we are racing against the clock today but it's level two of the three L Series I'm thinking we're actually going to be able to do the whole thing yesterday I didn't think we'd be able to get past level one cuz we played Adam's Hol disc golf course with just my infinite bag trying to figure out which disc we're going to be taking to Georgia with me because I'm going to be playing with some Pro Tour players that you guys know as well as doing a little bit of a training boot camp we're trying to weed out which infinite disc I want to keep bagging which ones I should revert to some of my old bag at least for now cuz I was putting pretty well with my end blood alpacas which I'm really liking right now we're going to keep it up with those I'm still throwing alpaca I had a tomb in the bag just didn't really like throwing it too much and so that's out for now also out I think is the mar Oliva Anubis for now these are all going to get another shot but this is just figuring out things for right this moment the gallion is kind of fun we're going to keep it in for now it's like the anti- Rolo this SE blend Dynasty is almost like a Halo Sphinx here and I like the feel of the Sphinx a little bit more and it's more like what I expect to fly like and so we're going to drop the SE Dynasty for now we're also going to drop the Halo Aztec it's kind of overlapping with my Roman a little bit it's it's a little flipper but don't think I need it we have aaya here which we're also going to drop we're going to put in an ey blend Pharaoh which I actually forgot to bring today but I'll try to remember for stage three but we have an es blend Dynasty which we're going to put up against the Halo es blend Dynasty so throw that in the bag as well we have two different chariots we have this eye blend here which is pretty stable it's very similar to my Inca we're going to keep in the bag for now and we're going to complement with one of these two which I think is a little bit flipper also I think get a new car Us in my wife's car every time that I drive her subar everyone always asked if I sold the van it's probably going to happen soon but not yet so you guys have seen the series before you know what's in the bag we're going to actually go ahead and just get started cuz we have about an hour we shot nine under at Adam's Hollow yesterday there's no like serious goal for this series yet but if I don't shoot better than six it is pretty windy I wouldn't feel too good no horm I'm not ideal oh I took the wrong glove throw the SE blend scep there we got right to left or left to right off the top try to throw the Hiser and maybe try to throw a putter up the middle we might not need to that's pretty good skip thanks guys you guys can feel free to throw while I'm walking down there first shots no warm up not necessarily ideal when it is 38° out hopefully we didn't leave ourselves too far of a putt oh my gosh ultimately the point of this four video series cuz I'm going to shoot an in the bag before I head to Georgia as well is to figure out like which infinite molds I am initially really loving so far the favorite by a landslide I think has been the Roman which really surprised me because I almost was trying to put a PD in my bag which is very similar if not the same exact disc last offseason I wasn't throwing nearly as far or maybe not nearly as controlled and I just didn't get along with it but for some reason right now I love this thing it's a backhand about 340 up the hill never actually range this one I just just I just call 340 cuz that's the T sign yeah 355 from where I'm standing so right at about 345 ft we do have a little right to left but I'm thinking we're going to try these three chariots which I'm not sure how much I like the bottom feels a lot like an md3 I've been told it's an old md3 mold by some DMS so I'm not quite sure if it's 100% true but it feels I'm not sure if I love it or not I threw the Pathfinders and I liked it but they didn't ever start out stable enough and these chariots are starting out more overstable than the Pathfinders like most overstable ones and there seems to be a lot of good runs of them so I'm going to go ahead and throw okay it's kind of a tail up the hill we're going to throw this metal flake one I threw it when I was filming with Joel Freeman and it flew pretty good man my hands are freezing catch some fade wow that is such a straight one that's really nice ey blend starts out I found very overstable it's infinite's own proprietary blend which I think feels like a mix between star and pro is what I've heard also online pretty poor shot oh maybe even a tiny bit flipp earier okay here's right on I'm going to try to slow down as I walk up here really make this butt Dam dang so this whole little three-part series a lot of molds I either didn't love or feel like I necessarily needed to go into this next season and some of them I did like my red Firebird that thing was my baby but I'm finding that a lot of these scepter kind of out of the box are very similar stability which is a little bit beat in some of the sceps like that Halo one surprised me cuz it was pretty overstable and I really like infinite is not going to take over my whole bag cuz if you look they don't really have a lot of Flippy mid-ranges or Putters and that is a slot that I do like is straighter to flip your Putter and then the ones they do have like this one like the cohort maybe but it's like a in between so it's a weirder slot I want a slower disc like two or three speed and the Packa is just a little deep for my hands to like really turn over well with my form right now I'm going to be fixing that I think I know exactly what's happening with it has to do with my elbow do I have like a backup beanie in here that'd be so sneaky please please please please no backup beanie I'm going need to make one we're also going to be playing all the prop pads today which is another reason why kind of six has become the number this next one's about to be 360 a little right to left so I think we might try to throw the Inca on it and compare that to The Chariot it's like on a touch of anheiser we do have a slight Tailwind again and it's kind of curving around this way oh it's getting beaten down keep gliding please I might have got up there in the circle this is that metal fake Chariot I just find myself gravitating towards it right now oh it stopped before the OB and it's inside the circle as well there we go nailed it I do think that I could see myself being if I do decide to play with chariots this year I could see myself being all chariots and no Inca and just finding a really overstable Chariot that's been one that infinite sent me out that I end up trading with Joel for some of the discs that I have today pretty overstable all right our basket is through the trees you can kind of see the band there probably going to end up throwing the Sphinx the wind is kind of pushing down the hill here so it might stable it out a bit I think we're going to go this metal flake glow one I think it's 450 to the basket from what I've heard potentially this could be a Road rer Road Runner bottom with a valkyrie top ah whoa sit down I threw it whoa that thing went I think I I Cruis past the basket by a good bit I put on a touch of Hiser just that's just what I'm used to throwing that thing with that's a really nice flight we'll throw this Halo one yeah that was the Halo one is nice I think that's why I took the dynasty out of the bag a little more of a stable a little more shanky then one more that I want to try is the Centurion cuz it's seven-speed so it won't have the late stability even though that's a pretty understable disc we're going to put this on a touch of turn I think that's the shot I skipped a little forward and hit something but I'm pretty sure that one's inside the circle when I first played this hole I was throwing drivers and then now I've been recently throwing my sine cd1 which I think is very very comparable to that metal flake Champion glow Sphinx which apparently someone just DM me some pictures that the glow on it is really nice I might have to play a glow around at Johnny Roberts with only the Sphinx and that sounds miserable so maybe not but that Centurion is really good I think like a neutral seven-speed and maybe even trying a flippy mid-range on this hole could work I think sphinxes are like legitimately going to make my bag and kick out those CD ones I do have a potential dis Mania replacement though that infinite doesn't make something comparable to that I might try to put in the bag it's going to go up against another disc that was my bag all season so I might have to reach out to dism about that one this one also kind of Juiced it a bit so we're going to give it a soft bid with a disc that I don't I think it's going to travel with me I don't think it's going to make the bag though I'm just not sure yet metal flake color GL it's like a Zone but instead of the bevel it's got a curve and I don't know if I think it's quite as comfortable I'm not sure I've just zone is just so good it's very hard to replicate or have something similar but if we throw this if we throw this in this will be in my bag for at least a month woo see it's like nice that run reminds me of a ESP Zone oh yeah we'll shut up and throw a little bit more here we are going to change one of these holes to a par 4 just so we can have a driver shot cuz this is the course that I'm glad it's level two cuz level one had some driver shots we able to weed out the Maya is one that we really didn't want I do think that the interval has a spot between my pharohs and my Emperor because it's almost to me like an 11 and 1/2 speed and it fits my hand much better than thear does which I think thear is really good I just think that the interval from Finish Line is one that is probably also going to make the actual tournament bag and probably this bag that I'm taking with me to Georgia but it just like holds a tighter line I found we do have a tail one here which makes me think that this is a ruin hole cuz I threw my ESP Zone way past this basket the other day but coming back to this course it's much more as you've seen I I can probably throw mid-range and Potter on almost all these holes it's kind of this is going to help me figure out like which Putters ad mids I feel like I'm missing from this lineup like it's kind of hard to not like that though you know Skip in how do you say no to that you don't you can't two down so this basket is up and to the right like right here by this big old tree I believe it's 400 to 410 we're playing in a little bit of a left to right now seems like the wind shifted a little bit it's kind of coming this way I threw my cd1 past it the other day so I I wonder if it's a car it that was a straight tail though the Centurion or Exodus I do want to get some more work with the Roman but the Roman I know is staying in the bag that 10 speed is phenomenal I love how that thing flies I think I want to try this Exodus these two kind of seem to complement like the strike and Athena that I had in my bag and this is like very doy and like a little bit deeper it's old Eagle El mode I think keep drifting ah it's coming out too early wow that came out and skipped that was really not it the room is definitely a little faster and has really good Glide and I thre that on a much better line like that's why I love that disc it just like goes where I want it so I either misplayed the wind or underestimated the stability of The Exodus which I think it's underestimating the stability well I think it's actually both we gave ourselves a really clean look here don't see the other disc but I think they're a little bit further down this way oh what a layup I think the mold is good it feels a little deep and I think it's probably just the plastic that one is very stiff but that disc I don't know if it has a long-term future in my bag Dynasty we just snagged okay wow this Roman just goes far in where I want it this is way down here dang so this hole is like a par 4 that is just between two holes I really prefer playing this than just the straight shot which is a fun shot for sure but just something about this one it is down the hill the basket is like straight in line 550 is with this Tailwind I think we're just going to flex this pharaoh and try to like give it height and start it on a touch anheiser and let the disc actually work its way right I think I just parked it I didn't park it it's like 40t short that was sick one last test between these two guys these dynasties just to see how they fly different we'll go ahead and throw them up the middle kind of flat and hard like trying to get there so like not a lot of turn great distance but not a lot of turn just kind of drifted a bit Yeah so that one I put more Hiser on and it flipped up esplen one is the one I think I'm going to be bagging for now that's a nice flight I think it also gives me some variety between my Roman if I wasn't bagging the Roman as well which I think goes a little farther is a little faster I definitely will be bagging that a Oakley and I'm going to bring it that might end up switching for what goes in the bag down at sea level cuz it might flip up a little bit more playing this home more I'm definitely going to have to start playing this Kaiser flip up the middle cuz that wide shot with the Pharaoh like it covered more than enough ground to get to the basket here's a dynasty which is maybe about 80 back of that Pharaoh or maybe 100 back of that Pharaoh here is the Espin Dynasty edge of circle too like 70 ft away from the Pharaoh so if I throw the FOH on a heer flip up that Gap I think I park it but as it stands we got a just outside circle look look you can't leave it low I'd rather take a part than leave this low take a par I might yep way harder than it need to be dang it man give me the freaking to all righty 300 ft straight ahead I think we're going to go Inca here we do have a touch at headwind so maybe stable up to a driver yeah we'll go scepter see if there's any difference between these two guys we'll start out with this Halo one yep good choice a little flip in the headwind very very similar though okay both are parked just on the opposite side of the basket so the only difference is if you throw one sep the other one of them will park it left side one of them will park it right side that's all I know might be some glow golf tonight all right we'll have to play through this big group but we're going to try this color glow SE blend Chariot oh this the first run run one sick I would throw the alpaca but I just have been Mis relasing it too much probably also because that one's de blend so it's a little bit on the Slicker side whoa that one's flippy okay I might need the in I might not need them in I FR to wow that one is nice CIP yeah that's the best shot ever thr on this hole I don't throw the backand but I know that the hillside kind of collects and funnels right and so that Chariot just kind of flipping up the whole way that one is so money oh dude in this series here that I'm heading down to Georgia for part of it's is going to be playing with some pros a bigger part of it is going to be training and that's going to include 500 putts a day which I desperately need especially at the straddle and with these new Putters so that's going to be so helpful I'm just so excited to have like a dedicated training week which is also going to be for filming I think we're going to go ruin here just beforehand I probably stood right in front of it which is ideal for me if I miss that tree by an inch I think I park it but I didn't miss the tree got to get up and down walking out of these holes par par oh yeah I mean that is oh sit down that is very similar to an ESP Zone I was thinking this Chariot again just up this middle I think that's going to be my play try to keep it on Hiser cuz there's a little headwind just need to throw through the Gap if you get through and you're pin High you got like a 25 footer I do that 60% of the time I throw the back on this hole I just throw it right into the freaking Hill this a pretty cool new position and now I actually have a little Annie putt at it good miss good Miss stable oh man not bad I need to I need to slow down me running it's going to say like 2 minutes total and it's going to make me throw three more Shanks that's too high of a Shanks per minute trade maybe like 300 ft up there I think it's going to be an Inca shot parked it I was like where the heck is my disc and it's like underneath it just on the opposite side that I thought so shout out ban Ina straight ahead you could take the forehand Gap to the left I'm think I'm going to take the backhand though tried the forehand last time bit me in the butt backand gets you closer even if you miss hard to find anything wrong with that ruin man but it is absolutely making the trip with me and it's got the starting roll in the bag the zones are freaking bench players right now I'm going to have to really rip on it and see at sea level versus here cuz maybe it doesn't go as far maybe it's got weird stability maybe it rolls on a headwind and Heiser but I mean it didn't there but it was super short I got fig out the reason to not bag it over the zones frankly right now all right up the hill slightly to the right 213 ft it's now exploring ruin time cuz I don't throw I mean I don't throw Zone on this hole I throw like a little backand putter seems to be doing everything I want it to do I mean it's good over stability I threw it way inside and there's a left right ring coming up that hill that I didn't feel dude I like these alpacas no ruin oh I just missed it a little bit inside should thrown a little more left Oh I thought I made it all right I actually just glanced at this position typically it's in those trees to left like a bowl this one is further down the hill almost where you kind of want to just Glide an anheiser to like flat the whole way just inside of those trees pardon me though I think it might be a ruin it's a little Tailwind that's perfect you guys ripped through those holes holy cow flash through flash through me which uh do you know which position it's in do you is the one behind the tree yeah by the uh second light to left like the far the far position then yeah oh this is not going to be able to be seen black disc all right not bad attitude oh we love it hey guys in the camera it looks good thanks guys pretty good shot with thr Rowan I didn't think I got all of it but that thing just got Glide for days I'm 20 ft away loving that disc right now if we make this then we're 9 and N in the last two videos that means that the layout that I'm playing hopefully tomorrow if I decide to in the disgusting weather I mean this bag is starting to feel I mean you can tell by the disc that I've been throwing some that I haven't but also like seven speeds tend to be more sea Lev discs for me or like tree discs for me because they have different shapes like distance-wise like they don't quite go as far and then they finish versus a nine-speed I'd just rather throw a n speed on Hiser for the most part unless it's like I really want to soft finishing iser so it's going to be interesting let's make this putt get to nine down and uh and on a good note oh this is this is better than I thought it was this was phenomenal subscribe they printed a they made a lot of these and not a lot of people are kind of put onto this disc but this thing is my favorite infinite disc right now not going to lie let's do a quick what's out of the bag for now and then tomorrow we might mess around a little bit more there's a couple more discs I'm not sure if I'll need the Inca has definitely been growing on me which obviously practice is going to do that and wanting to like it because it's got my stamp on it is going to want to do that now again just like yesterday this doesn't mean that these discs are out of the bag or like that they're never going to get back in this is basically just I'm taking to Georgia with me my first like trip as a sponsor disc golfer I think what's going to stay color glow Chariot and then this eye blend Chariot which I think is very similar to the Inca so there might be some overlap there this metal flick one is kind of in between these two and I don't need three chariots in Inca so we're just going to take these two Centurion and exodus are going to stay Exodus kind of on the chopping block I think I just need a different plastic I'm going to keep both of the Sphinx and this dynasty Eric oakle it's out of the bag for now sorry Eric you're probably going to come back in the bag very easily cuz I want you to fly like my blend and so when I beat this in a little bit cuz I'm going to have both of them in the bag I'm sure for like practice bags and like throwing cuz this disc is just way too pretty to not have in the bag frankly but the team stamp one did have that little bit of extra turn and flip and it was a little bit different than this uh than this Roman so Roman for sure stay in the bag the Halo scepter over the C blend but both of them are coming with me and then all the drivers are staying the same ruin is staying the same I thought I was going to trade it for the Rays not I love the ruin right now it's like a really good slightly more of a stable ESP zone out of the box and then this is in the bag for now there's GNA be a couple other things that we try to cycle in and put in and think through and then we're going to play the hardest layout that I think I can try to come up with go ahead and watch yesterday's video level one right over here level two very much a success level one semis success level two we are getting things dialed tomorrow level three is going to be phenomenal and then we fly out to Georgia train and play I know I'm not ready for the season right now but I feel pretty good about my game and like where I think it's going to be and these this are doing the job oh we're back we're back to a lot of daily videos in a row baby it's happening
