@@RedeemedChains yeah the premium runs are great and really OS. But the one i'm throwing there is a baseline plastic that i have beat in to have some turn.
I've been playing on and off for 40 years. Last year I picked up a Hawkeye (7/5/-1/1) and it changed my whole game. If you can throw 220-270 feet straight, you can probably play to par on almost any course.
I was out of town and had some free time, so I bought a champion Roc3 and played a round with just that 1 disc. It was one of the best things I’ve done. What a great challenge. That Roc3 is now part of my bag.
Calvin Peete learned his golf swing when the only club he had was a 7 iron. He was arguably the most accurate in the game in terms of fairways and green hit in regulation. I would say that the 5, 6, and 7 irons occupy the highest band of utility among all golf clubs available. Any one of those work for a "one club" round. A choked down 5 iron is great for learning chip shots.
Wizard or Fuse. Prolly the fuse if the course has many +300' baskets. Using any putter for putts is weak. 1 disc to rule them all! Thanks for another vid.
For me a Buzzz is my absolute Go To "7 Iron" disc. I use a Buzzz more than anything else. I did just pick up a Halo Roc3 and started including that in my bag, trying it as my practice shot after throwing the Buzzz, see what it does for me.
Another reason golfers love a 7 iron is because it's versatile. You can hit punch shots with it, chip with it, it has enough loft to help you feel comfortable half swinging it at 120yds but you can also go full at 170 or so.
"beat in" means the accumulation of dings, scuffs, and scratches on a disc from hitting chains, trees, pavement, etc. These imperfections reduce the aerodynamic smoothness of a disc, which causes a disc to become slowly more understable with age and use. For some (overstable) disks this actually makes them fly a bit straighter. For disks that are already neutral or understable this makes them flippier and better suited for hyzerflips.
3 thoughts, how long does a soft plastic putter last?and if you only hit chains? How many throws does it take to achieve "broken in"? I know plastics matter and aggressiveness of breaking in, but lets say for theory how many trees do I hit off the tee before a low grade plastic is considered broken in?
I've been spending this year playing only 5 speed and less. It's been amazing for my game and mostly for my form. I'm getting more distance now. I'm actually looking forward to the year ending so I can add my 6+ speed discs back in my bag and see how I do.

7 iron only , wasnt that on that movie Tin Cup? great vid today, mid only/putter round sounds like a thing i need to try. along with a few other of your ideas to help us poor less than 300 ft golfers, disc-ers? lumberjacks? im sure im missing the slang term for chunkers of discs. thanks.
Any good 5-7 speed discs are workable on pretty much any hole ever made. If all I could use was a Buzzz for straight lines and turnovers and a Glory for everything else I'd be just fine in the majority of situations.
For those deceiving up hill shots, you should use the range finder to tell us vertical gain, or the slope of the hole if you can remember to. More context is always helpful to tell the story
while I am in love with my roc3 I'm surprised no one decided to play the buzz for how popular it is. I do guess because its kind of basic its not as fun to make big plays but still very reliable.
A disc is a disc right? U got a putter a mid and distance driver right? Should all cost under 15 bucks right? U either use a mid and putter or distance and putter or just the putter if your weird right?
I guess what I'm surprised about is how fast people in disc golf expect results. I mean imagine picking up a baseball for the first time, and one year later expecting to be say as good as the average first string highschool varsity player? Like throwing 300-350' consistently with reasonable accuracy is actually a lot better than I think the internet makes it seem. Hunter and Trevor are good examples of big distance is helpful, but largely it's so they can more precisely throw 350-400'.
The 7 iron is so versable. You can do so much with it by adjusting the loft. Adjust your grip a bit and the club becomes delofted and hits far. Adjust it the other way and you get more loft. But the main thing about the 7 iron is where it fits in your stance. When you take your stance, the clubs position change from Driver positioned at the lead foot, to the wedges being positioned at the back foot. That means the 7 iron is positioned in the middle of the stance....the easiest place to get lined up.
Hey Robbie- I used to play golf and a 7 iron is a good club for approach shots and Par 3s from the tee box. It's a great utility club because of the loft and distance, very versatile. Love the channel and thanks for explaining disc golf in simple terms. You'd make a great coach.
If I had to pick a versatile mid to play the whole round with, I be stuck between 3 discs. It would have to be my dx roc, big z buzzz, or opto claymore for me. I had to see what all the hype was surrounding the roc, and it really surprised me. Brand new it flies very stable, be can be easily shaped. My buzzz is straight to slightly over stable, and the claymore is straight to slightly under stable. I can get them all to move around in flight, so it makes me wonder which one I’d have the most success with.
I got my first quack! So proud
Wait till you get your first Honk.
You are the only other person i have seen play with an Ursus. I have a glow Ursus and it is a beefy disc
@@RedeemedChains yeah the premium runs are great and really OS. But the one i'm throwing there is a baseline plastic that i have beat in to have some turn.
@@mandalorian540 yea, it looked more neutral over the one I have. Always good to see smaller companies getting love.
So encouraging to see really good players still plunk a tree now and then. Thanks for sharing guys.
I’ve been playing putter only (emac judge) but I’m taking this video as permission to start doing mako3-only rounds and emac truth-only rounds too 👍

15:52 they think that CT plastic is unusable after one rock hit 😅 this was obviously filmed before the Foundation video uploaded yesterday 😂😂
8:18 don’t think I’ve ever seen Robbie use the towel!
Gotta say, Trevor swings that camera like a pro. Good focus, great follow of the disc, and zooms right to the spot.

Robbie, I very much enjoy the "how you doing ___________" thats good stuff buddy. Keep that up!
Awesome video! I'm going to try this with my Buzzz, and Roc3~!

I'm right there with you. I threw an 11 speed disc for the first time in a long time, long story short... I leveled up my game!
Love it - I played with a Mako3 only for a month - my ability to aim and be consistent on desired shots got boosted big time.
What 5 and 4 speeds are you using?

My 3 fav every day discs - FD, Teebird, Stalker. They all have slightly different uses but they are my go to for 350 and in.
Glow hex, fission hex, "four very different discs" lol

Let’s go Wes!
I thought this was going to be another video about the zone as soon as I heard hunter's voice
Once Wes gets that putting down he's got a pretty good game
Ashamed Hunter isnt going with the people's Buzzz 🤧

Roc is my 7
I do not approve of the green baskets.. lol
I need them orange 😁

Parked4par boys may have to steal this idea lol. Awesome video man
Do it!!
Playing a 1-disc round and still carrying the entire bag. 😂
Tbf, we started on hole 11 after filming a video needing our whole bag on the front nine. 🤣🤣
After watching the sheer brutality of discs yesterday with the Foundation guys, it's weird seeing everyone back to normal lol.
Hahaha this was definitely filmed that same week!
@@RobbieCDiscgolf The noise of you slamming discs into trees repeatedly will never leave my head lol. Thank you for the content sir.

gotta b a buzzz
No Leopard?
technically legacy makes the ursas
Correct, legacy manufactures for Terminal Velocity, like how lattitude 64 manufactures for dynamic
No buzz??
No Buzzz is criminal…
… putting with a putter …
I thought you would went all the way and putted with them, they putted with there 7 irons!!!
VIDEO REDO!!
Why does he wear keys on a chain necklace?
@RobbieCDiscGolf has talked about it on the "In The Bag" podcast, and he explains it pretty succinctly. Maybe he can sum it up here?
Two big DG channels collab, yet not everyone is mic'd and everyone is at a different volume. C'mon guys, you can do better.
The 7 iron is so versable. You can do so much with it by adjusting the loft. Adjust your grip a bit and the club becomes delofted and hits far. Adjust it the other way and you get more loft.

That means the 7 iron is positioned in the middle of the stance....the easiest place to get lined up.
Robbie lookin great in that bogey bros hat 👌
The innova jay would be my pick
Its like what people say about the mako3 except actually true.
