      Agreed. For anyone just beginning, or the casual player who just plays at weekend camping trips, it is so confusing. To the point that it could be a turn off. And let’s not even talk about flight numbers!😂 Its information overload for anyone just getting into the sport.

      @mikemikemikemikemikemeup 10 месяцев назад

      What I have noticed is that new players do well with softer or rubbery discs. They seem to be a bit easier to use. So I usually tell beginners to find a good beginner disc from a RUclipsr and get it in a more flexible plastic. But I do agree that it’s confusing. Also the weights of the discs can be overwhelming for beginners. But honestly for most new players getting a beginner mold like a mvp paradox is more important than what plastic or weight it is. Get a good recommendation from RUclips and don’t worry about the rest.

    New to Disc Golf and your channel. But just have to say, I am OBSESSED with Gateway off the Voodoo and Wizard alone. Cant wait to get my hands on their non-Putter molds. My first ever round I was gifted a Voodoo and the obsession was immediate.

    I've got a Wizard (Eraser), Warlock (Lunar), and Voodoo (Eraser). I know a lot of people LOVE eraser, but I need to see how they do once scratched up a bit. Lunar is a sick plastic and doesn't seem to get junked up by the chains like HoD plastics.

    mmmm sorry for all the random comments but this video really hits home on my progression in the game. i have a Deep love for the SB and that honestly feels where they hook in OGs and new players. Those batches become quite exclusive and rare to find. 2016 SB for instance was my absolute favorite. flat, chalky and stiff with a hair give and then broke in concave which added even more comfort in the hand.

    Robbie,
    Long time subscriber here. Do a double check when you get these videos back from Silas because he has missed a few intended cuts in almost all of your videos since he started editing your them. Not hating, just something I noticed, and felt obligated to point out.
