I wish you would post these towards the beginning of the season so that we can watch what he has as they play through the year

[@flipflat4814]

I agree it makes sense to me👍.

[@chuckmynorris]

But it's a usdgc edition so can't really do that beginning of the season 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@flipflat4814]

@@chuckmynorris I guess technically it's right before the 2022 season, so it's just a little early instead of late.😉

Yeah. That would be awesome 👌

It's Barsby. That bag doesn't change much, if ever.

[@codyhall1636]

One of the nicest guys in the game! Dudes a legend.

I liked hearing the explanation about how the old Destroyer mold was turned into the Scorpius. I got a Scorp this last year and was thinking about how similar it was to the Destroyers that I had (and lost) when I first started playing about a decade ago. The glide/stability mix is something that I haven't found and I have thrown a lot of 11/12/13 speed discs with the same flight numbers. Also, Barsby is awesome. He is so knowledgeable about the sport and its history. It is a real pleasure listening to him.

[@brian6speed]

the discmania dd3 and infinite emperor are also destroyers hahaha. marketing genius.

[@turningthetide1]

@@brian6speed I have 2 DD3s and they don't fly anything like the old Destroyers.

[@shadowdancenz]

Gregg you are one of my favourite touring pros. Your interview with Luke was the best of the series. HOpe to see you a lot on tour again in 2022. Have a great off season (From New Zealand)

[@artgarba3108]

Gregg gives the best disc descriptions . His disc break downs are the best . Older beat in discs are pure magic .

[@smc9108]

I can't really say there are any pros that I don't care for, but this dude has always been one of my favorites

[@ravagecell]

How can you not just love this guy? He's just a cool dude

[@discgolflife]

I own a champion 174 eagle and it flys true to the numbers. I have a 171 star f2 eagle that turns over now when throwing backhand. I bought two 175 gram 2021 Gregg barsby tour series and wow. I played Rocklin CA last Saturday and I threw the eagle at least 5 times and parked 4 of them for birdie. Right now it's my go to disc. Feels great in the hand and It leaves the hand perfectly!!! When throwing flat it carries its line for awhile before it hyzers out. Great for controlled flat, hyzer and flex shots! Right now the disc is brand new so I get max distance when I put just a little bit of anhyzer but mostly flat. I threw this disc 400ft which is legit AF for a fairway driver for my arm at 41 yrs old. This disc is extremely easy to grip making it far more easy to control when throwing it compared to most disc. The most impressive part is you can use this disc as a driver I do it all the time lol!!!!Moral of the story if you don't own one buy one!!!!Much love Gregg you're definitely on to something with that eagle! I'll always have at least two in my bag for ever!!!

[@Andyofsuh]

Dang!! I got one cheap and now you make me want to throw mine. I been throwing undertakers

[@mitchleming1931]

Always love watching Gregg Barsby's in the bag every year! Loved his quote on when you first ace with a disc it is just starting to warm it up and to not put it away! I've ripped my discs into some trees and concrete as well lol. I got a tour series Gregg Barsby roadrunner and its awesome, started overstable and now it's starting to break in nicely!

[@ItsMeMarioJr]

CFR Glow Coyote is the most underrated disc Innova ever made. I'm so glad I have a stack of them, I got them all in 2010-11, now they are so pricey.

[@levimckinney1918]

I discovered them around 2016, I only have 2 and wish people would quit telling everyone else how good they are lol.

[@BIZARBIES]

@@levimckinney1918 not all coyotes are created equal either. The CFR are nice and flat and the glow plastic is very durable. The mini proto glow has a dome to it, not a fan. I have the original CFR Coyote I got in a players pack in 2010 that is in my bag, the rest are "back ups" lol The only other one I like are the old Multi-Purpose Coyotes, they nice and flat too.

If you like the scorpius, the First Run Falcons were a modified scorpius mold that feels like a scorpius but flips up easier. The newer runs of falcon are completely different feel in hand and much less stable.

had a similar issue w my 2021 eagle, chunked up like dx extremely bad on a normal skip shot. Couldn't believe it as I have only had it a few weeks. Loved the flight and feel but wish it was better quality, I can't have that in the bag for long periods of time. Maybe its time for a champ eagle tour series.

Think that Glow Coyote was from 2010, my buddy was an Innova retailer and got a bunch of CFR glow discs to sell at this festival and try to get the word out for night golf, he had Champ San Marino Aviars, Champ Teebird+, and those sweet flat Champion Coyotes.
