Just another thought, the scoober putt might be handy in a strong headwind, instead of the disc lifting up, like in a standard putt, it would force it down into the basket.

[@kenanellks2356]

The fact that we've seen Paul sizing up scoober lines in Foundation's latest video tells me that this shot just might be sticking around

Oh THAT'S what he is doing. Makes prefect sense now.

I truly believe Brodie is helping to evolve the sport. His high disc IQ (from ultimate) not only makes up for the lack of experience in disc golf but actually brings an interesting perspective into the game. Love what you've been doing bro.

[@majorstorm9]

Can't wait to see Paul throw a scoober putt in a competition, that'll be when you know you've left your mark on the sport!

[@BrodieSmith]

You never know. Some situations it’s the best shot if you got it

[@majorstorm9]

@@BrodieSmith oh no doubt. I just don't think any of the top players even thought of it till you dropped that 70 foot beauty at waco. You're literally already changing the sport for the better and you've been playing 3 months... It's amazing to watch

[@Rc-Adventurers]

I am waiting for... “oh Brodie is in a rough spot”. “Doesn’t have an opening”. Oh Snap!! Brodie with a Chicken Wing throw!!!!!! He makes it!!!!!!!!

[@thedaver8]

Jokes aside, this is a fantastic tutorial! I'm definitely going to use this shot! Thanks, Brodie!

[@ryanpeterson2990]

This brings me right back to the old Brodie ultimate tutorials which got me started in ultimate. Now I play ultimate at college level and just started playing disc golf in pro division

[@billytchristianson]

#scoobersquad the more tools in the tool belt, the better! Looking forward to whipping this out!

[@eminence_]

This dude been throwing discs for a couple of months and already teaching us how to play :D What a legend

[@Hunter-Fozzy]

The same dudes screaming "Brodie is bad for disc golf!" are the same dudes practicing scoobers on their practice baskets during quarantine right now.

[@ryananderson9559]

Hunter DEAD 😂😂😂

[@le_tranq]

This is by far the most relevant thing you've brought to the table. I tried it out after seeing you do it and it's actually a really practical shot to play.

[@andrewbrown8148]

Wow, I guess this shot came around after my ultimate playing days. I've been playing disc golf for a LONG TIME...when we used to call it "object golf" using a Frisbee (1980)...and I've never really gotten comfortable with the thumber or tomahawk, so I'm going to have to give this a try. Taking my portable basket to the back yard now. (Corona isolation....blah~!!) Anyway, my son and I have been watching you for quite a while now (he intro'd me to your videos) and I wondered if you were going to give disc golf a go. Glad to see that you have, although I'm totally jealous that you're starting out and playing with McBeth and company~!! Keep it coming~!

[@bepriceless]

Among your other talents, you're a natural teacher. Clear, concise and easy to relate. Thanks. Kudos to your cinematographer.

[@Sdot301k]

It’s crazy because I remember watching your how to scoober video back in the day. It got me hooked on throwing frisbees. Now I just started disc golf and instantly come here to find you are a disc golfer now lol. You literally have the best tutorials

[@jgonsmurf]

I loved the reasons and mental percentages you gave for when you like to throw the scoob, makes total sense and is definitely something I going to try to work into my game.

[@jonmelsa]

This is really interesting because it's a throw that personifies the bridge between ultimate and DG, in the same way that Brodie has now come to personify that link. It's a concrete example of how a skill from ultimate can be super useful in a DG setting and it's been proven. I'm definitely going to be utilizing the scoober in situations like Brodie's describing and also have it as a tool for off-the fairway situations that call for creative scrambling.

[@westinsmith1457]

Your tutorials are great I am a total newbie to DG I am 64 and have been throwing frisbees since I was 12 yrs old Your style and method of teaching works for me, so the more fundamentals of the game you teach the better for me Keep up the great tutorial videos!!!

[@aaronswearingen3708]

So I watched this video while at work yesterday, worked ALL day, then woke up and tried this in my back yard. Game. Changer. Thank you so much Brodie!! Very helpful to have this in the arsenal. Love and appreciate your vids!

[@josephknapp6432]

Brodie! I love throwing the scooter in ultimate but I never thought about implementing it into my disc golf game! Thanks for the tutorial! It was great!!

[@WillTreaty595]

Awesome video, been really enjoying all your disc golf content lately! Keep up the good work!

[@Dwiggy4444]

[@benjamindahlskog3785]

Yesterday we witnessed (in tournament) why this shot will stick around, and why brodie smith will be, and is one of the most versatile disc golfers to date. Keep it up and good luck on the tournament brodie.

[@davehanvey]

Bro, I'm an old Ultimate guy who just started Disc Golf in late 2019. I was throwing the ol the Scoober all day on the disc golf course yesterday after every putt. Finally, I had a shot to win on hole 18 but there was a bush/tree between me and the basket (low ceiling) so I could not throw under. Went with the Scoober from about 28' over the tree and nailed it. That Utimate experience pays off! Thanks for sharing!

[@10emac27]

Please do a rules overview! How to drop, when to drop, common violations and such. All of us newer tournament players could use this!

[@brian6speed]

just watch tourneys online, rules can change.

[@token4774]

Hi Brodie, I watched you throw an amazing scoober to an elevated basket on hole 14 during round 1 of the 2023 USDGC. Your form and technique looked just like what you teach in this video. Thanks for the helpful tips!

[@stephenbrennan1551]

Brodie, 6 month player, saw this video about 2 weeks ago. I never got a chance to practice it though. I played a mini run by a local group in burleson, and found myself in an untenable position on the #8 hole, in the middle of a bush, at about 25 feet, needing to save par. I remembered this video and said what the heck, only shot I have, and first time I ever tried it, hit the putt. Thank you for expanding my thought process when facing these situations!!

[@craigfaircloth]

More tutorials... You do a great job of explaining the shot, and most particularly you do a top notch job of explaining when and where to use the shot. Thanks Brodie!!😊

[@lukesheehan436]

Awesome tutorial Brodie! Thank you for actually showing scenarios to use the shot. Will practice this tomorrow.

[@mal2ksc]

I understood what your scoober was for the first time I saw you use it. I'm glad you demonstrated it and will give it a shot, but I sure didn't need convincing that it's useful. That was obvious from the start. Not only has your course management gotten better in the last several months, now you're showing the old dogs some new tricks!

[@gregoryweleski8517]

Just wanted to say I’m excited for you being competitive in disc golf regardless of the experience you have in the sport and with the tons of discs. Been a fan of yours for years and seeing you make videos with Paul, as well as your own, on disc golf seems like a match made in heaven. Super talented in play and commentary. You guys play off each other so well. Love every video. Especially with Ben Askren. Keep it up man!! Love it!

[@coreydougherty4315]

Thanks for this video. I'm new to disc golf. Most of the courses in my area are highly wooded. This throw helps me out a bunch for getting through the trees. Love your channel. Learning lots.

[@ryananderson9559]

I started watching probably around 7 years ago. You helped develop a love for ultimate for me, I switched to disc golf a few months before you moved the channel over, and I’ve got to admit this is my favorite content you’ve ever made. (I know it’s not everyone’s favorite but I LOVE it)

[@owenpowers6459]

Loved how you walked through different "real game" situations where the Scoober putt would be useful - that was super helpful. Great video Brodie!

[@paulperry8515]

I love that you come in new and put out more content than anyone.

[@anderskristiansson7745]

FINALLY 😎 I have been thinking of this throw so many times, big thanks for this tutorial, i know this is going to improve my game 😃👊

[@poleshark368]

Watched your video yesterday and went to the field to practice the scoober shot. I played a round today and was in a situation of '' This is a Scoober moment". Played the scoober and hit the chains and had a tap-in. Ty so much for this awesome tutorial.

[@jeromycaballero91]

That's awesome. An almost completely new throw that has real utility multiple times a round. Thanks for sharing this, Brodie. My go-to in that 50-foot left-to-right putt situation has been a patent-pending annie putt. It's so cool to suddenly have another, much more controllable, way to do that. And putts on baskets at the top of hills with the scoober look way easier.

[@steveackerman5066]

I never knew this throw existed. I’m pretty new to the sport and I can’t wait to practice this throw! I pride myself on my approach shots and I’m looking forward to adding this to my game. Thank you so much for sharing! Shout out to your camera girl capturing the magic.

[@mikehosier1239]

Keep the disc golf content coming! Love it. You and this sport are made for each other. The Scoober is a viable shot with a death putt. Practice mode engaged.

[@SLPDiscGolf]

Awesome seeing your Ultimate experience and variety of throws being incorporated into disc golf. I firmly believe that many of your throws will start to find success for you, which will help others feel confident in using them. We can't worry about looking weird or unconventional as the most important thing is to improve the sport. The beauty of the Scoober is that it is highly repeatable in stressful situations due to minimal movements.

[@jamesevans7537]

I thoroughly enjoy your videos! Your are a good personality to push disc golf to a popular place in the US! Thank you sir!

[@searsb3n]

Brodie, I was finishing up a course yesterday and I didnt really have any sort of viable shot. Then I remembered watching you and Paul use it in a putting video and I totally used it for the first time and made a sweet layup with it. Hope you feel better my guy

[@PheelTheJoy]

I've used the way overhead, almost preflipped "tomahawk" to get me out of trouble for years. In the day we called them scoobers. Keep it up!

[@jackfotrades]

I was just in the back yard trying to figure out the scoober. Come inside pull up KZbin and low and behold Brodie has a new video up explaining the scoober. Sweet!

[@topimikkola2485]

Went out to test the scoober out today, was not disappointed, I noticed a huge improvement in my approaches, and got a few longer putts almost in for a birdie, this throw is definetly one I will keep in my toolkit and keep practicing and improving on. Thousand thanks for the tutorial Brodie. 💙 Broke my personal record on the course I went to on my second round over. Suopelto disc golf park.

[@ryanmacey8784]

[@ADeliciousMango]

This tutorial was much more in depth than I expected, it was honestly very helpful! I think this will improve my game, thanks Brodie! Dark horse!

[@NoahNDick]

I love it Brodie, been practicing scoober putting today. Love how they stay and roll to the basket.

[@thejasonblackburn]

Awesome tutorial! Thanks for making it!

[@karensorrentino9498]

Newbie here. Watched this video just before a round and needed to use the scoober -I was below the basket sloping terrain in bushes and other side of basket slope down and trees. I didn’t make the basket, BUT it landed flat within inches. Felt great to use this tool successfully to end the round!

[@neroschnee7698]

Please make a video on *which Ultimate throws can improve your disc golf game* (besides the scoober). - My name is Florian Lingenhel and I've been playing disc golf for more than 8 years since I was 10. I played on the U17 Austrian national squad in Ultimate Frisbee and still have a lot of the typical form in my throw - but not for the bad. Especially my upshots are very smooth and I can do longer runs at the basket when I'm throwing just like I would when I give someone a pass. But that's only form. Since you've been playing Ultimate for a much longer time than I have: Can you work out which throws, techniques and other Ultimate typical motions can help someone swaping over / playing both become a better disc golfer?

[@mawage666]

It would have been very nice to know this for the last 22 years that I've been playing. Well I'm glad to learn this technique and can't wait to try it! Thanks for the video and keep up the great videos.

[@johnk6847]

Thanks Brodie for another great video! Played a round today and had an opportunity to throw a scoober. I came up a little short, but hadn't had a chance to watch this video yet. Now I'm ready to get back out there to try it more!! Great work. Let's sling some discs!!

I’m looking forward to Scoober only rounds! Thanks for another great video! 🔴⚪️🥏😷🙏🏻

[@tmoz1017]

Great commentary on the Scoober. As you came into that last putting situation, I would really have liked to see you take all 6 of those disks, and throw them, uncut, one after another. I don't expect you to make them all, but it would be a great way to reinforce the same stance, angle of release, wrist action, etc, all in a row. Better yet, throw 6 with Kelsey capturing from behind, then go pick them up, return to the same spot, and throw them with Kelsey getting you from the front. Finally, thanks for keeping the content coming!

[@fred6329]

appreciate the down to earth mannerisms you have. good teacher.

[@derekdubie3327]

I watched your last scoober tutorial for UF and this one is a 1000 times better. Keep up the hard work. You should do a video where you teach a beginer like Kelsey how to do it.

[@6yearoldninja]

Thanks, Brodie! New to the game and used this yesterday...I still suck but I like the Scoober cause of how it just dies and doesn't roll or skip! God bless!

[@mehameha4453]

Thanks so much to you both. Exactly what we needed. We love you guys.

[@RonMongeon]

Great video Brodie, I've thrown the disc upside down for years using a RHBH throw. It's super useful when needing to slide them under low hanging guardian trees to get to the basket or out of "the rough".

[@CaptainMorgan813]

[@mattmitchem190]

Thinking different and out side the box Brodie keep it up. I’d like to see ya as a caddy for the different views and lines. Keep it up. Keep Slanging those disc!!!

[@sbburris]

Brodie, I really like this video and your willingness to try novel and different approaches. I think I often try to do a similar shot with a very lofted, "granny-shot" backhand when I'm hoping for a soft landing and wanting to almost "free-throw" the disc into the basket. I think your scoober putt may be a better way to approach these shots and look forward to practicing these in my backyard. Thanks for the content.

[@rgershberg]

great video. the scoober feel very natural for me. this vid will help me dial it in to (hopefully) save some strokes.

[@TheButlerNZ]

In Wellington New Zealand, We have a variant we call the "Traveller" (After the person we all got it from... that's his name)... We use it to go a distance through very tight trees, especially if you can't throw a flat through a narrow gap (me). We take a very flippy (mid range?), go with an overhead Scoober at about 11pm (Right forehand), and throw with some force. The result is often a 270 deg barrel roll (I've even seen Traveller get a 360) through the gap... The path (for a righty) is straight for about 50ft (at a tree on the left), turning anti clockwise and to the right, missing the tree, and continuing its anticlockwise roll on for about 150-170ft. Most of us barely get a 90-180deg roll but the result is an upside down slide on the ground beyond the trees.. It does require some height in aim at the initial roll turns down and under in its roll.

[@Chaser90EK]

I've used that "spike scoober" shot when I was waist deep in brush so I couldn't get a clean reachback for a backhand hyzer but needed to get over bushes blocking the basket.

[@BrodieSmith]

There it is!

[@Redsox4444443]

Great video Brodie. Not gonna lie, every time I Scoober, I hear the McGruber voice saying MCSCOOBER!!!!

Can you do more tutorials and full rounds? They are fun to watch. 👍

[@philschuit7979]

I've been throwing this shot for years it's a great utility shot especially for scrambling in the woods super controllable and accurate and it fits well in lines that you really cant get much arm movement such as in bushes or straddled out behind trees

Love your videos Brodie, more would be great but I hate when some end so soon. Longer videos would be amazing!

[@martinmadalik2142]

I had a blind 45 footer a couple of days ago. Could of gone anhyzer but then remembered you doing a scoober. Wanted to try it out and accidentaly got it in on the first try. Now i am going to start practicing this. Seems like a good utility shot. Thanks Brodie !

[@ronaldseyfer897]

I'm a new subscriber. Enjoying the lessons. Thanks for the tips.

[@50StichesSteel]

I've been using it as, something is directly in front of me and the basket. Instead of throwing a hyser spin put around the right where if I miss I might be getting further from the basket or even giving it a chance to get a roller going and getting me further. The scoober gives you that great flex around an object, gives you a decent attempt at making it, and also if you miss, almost 100% of the time its gonna sit right where it lands giving you a great close up tap it.

[@macrago517]

Thanks so much I've been practicing this put from your old ultimate tutorial but this makes it easier. I think you've added a new shot to disc golf, never seen any other pro use this shot. I just think it might stay around awhile.

[@MOLT]

Great video brother!

[@LegitySkopez]

I had no idea you were a disc golfer

[@dekmar7954]

I used this today! Had to throw a left to right shot around a corner. Was way too tucked in on the right to throw a forehand, and I could throw the scoober a lot lower and wider (safer) than a backhand anhyzer. I had also been curious about the difference between a scoober and a hammer, so thanks for explaining! This video was very helpful.

[@Arodynamics]

Made my first 50ft scooter putt yesterday (after watching this video). Thanks Brodie!

[@jarrodhayes5785]

You could comment and enlighten me about how the wind affects it more or less than the normal put. What I can tell you about scoobers is DON'T THROW IT HOPING FOR IT TO STICK ON SNOW! Learned that one the hard way. Love the vid though👍.

[@benjaphar]

Thanks for the tutorial on a shot most of us don't know much about. I would also be really interested to see how you're working on improving your backhand footing - specifically getting your lead foot more parallel when you plant it so your hips get more engaged. I have the same issue and it's a tough one to resolve for me... I know there's some mobility and hip flexibility issues there, and maybe also some subconscious concern about not hurting my right knee while rotating. Anyway. I'd love to see any drills or tips you find on that.
