so it's been a little bit and I figured we' do a little bit of it in the bag cuz Portland open is starting tomorrow and I am super excited I actually feel really good about playing these courses but my bag has actually changed a decent bit and I wanted to share that with you guys before we get started I'm putting with my Tour series Signature Series whatever you want to call it from birdie disco Supply the UV glow Marvels uh these I really really like actually I've puted with these these were the first ones that got sent out to me and they dropped the Dome a little bit and so I really like them um and I'm putting significantly better just cuz of practice A lot of people are like go back to purs and I'm like I cannot tell you how much my putting is worse because of practice not because of the disc so uh I got a couple other ones in here that I've been putting a lot more with because the more I practice the more the the Dome drops a little bit and I get to the to the place that I like them more it's not puddle top but it's like the shoulder feels like it's over the top of the disc so maybe that's a little p top I don't know but I like how these are feeling over those but I also throw them for up shots which why it's not super ideal but I'll probably be throwing these around a little bit more not during like tournament rounds just because the more I threw these the lower the Dome dropped so we'll throw those those my putter pocket up here uh I just kind of keep my wallet whatever else and that's about it I like to keep a little phone tripod I'll leave this link down in the description if someone wants it it's really good for like looking at your form stuff but I actually just bought this one recently cuz I left another one in DDO I just leave something every time that I go and play these Pro Tour events I'm hoping I don't leave anything this weak but I really like this uh it's really nice for form stuff and then just for some reels uh if I'm not playing with anybody I can pull it out and it just kind of stays in the side of my bag my umbrella holder but I should probably use an umbrella this week but I don't have one so maybe I should buy one and replace this I'll probably actually be using a cart uh cuz I don't think I'll have a caddy I'm not sure I'm actually still debating that it's the day before might reach out to some people but I'll probably just film some stuff myself on the cart that I have cuz the cart's honestly so nice it's from Bag Boy I also have an affiliate link for that I realize a lot of you guys don't know I actually have a second Channel as well I call Banana froth just play on my name review an unboxing over there if you want to see my bad boy cart I also have an affiliate link for it I don't have any specific code for it but if you want to buy one and you don't have another code or if you do have a code you can still go through my link and support me um thank you to people who have done that they sent me the cart so I'm stoked on it whether I got The Fill thing or not it's great that I did but back card if you want don't if you don't on the side pockets here before we get to my main pocket disc i b a bunch of towels and a dirty birdie mini which I really like cuz it's metal second one as well and then one glove I don't know where my other glove went but I have a right glove so my throwing L will stay warm in the back here I like to keep water Gatorades whatever I actually did not drink nearly enough today but when you have like an electric golf cart that zips around the course this is the mini that I've had since I've literally first ever had minis you can see on the back here hopefully I can zoom in enough it says first mini September 2022 September 16th um I got M1 with that I think I've won my first Mo event with that it's that's just kind of the mini that I've been using I didn't think I'd be sentimental about a mini but I kind of turned out to be on this other back uh pocket I got a truck bag more towels of course and another truck bag B sh to Chum chalk um Sarah before I left hook me up with four or five of these that were custom so big shout out to Chum chalk for those I don't have an affiliate link or anything with them not sponsored by them but they sent me a bunch of these so I'm really stoked on that then I like to keep food headphones and then my competitors pass stuff so cat pass just in case I do want a caddy and a competitor pass for Portland hopefully I don't need these next year the year after cuz I get a tour card probably the year after not next year we'll see people are playing a little putting game cuz I'm on like the green there's a flex start going on over here which is who you'll see behind me play the course today that was gorgeous I hope you guys saw that video with Cal it was a lot of fun and this kind of top pocket I actually keep two discs I typically don't even like keeping disc up there but I got two and they're kind of my utilus on either end of the spectrum I don't know if I'll throw them at all it'll depend on the type of roller I think this one I might throw this is from um lucky Lorenson it's her tour series disc Maya whoops it's I think a Mamba X is the Inova mold equivalent so slightly more overstable Mamba but these Halo ones they're very thin feeling um I don't throw them at all I only will roll it but it wants to flip quickly which is actually really good for a couple holes like West Hole 2 I think I'll throw it on um there's a bunch of holes that this definitely would work for and it's very very utility so if I need something crazy crazy flippy this could come out and then the other side this is my conqueror I put a butt stamp on it you're going to see a lot of butt stamped ones and a bunch of custom stamped stuff kind of how I roll it's honestly a little bit cringe pulling all my custom stamp discs like on the tour cuz I'm like guys like you're also much better than me but I got all these stamps and it's like a little cringe but it's also cool because I know that like there are other people out there like you guys who buy them and support me with that and they're such good discs sometimes I want to wipe but I'm like wait but is my St I don't know I'm raming at this point but conquer so old in of a pd2 mold this is very very overstable um will come out of almost anything unless I really rip it on anheiser into a headwind and even then it still comes out of it if you like don't throw it into the ground so these are my utility discs they just kind of stay up here and then we'll go putter all the way through drivers I put my discs in left to right and facing the opposite way so I know some people think that's wrong and honestly The more I've thought about it you guys are probably right but it's a habit so I'm just doing it this way I have two Ms in the bag I like I said throw these sometimes for up shots I haven't been throwing them great this week I haven't been throwing up shots great this week so not super ideal but uh it's actually way better today which is a big win and my putt was saving me for some of those but we have this Envy which is a glow one it flies much more like a proxy it is a little bit understable I can throw it on Hiser and it'll flip up to flat and maybe past it but only if it's at a specific level of Hiser like this level of Hiser if I put it any more than that it will just hold the Hiser so it's a little bit tiny bit touchy um a little bit more than I want overall but I'm comfortable with this disc I know this disc I like this a lot and then that leads me into kind of the actual mvy MV which is a Proton mvy big shout out to Silva for sending this out he's a patron and I've had this for a while and I haven't it's just kind of been in the backups and it came out for this tournament I really love the proton Envy feels super good it's kind of like the eagle Envy but maybe even a little more overstable and not as cool of a stamp so I like throwing it a little bit more because that stamp is just so pretty and sometimes I don't want to throw it because I just kind of keep it on my shelf cuz I got it from Eagle so that's sick but this one is really nice I throw it for some up shots into head and then there's not a lot of putter holes for me to throw some mid-range holes not it's almost all drivers off the te but this one gets used for some overstable finishes and then even more overstable are two actually PMW swing stamped discs we have some glow zones cuz infinite just had a bunch of them in their back stock and I was like hey we did some glow zones for the first stamp from this series from Keith that he made for me um which is the Texas Swing now this one we'll have this one so we'll probably have it for the third and final disc in the series as well the stamp if you want to collect all the Glow Zone from that that'd be sick but I have this Glow Zone which just replaced the one that I had aced with you saw that video with Kevin then this is an A2 I just realized I have to write my name on this disc I have to write my name in all these discs just cuz legally you have to like pdj wise but this A2 I was not really thrown super super well because I was treating more like the zone and I need to remember that this is more of a utility disc a lot more anheiser not like you can't burn it over cuz it's still only a four-speed I think it's more a four and a half but I don't throw this too often but when I do it's for big flexes or big flares or lots of finish right or left it gets the job done and I this 500 Spectrum it's actually way less gummy than I thought it' be in the Heat and so I actually really like that cuz I got one from um Nate Turner that was a little bit gummier than this which is a really good disc but I prefer them a little stiffer and so I really like these we don't have a lot of this stamp just cuz I didn't ask him to stamp a lot cuz I there's already a lot on my site but since Keith made the stamp and a lot of you guys want to collect the stuff if you want to snag them it'll be linked down in the description if you want to check it out also keep everything in order from understable to overstable in every class of discs so puttting approach here next mid-range understable stable or kind of actually a little flippy um this is where I don't throw these too much and I probably will throw them even less because I don't have a super good relationship with all of them uh but that's cuz I'm learning a couple of them and coming down to this elevation I didn't really have the right like straight straight mid but uh it's close I have this Aura Mana from thought space Athletics we also put the p&w stamp on this honestly part of the reason is I lost my midnight prow 2 that I was loving and throwing all over the place I just think I left it somewhere or fall my bag I don't I honestly don't know how I last lost it at one of my home courses owl them hasn't come back to me and so that was right before I had to choose which this to put the stamp on and I know that they have a bunch of thought a bunch of thought space blanks at infinite's warehouse and I was like well let's try the Mana and see if I like it for my bag to be honest I don't know if it's going to stay in the bag long term it's a little thin definitely fits the job but I think I might put Origins back in but if you like the Mana there's like 25 of these that are stamped if you want one of them I just haven't taken the time to really learn this disc as well as I could I've thrown some really pretty shots with it I'll show you one from today up here that's going to be a real later this is solid but I don't know if it's going to stay in the bag forever so just being honest about that then I have two chariots this one it was given to me from the University of Northern Colorado's disc golf team when I went up and played with him it's a Jessica whis color glow Chariot it's kind of like more like an md1 than md3 which I think this is the old Ina md3 mold I put it in the bag today cuz I took out one of my banza stamped like kind of gummier metal flake ones which there's a lot of those on the site so I had them in the bag to see if I would want to throw it and I didn't really enjoy it too much cuz it's just a little extra gummy and so it's very straight really good disc and when it gets colder it's going to be perfect but it's just a little extra gummy this one's a little stiffer for me and I think it fits that same slot but there's not a lot of holes that I would throw it on so I don't even know if this is going to come with me just because I haven't thrown it here hey I lied I just remembered whole 10 or 11 it's like a 330t straight part three on the west course I am going to bring that Jessica whis charrot because it is probably the perfect GI for that hole the other one I like the shot shape and I think it's the same disc they just didn't like the feel as much so this is my butt Halo Chariot the Halo chariots came out for the lvc Las Vegas Challenge and um they had some at the warehouse when I came through and they are the beefiest Chariots I've ever thrown which I really like I can throw these things on anheiser they'll fight back to flat and fight out of it I had a I threw a really big turning anheiser shot that I'll try to also put in this video with this disc really high 340 ft and it turned on a lot of anheiser and came back to flat and then some so I really like how overstable this is very reliable I need to put more work in with it cuz both of these discs I just got in the last two weeks but I also changed elevation so I was like I'm going to have to learn stuff anyway so we're going to try to learn these and these will go back in the bag now moving on to the Fairway drivers which I have a decent bit of them but honestly not every slot that I thought that I would have at the beginning of the year let's start with overstable understable do the opposite side but we have a zlex captain Raptor this year's run from Paul uberry I really like this cap WP it's very overstable for forehand and backhand and by overstable I mean like not glidey like I I can burn it if I need to just cuz it's slower it's only a n speed like if I really throw it on a lot of anheiser kind of towards the ground like I can get it to stay that way but it really wants to fight out of it especially if you throw out how it wants to be thrown and so this is most overstable NP speed 10 speed that I have in the bag next up is actually surprising surprising L this Ducker stamped Firebird I put this in the bag for DDO because I had my old chattered van 1.0 the initial shattered van run Firebird that I loved that I put back in the bag it came out because I didn't want to lose it on some of the holes that I could have lost it at D and then I brought it out here and I was throwing it the last couple days for practice and unfortunately it just was a little too unstable it was a little more unpredictable it would Glide a little too much on the right to left it would it wouldn't come out of it as fast as I wanted to cuz it's definitely a step down from my CPR but it was almost a step down from my Romans I was like Jesus like I'm heer flipping this thing this is not how a fireb should fly and not how I want that to fly so I'm retiring that one for now it'll probably be phenomenal at elevation up in Colorado but this one is exactly what I wanted that one to be because it's basically the same exact run and disc but newer and so really like having this one in the bag super workable Firebird I can throw it on for hands and it'll pan for a while but always fight back and come out similar to the back hand and then pushing high that I don't want to finish hard but I want to just push push push is going to be this Halo Roman also from the PMW swing stamped it's between this and one of the drivers for what are my favorite discs in this stamp but this Halo Roman is actually 171 but it is very overstable for Roman it's not like a Firebird at all but it's something that I think for how much anheiser I can put on it and still have it fight out to back to flat or how much Hiser I can put it on and not have it flip I really like it because it's only a 171 so it feels very easy to throw feels like a easy kind of 390 to 410 disc for me uh and so if I need kind of that lower 400 range and I have a ceiling that I can work through I'm going to throw this because it flies like the the tight lines of mid-ranges but the distance of some of my drivers sometimes so I was throwing this a lot last week in Cascade I don't know about this week cuz there's a lot of driver holes beyond that is the other swing stamped the Texas Swing stamped metal flake Roman which I've had in the bag since the Texas Swing and so this thing has gotten a little bit understable on me which is really nice because it's a step up from the next disc which is the Spinx and so I I feel like I have everything covered in my kind of control driver slots from really overstable all the way down to like long turnovers and I can even roll this and I probably won't roll it unless it's specific type of wind cuz I have to throw it a little up and down cuz I I'm not great at getting a lot of anheiser and the last Fairway is the c pipeline I don't know how much I'll throw this to me it's like a longer mid-range honestly it's super straight like a little flip up it'll fade a little bit if you give it enough time to but yeah long long mid-range is essentially how I'm throwing this disc and these will get a lot of play this week but the most thrown discs will for sure be the distance boys which I don't actually have too too many of which I think it's good I have a couple discs up there that I was trying I was trying to put more disc in the bag this week and they just didn't have a need to be there so only five distance drivers besides the conquer and the Maya so I guess technically seven but we'll start with the roller disc this is an ey blend Pharaoh it is very understable it was more understable than I expected it to be I have some eye BL phoh this one's max weight I picked it up in the warehouse I was like man this feels do and flippy it's a different run than any of them that I've ever thrown before and it's the flippi disc that I've ever thrown out the box kind of funny cuz Cal who I was playing with today said that this felt like a dog toy cuz it really is just like ridiculously understable and I'm it's like straight roller for me out of the box it's honestly probably gotten flipper this week and is rolling faster but I'm able to throw it on a couple holes and feel confident about the rollers with it so yeah yeah kind of indispensable for me right now I really like rolling this one so that's in the bag the next most unstable is my halo Pharaoh this is actually really good for my forehand on hisers so I'm really liking throwing little flip up forehands I kind of my stock forehand Hiser releases right here and this will flip up to Flat it won't really turn past flat in a headwind it will a little bit but it always comes back because it's a 13 speed it's a little bit fast and so as it slows down more it really Fades harder and so this Halo Ferro I'm loving I really like this stamp on it and I act like the orange and teal I think is a really fun combo but it's 168 surprisingly it's a little bit lighter and so if I want to throw like a big heer flip turnover disc that will fight harder than the next this that we'll talk about this is the disc so it's actually not the next most understable well it kind of is it's it's a it's just a different type of understable than this next one what up Parker and that is my but I blend Emperor this guy is my bomber disc I throw this thing the farthest in my bag right now I believe um this is kind of close but it just Fades harder like this is a much more gentle Turnin fade but it turns for a long time a lot of later fade and so I'm throwing this on a good amount of holes out here um a lot of Heiser it'll just pop up the whole way and go straight and then finish or a little bit Hiser and it'll kind of turn over the whole time I can probably roll this if I want to I really haven't tried to um I really like the double cheeked up toad kind of thing right here so that's a lot of fun yeah this is kind of the farthest disc in my bag right now I really love these eyel ERS it's just something different in the DNA let's do that every single freaking round oh my gosh bro another disc that I turn fell in love with today during my East practice round is what I call the Nathan Emperor which is actually a Garrett girthy run Emperor uh es blend I believe I need more of these if anyone has them and they're in Portland and they want to give them sell them I don't care I would love to get some more of these um Cal also would like to get some more Cal enquist but I this thing is like perfect it's slot of Destroyer that I had last year that I have not found in Emperor yet cuz I haven't tried very many honestly but I can throw it hard and flat and it'll just stay flat it won't drift or turn too much but then it'll go very far and then finish I can throw it on some turnover and it'll hold it hold it hold it hold it fight out and come back I can throw it on Hiser and it'll kind of hold the higher and push and get a little skip I I get through really massive anti-is with it that just kind of fight it the whole time so it gets a lot of distance and then fad back to flat so this disc also forehand very good a little bit more of my overstable forehand just cuz I don't need to throw the more overstable disc on my little weakling forehand it's got a little bit of Glide so this disc phenomenal shout out Nathan for giving this to me after round two of the Cascade challenge I am forever in your deck and then the last disc in my bag is just a Halo emper just beef cake it is there weren't any more of these in the factory when I went there but the Halo buun Emperor is super overstable I can rip it really hard on some anheiser I can throw it flat and it'll finish I can throw it at a heer into a headwind it'll flip up a little bit and then get some finish I don't throw too too much but if I need something really reliable that I know is going to get left it's going to get less distance than most of these other ones just cuz I can't throw it as or I throw it as hard but I don't have the arm to really get the full flight out of this that some of the bigger arms on on tour do or the bigger arms in general braen sides also throws this I gave him sumon DDO if you guys saw that video but yeah that is my bag for this week and then maybe next week as well mil Lo which is for the beaver State fling is a very different course so it might not be 100% the same but I haven't done it in the bag since I think wakeo so I figured I'd do one now cuz a lot has changed and uh this is my update in the back so thank you so much for watching see you soon
