baskets out here sure the reason we're here is his school is like you're going to see it you'll probably see all of his classmates in their classes actually I literally got a class 5 minutes ago gold or red and then if I lose a hole then I can start yellow sweet yeah we can just take turns until someone loses you want to throw first or second it's totally I can go first I guess I've never thrown a pixel in my life I think I've only puted with them a little bit yeah I put it with it a little bit also but I have not thrown them yet either are we playing two off the top since we're so warm let's do that yeah dang it definitely going to need that second shot yeah you're playing the other yellow hole I'm going to mess with just this kind of red electron one call him 24 0.5 feels like it has more give in the flight plate but the rim Ste like as stiff as normal plastic that's a good shot actually go in Oh Way deep I thought I made the first shot out the car I'm going with the electron firm there it is there we go nice oh there it is okay got to put one by the basket now that has a chance oh my gosh all right one more then we got a goldilock we got left right this one's it a little low ah too low oh I hit the pull though so you just got picked up by MVP yep Team MVP actually the first day that I signed I got an ace which which disc with the tempo out here sick on hole six and then actually a couple days ago I got an ace with entropy on this hole oh my gosh how many times a year do you think you play this course I mean this is my first year going to this school okay I'm a freshman so probably I at this point it's like every day so but I think throwing is not going to matter too much plastic wise I I'm interested to see if there's any difference that we can tell by the end of this except it's just going to be preference putting I think is really where the preference is going to come in and this regular electron feels really nice both my dis ler right next to each other oh my gosh okay open the hand there you go well I get to choose you know that's I really like this electron firm I like the firm for putting I might be a soft guy today I don't know that is not the start you want how does it feel to have some speed control all right this hole is definitely one of the hardest putter holes in the course cuz the short one is like 330 already yeah I think we're going short I think long is just parar no matter where you land I barely even bu that with my drivers here real quick before you throw though yeah whoa got a nice little headwind too so big shout out infinite they sent me two of each of the Plastics so that we can compare them of course I need two of every single disc that's ever been made in every plastic but for the sake of the video for every stroke that I lose by you can have one of them they have to be they have to be different Plastics to start so if you beat me by four then you can have a pair otherwise you get one of each plastics for each for each one that Me by 20 points high right than me so I think so I think you got like 40 points for the course no I'm just kidding I don't know if I can reach this going to be very specific shot oh no super low sneak through uh-oh that's a part a little wider a little higher I think I'm just going to go with this electron feels like it's got so much it's like the perfect amount of give but not being too flexy oh and that's perfect all right hey I missed that put on hole one so that's fair wow here I'm going to throw a nomad real fast just to kind of see I got electron firm Nomads nad's definitely a little bit more overstable you think so yeah got yeah oh wow yeah the pixel like got some glitch DNA in it I think oh for sure little lower parting line very small bead on it a little deep though the first time I felt these I thought they were deeper than this time yeah they don't feel super super deep honestly I don't know if cuz I felt them did you feel Simon's ones or just other ones I felt Eagles yeah okay cuz I was that Simon's house before they came out at all and I was feeling them and I don't know if like that was back in my era when I thought that couldn't touch a putter that was deeper than like a the shallowest putter ever but they felt so deep and now they kind of feel all right they definitely don't feel that deep I mean it kind of feels like a P2 or P1 honestly yeah kind of almost like a like maybe a little bit more stable p1x maybe yeah I've never even felt a p1x I don't think I technically have either but on infinite they have the Scarab which I'm pretty sure is a p1x mold or something similar so you go with the soft oh my gosh that's a putt you're making those you just said you're parked kind of and I feel like that's the epitome of my putting recently you're parked and then I putt and then it's kind of you are me than it's you nice woo I Str putted my first year I was playing in 2022 and I was so much better at putting than I am now really yeah I think the thing though is I made like 20,000 practice putts that year and last year I made like 220 so like there's a difference all right I lost that hole so I get to choose we got the red short and the yellow about 400 they're down the hill so different but I think you can reach the L and I can't so let's go red the easiest hole in your state but the 30d easiest hole in this course it's a good call to speed control wise oh maybe not oh no it's so left juicy well I can make that wow you said you can make that I love it I'm throwing the softy I don't know why he's kind of riding with the firms I'm like them the softs actually I'm going to go stance I'm not going to try to run this thing up oh no oh he did I didn't trust it boy oh my gosh throwing it along I'll throw I throw it along with the Nomad and the firm ones cuz I think we got two firms the pixel and The Nomad do you have a proxy as well that I could throw oh I I didn't put it in my bag okay we might find a way to get a proxy later with someone else real quick fixels proxy shout out Eagle for the proxy for comparison I think they fly pretty similar that was really bad but maybe a little more over stability what do you what did you think it's hard to say cuz they're two very very different discs but flightwise I could see how you might draw a parallel uh I'll add a watt to the equation you think watt is wat might be a little definitely the the flippy flippi of the three I would say yeah probably watt then proxy than pixel but pixel's pretty straight the WT is a glitch without being a glitch oh no that's a car oh no that's good oh it's kind of wa that's kind of coming out dang okay respect that flight that was like 370 but downhill a lot all right let show the The Firm pixel first trying to hit these cars oh my gosh get off the tree yeah same exact shot yeah okay now the Nomad I think I can Flex this a bit more yeah get out of it still a putter though come on oh no if that kept gliding that's I brought one more disc all right to compare another electron firm and mvy this is what I'm bagging for throwing you might be able to tell that's the one that's in the bag fli yeah I knew it he could park this hole with the putter yeah that's like enemies are just a little lower profile I don't think they putt very good honestly cuz they they like hold lines as they Glide out instead of like gliding straight even on a heer yeah but for throwing perfect so far I think the pixel flies a little bit like a proxy but maybe more Glide and a little more turn interesting I didn't notice this wind yeah I didn't either I mean these are this what we teed off next to is those trees so you don't feel any of the wind they need to put flag on this basket specifically I know I mean they have a little flag on that sign over there little is an understatement so left good he though this freaking flag let's buck up here normal electron guy oh it's not what I also think the pixel's a little bit more glidey than the Nomad maybe better in my opinion maybe I'm just the James Conrad hater who knows I think I'll give him that putt hey you want to putt this out I mean let's get nce let's go red oh wait you threw first last time we're really bad at this I I usually don't even pay attention to the T order like unless I'm in a tournament I guess that makes sense my friends and I would just like all right so I'm winning by one stroke now cuz he beat me on the first hole and then I beat him on the second hole and then he stole the box from me very rudely so one to zero throw the firm he said he's throwing normal electron so maybe the switch up is something that needs to happen cuz he was a firm guy for the first couple holes ooh do it oh my gosh D this hole is a little bit more uphill than I always think these discs are sick man these are good they're really nice flip I mean that's parked but not ace oh that could do it push get there I don't have the power who these seem pretty these seem like perfect for Simon who has a lot more spin a lot more power and just like yeah I don't know I think he's going to putt with those just putt you don't think he's going to throw them I don't think so I thought he was throwing them in one of his recent videos I don't know they are sick ah too much dang Eagle MV o is the same exact one as yours do you really it's lit I thought it when you posted on your Instagram story 173 what do you have I don't know 1 175 okay we're good we got some sort of difference I thought I saw your Instagram story when we when I saw you out here and I thought I left it and you picked it up because it was the same exact one oh no okay that's a little more of a stable than pixel wa which makes all the sense in the world oh my gosh almost hit his bag man this round is just oh gosh ow I got poked in the eyes I went to put that bogey from 10 ft you missing on purpose man I so wish I could say I was missing on purpose you don't even know the yellow a little more haven't done yellow yet little more speed control that was way too much of both of those yeah very nose uper nice but it's fast so it pushed there I'm two back not a deal got to put it close and by close I don't mean 10 ft I mean like two ver the hardest hole it's how it tends to be recently it's annoying there we go miss it Miss it if there's snow down there it's parked let's see how this works for forehand my forehand has been kind of bad recently though that's actually really nice should thr on that that's sick proba good too straight all right worst shot ever not really oh I've push it I push it a little out of my range just kidding we got to have positive self talk guys what are we doing if we're not thinking positively about ourselves you know distraction all right let's make this let's go my gosh maybe I should put it in my back for C2 that was awesome it's my Lefty forehand attempt put it through the chains there we go the thing I figured out this offseason is just not having a bunch of things in your head just one thing in your head one thing to focus on and for what was in your head on that butt cuz that thought was sick definitely just for all my pluss recently it's just been a lot of spin I got to find that H how are you thinking of spinning it with your fingers or with your wrist I don't know both I guess hey it's been working you know what I did was I just tried to put six things in your head instead of one which in your head was Spin and in my head is wrist spin finger spin there's like 16 things there okay we can barely see the red over top we got a little headwind so I think we're just going to stick short in red oh no actually it's good thought I about to Ace the yellow for a second look at this sead he's standing level and this is just it's like 3 FT elevation gain on the teapad my like key I've been doing to actually throw this thing pretty good not but with it good but but like just I'm trying to keep it flat and let it kind of do its own thing sit that should be fine actually I put it with that normal electron last time so let's keep that going no that dropped so you're thinking Spin and electron those two things in your head what are you thinking now I say I'm going to miss this and that's going to be really wait that one's wet this one's not wet so sometimes I think I like take for granted that baskets are made to catch and like sometimes you'll get a spit out but like even if you putt hard and well and in the middle it'll happen but like not as often as I miss putts because I'm afraid of the basket so like just get spit out this happened a lot last season or no the season before last for me I was just like so afraid of that it would spit out that I would just fluff it and it would miss from 15 if I like pop hard and well and confidently and I get one spit out around but I miss four putts because I'm worried about getting a spit out I they probably should take the trait of just getting the spit out plus it's a cooler story anyways you have something actually real to be pissed about which is not your putting you get to choose this hole is kind of another speed controlly one we got some got some snow though yeah we do um you know both of these Halls are actually kind of Technical and hard let's just go let's just go red I think if I pop it on a touch of flex it's going to keep it in the air long enough whereas if I just try to throw a flatter Hiser this is so short that's way short I think this hole's actually I think you're right I think you're very right the green is kind of tough cuz it's so steep go in that should be parked oh yeah do it what the heck see if he can finally make a pot okay I need someone someone to trash shock me every single hole please I'm actually that's the if you ever SE me wearing airpods on the course I don't like wearing airpods on the course but if you see it it's just Caleb just talking trash in my ear that's all is happening I think I found the motivation two holes and you have one disc right now one stroke which you choosing red yellow yellow is basically par for yeah I actually burned yellow for the first time ever with the airshot yesterday that was sick cuz I sometimes ibody with a roller but I threw like a fision octane sick and yeah it's like it's out there it's like 430 450 or something it's far I think the pixel is a perfect shot for red so let's just go red electron don't put it outside your putting range cuz then you're not even going to get any discs so that would suck anywhere is my putting range I love the confidence dude I freaking love it so much oh no oh no you put it in the basket we got so many Ace runs today that was so sick I don't see a difference in the flight of these I think it's mostly F yeah everything seems to fly pretty glidey and straight left but I think that's like 20 it's like it's your range all right 147 fion Fireball the most fun Disc ever wow that is so over stable still yeah in part I think if you tip it it will drift yeah but if you don't tip it it's never going to tip itself yeah yep like that yeah like that's not hard but I just put it on the line it just huh it I think it does have some glitch DNA I think I say that about every MVP disc but it does no they're all just so straight though maybe the glitch just has MVP DNA H yeah did I think about that no I'm stupid W clutch Town kind of scary with putting your weight on the snow red they're both maybe getable but yellow's probably close to edge of range it's your turn to choose I don't think so I think it's still you well let's just let's just you can choose I've chosen to pass like you want you you want to yeah go ahead I'm going to yellow baby oh dang I want the stroke back okay I don't have that much power see why are you letting me choose I don't know I figured back of the box just CHS the whole time got home P Advantage I'm throwing red so I'm going to throw the softy then I going throw the hard I think the hard is what I would actually throw especially like cuz throwing harder the harder you throw the hard plastic I feel like you want to throw yeah I feel like I we got a Tailwind we got a Tailwind we do little left to right also oh that's a good wind if you tip it a little yeah put it out left just letting you know before you injure yourself this teat is one of the worst I've ever thrown on okay oh that's I wish there was no snow so I could throw a roller oh true it's like about play is like 350 I'd say maybe it's slightly shorter maybe 330 340 it's it's far though yeah yes dude get the flex that's so short you got to rip though that what that's not a fireball bro why are you lying to me it's 147 oh my gosh that is so cool should 50 ft this would be so clutch though come on baby you got this Oh I thought that was in dang Fireballs really close was that your Dy yeah dang I got to make my PT let's go nice so for a playoff we decided to go back to Hole number one and see if we could Ace it if he was able to Ace before me he would get a pair of the putters and if neither of us were able to Ace then I guess it'd be a draw and we'd have to settle it again some other time the reason I'm voicing this over as you can likely tell is because we didn't Ace we took three or four sets of trying to Ace with all the pixels the nomads and I don't even think we even hit metal once so that's a little bit embarrassing for us on 130t hole but I'd say honestly the pixel kind of hits the Mark I think the Plastics the way that they redid them feels much better than the normal electron Plastics at least to me cuz I like stiffness and tackiness in one I likely won't be putting with these but they are in my putter Wars which is a that I'll have coming out later this week as I finalize my decision on the putter for the season massive shout out to Caleb for playing with me it was a blast thank you to infinite for sending these out if you want to snag the pixels or the enves and choose your exact disc the links will be right down in the description for you no never a chance let's go
