Pretty new Disc golfer (started in April) found ya on FB, all I’ll stay tuned 😁 Similar to you I picked up the trail to fill a gap my terra, and my wrath, I was looking for some turn, more than the wrath…..and honestly my first double digit driver. Right out of the bag I bombed this in comparison to my heat. I hit 280-290 a few times with the heat, I tossed this about 315 on my first throw. Have since (in just a couple days) brought it up to 330. Just a wow factor for me. I’ve said all this to say, if you’re a beginner this might be what you’ve been searching for in a great feeling long first driver! Great review brother!!
Great video! Thanks for all of the tech specs and the statistics. Love the club stamp y'all put on the Texas Ranger. Although I don't have one, I have an affinity for the T.R. because one of my ancestors was an original Texas Ranger, protecting settlers from attacks.
I live in Gainesville right next to the Jonesville DG course. Really enjoy seeing how you approach holes that I actually play on. Really appreciate this video and your others. BTW, 400 ain’t too shabby!
It is my goal to get your disc out of the tree. No disc left behind. Thanks for the videos. I work a ton of overtime and don’t get to play nearly as much as I want to.
@@papajonn87 🤣 I'd love that Terra back! At the same time, I fully acknowledge it will never fly the same again 😭 I hope you're able to start playing disc golf just a bit more often in the future!
@StephenNiedzwiecki Haha, thank you! I will be the first person to tell you that my sidearm needs a lot of work! I only tried a couple of forehand shots and they were not worthy of informing the review 🫣 I imagine that it would be a super smooth sidearm disc though!

5:17 So you botched filming the botched drive? Great review. Informative and even lovingly nerdy but never repetitive or puffed up. Calmly paced and nicely edited.
Get a slingshot to save that Terra. My first throw with the Trail was ~420-425' but I have a fraction of your consistency. The 10/5/-1/1 flight numbers are spot on for me.
@babirb Good to know the flight numbers hold true with more power! I was curious how a little more heft would treat it 😂 I was literally thinking yesterday that I could use a slingshot to launch a golf ball and try to knock it down. I did hit it with a couple of sticks but it's wedged in there enough that it needs something a bit faster 😎
@@bhirdietime I got a SimpleShot Scout LT with 0.7mm bands and 1/2 inch clay shot. One set of bands I trimmed like a bunch of tutorial videos showed but I imagine that's for small game hunting because it put clay shot clean through a folded heavy duty cardboard box from a water heater and hit cinderblock behind it hard enough it sounded like a .22 pistol being fired. The other set of bands I didn't trim because I didn't want to put holes through discs and the cardboard caught every clay shot intact so I could shoot them again. I haven't shot a disc out of a tree yet though.
@v0yager40 Dang! I have hunted, but never with a slingshot 😆 I love the idea of getting discs down with it though! My Terra did get knocked down by a hurricane though so it's not there to practice on anymore 😅
I’m surprised that you weren’t hitting closer to your normal max drive distance with the trail. A couple other reviewers commented they were getting some great long flights. I currently use a g star wraith and a Grace but was hoping this could become my new control drive. I will definitely follow your reviews though because are arm speed and distance are similar.
Yeah, it's tough to say if I was missing out on a bit of that max distance due to a bit of fatigue, but at the same time, I also felt like I got a few great shots out of it without hitting any crazy distance! If you test it out for yourself, I do hope it works really well for you, I wouldn't be surprised if it went straight in your bag. I really appreciate you watching and commenting though, and I'll be dropping more reviews soon!
@billbittick I would have a hard time ever giving up my Wardens, but I used the Pixel during a Pixel vs Envy challenge with my buddy, and putted pretty well with it! I think it's a close 2nd to my comfortability with Wardens.
I also find most MVP "drivers" to be more stable than you would expect. Is this just an Inertia? I found that to be pretty stable even though it says 9/5/-2/2. I'm not seeing any turn and your arm speed and distance are farther than mine.
@patrickruszkowski9182 I've found that to be the case a few times...although I definitely get some turn out of the Inertia, for me, it's certainly more flippy than the Trail! But I agree that the Trail especially is more stable than the flight numbers 🤓

Personally, as I recover from ankle surgery, likely won’t throw anything over 7 speed until spring 2025…btw- you need an arborist beanbag and some string to get that disc back. Throw it over the branch and shake the branch with the string.

@@davisrowan7810 Innova is definitely solid! I've never really settled on a brand I feel is best, there's a few plastics that I really like, but otherwise, if it flies how I want, I bag it!
@bhirdietime of course. I have a few on order and I'm dying to throw them. I'm a "Top Ramen" arm, so who knows what it will do. I am currently using an Orbital, but I have no business throwing an 11 speed. Maybe this will work out better. The Orbital does work great for me though.
Congrats dude, you won the Texas Ranger! Since I can't send you a private message on RUclips, can we connect on another platform? Insta, TikTok, Facebook are convenient for me but I can make anything work. That way you can tell me privately where to send the disc!
Just wondering, i throw about 120m max now (just under 400ft but whenever i throw the trail on hyzer it usually flips over and when i throw it flat to slight hyzer it usually burns over completely. For me it's very understable from the start and flies more like a 10, 5, -2/-3, 1 How does this happen?
@danielbel7255 It's possible that your specific disc is just a bit more flippy than usual. Or maybe you have a lot more spin rate than me, but throw with a little less speed and it turns more quickly because of it. Or perhaps you throw with some wobble, which flips the disc quickly early in its flight? It's tough to say without knowing you, but I'd start by blaming the disc 🤣
@@bhirdietime not very consistent release angels tho have just been playing for 3 months, but when you hit the right angle it bombs got around 360 to 390 out of it flat
Excellent question! I personally think that Holland pulls off a great mixture of Peter Parker's academic prowess and social awkwardness, while still stepping into the heroic yet tragic role of Spiderman, with the accociated responsibility (and great power), without losing his faith in humanity. He was my pick for the role back when they were considering Asa Butterfield and other actors, and he is my favorite Spiderman. I think that Maguire was an excellent Peter Parker, although he didn't make a convincing high schooler for me. He made a good Peter Parker, torn between his college education, monetary struggles, strained relationships, and heroic responsibilities, and a solid Spiderman. I think he really paved the way for Hollands' future successful Spiderman movies, particularly with technological advancements allowing for more types of Spiderman experiences, like EDITH and the suit varieties. I think the Garfield was a bit too cool and attractive to be as convincing as a down on his luck, tragic Peter Parker, but he really did well as Spiderman. I enjoy how he leaned into the wisecracks and positive attitude of Spiderman no matter the circumstances. Overall, in my opinion, Tom Holland does the best job of portraying the totality of Peter Parker and Spiderman.
@@bhirdietime i think what gives Holland the big advantage is he has that boyish look and voice even though he is almost 30 now…. Let alone the fact that he actually plays the role excellently. I’m really looking forward to hopefully seeing him go against King Pin and how dare I ask, team up with Dare Devil? Also majorly looking forward to the next Into the Spiderverse movie, whenever they decide to release that. The first 2 were awesome.
He definitely does have that youthful appearance! I've loved the Spiderverse movies as well: I think we've been lucky with the majority of Spiderman movies having good stories writing, and solid casting. I would be very interested to see the Spiderman/Daredevil combo since they so briefly teased it!
