today we're going to be answering the age-old question do Chinese discs suck shout out Caleb we're going to be playing a tags match with just a Yun bag he can't throw them cuz he's MVP but he was looking through them and his first thought were they look better than you thought and I agree the only interesting thing is I have only one mid-range which is just like a Zone style disc I'm not very good at tones and Mandarin so probably we're just going to call the tianu which probably very wrong 4303 four discs that are Bas or PL we're going to throw these so that we know how they all fly and then we're going to do a little bit of birdier die style which any disc that I don't birdie with today during the tags match I'm going to have to give them away by the end of it the fushi 12612 and I have one of these as well in a premium plastic the Shi which is a very flippy looking 9speed which I also have in a premium plastic and then two of the new W 86 1.50 so a lot of Flippy stuff no mids no putter so we'll be putting with my own Putter and I know that they make a lot more diss in this this is just what infinite sent me cuz uh you can snag them there if you want hopefully we find some gems today cuz you just kind of never know what you're going to get thanks I just got I got this new bag oh sick I'm so stoked for it that's a good Zone style disc this plastic honestly looks like Pro fractal style 86 1.50 please be somewhat stable that's not bad glaze X is this plastic we're about to glaze it up today I hope this is more stable than that just was because it's the same disc oh it's almost flipper that's a nice flight though that'll be useful cuzz when you throw it slower it's going to be able to be a little more chill they're really flippy Guys these do feel pretty Flippy and these got some Dome to them this is glaz X plastic and inner colar plastic oh late flip man all these greatest are going to be so nice against the sky today I do like the underneath here there's a lot of info on the bottoms which reminds me of a couple different companies but like no one in particular I hope this is flipper than that one cuz that one was kind of too straight for a Nega 3.5.5 oh yeah it seems like the premiums are more understable than the Bas plastic ones which is good for one round I'm sure in like two rounds this will be way more beat okay that one had some flip to it I'm hoping I can turn this one over and have it come out or just don't turn it over okay not going to Li 80% of those this seem like they have the same flight so hopefully uh we can score well with them and birdie with them all so we're at harlo plat tags today which is Tuesdays run by Cass over there who there always like special layouts cuz this is a fun little course you got two baskets on every hole but they make it actually like a pretty difficult layout every time that I've been here so not too mad about having drivers even though we're out of local tags and what's fun is this is the last tags of the year because July 4th is the start of tags for Boulder tags so uh if you guys do want to come out on Tuesdays I think 4:30 they have it here and it's like one of the courses in number that you actually get grass so come play one we're going to the practice basket already so much more interesting think we're going to try out the Z here first I hope it's not too flip we're going to throw the base plastic one cuz that one's not as flippy I don't think that looks far how the fruit guy wow go China here's another reason to come out to this place cuz you always have this as your backdrop view so gorgeous out there I might need to just come here film some stuff and then just like chill by the lake and read sometimes maybe get on my fishing pole again top of the bag is going to be the birdie discs that are safe we can obviously still throw them again we got 17 more holes and only six more to get safe so let's find some more birdies what the heck C just makes things up as we play this one we have to play to the science class actually are we playing a par 17 the other side of the course uh the only out of bounds on this is parking lot I pulled it no well I'm short I'm like over the parking lot but in front of the fence I'm in like a little area between them so I'm sure it's OB be we have we're going right there let's try to get up and down with the four with uh the approach disc the tan Shu this wind is tough man I pulled that a little too much easy up and down should be fine probably should have tried a big Flex forehand keep it safe and still go for it but long the top birdie wind here is going to be a little tricky wish we could have got the bird with this guy but make this put get back to even or plenty of holes left keep it safe don't go for Glory when your second time ever throwing a disc just kidding I'm a YouTuber you know you got to do dumb things playing the for red wait down there it's like 500 something straight head left to right question is which of these to throw I think this has enough beef to really rip it over and let the wind take it one as a three as well yeah yep heck yeah oh it does not what the heck that's so flippy got voice over that where'd it go it's like it's still yeah it come around the hill oh no it rolled away it rolled past the basket and back down left that's all right third throw with it slippier than I expected I wonder if that's from hitting the stuff cuz it was pretty stable last throw what the heck okay I guess we're good at rollers now up here I knew it was head left to right but I I don't know the last time I threw it I threw it flat and high and it only wanted to really go left but the wind pushed it this time I turned it maybe I turned it too much but I do wonder if that got flipp earier because it hit the the curb I've not had a disc get that drastically different but we're going to go back to like rule number one of my video that I posted a couple days ago it's not the disc it's me I'm going to assume I rolled that and keep throwing it like I think until it proves to me that it's a really flippy disc I'll keep trusting it but if we can just make this like 100 footer I don't have to throw it again that might be nice we're going to this basket we got a double Mando don't know if I have a stable enough Fairway I would think this little a the new uh is on a forehand but there's a lot of headwind I think we're going to just force over the Chan sh and get that birdie oh no come out no don't come out what are you talking about need that to hold this stable good disc still after s look I like this disc it's kind of like a slow overstable base Zone if you can understand all those together oh man there a little too much disc but we don't have any mids so we go the premium one of these feels a little just like wide diameter for a fairway oh it's so flippy oh my gosh okay trust the flipping dude yikes goodness I'm giving myself like 100 foot open putts on all these holes so clutch I'm doing something at the end of my putts I'm bringing them out instead of up oh my gosh that thing is such a like Bas feeling plastic like not only is it Bas but like it feels like it's base and so I don't trust it but it is Beefy man beefy and slow got to give it much more angle than that and I just have not committed to it at all we got to convert sometime from Circle to all we're going to leave ourselves as 45 Footers Oh I thought I finally got one you might be leaning a little buddy no I just need to put it like half an inch higher good news Caleb just told me we got a par four which means if we finally birdie here we can take two this off the table one really good drive decent approach and then put a putt inside the chains since I got four I think we're going to throw this guy just to try to get a nice little 400t shot out there and then uh we'll see all right right this is pretty sweet okay I do wish I could throw the big Hiser but we got to kind of punch straight through here this is a little techy shot I think we'll probably throw this eight-speed and just punch it through this Gap a little Hiser nice and smooth these do feel like really wide diameter they feel like mid-range diameter for being Fairway drivers thank you I almost put it in the safe Zone still got to make a putt two more saved and we got another par 4 coming up thank goodness we're about to head all the way up to the practice basket again but this time from Whole eight pad which normally eight long is back there about 450 so it looks like it's going to be 900 something part 4 Yun is interesting to me because you don't hear a lot of people talking about her throwing them I think I have I have like their twin swords or something where it's like over molded I might have to make a video with that against some MVP discs maybe time lapse versus that I think I have like a watermelon version of it but I don't really know a lot about like who owns them who manufactures them you know they're a Chinese company which I don't inherently think is bad at all I just know putting that in the title is going to inflame some people I've not been hating them they just all been a little Flippy and sometimes you need some overstable ones and I'm sure they have them I just don't have them with me it's not actually as crazy as I thought I think it's only about 800 ft all right we got a little tail right to left we're going to try to keep this High doesn't case it's super flippy but I think I just threw it bad the first time so we're just just going to trust it again mostly flat oh no four jeez I really think that thing got really flippy off that one tree kick yeah off the one the concrete that's crazy at this point I don't even know if I want this disc anymore it's so flippy now it's like a32 disc yikes I just can't think that it hit I mean you do see some scuff marks underneath it it would just be so crazy if that changed the stability that much I have to believe I I like misread the disc that's the only thing that makes sense to me 431 up the hill we're going to throw this again except this time we're going to higher flip it up there it's like a right to left again tail right to left like how did it flip that much we're going to trust it one more time like that's crazy to me that was so much heer ha yeah yeah okay that was so weird it flipped so fast and then it just didn't keep flipping it was a bad throw that disc is an enigma to me right now the bad news is if I don't birdie with this disc all these people have seen me throw it so they're not even going to want it all right we're going with the T Shu this is a nice shorty we got this one we're putting we've saved the T got a little whole nine water brakes let's talk through some of these this so far I am surprised that we haven't bured yet with either of the drivers I'm going to have to get a second opinion from Caleb to see if I'm just going a little bit crazy am I going insane that this disc is flipper now than when I first started I mean do you you watch we throw it a couple times slippier is the first time you threw this on a on a head wind straight headwind and it barely flipped over yeah I'm a little I'm just confused three more to birdie with we're now keeping these in the top and the bottom is safe I've been enjoying throwing these they're a lot of fun they do just feel a little wider it is a little bit interesting you can see it when I look at it I don't know how much it comes across camera but I can definitely see that they're a little wider diameter than a general Fairway driver all right whole 10 going to one yellow triple mandate please don't burn over on me we're just going to keep it on nice little Hiser oh let's go the one good thing about these being wider diameter is you have a little bit more space when you flip it let's go even if I don't like you that much right now maybe you can redeem yourself your Artistry is really cool your flippy right now not so much which to throw how far are we oh 404 pretty pumpy let throw in this gu not that easy a shot here cuz you got to throw basically straight Hiser yeah good height keep line playce see the base ones feel the same size as normal this though which is odd that was a little low but the fall through made up for it only one more disc that I need to birdie with I don't need to do it now cuz I still obviously want to win oops the wind just tooked that out of my hands but this is honestly I feel like one of the best discs based on my first throws so not mad that it's the last one I have to bre with too low jeez those down down a hill into a head when we'll get smacked down I didn't quite remember that so bad oh my gosh all right I'm pretty sure I'm two back now I think we got six to play so get them all maybe whoa that was weird that did so much of this oh my gosh what am I doing with these pots right now go yeah sit down um chill cash in I'm due for a circle two putt still doe for a circle two putt I am so very confused all right come on finally putting so good I only got three more chances to pretty with this thing I think I have zero more chances to win some are better than others and I'll give you my 1 through seven breakdown at the end having a harder time getting used to these than other discs what the heck I'm really bad right now very smooth straight flight though finally jeez I felt like five other of my putts have been like that and I've just misread the wind so bad two holes to go we can choose whatever we want all right I don't hate these dis much anymore now that I'm not sucking crazy how that big bomb time we're going to 8 yellow way down there it's like 4:50 I think we're going to give this one last shot the driver this time we're going to intentionally throw out high and trust that it turns and if this thing doesn't turn I might throw it onto the mountain let's go when you just trust that that's a crazy silly stupid flippy guy when it's not supposed to be it's good I feel like this round is the quintessential it's see it's not the disc obviously there are some discs that you're just going to get along with straight out the box those are the discs that you want to throw because you kind of start from like a relationship level that's like here rather than like these they started down here I wasn't liking them now they're getting closer but a disc I low out the box it's going to start with me wanting to throw it more and therefore probably throwing it better but I mean you figure it out you make the adjustments and they start to be better discs so well they're not getting better this you're getting better with them because it's stupid to say but I mean throwing disc is like you have to build a relation ship with the disc let's go baby that is money I know that's the best dve I've ever had in this hole and it's with this silly little guy might as well call Fushigi cuz it's magic oh gosh that's the worst joke I've might ever told ever keep flipping in sit no oh I should have thrown a forehand nice dude way to do a little weird like one of those for no reason all right ended up TI for second five off the lead my favorite disc out of these I think it has to be the approach disc the tanu I want to try more what I these really everyone I had them feel them and throw them a little bit and there's something a little bit weird about them uh I would definitely not say that they suck and if they're like super cheap maybe people would want them to get into the game but this one's my favorite right now for sure very overstable pretty slow second favorite this one uh I only really the one time the she in their inner color plastic also they spelled color wrong just kidding you're Europeans I know it's not long but uh inner color this was really like a kind of straight flip but Fairway kind of reminded me of my Sphinx but like worse go buy Spinx instead or get that too you know buy them both compare them you know let me know your thoughts third I think it's going to be this one uh little flip up I don't know why but this inner color it feels more like normal disc cuz it's that it's it's the same thing that I've said before where it's like I have a Marvel and I feel a Marvel and then I feel the premium Marvel and it just feels bigger normally that doesn't happen with drivers but these feel normal size and these feel a little bigger my fourth favorite I I think it's going to be the really flippy guy actually very consistent I'm going to put all three of these tied for they're fine nothing special so I do think um like the nomenclature because it is Mandarin and it is a like very different language like I I was a big proponent of like calling discs like the kotuku from RPM discs not calling it The White Heron But continuing to call it the kotuku it's more difficult with these because it we have a different language system like there these are tones like when you look at the the things above the letter right here where it says she I don't remember which tones they are but I think that if they were to have slightly different names because it's such a different naming system it's not like we have all the sounds like kotuku we have all those sounds like we Paka Waka we have all those sounds so if it's a language where we normally use all the same sounds keep the name of whatever language it's in and that's really cool these are a little bit harder cuz I don't I I didn't even want to pronounce them or try to pronounce them cuz I would embarrass myself because I'm not good at tones so that being said had a lot of fun with these today and uh had a lot of fun playing these tags if you guys are in this area come out to these tags sometimes uh you can join the boulder disc golf club Facebook group it's always one of my most favorite ones to come play cuz cash runs it is really solid let's make this buckets Diamond close bye
