Join Ricky Wysocki on a disc golf adventure as he tests out his trusty old Innova Pig in this special episode of Bonanza disc golf. This is not just any ordinary throw - Ricky has been given the Pig by a fellow pro and wants to see if it still packs the punch. With Ricky's Tour series experience, he'll be comparing notes with other discs, including a Zone from his own collection. The question on everyone's mind: does this Pig still have that elusive glide? And what about its unique thumb track design? Will it fly straight or skip around like a Z? Tune in as Ricky takes on six holes at Area 51 in Columbus, Ohio, and puts the Pig to the test. Will he decide to bag it or bin it after just three days? Listen in to find out.

welcome back to Bonanza disc golf we are right now sitting at hole 7 of Area 51 which is a disc golf course in the Columbus area of Ohio and I'm going to be throwing for the first time ever an Innova pick yes this pig is a little bit beat in I was given it by one of my buddies after I played him in a badanza battle but I've never thrown a pig this is the pro Pig Ricky wysocki Tour series I've heard that there's a difference between the Ricky and the Bradley Williams Tour series but we're gonna be throwing the Ricky pay today on six holes here I have some discs to maybe compare it to because I think it's a three one zero three probably make sure that color glow Pro Pig apparently is what this is three one zero three so interesting numbers I'm interested to see if it actually has one Glide which is the only other disc that I've thrown like that are the burg and the Tilt I think this thing Glides more I'm interested to see what I think because this is bagger Bennett and if I don't like it we're putting it in my bin of discs the giveaway and if I can't beat par with it I'm giving it away within the next three days to someone that I find on a disc golf course even if I say that you should bag it so let's get on the hole seven we're gonna play six holes with it hopefully that gives me enough time to determine what it's like because I have some things that we'll compare it to along the way off the bat though the thumb track I don't know how I feel about it it honestly kind of fills your hand pretty well on a backhand don't mind that at all forehand kind of kind of feels good on the forehand the thumb track I kind of like where that sits I like throwing these like rounder discs especially because they have a little bit less skip than something like a Zone which I have here to compare it to Hole seven we have 276 feet all the way basically straight here cutting back in so we could try the big Heiser line so I think what I'm gonna try to do is maybe a dumb thing to do with this disc but we're going to try a big Flex forehand over that white bush if it's as stable as it says it is it should be able to fight back let's see what happens thank you pretty solid pretty pretty much or similar to what I would expect maybe out of like an ESP but or ESP Zone like I have here I'll try that it's a little bit hard to get it so high and so turned with the nose down that's why that one didn't have the nose down but that was a pretty good flight I think the pig would have even maybe been farther I'm interested now we got an actual upshot with the big so we can see how it works there I think if I didn't hit that little cabbage there this thing was going to be real solid maybe turning a little too much though because that's slowing it down definitely helped I'm gonna try to put this in with the pig because it's more Circle two I'm probably not jump hunting this is still kind of an upshot range so we'll see how this works on a little jump hotline oh just a little just a little bit though overall honestly and for reference this is the buzz I keep following it but it's a zone so I imagine that foreheading this thing about 275 300 might not be crazy no that is crazy because that lost a lot of steam and still went about 230 feet ish par we'll take it all right this is going to be super interesting this is hole number eight 285 feet and it looks like the shot lines up for the exact same shot that I try to throw in the last hole with just a flex forehand with an overstable-ish disc we are now going into a headwind as you can hear all the wind is behind me oh now you can hear probably I do not think that this thing is as crazy overstable which I don't think anyone said it was but the numbers 3103 would lead you to believe that especially the one Glide I don't necessarily know if I believe that we'll try it out here and see how she goes foreign definitely rolled my wrist over on that one I'm gonna go mark it and throw it again that way we get a good representation of what the flight might look like because maybe I should have tried to throw it flat but one thing I'll say is if we Ace we count it as a two let's make it happen much better that's pretty solid that's interesting because I didn't try to force over too much I tried to throw it flat slightly anhyzer flat and it helped flat pretty pretty long alrighty first little oinker was in there second little oinker is pretty far got it about 240ish feet I mean I didn't like murder that disc I didn't throw it as hard as I could but it seems to be like with that kind of power what I would get with most of my upshot discs like a zone or something similar it's definitely not as overstable I brought out a razor claw 3 here dust out or Toro not even close to that level which makes sense but somehow I gotta get in here and throw out I got a little patent pending miss it no that's not good for a beating par that's really not good because we only have six total holes I'm gonna have four that I need to get two birdies on it's hard when you don't really have a lane in there all right let's just make some magic happen from the circle three oh that's not bad it's a bogey it's not what you like to see folks to see well you especially don't like to see when you are down a stroke I need two it's a hole that you absolutely cannot reach because it's 345 feet with a pig this does not make me happy about my chances of not losing this disc I just gonna have to throw a really big shot I guess and now the wind is coming at us again it's all right wow wow wow I will say I'm gonna throw my my zone here in my Z Zone it's a little slick but let's see if I can get a good move on it it's pretty similar to The Zone except yeah it's it's a pretty similar flight to that that zone which is a little bit beat in I do like the rim profile better though I think overall it does have a little less Glide though it seems like it finishes a little bit more dramatically where it just kind of drops to the ground after the end of its flight so I would say that it's definitely I don't know if it's one guy maybe two maybe the Zone's fourth I don't know but it's definitely less gladier than the zones it's kind of interesting here's the Zone here's the Pig I mean I never really throw the Zone well off the tee the Z Zone I do need to every once I get a crystal Flex or something so I'm gonna try that out I think I like this one I put it back in my bag I just don't like the zones they feel so bad foreign that definitely does have very low Glide once it gets below speed it's dropped I can definitely see where they're coming from with that super low Glide number that's definitely a positive if that's what you're looking for especially if you don't like the feel of something like a burger maybe you should have brought the Berg out to test against this don't have it right now still in the back of my van I just need a couple birdies we can make it happen next one looks like it's only 255. we can get it done okay this course is doing me dirty I'm playing this blind like I play most courses for these videos and uh it's another forehand line so we're gonna try the flex forehand again the problem with a one guy disc that needs to finish is that since it is only one Glide it just kind of drops even though it might drop on this angle instead of a disc that has more Glide will kind of penetrate as it finishes so I'm gonna have to throw this pretty solid 255 because I need birdies yes oh my gosh yes go in the basket Maybe that's a little long let's go oh that felt good coming out of the hand okay maybe not a bird comparison because it is a three speed so it will still go farther this is kind of interesting disc especially for the way that it feels in your hand which feels more like an understable disc normally like a Mako 3 mind Bender they all have that really rounded Edge this has that too but I think with the thumb track it makes it have equivalent of a puddle top when it's flying through the air and that makes it want to get to the ground more and uh I really I really like it I really hope I didn't push it too far along oh no where did it go okay one two three four five six seven eight here we are no Anthony make a freaking putt this shoot I like this desk okay two holes left and I need to birdie both of them otherwise I have to give this disc away within the next three days that sucks all right I did just look at the two holes that we have here this one is 429 feet but a par four so we can get a good shot out there into the Fairway anything over that bush I'm happy we have a wind pushing us from the right to the left so I'll take that into account but as long as we can get it all the way down there in two and make a putt hopefully because it's an upshot disc within about 15 feet the next hole is only 230 feet and it looks like backhand Highs are out please let me beat par I know it's not up to you but I'm asking you like it is foreign don't get behind that tree that's the one other place you don't want to be pretty solid distance on that throw though it's gonna be interesting it's going to be very interesting we're not far from the basket which is big and you should have thrown it shorter and give myself a guaranteed look a little patent pending ish shot nope gotta be on the knee drop drop drop drop drop didn't turn it nearly as much as I needed to didn't turn it at all actually it's not a far look though foot place come on ah sucks man this sucks so bad as long as I can Ace this hole if I don't Ace it I have to give it away all right it was absolutely my putting that has let me down so far it says it's a par four on there it's only 243 feet though so I'm not gonna listen to it just basically where that Gap is down in those trees finish on hyzer you got a putt I missed two inside of 25 foot pots today wow Anthony maybe I should have freaking putted with the pig maybe that one of them better get a little Skippy little baby skip probably a freaking 25 foot look I don't think it fits necessarily the Zone slot it does die a little bit more it doesn't quite have enough Glide or as much finish which is a part of having not as much Glide really solid disco I'd say Anthony make a putt all right we're on over on this video almost made it too by not looking at that which is thumb because I for sure would have begged this disc at least to try out against my zones because I really like the way that it feels in my hand if you don't like how the zones feel but you want a similar flight not the same check out check out a pig and they're cheaper too they're like 15 bucks a pop or something um while I try to find someone who wants the pig go ahead and watch my last baguette or minute video also pretty interesting pretty cool shots in that one and maybe played and put it a little bit better I don't know I'm done of course I made that come on all right we're just on the course and Greg notice that I had a channel and so it's a perfect time to give away the stinking Pig which I wanted to put my bag I actually really like this disc uh but I lost the challenge that I had to do in the video so I had to give it away so that's all you man I appreciate it thank you for sure how's it going hey you as well
