I liked Simon before this video, but after his open and honest commentary, I love him as a player. He has such a good attitude win or lose and is very encouraging to other players.
Watched this live - and enjoyed it all over again! Thanks to Paul and Simon for the great commentary. I'll always root for the old guy though - and it was brilliant to see Dave hold on for 8th overall.
This is one of the BEST videos posted on RUclips! Thank you guys for posting names during each shot along with the score between each hole. The commentary brings it all together for a great show. Love it!
This coverage is absolutely fantastic. No other way to describe it. Great video and commentary. You are really raising the bar and this disc golf fan appreciates it very much. Thank you.
Great footage, well edited and with great commentary, what's not to love. :-) It's fun to do a little time traveling and watch these guys a few years back.
damn guys, I love the productions you're putting on for these tournaments. I can't stop watching them. Great work! You guys are helping bring the sport into the eyes of the public even more.
McBeth didn't slam the door on 16 and 17 like he usually does. Really surprised he missed those birdie putts. Good to see someone else clutch out a big one. Big Jerm came up big. Great commentary by Paul and Simon.
awesome tournament. you guys played great. I enjoyed the tournament all the way to the end when Paul dhook the victors hand. I love good sportsmanship. Great game simon.
Great coverage and synergy overall. The introspective part from Paul and Simon, followed by powerful performances, was the cherry on the top. Very enjoyable content. My critique is overlappingly three-, or more fold: More coverage and more rounds from the top players would be great. A whole tournament following the lead card, or even more cards / more last rounds to add. I don't know what is the stopping force from doing that? I can't see a strategical advantage with the performances, because it is the same pro's pushing their limits (maybe even more) and the runner-up card ought to be very near or even equal to that par, and volume in content is a major factor in social media efficiency. If it is the available resources (time & personnel), you seem to still be luckily quite far from reaching the tipping point towards diminishing returns when it comes to output. I mean, the quality in SpinTV content is top notch, continuously raising the bar (love it), but there are noticeable delays in content frequency, and I get the sense there is a lot of footage left out simply because it does not meet those high standards and hours of reviewing in post. Additionally that, or additional footage could be used to pace the coverage to reach even better content, as well as more of it. Disc Golf is such a young sport when it comes to making videos of it and the commentators often seem to be left with their mind full of sentences and the time running out before and after... The standards actually haven't yet been set on stone, on how to exhibit and pace everything in the superb sport of disc golf, so there is a lot of room to push the envelope on many many aspects. Especially with the pacing. No one is saying it should be just the same as with ball golf, with the walk-ups and soft voices, but I don't think it should only be a rawly efficient documentation of performances (á la McFly), where the viewer has barely any subjective ties to the player, context, situation, or the quintessential story that bring the bulk of the value. Messi's free kick goal at the 89'th minute to take his team into the lead is not at all as valuable viewing content without the pressure building through images. Tiger's long putt wouldn't be the same without inspecting the green. Nadal's tie-breaking serve is just one like the many before, if no one goes silent. Durant's decisive 3 point throw against the buzzer or Datsuyk's mezmerizing shorthanded goal aren't all they actually are without the pretext and build-up... It's all about the pacing and the available investment conveyed for the viewers, and you have the creative control of both, especially when not showing live footage. Pacing, especially. It has not yet been set on stone for disc golf. Enough time for the commentators to share their thoughts. Enough time for viewing discgolfers to immerse themselves into the situations these pro's are in, as well as chances to live through those moments and even learn from them.
SpinTV is just one guy; Jamie. So more coverage isn't really an option. Jamie was playing this tournament in Ams, he wasn't available to film before Ams concluded. So the coverage is constrained based on his personal availability to travel and film tournaments. Other youtube channels are able to do more coverage, Marty McGhee, (formerly McFlySoHigh, now with Prodigy) does a lot more coverage.
anyone ever hear of an innova twisted flyer? some guy gave it to me like a year back and it's my favorite disc, but i googled it and didn't find anything except for a twisted flyer pro tournament video that was actually at a course right by my house.
+Chase Payne hey baby! My comments on the other video are still there. For some reason my compensation was only $25 this week so that's frustrating. And I'm more broke than I thought. Also I was trying to be chill but that dog next to me is a 10 week old Australian shepherd. Aaaahhh.
+Brooke Sherlin yeah I had thought that Maria's and Kelley's wouldn't be in the same week. :(:( I hope you get to sit by the puppy on the plane!miss you so much.
Lol @14:40. I've watched several videos now where Feldberg complains about the gallery being too loud and also his competitors not calling foot fouls when he screws up. I have the feeling he enjoys complaining.
The guys were a little tired (we recorded that night). I fully intended to not say much at all. Given a little time and some sleep between the round and the commentary and I think we'll have a good formula for next time ;)
Yes I didn't configure the pickup angles/settings properly for a 3-man team. That one is on me due to tiny window of time to get the recording in. This is definitely something I want to improve upon for the future. Apologies and we'll do better next time!
awesome tournament. you guys played great. I enjoyed the tournament all the way to the end when Paul shook the victors hand. I love good sportsmanship. Great game simon.
I liked Simon before this video, but after his open and honest commentary, I love him as a player. He has such a good attitude win or lose and is very encouraging to other players.
I agree whole-heartedly with this post and have always been inspired by Paul McBeth too! His practice videos have upped my game 10-fold!
McBeth at 9:36 explaining why he did the same as Simon: "I do what Simon says"... haha clever Paul
Loved hearing Paul and Simon commentate, really gives a good idea of what goes through the top players' minds.
I agree. I am always interested in hearing the perspective of the player in these intense rounds!
Watched this live - and enjoyed it all over again! Thanks to Paul and Simon for the great commentary. I'll always root for the old guy though - and it was brilliant to see Dave hold on for 8th overall.
Weird to see Paul without Hannah
I love simon.
"What about you Simon, do you change the way you putt depending on the basket?"
"Nope."
"You just putt at it?"
"Yep."
"Good answer."
This is one of the BEST videos posted on RUclips! Thank you guys for posting names during each shot along with the score between each hole. The commentary brings it all together for a great show. Love it!
Did anyone else notice the SpinTV logo on the ground at 22:54?
I love how Simon is bagging on Dave. lol
Alex Padilla Ol diva dave.... "good entertainment"
This coverage is absolutely fantastic. No other way to describe it. Great video and commentary. You are really raising the bar and this disc golf fan appreciates it very much. Thank you.
This tournament was covered tremendously! Well done!
Simon was definitely not afraid to call people out all day hahahah especially on hole 15
Thanks for getting this to us so quick Jamie!
I felt proud when the gallery was complemented. Great coverage. Thank you yet again.
Simon and Paul should do commentary on all the videos. It's awesome!
I really enjoyed this video with the guest commentators. Thanks for getting that together, SpinTV.
Great footage, well edited and with great commentary, what's not to love. :-) It's fun to do a little time traveling and watch these guys a few years back.
Fantastic footage! Paul and Simon make the best commentators! Keep up the good work!!
damn guys, I love the productions you're putting on for these tournaments. I can't stop watching them. Great work! You guys are helping bring the sport into the eyes of the public even more.
Players doing commentary is GREAT!!
McBeth didn't slam the door on 16 and 17 like he usually does. Really surprised he missed those birdie putts. Good to see someone else clutch out a big one. Big Jerm came up big.
Great commentary by Paul and Simon.
I'v enevr seen this tournament such a great round, the moments in this are so cool and great commentary from Simon and Paul
Glad to see these guys having fun and enjoying the game. Commentary was great.
7:42 lmao. The commentating from Paul and Simon is hilarious.
awesome tournament. you guys played great. I enjoyed the tournament all the way to the end when Paul dhook the victors hand. I love good sportsmanship. Great game simon.
"Everybody wants to be a beast until it comes time to do what beasts do."
Awesome candid conversation to go with an epic round
Very nice work. My favorite coverage of the event.
Great coverage and commentary. Thanks for the work you put in!
Awesome video, great commentary, awesome editing. This is top-shelf disc golf footage. Keep it up, SpinTV!
"I try to help when I can" -Simon
I'm dying here! :D

The last few tournaments have been crazy with the playoffs. Epic!
Lol when Will Schusterick saw Paul at the end he immediately walked away
Good win jerm!!! Love the commentary!!!
Great commentary keep up the good work!
Great commentary, thanks!
That was some fun commentary.
Simon should do color commentary on all tourney vids.
Funny give and take between Simon and Paul. You made me laugh.
love the ending! goodjob BigJerm!!
Just GREAT to see the guy that came in 2nd get beat- especially by the guy that beat him!!!
So did you spell daves name wrong on the scorecard cause he left innova for lat64? Cmon hes still a great guy!!!
Felberg is actually the beardless twin of Feldberg.
anyone ever hear of an innova twisted flyer? some guy gave it to me like a year back and it's my favorite disc, but i googled it and didn't find anything except for a twisted flyer pro tournament video that was actually at a course right by my house.
Twisted Flyer is a guy who stamps discs and sponsors tournaments. A lot like DD when he started.
It says nikko threw a -30 and is in 4th while barsby has -36 and Is behind him.. Typo
My man Mike Herbst holding the score card finally get to see him going into the playoff.
ID love to just play a round and bs with these guys.
25:25 WHAT A SHOT JERM
AJ risley is the camera guy? 29:29
I KNEW McBeth was trying for an ace run.
watching this instead of DGPT...
Does anyone happen to know what Simon's mini record distance is?
TakingBackGunch It was 527.8 feet, the first mini throw of 500+ feet
That bromance between Big Jerm and Uli at 25:45
Their high five game was not on point haha
Those SmashBoxx guys crack me up.
Why did paul have all new disc?
Someone stole his bag of discs. A lot of his discs were very beaten in and had been in his bag for years.
minidini10 anyone find the bag yet? With the whole DG community looking for it, it should have been found by now.
+Chase Payne hey baby! My comments on the other video are still there. For some reason my compensation was only $25 this week so that's frustrating. And I'm more broke than I thought. Also I was trying to be chill but that dog next to me is a 10 week old Australian shepherd. Aaaahhh.

+Chase Payne Bugo?
its starting to feel like paula nd simon are bros lol
Lol @14:40. I've watched several videos now where Feldberg complains about the gallery being too loud and also his competitors not calling foot fouls when he screws up. I have the feeling he enjoys complaining.
Wich course is this?
Thought Jamie said he was going to shut up for this back 9?
The guys were a little tired (we recorded that night). I fully intended to not say much at all. Given a little time and some sleep between the round and the commentary and I think we'll have a good formula for next time ;)
James Thomas hahaha. I'm totally kidding. Everyone did a great job including you. Can't wait for more coverage from spinTV.
I took it in jest :) I am known to talk! Lol
2021, winter sucks 😅😃
OMG FIRST
:p
The binaural microphone makes this vid annoying as heck.
Yes I didn't configure the pickup angles/settings properly for a 3-man team. That one is on me due to tiny window of time to get the recording in. This is definitely something I want to improve upon for the future. Apologies and we'll do better next time!
awesome tournament. you guys played great. I enjoyed the tournament all the way to the end when Paul shook the victors hand. I love good sportsmanship. Great game simon.
