Video Transcript

hi this is Eric Rainey I want to thank GK productions Blaine and Bobby for inviting me out to doing in the bag really appreciate it again Eric Rainey I've been with latitude 64 since 2014 and I'd like to do it in two bag-lady and kind of let you know when I've been frozen you can see I carry these I usually cart that's a recent addition I always carry it but later rounds one day nothing against color so Burt let's get started I want to start with my driver's I'm gonna start with and actually to be honest I've had to certain a long time so this used to be incredibly beefy but now at high speeds not quite as BP because of all the time very often things like that so if I need something super beat 30 mile an hour headwind I've got to make sure that it occurs now I found that enforcers are also defender some of these sparkles defenders are also stepping up decreasing instability but still what I would consider stable to over stable I use another enforcer but this one is broken so again it has late fade but I get good distance out of it and I can depend on it also even in a 10 15 20 similarly for again distance this is a broken defender with a nice Oklahoma stamp on it but this is also broken to be honest this is about a 166 167 so again I'm a little older I like a little bit lighter and you can get a little more distance at decreasing instability and what I think are two of the most important disc I have her just I'll just say an important disc is is the st. prayer this is a dish that I think is one of the most versatile fish out there I'd equated similar to a t-bird or in a burrow or perhaps a stalker for this craft but these are actually Johnny McCrae signed in st. Rose but any Saint bro I particularly like the the white star plastic I think we call it the turn of gold plastic for a latitude very versatile to a smaller rim so that you can get your hands around I can have smaller hands but you can work it all kinds of different ways and I'll tell you it's only like an 8 or a 9 speed it is as far if not farther than somebody's 1314 don't get caught up by speed thinking that's gonna be farther a lot of times it's a matter of stability so but find it you find it this would good glide you're gonna find a disc that goes long and if you can find a disc that's stable and good glide you've got a good one so but then again you in some cases you may need an understable so it depends on the situation but st. pro very versatile this last of my stable disc is a felon I recently put this in for four hands you know when you see Ricky Wysocki throwing up for those four hands and he parks it near the basket I figure I'd better give it a try and I should have been pretty pleased with it again this is broken in overtime and and goes straight at high speed but low speed dependable thing so again a very versatile is aa leaning towards more the under stable stable I go with blows I got two flows this is the more on your stable I use it for her downwind this would be my staple this is a new flow I put in because I left lost my other flow in the water sorry recently but a good substitute again downwind across wind great glide and fall perhaps perhaps the longest this thing and it's only eleven speed it's not thirty or forty lastly understable and I I would use this for a hyzer flip if necessary but typically just for a roller it's a hatchet very understable if you throw it out of your hand with any sort of velocity turns over all right switch it to the to the mid ranges moving right along I I carry two maces these are as close be now old school these are as close to DX rocks as I can find and Iraq is a very versatile disc so I love these these are zero hard actually their date Felber signed maces very versatile again if I need a long Turner or a medium turnover very versatile disc actually and to be honest because I practiced in the backyard with the dogs great little forehand rollers to get yourself out of trouble I mean these things will go 150 feet very very little discs if I want to beef up a little bit similar this similar rim is the anchor again very rock like rock three like pretty straight can get it out there 250 300 maybe three and a quarter if you're really push it but I've try not to push it again very similar I finally put a truth in the bag it goes in and out of the bag it's a great disc this is an eMac truth the problem is me not the disc I just find them not quite as dependable sometimes completing the win but again that's my decision but it's again it's a great disc you can get a good 300 foot shot to 53 I need something a little more stable on the mid-range I go with a verdict very similar to a truth but I would just say a beefed up instability although I'll be honest this we're getting broke in a little bit - I need to swap that out for something a little more stable alright so and then let's go to the putters I carry four putters two of which are driver putters I use the slammer when it's really windy out the giggler loves us this key carries three of them very versatile at this but for me when it's windy out I love them because they're very over stable they fly like aircraft carriers for my driver putter I use the hearts eNOS I've got this broken where when I throw it as hard as I can it goes as straight as an arrow and that's exactly how I like it when you initially get them they tend to be over stable and a lot of people don't like them because they're kind of being cumbersome but I'm telling you break it in it's a great driver disc and then as far as putters I'll stick with the seat is because this used to be an approach shot the seat is over stable kept getting broken in started usually don't want to start getting windy because it was a stable and it stayed straight ultimately it became my go-to putter and it still is my go-to putter however I have but the mercy in the bag because that tend to be a slightly more under stable than my seen us so if I find out that I either and stuff out a little bit more and I need to if I need a little turn some over or something a little straighter over 50 feet so that concludes all the discs in my bag I hope you enjoyed that thanks again have a great day
