foreign welcome back to Bonanza disc golf one decent shot the rest not today we're going to be reviewing the new not yet released Eagle McMahon Rainmaker Flex 3 color glow Rainmaker too I don't know it's this year's Rainmaker thank you so much tree for the birdie by the way that's going to be coming out in a few days discmania actually sends them out so big shout out to this Mania so we're gonna do a Johnny putter reviews where you play 18 holes at the most popular course in America Johnny Roberts Cisco of course here in Denver right now here is the leaderboard because we're putting all the putters against one another 10 down is the lead with five points in the Ace race because the ace race with whatever extra discs that we have is the tiebreaker I was throwing these around a little bit to try to Ace some shots okay and so I figured him out a little bit because honestly the hand feel for me is not ideal obviously these are great discs for a great player like Eagle McMahon will beat me nine days out of the week but also for putting they're a little bit interesting which is why I'm really grateful for that tree to just kick it under the basket for us we're still gonna Ace run everything because that sounds way more fun than just trying to park everything get in oh oh my gosh bye-bye are there numbers being basically almost a P1 I think they're kind of a mix between a P1 and a P2 which I think the old like green I don't know maybe the sky gods are p2s these are interesting because I really like p1s the handful of p1s even isn't amazing so I was hoping that these have like a better hand feel and a similar stability but so far I think they're slightly more overstable oh the drop and the handful I think is just slightly worse for my little baby hands as always here at Johnny Roberts a bogey means that we're giving one of these guys away two of the patrons the sponsor Circle if you want to join the sponsor Circle there's four different tiers you get an extra video every month and some other benefits links down in the description if you want to check it out I'd rather get nice and park everything but I still like want these to get a good score because I think they're good discs you know I think if I played very bad with them Eagle man would never talk to me and we don't want that someone said that I should go back to straddle putting I'm like no my inline pot is like it's working for the most part but I had so much more practice in straddle and I haven't been practicing any putting for like weeks as we've been moving so I think we're gonna go back to straddle today thank you comments here and I think for a deeper putter like this it helps me to keep it online or a powder that is slightly less comfortable in my putting grip so real quick before we get on to Hole number three I'm gonna send you back to the practice basket where I talked a little bit about why this isn't the most ideal for me in putting well I kind of figured it out a little I would say putting with these is not super conducive to my size hands and the profile it kind of reminds me a little bit of the gesture discs love that I reviewed which I think is similar to the bullet where it slopes down a little bit at the bottom Edge they're just a little bit deeper which makes them slightly more comfortable to put oh a bit of loves but I'm not really getting clean clean releases with my style of putting too much of the pad of my finger is sitting right here where I wanted to kind of sit like this I have to put my thumb in an awkward position because of how slightly bulkier it is obviously these were made for Eagle Wing bands putting so they're going to work for a lot of people to putt I would just say that they're probably half and half baby hands approved it just depends on your style putting because if you putt like this or with your finger on the rim already you're probably gonna like them all right hold three longest hole on the course 273 all the way down there on purple guy just doing some form change yesterday and figured something out and like was thrown consistently over 400 but I don't think it correlates the putters I really need to learn fan grip I don't do it oh so lucky get in all right that's correlate in terms of power but not in terms of accuracy because that was shankopotamus with the best Mist possible oh the drop dude okay it's a little baby flip up but not a lot that's also ugly throw but all those are pretty solid honestly so I think MVP walked so that all these companies could run with putting half flight numbers on there because these numbers are two three zero zero point five definitely not as understable as the p1s because those things kind of flip out of the box I think a lot of it has to do with the beveled Edge down there not 100 sure oh yeah straddle putting is good whatever and I'm wanting to practice inline a lot more for my season so I can have both weapons all the time I was hoping that that 0.5 wouldn't add a crazy amount of stability and I'm sure that these will beat in maybe not super fast but relatively fast because they're a stiffer Baseline plastic they're the flex three colored glow I don't actually know if they glow though but also shout out Manny Trujillo another Denver guy who made the stamps for these and it could just be the elevation but I would for sure say that these are either like two four zero one maybe two point four zeros point five but could definitely hold some anhyzer hold some torque no we'll just throwing nose up hit something oh that was bad you need some less Annie on that wasn't our first shot but we landed here let's make it oh let's go Twisters luck oh it's so lucky it's so lucky get some Redemption for you peachy boy yeah dang it I didn't want to have to go back to straddle but it's nice to make some putts all right this one my by far least favorite hole in the course super gimmicky because you're just throwing over this crap got a head one now so not ideal but straight ahead just a lot more spin than speed on these guys oh get out of it please oh well we hit a tree yeah that's better drop in oh parked it oh it's low oh that's ugly all right White had a really good drive last one so we'll Ace with it this one oh all right a little outside the circle this is the range that I like having the inline pop Fork because I feel like I get more power up to 55 feet but literally only today I don't know why it took me so long I realized I probably have 10 to 20 000 reps uh straddle and like maybe 2 000 of the inline so it's gonna take a little more work oh God see all right 240 uphill straight at it honestly flat to slight Highs are a little bit right and pretty hard well didn't Ace it but oh juice get through oh yes yes oh one point for the ace race dang that was sick all right 170 feet Dead Ahead we're gonna try to put these on a forehand a little bit of a left to right or right to left win I should probably turn the right way to call the correct wind I do think these will hold some pretty good forehand torque specially because I have a pretty spinny forehand that I focus on a lot of hyzer instead of on a lot of speed oh that flipped up a bit that's probably sure it's actually accessible too yeah 38 feet good catch let's go I think these require a lot of spin because when they start to slow down they start to dump they can bounce off the chains a decent bit like they kind of get hung up instead of just like falling into them so that's interesting so if you got a spinning putt it's gonna be really good alrighty hole nine 240. up and left no get over it get over again oh geez that's in the water that's in the water yes good tree that would have been nuts man we got some good luck with these guys right there and the white water over here honestly that's a great little picture just gonna give me one of your fancy bags for the licensing of that fluffy putt didn't go very well flipped in the headwind get off that tree oh my gosh I hit that three every time Oh I thought I made it shoot all right purple guy for sure well Annie sit her down in there I don't hate it I don't hate it I don't hate it drop oh that's it that's the one oh my gosh deep people make disc golf like grip products here in Colorado you need disc golf lotion products rehydrate your hands so they don't crack nuts all right hole 12 let's hope this shot isn't as trash as the setting this was the hold of that when I was running a little bit earlier hit two out of four liking these 45 Footers when I hit trees I had one right they're straight when you spit them all right hole 13 230 this one's one that always kind of tricks me up because it's just a straight shot but there's a little low ceiling on the right there's that tree on the left so I think we gotta go Peach guy because I'm feeling it I'm honestly just gonna throw straight at it that is not straight added dude I definitely over rotate it frustrated at it and it's parked don't over rotate kids but make your step buds foreign oh man those things are glidey it always surprises me on the putt when you put just enough spin it just kind of wants to go forever these are great part jobs but genuinely if the profile of this was different a little shallower which it's not because it's for a freaking best player in the world not for a little Scrump like me but I would think about it because I like how stable it is and I like a glidy neutral stable putter because my piercings can be a little flippy sometimes which doesn't give me the confidence to really juice them another shorter here 155 feet Straight Ahead this is one where come on we gotta hit some metal we only got one medal right now get there whoa just short don't throw it high though no too low oh so good though this one's pretty good as a CAT scan purple first baby oh too much tail Juiced it man that could get it man I really thought I had that one I even called the headwind all right we still need two of these last three all right 145 there it's just a spike Kaiser you know man specialty if I had a grenade I would do it but I'm terrible at that oh just a little deep I could do it ah two left practice that Lefty real fast drilling it one of them hole 17 243 going back to the photogenic boy and then we'll do the pink one last because that one also looks sick straight ahead I think since the wind's pushing left to right flat to adjust a little bit left to the basket or slight Annie a lot left to the basket will be good or slight Highs are straight at it well that's so far oh my God that's good no stop finishing Stay Stay Stay Stay Stay safe always tends to be that the first shot's the worst which makes sense let's have the circle again really one two for me it's 12 steps all right 14 15. yeah so it's about 40 feet so if you ever wondered how far it is for a little baby like me if I slept 12 times that's how far 10 meters is so basically every step is about two and a half feet let's go all right hole 18 we have the record only one metal hit though we're gonna throw some Annie's with these guys with my uh new form stuff that I'm working on it's becoming easier not great but easier to throw on the angles that I want to so pink eye like I said foreign way too terrible oh I deserve a step in that bottle big putt we'll go paint the purple you know and then obey Ah that's a good putt to finish baby I think I am going to like the straddle and practice in line but put straddle for now all right so as you can see I'm going to be throwing here we're just going to go until we Ace I'm going to be giving one to the patreon what's cool about it honestly is for Circle two which is the five dollar tier if you're a page room for a year you're gonna pay for a c tier entry for me the second tier I'll pay for your B tier third page for an eight tier and the fourth tier will pay for a Pro Tour event once I'm able to finally start getting into those so a lot of fun over there thank you so much for this Mania for sending these out I had a much better time with them than I thought after I actually warmed up and figured out how to throw with my correct form I had to really think about that uh there will be a video going around but dance of bogeys that shows you the first couple holes before I actually stopped and re-shot this video because I wanted to make it actually a good video for you guys and I was just throwing a terrible terrible form uh we finally got a new leaderboard which will just put over me right here well I'm hopefully not throwing hopefully I finally get one but video's gonna end when I get that Ace and hopefully that'll be good you can definitely check out the last Johnny Potter reviews right down here with the Savior I'll put the whole playlist got the Savior and the love which is also really good disc uh excited for these to come out they're not gonna make my bag they're not nearly comfortable enough for me I have to really manipulate the way that I hold them for putting and for throwing but they're definitely a good distance I hope you were able to tell us okay love you guys bye finally not took too long
