2020 USDGC - Round 3 Part 2 - Dickerson, McMahon, Russell, Gurthie

[@dgawlik43]

Love Philo’s insight and class, great commentary!

[@brianboylan6498]

I have said it before, Philo brings so much to the commentary, it gives it great depth. love hearing his take on the game, but would rather see him challenging for the lead.

[@BenCallaway]

CentralCoast you da real MVP thanks 😊 for the coverage! Also love having Philo on commentary.

[@everettmcdonald2088]

“Unbelievable, what are we watching now.” That’s how I felt through the whole tournament. Nobody stepping up to make it a real competition. Oh well, thank you ccdg for the great coverage and commentary.

[@kmnsdad]

9:46 slo-mo shows Dickerson with both feet in the air and the disc in his hand

[@philjohnson796]

If Dickerson threw Innova, that little clip would never have seen the light of day. They threw him under the bus like I've rarely seen.

[@TaylorGraham9292]

yeah I'm confused , was that legal or no?

[@Pullapelle]

Yeah, like male version of Hokom. 100% illegal putt. Just disgusting, IMO.

[@Pullapelle]

This is a big problem in disc golf. Some players break the rules obviously intentionally, relying the card mates not to call them out. It is like pissing in a friends pocket. I wonder if they ever gonna get this sorted out? I think this really holds disc golf back in becoming a serious sport.

[@discgolfdetails9889]

​@@Pullapelle The way of the future is smaller pro targets then having that progress over the next two decades to most courses when they need replacing. No more boring 25 footers. Create some drama. Putting is super easy compared to any other real professional sports. Yes that was a foot fault BUT I doubt Chris knew nor can the playing competitors tell since it's so close. I don't think Chris is foot faulting on purpose. I would also make the circle 15 meters to eliminate some of this.

[@johnhofer3089]

29:33 that ground play with whatever GG threw was insane. I've never seen a disc do that. Backspin roller?? 😱

[@acall92]

I think that’s what a skip shot looks like with GG power

[@kimmomatikainen1843]

I throw that type of shot when I need a disc to go around a corner, but I don't want big skip or distance. Let's say around a corner and only for maybe 60 80 ft. It has the same idea as a skip shot, but you throw the disc very vertically, more hyzer than spike hyzer angle. The straighter (standing up) it is the faster it stops. I throw it usually so that the disc is basically upwards/standing up and put a lot of spin. It curls very quickly to left (from backhand throw) and has a backspin so it doesn't go far. GG had more hyzer angle so it had a normal skip first and then it stood up and backspin stopped it. I guess the biggest danger is griplock because that throw needs to be very low.

[@joehagen8821]

Finally someone else who mains a Boss

[@davetyree550]

Love a champ boss

[@prestondier7046]

Guys should check out a Rampage if you throw a boss. Added 30-40 feet to my drive and feels very similar in the hand.

[@ivysimpson1947]

It’s great for skipping around corners.

[@ojistatusn8ive814]

I thought and said the exact same thing to my coworker just now. I used to keep a minimum of 5 go-to Bosses in different plastics in my bag before i started throwing primarily Kastaplast. Now ill keep just 2 of my main Bosses in the bag for those "just in case i NEED THE BOSS" throws that i might not feel confident enough to get done with a Kastaplast disc.

[@henrymanahan2764]

a sidearmer's delight!!

[@worldbiosphere]

The Dickerson foot fault is exactly why jump putts need to be banned! It IS a big advantage to leave the ground before releasing the disc and it IS nearly impossible to catch it in person without a video replay, and even if you did I am sure the card would not support all but the most obvious infractions.

[@jonijarkko123]

9:46 His foot clearly came off the ground before the disc released from his hand if you watch it frame by frame.

[@johnhofer3089]

Really obvious at 0.25x speed too. Foot fault for sure

[@loopghost]

Yeah, both feet in air. Disc in hand. Foot fault, if called.

[@hogleg2]

Dickerson and Conrad both on their jump putts clearly release the disc before their foot hits the ground, which I consider totally legal. Paul U.....? 😜

[@2020-q1p]

Wait I thought he had to just release it before his left foot hits the ground?

[@summitcarpetcare6695]

Guess you all don't understand what a fault is on jump or step putt. Dickerson definitely did not commit a foot fault. Outside of 30 feet you can step or jump. Inside "the circle" , 30 feet or less you can not step or jump. Actually have to maintain balance.

[@SlightlyOverripeAvocado]

Hey Ian, definitely figure out that putting percentage per foot stat! I'd alsolove to know how closely throw speed correlates to overall distance with modern players. Now that you guys are collecting lots of speeds & distances it would be interesting to know! They had two very different flight paths but Alex and Chris went ~ the same distance on 12 with Alex throwing 11 mph slower.

[@adamhisted2208]

Sweet Philo and Ian, take us away from this hell scape, to a nice happy disc golf place. 2020 needs disc golf coverage.

[@michaelmyers1487]

The Upsidedown jump in was Dean Pheifer (sp) Monday Qualifier and the shot got him in!

[@MK212074]

anyone know what they're referencing regarding Calvin Heimberg on hole 15 of round 1?

[@MK-ur5ix]

C'mon guys, i'm dying to know what happened.. Must be something really special

[@CentralCoastDiscGolf]

Honestly never seen Calvin look that flustered, nothing crazy happened

[@dustman96]

There is such a thing as playing too safe. Good watch!

[@ulrichvonstomp6031]

Philo!!.... The Golden Rake!! lmao!! Seriously though...hat's off to all that made the event happen! :)

[@johnraburn1093]

Hole 15 we are going to take a break from our lead card pro's and show you how amateurs tee off. lol

[@7tevoffun568]

As someone from Wyoming originally, I can reliably say that it can get drier than Colorado.

[@jonvia]

They had to be smoking ganja when commentating that round haha Ian clearly hasn't heard of a desert haha

[@zionvw]

I hereby suggest that putts like Alex Russell's on 16 be called a dab putt. ricky is sometimes a dab putter. I've dabbed a few.

[@stopmikeandjim3196]

Philo's right, Dickerson foot faulted on his putt at hole 11. Wow

[@stopmikeandjim3196]

Hole 15 too! I've never noticed that before

[@Spencer277]

we all just gonna ignore the moment at 14:18

[@bddulli]

Gnurl: verb: to curl in a gnarly rolling manner

[@benhailey3611]

Thanks Ian!

[@erikolson3729]

Some crazy shots

[@prestondier7046]

On 17 anything is possible Ian. Anything from a ONE to an eight. Ask Ricky about that...

[@michaelhanson7866]

Personally the artificial OB on this course is a bit too much. Not on every hole, but 10 and 11 are prime examples.

[@Tateochip]

@35:16 we’ve all been there 😂😂

[@trevorreniger5670]

Hey, Philo, what does the fox say? 35:17

[@NotNatthan]

what did the other guy say at 37:30?

[@thefitnessgrampacertest247]

Alex might be the #1 guy I would ask to make the island on 17 and save the world

[@CentralCoastDiscGolf]

I'll 2nd that

[@billycake5830]

That 'walk back OB' rule is really dumb. On hole 17, GG gets an easier shot because he went OB than Eagle did for staying in bounds. Don't get it

[@DnBGolf]

At the cost of a penalty stroke.

[@billycake5830]

@@DnBGolf The penalty stroke applies because he went OB. He doesn't have an additional penalty stroke because he takes it back, right? No one would take a second penalty stroke to move 20 feet back, they'd just throw it there

[@DnBGolf]

Correct, the rules for OB relief are 1 meter perpendicular to the OB line from where you went out, or straight back on a line away from the basket from where you went out.

[@ReviveNRepair]

One suggestion is to refer to players by what it says on the card. It becomes hard for new viewers to know who you are talking about when you say "Chris" etc.

[@Chris.Davies]

Thanks, CCDG. Great as always. Philo with the correct comment about step-putting: it is a very questionable form to adopt. It is not in keeping with the self-refereed nature of the game, because it asks too much of your cardmates. So, don't do it.

[@uupe]

I mean, commentating is good even that older guy keeps saying how much he likes this play

[@jonvia]

How did that camera chick on Hole 10 not get the idea? Hahaha like Do you even throw bro lol UPDATE: She moved for thy Prince of Smashing Drives, Eagle McVegan.

[@rickconnor4127]

Chris D. with his foot fault putts

[@mitchelladay]

Unpopular opinion: philo does better commentary than big jerm

[@jeffjacobs2706]

philo trys so hard to be right with everything that is said. ://///

[@alightened]

People should live Chris Dickerson alone. Sarah Hokum blatantly foot faults and no one calls her. People goin frame by frame for this guy.

[@alightened]

@@spikehyzer2323 I promise she does man. She’s literally a foot off the ground before she lets go lol. It’s horrible. Chris MAY like once out of every ten but it’s milliseconds

[@videojames440]

Probably because he is the best consistent player at this time.
