welcome back to Bonanza disc golf into another bag of Bennett it has been a minute since we've done a bag of Bin it this one is patreon sponsored however there are no more patreon sponsored baguette or Bennetts after the ones that have already been requested by patrons because the patreon has changed a little bit if you want to check it out the link is in the description to see everything that you'll get it also includes one additional video per month that is not going to go on this channel just for the patreon that they get to vote on but today we're going to be taking a look specifically at the infinite disc Exodus this looks like it's in their eye blend plastic which I really like I have a pharaoh in this plastic we're going to be comparing it to two other straight Fairway drivers that basically all three of these are fighting for a place in my bag the Axiom crave which has my shadow Advanced stamp I actually just ordered some more mvpxm will be coming in within the next month and a half or so hopefully sooner uh as well as the birdie disc golf supply strike and this is the one that's been in my bag for a while I took it out to beat another one into this perfect level of beadedness we're gonna play nine holes here they call it the top nine at bird's nest disc golf course in Arvada Colorado I just got done with the 18 which you guys saw yesterday but there's a light a little nine-hole course laid out on this top area here which seems like it's going to be pretty windy but we'll get to see how these do against one another on nine holes if I can't be part with any of them they're getting given away shouldn't happen ideally but you never know with this wind and with just straight seven speeds even though this is one of my favorite categories that we can get we'll show you guys from up here because this hole is going to that basket from 350 feet away all the way down there so it's probably more like a 410 foot shot since these guys are going to get over that hill and a bunch of wind is going to push them I think flat to hyzer shot with all of them we'll go with my strike first because this is my baby slight bit of stand up that might actually get a pot we'll go crave next this is a fission crave it's also max weight two nose up throwing up pillows not my specialty slight little bit of stand up pretty similar to the strike just a little bit more fade probably because that strike is a little bit beaten but it's also one throw kind of cool wearing a little bit of a line crave here Exodus and strike pretty equidistant too oh I need more Circle to practice I've really been focusing on changing to an inline instead of working on Circle two oh not bad even the short ones lift out of your hands with that much have a windage not just three parts okay all right hole number two interesting it's straight ahead of us there it is 337 you just saying slight downhill right to left wind so we got to leave them out flat right and once they start to hyzer the window pushing back that way so strike slides the Box there's a slight head so I'm actually going to put a little bit of hyzer on these guys too that's why you get the strike dude I love that disc so much I mean that's like 15 feet still a little low honestly should have put a little higher short not by much though oh we're gonna spoil the video here you gotta promise me if I spoil the video that you'll watch it to the end or at least until I bore the crap out of you but if you find a distance like like a seven speed five or six Glide zero to negative one turn and one or two fade it's going to be an incredible disc like it's going to be great for beginners it's gonna be great for pros I just want to get my hands on trying all of them but every time I try one I'm like great disc it's the same it's a great disc like I haven't really thrown any that I haven't liked unless it's just a handful problem it's kind of hard to go wrong in this category I just like showcasing a bunch of the ones that are in here just like in my other video where I did the FD stalker and grackle but I think all six of these are holding up pretty well that being said a little bit flatter for all of them leads me under the basket instead of having these 35 40 Footers oh this one is an interesting win for putting just for the record just for fun because mostly this way but a little tail so it's hard to read the tail or the cross man this wind is fun I really gotta be honest I love this course being closest to me here in Denver because it is always windy if I need to practice some windy putts on some bad baskets like practice making good putts in the wind or like practice thrown in the wind this is a great course for that it's so hard to get that right I'm not mad about that being basically a layup let's go ahead and take a look at the profiles of these real fast so here's what we're looking at between these three discs the strike honestly is kind of like your prototypical just like very T-bird s disc honestly this and the Athena feel very very similar if you've ever held an Athena it feels very similar to the strike this might be slightly deeper though this way let me get to the crave it's actually even a little bit thinner than the strike and the bevel right here is actually a little bit flattered the strike has a little bit more of a curve and it that makes it feel I think a little bit thinner but I think it's also just a little thinner this way The Exodus is interesting because it's kind of in between it's thicker but it also has that straight bevel right down there so it's not quite as curved as you can see the strike which is kind of more T-bird s because it's a little blunter here and then kind of swoops in don't know if that's why I think it flies a little further or I don't know I just really love the feeling of this disc whereas these two both feel relatively similar the Crave is just a little shallower than the Exodus this way and obviously this way because this is a seven this is a six and a half and I think that you can feel the difference a little bit this just feels like a smaller disc in your hand and even though I'm very much team baby hands this still feels a little bit smaller than what I might like this one which feels the biggest maybe because it's still a seven speed and a small this way but fills my hand this way I really like the feeling of this disc Exodus kind of in the middle a little bit slick on this plastic right here but overall still a really good disc all of them are just good seven speed Fairways though all right 3 30 looks like we're going straight there then to the left to that yellow rimmed basket same order okay push it a little deep maybe slightly more hyzer and trust that it'll stand up a bit I decided instead to throw anhyzer and softer not the worst solution honestly just not what I said I was going to do my body kind of took over from that one I really like that shot actually that just slipped right out of my hands a little deep and we finally got a birdie on the card birdie parbogey gross alrighty 337 it says to another looks like maybe a dispatcher Innova guy crave took the Box crave's a good disc man it's a lot of good molds out there nowadays gotta get a couple birdies with Exodus I think we're just gonna try to go straight at them because there is a headwind slight hyzer straight at it foreign oh yeah there's a headwind wow slightly nose up because I didn't really push through that but okay thanks for being the wind dummy freaking crave there we go more hyzer more left more Park job oh maybe not didn't quite get back definitely is not as flippy as I crave that crave I think is the flippiest one of the bunch why you throw it Sonos up dude why you throw it so bad not bad part time for The Exodus again not the end of the world finish it out and go find the Crave headwind again there we go oh there's a look not a good one but look it's loaded oh not bad all right pull 23 is our whole five it is 490 feet that was not Anheuser at all foreign but I mean basically those are all just let's throw it over 300 feet and then get up and down for Park please get left there no missed the upshot the other way yikes that's devastating not so bad I don't want to flake that again because that guy was a practice stroke for this strike but geez wow so bad so bad gonna be real it is not looking good for The Exodus this is 450 feet gonna have to basically give them full flights full flexes slightly downhill if I throw them well I might be able to get there but this tip added some divots and stuff in it which does not bode well strike has the Box nice and simple a little nose up a little bad but really not that bad really not that bad it's worse trying to think about why that's worse in my form but it's slightly worse stable me that was the worst one by far so I might have a putt from that strike but the Crave is nothing The Exodus I think is somewhere over there it has nothing I'm guessing but a little pitch up forehand here Nice Shot let's go I mean it's technically possible not probable do it oh that's pretty good all right so I guess there's kind of a putt but so bad Anthony oh that's so stupid why did I do that I could have just thrown it in no we're just what the heck was that putt had been relatively close stay up so lazy both are bad all right two more holes I need another birdie with the strike now because I'm stupid you just says 230 T signs say 272 straight ahead I feel like T signs a bit more accurate but we're just gonna use some depth perception won't even break out the rangefinder too much it's fine it's a putt yeah get a little skip oh it's not going to get left enough not bad too Flippy oh no not enough hyzer all right everything's inside the circle nothing is crazy good all right access we need an ace buddy all right we got 360 straight up the hill wind coming from the left to the right so we're gonna have to put some hyzer let it flip and do its thing basically with the Crave it doesn't matter we can like triple Boogie your double bogey be fine but we need par with strike doesn't matter with Exodus if we don't Ace so gotta go for that foreign put that on a little hyzer crave is definitely flippier not the best shot though it's Greek that's so bad too but that's okay get up and down for par be happy I'm like messing everything up right now Exodus all right I tried to throw it through that early I tried to throw through that too early hopefully we get one birdie or something this is not a gimme up and down great shot really good this doesn't matter well none of these matter really it's not nice go in ah get up get up oh good height unless I missed that strike The Exodus is going to my Patron and uh that's about it for today pretty poor showing honestly on this back a little bit okay it's not like a quadruple bogey whatever oh my gosh okay that's the one that mattered for here I'm gonna have to say like I don't think my opinion on these has changed much throughout today which is good that means I know my desks I actually just going to patreon Great disc I think not for me though the hand feels just a little bit different and I just prefer something like this strike I don't know why but I do uh strike one of my favorite molds ever honestly right now don't know what it is about it but I love it I think the glowing is coming out soon which I'm excited to review and then crave great disc definitely flippier than these two everything will be a little more flippy at sea level too but super solid if you're going to see my last seven speed comparison check that out right down here another patreon sponsor bag in your Bennett if you want to join the patreon
