this craft just keeps sending me these frisbees they'd sent me three of them previously and now it looks like they came out with a couple more Plastics because they sent me the jawbreaker Zone OS the Potter line Zone OS and then the soft Zone OS that guy Rambles too much but this is the ESP swirl the regular Z and the test flight zone OS all three that Discraft has sent out to me a while back and I actually aced with the Z1 maybe Ace it with his own OS so in honor of that burn through all six of these until we can Ace with one we're at Johnny Roberts disc golf course and it is incredibly crowded it's like midday on a Wednesday what are people doing out here I'm gonna set a timer for an hour I'm guessing we have to make like a billion people play through and this is going to be the definitive answer for which zone OS is best so these are the rules I can't throw the same hole two times in a row but I can skip around just because there's so many people out on the course the first is to Ace is obviously the best in OS and if I can't Ace in an hour I'm confirmed a heck and a fraud I'm very interested to see how these new softer ones fly whoa that what the heck that was the part of my one I feel like it's marvelous than all those throughout this video as well I want to see if the new softer Plastics are better for the everyday person and I'll also share with you how to throw the Zone OS because I've seen a lot of people say that it's kind of unthrowable which is maybe mostly true but we'll see oh just over I do appreciate that they sent out mostly like pinks and purples you guys are the real ones for that oh another 240 foot are you kidding me oh gosh okay that was a job better jawbreaker go in the bucket oh my gosh it fades through it not even close that jawbreaker so far has been the best one for me I also imagine if I hit a tree hard with it it might just be like a super Street flyer who knows I know those tend to break in way faster that was one of the reasons why I didn't have a jawbreaker Zone in my bag because one tree with it when I first got one and it like warped it and you guys know how I feel about warp discs all right we're gonna try to stick to the sub 200 foot holes just to save my arm 180. let's get one this desk is so silly dude it's so silly Sonos they're all they're also nice Swing Swing oh my God all right this is the hole I feel it 203. short oh my gosh get it okay I can't go deep with it apparently soft oh my gosh no oh no it was not the one I was really hoping this was in the short it is not 273 feet we'll see if we can even get him there we'll just start with the base ones oh my gosh and if I'm like really struggling to get him there we won't even throw the premium better height not as much turn stay up stay up oh my gosh how am I not taking these lines are good I like my odds in the next one it's kind of a forehand chipper okay it is a good sign that all these are past the basket there's the basket 273 about 20 25 long so the red one have to have been so close the soft donuts we're getting there I was gonna film another video after this but already based on how much I'm throwing probably gonna be a pitch count day might need to change the strategy up I've been trying to go high kind of flex them in there I might try to start going a little more laser beam at it I might start throwing the premiums back to back to back and then the non-premiums so I can get a little more dialed with them jawbreaker so far surprising has been my favorite I think I just like the color combo honestly drop the tree drop this one too high off the tree oh my gosh I'm consistently throwing them like zones instead of Zone os's my angle's been here it needs to be here all right got it drop off the tree kiss kiss no I'm gonna pause the timer real fast at 43 minutes and talk about how to throw Zone OS because I've seen a lot of videos saying that this disc is unthrowable and definitely can be but even at lower arm speeds this can be throwable the key is the nose angle because it's such a blunt disc the edge here is so big you really need to make sure that the nose is down because even if it's slightly up so much air is going to get under it and push the nose even further up and if you're struggling with getting your nose down one of the things that I'm having to tell myself sometimes is to almost throw it at the ground so if you throw it at the ground not right in front of you maybe like 50 to 100 feet in front of you play around with let me throw it into the ground has a forehand on some anhyzer not on some hyzer because you've thrown on the ground on highs or you're screwed but on some anhyzer same with the backhand throw it almost into the ground and because it's so overstable the nose will stay down and it'll Flex out then you kind of have to figure out okay how do I get it a little bit higher to give it these Ace runs skip shots won't quite work as well because it won't skip High it'll just kind of skip straight to the left and right kind of like a tilt does but yeah let's get on the whole one hopefully grab our first days 45 minutes left got it get him get a little left oh that's so bad that soft zone is like kind of really overstable sorry that was the putter lineup soft one that's a soft one still too short man I feel like it's hard because there's so much lustrate movement and with the normal this kid you can throw it straight or like have it kind of like push on a hyzer or an anhyzer you'll have like a larger window that'll stay like a column of air straight at the basket these ones they swing so much left to right honestly at this point we'll be kind of happy if I get one but I'm still hoping for two or three 204 here this one is a forehand 37 minutes left it's so bad okay dialing it in still short transfer harder I'm really struggling to turn it over also this tree is like soft skip somehow the next 15 minutes I really focused on this side of the course because there were plenty of shorter holes hole number 15 well 17 well 14. I really thought since these were sub 200 foot holes I'm pretty much basic hyzer lines on both sides it'd be really simple to at least get my first metal hit throwing probably 40 or 50 more shots in these 15 minutes as time took down to the 20 minute Mark I started to think that I might not even be able to get it Ace if I spent the whole day there I had some pretty interesting realizations during this time about what the zonos is actually good for and as we got closer and closer to the 20 minute Mark I finally threw the perfect shot out of my hand glider now You're Now does not get down the same way that is a soft one so so far what I've learned about the Zone OS tracing not it for parking baskets pretty good it tends to even stay close when I like shank it for throwing your arm out also phenomenal we're crossing the bridge here we're gonna see if the key is spent the last 20 minutes on the other side of the bridge here oh no not that versatile though foreign got there that one kind of goes that putter line one kind of nice because the jawbreaker I feel a little Dent softer don't feel a little dense I think it started out the most stable and it's not still so super stable but a little glad here I'm not throwing this hole again that's for sure so I honestly do feel like ripping these into two groups of zones is better we'll start with all the softer Plastics the newer ones that this craft sent out to me I think surprisingly my favorite is the putter line Zone OS I really like color line zones I might put one of those back in my bag but I'm definitely not putting this in there because it is overstable like out of the box it might be more overstable than all of them but as it like I threw it for like 30 minutes it just got gladier and gladier but it didn't really get Warped I hit some trees not a crazy amount of trees we'll get to the other two in a second but kind of like the puddle lines on OS so literally landed right next to the t-pad it was just all ready to be on this hole because it's gonna Ace first time parked it oh that felt so weak oh man not gonna drop oh my God get a lift get a lift oh that was so far okay those three I feel like go like 40 feet farther than the premium ones I then I ripped that one to the right every time my second favorite out of these three which I think are probably like numbers like four and five and my favorites out of the six is the soft donut OS because I hit some trees and it got a little warped but less warped than the jawbreaker that's really the only reason and I missed through this less it was the Gladius out of all of them even before it got warped this thing definitely got some warpage as did the jawbreakers on OS this one got way more but I mean that's kind of what happens always with these diskraft jawbreaker and soft Plastics or most jawbreaker and soft Plastics which is one of the reasons why I don't really like anything softer than like a medium plastic this one's a little warped right there you can barely see so all three of the softer zone os's are a little bit glidier but similar stability out of these three it's really hard to say which is the most overstable it's like they pushed this one back so it's only 190. oh my gosh I missed that there were three shots that are like I was like guaranteed these are going in nope face to the basket we can pretend like I did this for science but look at that guy right there this is the first hole that I aced at this course last summer eight minutes and 10 seconds left oh we're gonna come back to this one we're gonna play the last two because I think this is the one all right 6 47. I think it's just so hard that like you have to catch it at just the right amount of turn and just the right distance it is so stop doing this yeah no no so bad Jawbreaker okay it's still stable even with that then 439 drop drop drop I'm pretty sure these are my last 12 throws in the hour man I should have found this rotation earlier hole 12 is going to be the hole too what am I going back in what am I doing way too much left way too much High like that like that oh probably wasn't but I feel like I was going no that's it oh that might be in the water drop drop drop no too straight last two shots of course that's the soft zone I'm no time zone this one already knows how to own the best game two of them are Anheuser no why did I do the industry both times last one no good height though hour well stop that timer now we start stopwatch and this is just gonna stay here at this basket because this is the basket I'm making it on for sure I think I found that because this one is a slight Dome the ESP Brody Tour series won it's a little bit gladier than the Z1 which will move a little bit more left right then the test flight which is a little puddle top but all of them are super ever stable and they have a lot of lateral movement for four speed meaning that it's very hard to Ace with them because you have to find the perfect sweet spot of it's not moving too far left to right and it's the right distance it's a lot harder I feel like the ace with something super overstable than something super understable start from zero see how much longer it takes and it's gonna decide which is the best Zone ox dude stop being so lazy yes finally that was the thing only my 20th shot five minutes and 11 seconds put all that in the same pulse it doesn't really count I gotta go ice my arm peace I mean that's not what I meant but it'll work okay
