Building the Bag: Episode 7 - Distance Drivers

[@Beaglefaust]

You are the perfect pro for Infinite Discs. I can feel your enthusiasm for throwing new plastic. Hard not to learn a lot watching this.

[@1andonlyMiro]

Everyone underestimates the Tournament-X Swords stability. That thing CRUSHES.

[@shihuna]

Loved this: “I felt like, ya know, why not? Shout out my wife. I love this human being.”

[@patricksullivan4769]

Loved that he said “I love this human being” about Calvin too

[@kieranhight9453]

Love all the RPM discs getting a throw in these videos, just remember, New Zealand made, NZ Nuke. Not Australian lol

[@SIIIIIIIIIIIION]

A little tear came out when he said aussi nuke

[@evanrosswilliams]

Three times too, just to really rub salt in the wound. EO: Australian Nuke Cam: Ozzy Nuke EO: Ozzy Nuke 😭

[@rileybruce6772]

I loved his reaction to the Kiwi, thats exactly how they fly and is exactly why its in my bag, absolute beef and I can rely on it no matter the weather

[@andresa8209]

This is such a dope series. Learning a lot about new disc and what their uses can be . Let’s gooooooo!

[@LeedsSTL]

Surprised not to see the Lat64 Rive in this test.

[@andreasericsson6989]

I think it's because he can't handle that stable of a disc. Most of his throws seem to be around 120m (or 400ft). The rive doesn't make much sense until you get an extra 20-30 m (or 60-100ft).

[@MegaLaban12345]

He has good taste, and avoids trilogy for that reason.

[@RipperStudio]

Hahaha! The cow noise after the Kiwi throw had me rolling! 😆

[@drudy18]

9:59 RPM makes some STABLE discs, I love them

[@scottkaczinski2168]

Subscribed. Was fortunate enough to meet Eric at Worlds 2019. Great guy. Love watching that forehand.

[@mattmcgovern9825]

The Emperor bombs. I have been a trilogy guy for a few years. But never settled on a driver. Kept bouncing around. For what ever reason I decided to try a Kona Panis Emperor last year and immediately fell in love. It just goes further. It might be a tad too stable for me at max weight. But I have 4 of them in weight ranging from 162 up to 175. Covers all my distance driving needs! I

[@regnillot4614]

if you can find one, the concrete emperor is the most understable run of emperor that they have made IMO. Its a great compliment to the konas and ggs.

[@okkouljas5172]

You might like the royal line Rive from latitude. Lots of glide with some nice stability.

[@fernandeazy8715]

Another great video where we got to pry into the mind of a pro as he explores the answer to the age old question… what that disc do??? Love the content and the longer video format. EO, a man of the people!

[@m1erze]

Eric out here bagging 89 discs in practice rounds

[@BaysingersDiscGolfChannel]

I really appreciate that you took the time to throw each discs flight numbers in here with the company logos. Also, as a part of Team RPM, I love seeing how much you are enjoying their plastics and molds!

[@alwolschleger7242]

The Erika Sword is now my go-to driver. Feels so good in the hand, and I get consistency and confidence with it that I never was able to quite achieve with stock VIP Swords. It's almost like another disc, and I love it.

[@thebr0wnhornet]

I have a vip sword that turns over too often, is that one more stable overall or just more reliable?

[@alwolschleger7242]

@@thebr0wnhornet Noticeably more stable, very reliable. Gives me a straight flight with a touch of fade. It's everything I wanted the Sword to be.

[@LordoftheEagles]

Discs have integrity. Love it. Love your vibe Eric you make me want to be a better thrower

[@jordanmanuel9160]

"is that a tilt?" 😂 I busted out laughing. Great vid Oakley!

[@jonahfransson]

Did you check the hyped Loft Bohrium?

[@imZenqii]

Should definitely have tried Rask, and some MVP drivers

[@JoshJackson13]

Emperor did look nice 👍 I use a flat raptor destroyer and and a flat gstar KRAIT. I need something with little pop top for back hand hand.

[@erikkteschlog]

Eric when you get a chance you should smash that Pharaoh on a roller --- longest roller I've had is with a pop-top I-Blend that's a little seasoned. Awesome series, I enjoyed every second!

[@olliejjwebb]

RPM Koh - tar - re (re like in do - re - mi) - chur!

[@turnoverhawk225]

Any reason your not trying any MVP/Axium/Streamline for your fairway - Distance drivers?

[@WhalePants]

I'm gonna try more throughout the season. Just didn't find any that I was super sold on when it came to feel.

[@ForehandDiscReviews]

How far are you looking to forehand these? Like that ezra nuke how far was that?

[@JustBBlunt]

Where can I get the Synapse with that stamp?

[@sueinraleigh3091]

Are you playing this year?

[@BringSomeColor]

Awesome! Looking forward to see you play on coverage this season :D

[@ethanbeachy6593]

I know everyone has their favorite driver and you can't try them all, but my go-to driver is the Streamline trace - straight with a bit of turn, then some fade for me, out to about my (non-wind-or-downhill-aided) max of 400 or slightly over.

[@markt.4736]

Great content. I love GG Halo Wraith for forehands. Must try! Also legacy enemy for short overstable forehands. Thanks for being you!

[@RollTideJD]

I got to try that emperor. I love my enforcers if I can keep them flat or even with a touch of hazard. But as soon as I put a little bit of Annie on them they flip over and never come back. They seem to do fine at first but just a little bit in and they lose that integrity.

[@danielbert2845]

No Zues?

[@prattacaster]

When you hitting the Tour? Or you gonna be building your bag all year?

[@WhalePants]

First off, Yes. I got injured shortly before the season started, hence why I haven't played an event yet. Secondly, I will continue to work on my bag, so yeah I will be building my bag all year. ITB coming soon.

[@Tay_Noriega]

I’ve been absolutely digging the glo metal flake pharaoh complimented with the swirly S blend pharaoh and been rocking the domier Ethereal Synapse as my distance drivers

[@biwan428]

What would you say is the difference in flight between the two plastics of the Pharaoh?

[@Tay_Noriega]

@@biwan428 glo metal flake is less stable than the swirly s blend.

[@mitchleming1931]

I have a 168g lucid trespass that is beat up and it is amazing! I also tried the sword recently in VIP 173g and it is great too!

[@theboijcags8283]

Approx how far are those going? Im trying to figure out what 12 or 13 speed i wanna throw for my faster than wraith slot. My max d was around 400ft with a 166 boss

[@WhalePants]

425-510

[@MegaLaban12345]

Heck yes, I've been looking forward to this one

[@idiocracy9530]

Has he tried the Bohrium disc?

[@funnymidgetman93]

I’ve thrown kastaplast for a year now. I’ve noticed that every disc (that I’ve thrown) from a 4 speed up, is more understandable than the flight numbers suggest; some more than others. Just takes some trial and error. They still make some of my favorite discs so it’s not a game breaker for me🤙

[@handy1.]

Love your content, always enjoy your delivery

[@jacob_coleman25]

With such a unique walk up style, how much trouble do u find with teepads? And which is your favorite style of tee pad?

[@WhalePants]

Turf. And no trouble, just had to adjust to whatever may be in the way

[@joelkorhonen3170]

Just got some Synapses from mail today, they feel great!

[@1andonlyMiro]

I'm a bit surprised to not see an Opto Ballista Pro on the list. It is a really good forehand driver imo but I guess it's got too wide of a rim?

[@foilcladshadows]

Wow no Zeus or discmania DD3. Simon and eagle bomb thoes things

[@jodypowell5375]

Cool Video EO. You have to give the Zeus and Rive a shot. Beast Mode for sidearmz 🔥

[@lowery71]

Any more Swirly Dynasty runs coming?

[@discgolfwes]

Kind of surprised you didn't try a DD3

[@WhalePants]

Just didn't grab any. They are hard to come by.

[@MaximilianBerkmann]

That or Rive, Recoil, Grace and Photon.

[@FennaFullmer0]

Would have loved to see the neo enigma by discmania as an understable driver. How far are most of these going? its hard to tell.

[@bestordiscgolf]

Missing out on the esp zeus!!!

[@maxathon13]

Loving those Emperor and TPX Sword shots! Wonder how how heavy the TPX Sword is that he was throwing?

[@discgolfdreams]

D model S is always so surprisingly great - BAG IT!! if goes so much further than i expected

[@mikebeireis3990]

The first time I threw my new kiwi in the field it cracked me up pretty good too 🤣🤣

[@unclejemima9079]

The erika sword is so much beefier than I expected.

[@3dguys518]

The Synapse in nebula ethereal and Aura kicked my flat McBeth Destroyers out of of my bag as a distance forehand disc. Same distance and more reliable.

[@ocman563]

nice

[@DrD04K]

Why no gyro?

[@armlock311]

no mvp?

[@WhalePants]

Just didn't find any of the molds I was drawn to. I had a lot of discs I knew I wanted to try and MVP didn't get there. I do plan on trying more out as the season goes on though!

[@discmanwes7915]

Surprised with how much you love Thought Space that you didn’t try the Trace? I love my Sarah Hokom Trace!

[@williamburk5818]

I know I'm bored when I'm watching this, knowing full well I don't have the arm speed for any of these.... Lol literally took my nuke and other high speeds out of the bag the other day cause I knew I wasn't gonna throw em in my round.

[@yevettewilliams9086]

If you want a more OS Destroyer, try a DGA Hypercane

[@dougadamsau]

Chuckle. Eric got ambushed by the middle Kiwi.

[@georgetheanimal658]

Ballista Pro👍🏻

[@sethmcclelland9969]

Weird question/observation. Are you double jointed in the elbows? It sometimes looked like it. I am, and if you are I was wondering if you feel it has any effect on your game vs the normies? 🤣

[@WhalePants]

I definitely have some more play in my elbow, I have not had any effect or see any gains because of it. I do look to roll/massage my shoulder and elbow often to take care of those joints as a preventative measure.

[@sethmcclelland9969]

@@WhalePants Thanks! I definitely need to, I feel like a compression sleeve helps me on a forehand heavy day. Good luck this year!

[@1andonlyMiro]

Haven't watched the full video, but I'm really hoping for a Prodiscus Ultrium Razeri to make an appearance here 👀

[@1andonlyMiro]

Well now I'm a bit disappointed tbh. Bit there were A LOT of other interesting discs here 😌

[@LeedsSTL]

Razeri, great mold.

[@kingdavey90]

I love my Wraith

[@leecox3206]

i got a kiwi as a mystery disc from infinite. I had the same reaction. its ridiculous.

[@trixxpyro5572]

Hey man, just thought I would let you know you have 2 videos in your playlist for building the bag that isn't part of the series. Keep up the amazing content.

[@JoshJackson13]

Machete does what that rpm disc was doing

[@Tmv21395]

Pharaoh was hauling on the first throw!!!

[@JoshJackson13]

Wraith is like my KRAIT it goes just as far as my destroyer but without a big turn or a big finish. You should watch your video and watch that wraith fly again 4hand

[@KnKPanda]

Now I want a Kiwi and Kotare lol 😳🔥 Amazed you didn’t try the Falcor 🤔 or maybe this was filmed a while ago lol

[@Fableddd]

Where's the discmania and MVP love? I would have liked to see you throw a cloudbreaker or a photon

[@forgtmnot27]

Was also expecting at least a photon

[@jordanurbanski6400]

one of my distance drivers that i love to hyzerflip for big distance is a hades it goes 370 plus and a disc thats super cool is a scorch it is great for distance with low power with tremendous glide if u could check them out they could be some spicy pics.

[@brooksy3069]

eric has both a high level backhand and a pristine forehand, he should be a solid contender, great arsenal and decent putt, if he stays dialed, he'll do well

Watch Mattie-O throw the S-Word... Sweet disc.

[@ILoveAnimation2]

You love to see it The full bag?😁

[@thejasonblackburn]

This whole series is better on 1.5 playback speed

[@paulhill4232]

Kill it out there EO

[@tomahoks]

Lil lo on hang time, ehh?

[@bullred9498]

That flight on the Grym X reminds me of my Kaxe Z, everyone I’ve seen on KZbin said the Kaxe Z is more stable than the Kaxe but that thing is understable at least for me, definitely doesn’t fly like a 6/5/0/2 disc imo

[@antiwhatever5391]

I’m not a big fan of distance drivers but the X3 is my only one

[@kevinbechteljr5612]

Kiwi = beef

[@ScouterReport]

Need to try a Kastaplast Rask

[@TheFats216]

especially the "Z" version

[@whrlwind5430]

Eric Oakley “god it feels so good in my hand” lol here come the that’s what she said jokes

[@evilmenudo]

I like the "Glide" of 5 on the super overstable discs ahahhahhaa!!!!

[@jackhanson3621]

but they really do have that level of glide when you throw them up to speed… of course for someone who throws

[@TopClipzhighlights]

gotta get some looser shorts eo

[@WhalePants]

I like the way they look.

[@bestvolibearuseast]

gives pushin p a whole new meaning lmao

[@josueestrada8688]

Is this supposed to be a mixed bag sponsor or no? Every video has been 99% your sponsor of infinite or thought space. I was expecting the bag to actually look mixed.

[@WhalePants]

I think it’s pretty mixed. You’ll just have to wait and see the ITB
