Podcast Transcript
I'm not going to lie to you when I got this allotment from infinite I was hoping the putter was going to be slightly different because I had heard that this is the year of the flippy with infinite they had a flippy mid-range come out the K which is a lot of fun I knew that they were having a putter come out and then I pulled this thing out and it is the weirdest catch disc of the year in my banana FR video where I did unboxing subscribe to Banana if you want they were saying that this might be like the Inova birdie because obviously Inova makes infinite Plastics but we have one in R blend which is similar to R Pro in 149 and then this one is Max weight in metal flake color glue or maybe just metal flake they're going to be coming out Memorial Day May 27th along with another disc I was very confused about which is the Halo Monarch which is going to be an infinite exclusive which is like a baby groove I'll definitely be making a banana FR video but today we're going to be throwing these which are probably the weirdest catch this of the year maybe the weirdest putter of the year in my mind it was like a pull cat with a rhino on top because infinite does mix and match you can see kind of The Parting L there might be really good for some Saucy forehand but I'm not sure if that's the case so today we're going to be playing an episode of Johnny putter reviews we're going to be throwing it against the disman Mania Spore this new Neo soft one as well as a glitch you got throw the glitch since it's Johnny putter abuse we'll be putting with each of these before we get out there I want to actually take you guys to another round Denver local shop right next to this place cuz I do want to see if this is like the in of a birdie cuz some people have said that to me I don't know I've never thrown a birdie I've thrown a pull cap before I don't own one so that's why it's not here I hope that this is a little more stable kind of maybe closer to the Spore than the glitch maybe even more overstable Especially since one is Max weight all right just pulled up to another round let's go take these bad boys in let's see what they actually might be so looking at it it seems like the bottom is definitely a pole cat the top I wasn't able to quite figure out because I looked at the Pig and the Rhino those the only ones that they had in there there was no birdie which I'm going to go look up the side profile and overlay that as well because the pig was honestly closer than the Rhino for what the top is of this disc I do think that the top of this is a little straighter not quite as round as the pig or the Rhino the Rhino is just way rounder okay we got this from Inova and looking at it that looks like the closest as to what this could be so PK at bottom birdie top maybe maybe it is just a birdie might just be a birdie but let's get on the course all right so we have a max weight one here we'll throw the 149 against the Spore for today if the Spore wins this is a 159 ooh closer max weight if the Spore beats the glyph I'll give one of the glyphs away whichever one you guys want we'll start out with it straight ahead super shorty oh it's very straight okay a little like hookup at the end but nothing crazy at all similar to the Spore maybe sit down don't go B oh it's set and Ace run with the other glyph that one's got more stability to it and less Glide but I do definitely think for this disc the weights are going to make a big difference it's also different plastic which our blend does is maybe more stable I don't know we'll putt with it let's go yeah there very very variable stabilities I might be able to actually like kind of crank on that one yeah I'm very intrigued by this mold I'm I'm mostly intrigued like is it much more for handable cuz it does feel much more comfortable on the forehand than the others it did seem like it want to get out of the sky pretty fast so I think it'll be one that's like good to like hold on hisers and not flip whereas this one might flip if you throw it really hard the Spore I'm not quite sure on though because these seem to fly relatively similar but very different hand Fields so it'll come down to probably how they forehand which we will have some forehand holes coming up for them but I really want an ace like we'll give all the safe Ace runs with the first ones but I hope that by the endend of the video one of these disc has going in the mask at some point from the teapad all right we got a little head left to right that's a boring Ace run what am I doing my life drop in there baby oh oh it's so oh it's way straighter than I thought wow I thought that would definitely push to the left a little bit and glitch in basket no that's straight too that's overstable nice killing it maybe that metal flake one I just threw it really bad the first time these clips are growing on me they're glider than I thought with the thumb track I heard tentative numbers are 1 15 so we'll give our numbers by the end of this I'm intrigued I'm intrigued it is weird putting with these things feel like you have to open your hand more instead of letting it like spin out all right 2 two big shout out to the Arata parks department moving some baskets we're going to go ahead and Skip hole three otherwise we'd have to hit their truck I think if we're on track for like 15 down we'll come play it and make sure we get it does look like it's going to be a pretty aable position this was the longest hole in the course though so all right straight ahead 153 nice little Ace run little turnover during this Spore video I got this on a second shot but we'll give it the first time oh it's like not even anywhere stable I like the way that that one hits and sits the ground though come on Spore that one is so floppy hit the tree let's go this GFF will go in the basket ooh this is where I maybe should have forehand we'll try this one for in oh well it holds it we'll do that again better dang there it is let's go glitchy boy this is honestly going to be so helpful for my touch not the forehand touch we'll work on that but I feel like we can get more than one today my throws are feeling silky not as silky as they'll ever be but the silkiest they've ever been here we'll forand this guy in for you better than I anticipated with the thumb track I was like a these are going to be so weird they're pretty normal so if you just like the feel of a thumb track like obviously they're paying me to talk about their discs but they don't care if I like them or not they only make me want bag one of them and of course I'm going to be more biased so like definitely watch other reviews I think like the Arlin ones they're going to go for like 15 bucks or something so when they come out if you want a fun catch disc with a thumb track way better than I thought all right this whole area is starting to grow back up and we have a good bit of wind so this is going to be pretty tricky this is where I should probably throw the metal flake glyph max weight straight ahead it's like 200 ft over the Ravine we we'll stay with the white one our wind's kind of pushing this way I want to kind of throw a soft turnover but not too soft so it doesn't make it across I think it was pretty good that one is very drifty on that left to right I don't know if it's the wind or what oh that one's even drifti holy cow try to forehand this one again oh yeah flips up a little bit money sport throwing dude I forgot how fun catch discs are I haven't had a glitch in the bag like anything in the bag for a while oh they're so fun I'll just have to see oh I have to put from that I'll just have to see how uh torque resistant it actually is H going need to give it more air so it'll actually Glide that was not very right maybe a little weak but I think because of how light this was it got pushed out this hole might now be the longest on the course it's 275 we have a pretty maybe about 10 m hour of left to right so we got to throw this maybe on some Hiser and just hope it doesn't flip too much oh my that was Ace run so it flipped and turned pretty nice it's kind of pushing like that similar line oh four sorry way high okay that's more stable that's a good bit more stable we'll try this other gliph oh that's more stable too not like the Spore the they kind of want to just push straight another glitch a right here come in drop it drop it drop it drop it oh a dang do it a that one I think is the most overstable by far that cloud Stone but also has like a really nice shape the glyph I think is going to be a little less overstable than all those spores the arban H it's kind of it is interesting it definitely lives up to kind of what I thought of titling this video anyways the weirdest catch disc or weirdest disc of this year still kind of perplexing me a little bit I'd say if the glitch is seven and the Spore is seven or whichever Glide numbers they put on it the glyph is a step down from that but in that AR blend it's closer I just feel like with the glyph I don't have the like trust to like juice it yet stay high I'm going to pop from the glyph but I want to move you cuz there's people behind sorry it's about 23 ft two Pars in a row pretty weak sauce next one's a acce run for sure oh oh oh it's like a head right to left oh not super different okay way more headwind spor can take the lead here wow that flipped up so much what the heck these things do not like headwinds there you go 43 to the Spore and I guess it's officially taking the box so now we can throw these back to back without worry this one we're going to try to forehand with all of them the thumb track does feel nice this one definitely feels more substantial in your hand but it also feels like you got to throw it harder maybe I mean it's coming up shorter than all the rest of these which are significantly lighter than it but I'm also throwing it like the rest of these where you probably the juice into it a little bit more if I Ace like another two times with the glitch I might have to go back in the bag for the year flip over ooh okay perfect to the short position oh that's pretty smooth not the best shot in the world but the flight was a nice flip up to low turn instead of like crazy turn okay that's the maxic one that's pretty good I don't mind that at all ah no finish at all it's a glitch yeah we're going to have some putts edge of circle middle circle two here feels weird to try to like Huck a forehand a bit cuz I'm throwing everything so soft right now but the glyphs definitely seem to be more easily for handable like they'll handle the torque better I'll try that a couple more holes for sure just to make sure I'm not speaking off of one throw oh stay up there we go 44 back to tied up I really have to accentuate like opening the hand instead of really spitting it cuz it's going to get there with how light and glidey it tends to be all right there's a cute little family playing over at 9 so we're going to play 11 10 9 and then 12 skip through a couple groups glyph got the box pack wow it's just like that's straight I keep thinking because of the thumb track is going to be stable it's just not oh dang yeah that one just flies much more like a typical putter that wants to get to the ground another one oh that did it no don't drop on me you little goober all right we might actually just skip some holes we're going to ace the next hole though the next one is my favorite Ace position out here o air bounds putt let's go not quite an air bounds but good shot yeah buddy we might get back in play three if we don't have another Ace cuz I want a second Ace today this hole this hole can provide we got straight discs for a very straight shot and we're five down with both of them a too low great birdie great birdie oh too left and low okay those are birdie place now time to Ace run oh that one just dropped so much cuz of how heavy it is dang it all right four hand days incoming right now we're on pretty good Pace I think we've only missed two so if we stay on this pace we might have to go back and play all those holes oh gosh turn over in that wind oh yeah those glyphs like it much more than even the stable better no come on for hands are hard okay I saw that like light glyph roll a little bit it's like crap and then I threw a very similar shot with a much heavier much more stable Spore and did the exact same thing so G maybe the most for handable catch disc out there but any catch disc will help teach you touch in your forehand these thumb tracks might just help some people with a little bit better grip 230 and a right to left that ahead AR BL glyph glyph oh okay that right left did more than I thought thought i' heer flip it didn't work this I think I got to throw straight at it I think this is a little over stable than the AR blend one a lot of wind definitely more over stable but I think this one is about as overstable as that but less glidey cuz it's max weight wow that's also really low plus the other ones like to lift so I think I'm throwing it after all these discs are going to lift and like oh I'm throwing it bad but I think I'm being relatively consistent no chance too stable whack glitch that could do it stay up stay up oh right on the pole I'm throwing that glitch pretty clean it's also the last I'm throwing so I have all the corrections to make but holy cow is that coming out of my hand right where I want it to for the most part it's so light that was such a good putt sport to take the lead again good thing I don't have to practice and put with these Putters I think my shot to AC's is the backhand but we're going to try it with the forehand cuz we got a little tail this time we'll see really how these guys like to handle no lead was taken there so wow that's so straight great kick that was like here popped straight and like didn't want to flutter or turn at all oh it's also dang it's right to left okay that one I threw a little softer but I parked it so it doesn't matter we'll try this see how this one flies much more like a true disc I'd say but that one is pretty for handable made the correction no I didn't well I mean I made the correction to park it but not even close to go in okay we got to make a pop from this glyph now otherwise the Spore is taking the lead and one of these glyphs might be going home to you guys otherwise they just go home to me they're going home no matter what football thought it was too low I thought I overcorrected and I almost did okay very similar win a lot of right to left here so it's going to be pretty touchy turnover oh discharger we'll charge him up oh no oh no keep drifting come on be that catch disc wow there's a hard hole with these we'll try this one see if we can throw it like more like a tradition Putter and and kind of get it there like treat it like a very maybe like breakish from DJ where it's kind of like a break maybe like a Burg it's might be like a Burg I'll throw it like a Burg I think that's pretty close to what a Burg would have done a little higher and that's great we'll Ace the glitch now just cuz has to drift dude that is such a good height now actually Ace get stable come on oh my gosh other side oh my gosh way bigger than I expected wow that is 90 ft from The Cliff it's like 45 from the Spore but it's so far from the cliff all right this would be huge we don't have to talk about it we don't not have to talk about that this one's super acable I've never even got close to it though the next one's pretty long and the last one also a nice turnover is so baskets through there this tree right here is a Mando that you have to be left of so you can kind of go that inside line there's too much wind honestly to take them around the outside maybe this one I'll take around the outside but slight turnover do it oh dude that was so sick all right more a little too high a lot too high those chains might have just helped that thing to win we'll see we don't have to talk about that cloudstone over the top maybe okay it's got enough push yes drop drop drop oh right over top that thing is like a Berg SS maybe it's probably what I call it maybe that's just a Berg but it's those max weight GS if you like infinite if you like the forehand and you don't like the feel of the burg you might the flight of that it's not quite as bricky that's why I call Burg SS it's more like Berg plus Glide but like not that much Glide just a very tiny amount oh and yeah that Spore is gone and that glyph stayed close after hdden chains that would have been my first actual Ace of the year come on Spore be clutch oh that is a joke that is like right side solo coming in that's where these things love to catch maybe not 140 gram discs but still tied up what the heck left to right here this one 243 so decent decent little shot here little Hiser to flip up oh flipped too fast not enough Hiser that's still up there with a 30-footer but me putting with that thing is no bu right now so we'll just still Spore right at it wow there's a lot more wind up there they're in almost the same spot we'll have to see who's out a little more leftward on my a maybe not with that stable level one that's better oh too straight oh my gosh dude yeah that's why I call the burg SS cuz it wants to get to the ground but it like it hesitates you know the burg is like no I'm going that one's like maybe I'll go and then it eventually does W I thought I made it dude come on the Spore might be slightly out H yeah I think it's Spore by a tiny tiny bit oh that's clutch dude okay down one down one from the Spore since the Spore is winning if the Spore can keep that on the last hole we're just going to go acce r on on hole three but it's not going to count and one of these will be given away way better than I expect I'm not even going to lie I did not expect to like these very much and my forehands not been great but these definitely seem more for handable which is a win I think they're still going to require some touch this one maybe not as much one you can probably Yank on a bit we'll try in this one why not I just can't it's so light and it's not really rounded over so I really my putts with it have been way more off whereas this like these discs feel a little closer to normal discs but if you like that PCAT like burgish style you might like these so let's see if the Spore can hold on to this one stroke lead 243 straight ahead wow it doesn't want to fade actually oh if that rolls that's bad drift more o yeah that light one is definitely more heer flippy but both of them have long butts cstone jeez oh right got got my toe that was really bad whoa big right to left let's see this guy handles forand thrown a little harder wow that's straight that's pretty nice that really reminded me of a bird cuz that was into that crosswind like held it pretty good flipped up rode straight and it was starting to finish right before that tree or get in that space so very slow if you gave a Berg One More Glide point or two more Glide points maybe that one's like 130 one or 1 130 yeah that one's one and the other one's like a 16 negative one1 or something so negative 1 Z the spor is out again if it can clutch up it's all over oh little tree in the way a right to left I thought I was going to put on anheiser did not put it on anheiser I'm putting with this guy's going down the drain but if we can clutch up here little extra Focus for you buddy all right since we skip two in the back I honestly don't like him for Ace runs and that's what's more fun so this one we're going to call Mando Ace run which basically means it's going to be a par then we'll play hole two then hole three we got the box back here have to make sure it's chain High thought I did a first try I keep thinking that's more stable than it is let's go flip up too much hit that tree please thank goodness jeez I keep thinking that thing is more overstable than it is oh better tree we're going to call Mando Ace run again meaning that there could be a winner decided in case they go too far past if the disc is not chained High it loses got you guys super zoomed in so you can see all the ace goodness but we have 186 ft LIF still as the Box don't get it chain High automatic DQ looks like that might be an auto DQ unless this is too low too it's not going to be not going to be good either because of that unless we can make it with the glyph as a rebuttal oh my gosh all over so G's going one of you guys go follow me on Instagram that's where the giveway will be done all those will be linked on infinite's website shout infinite for sending me those Cliffs they're more fun than I thought let me know which
