    Simon is probably the only sport athlete I know today that just exudes, hey I play a sport I love, Im having fun, and hope you are enjoying the show. Its easy to see why he and Matty O are heads and shoulders above most of the others.

    One idea I have about filming an event, or at least presenting them, is to have a mini overhead view of the hole on the side of the screen and have the disc represented by a small dot on the mini-map as it flies. Really help give a visualization of what's going on and be able to see where players land in relation to eachother.

    The question was ... "Who throws the most creative lines on tour right now (other than Simon)?"
    How did Simon not say Eagle?!? That was the first name that came to my mind ... actually the only name that came to mind. Eagle picks lines and throws during tourneys attempted by no one else almost as much as Simon.

  • @kfbwizard

    I agree about media coverage. I think new courses need to be designed to accommodate galleries and have multiple camera locations on each hole. For so long we (disc golfers and disc golf clubs) were happy to get any land donated to build a course. Time has come to be more selective in where and how we build a course that will be considered for use on the Tour.

    I think the only time to run up on a throw is the drive from the tee pad. Every throw thereafter should be a stand still from your lie. This would eliminate foot faults and it's just like regular golf where you get to use a tee on the tee pad, hence the name.

    In my view, what's currently hurting disc golf is DGN's diabolically blocky 480p20 coverage cynically being sold as 1080p60.
    I think the future will not be kind to DGN.

    The Disc Golf World and Simon Lizotte: Here's something else disc golf needs. I invented and tested a device, the "disc whip", for flinging golf discs and flying rings farther than we can throw them. I made a 70 min video about it, giving it an epic, corny, fictitious back story plot. It's on RUclips in 6 parts, beginning with, "Disc Whip Invented By Paul Marostica Part 1". If you like it, maybe you could give it a mention.

  • @bubblehulk7647

    After the last MVP open I think we need a change to how the crowds are handled, especially on lead card. It was a free for all on Sunday, and NOT for lack of trying by the tournament staff. They did the best they could, but people were running up and down fairways, standing on the edge of circle one with people throwing into the green. I know Simon had to ask a dude to stop moving at one point. Felt so bad for all the players on lead card who had to deal with it. They all played fairly bad after hole 1 and I wonder if it was tilting seeing all the people scrambling through the woods everywhere.

      In Simon's case DD3, but of course DD3 "is" Destroyer. In that logic all overstable midranges are Buzzz OS and all overstable approach discs are Zones and all overstable putters are Pigs and all straight fairways are Eagle and so on.
      So you probably bag a lot of Innova discs with some Discraft discs like everyone else.
      Of course manufacturers make type of discs that are popular and what their team players need and want. I just don't understand why MVP didn't do this before unless they had a plan this will be used as leverage to get elite level pro to the team.
      It would be dumb not to make destroyers, eagles, zones, buzzz's, buzzz OS's etc.

    Bad idea to standardize baskets or teepads. In fact, there should be variety of different kinds of targets in the game. Then a valid target could be e.g. a hole in a wall or something really creative. No need to limit anyone's creativity. And teepads... the same thing. Some teepads could engourage throwing stationary or they could be uneven just to make things more difficult. Standardization would limit the possibility of different teeing places. Like, e.g., trees or structures. Also the surface can't be standardized so that it works in every environment. But what comes to the current rectangle like teepad... it's not optimal. It's never aligned correctly, especially for lefties. A round teepad, or a triangle with cut tip, would be better.
