Mr. KZbin Man, more Abby on the channel!

[@matthewwolf2815]

“Believe in yourself Rob!” LoL!!! This was hugely fun. Can you drag Abby out there every week for this?

[@JacobPorterLadder]

Abby's forehand really came together as the round went

[@marshin7237]

unironically some of those shots would be better than I could hope for. Really impressive!

[@Corrigan65_]

What I was thinking

[@mortenhalkjrjacobsen3621]

Abby is fun and likeable, bring her more often. Make a series of videos where you teach her the fine art of playing discgolf, that would be a fantastic series Rob

[@jonathanhicks4871]

Abby's pure joy when she makes a good shot is absolutely invigorating. Please have her on again. Shout out to the guy that said Matty-o vibes, and I see the Erika Stinchcomb comparison, too. That's two awesome Abbys! Now, regarding your lefty journey: it's a great time to revisit your old videos and take your own instructions. For example, more positivity and faith in yourself. Don't judge your relatively new form through the lens of your experienced righty form.

[@tylerking7890]

Holy cow, this. ^^^ All of this!!!

[@Corrigan65_]

Congratulations Abby. Big brother will naturally want a rematch. Who wants a sequel? Let's see it

[@capandcheese]

I’m convinced Robbie threw left handed darts at notecards with video ideas and landed on “left handed” “sister-in-law” & “beginner discs” for this vid. 🤣 Good vid man, quality content as usual

[@TheGiraffehead]

That last Abby forehand dropped my jaw, that was a seasoned throw, and a great finishing putt.

[@fiveseasonswillard]

This is the best Robbie C video in months!!! So much fun!

[@chattfiremike]

This is why I love disc golf. Just out there have fun!👏🏻👏🏻

[@Meta-Drew]

5:13 That was actually a rip! Too bad it was completely the wrong way, lol. Good educational opportunity about the abandoned throw

[@russkarl6589]

Very fun video!!!! Love your vibes Robbie I hope to be that positive in life.

[@brianc1651]

She should play more. She's getting it pretty well.

[@jhines0042]

Wonderful to see some content that I, a beginner, can relate to. Keep up the great work Abby!

[@rjreliv]

This was so fun keep these coming!

[@titushayes633]

I feel your pain, I hurt my right arm a while back and have started to teach myself to play lefty. I can say it is not easy. One thing I have figured out is that light discs are amazing!!!

[@waltermaciejewski7381]

I’m a lefty player. Been playing for 1 year to date. Messed my elbow up towards the end of last years season (Michigan Player) and played a lot righty. Luckily I had all winter to recover. I feel for you and wish you a speedy recovery. In the bag listener 🤪

[@samuelyoon5701]

Loved to see Abby’s improvement and positive mindset throughout the whole round!

[@jfigueroa37]

That was great! I would totally watch a weekly heads up as you both improve.

[@infogobbler]

Great to see you working on the Lefty!!

[@joshraj1]

Loving the creativity in your videos while the arm heals!

[@Motorboatasaurus]

Pretty fun video. I'm ready for more like this.

[@christopherwelch5568]

This was fun to watch. I'm a lefty but have to throw righty because I have tennis elbow. I put lefty but drive and approach opposite.

[@Corrigan65_]

Robbie hole 6. Your patent pending upshot from a knee looked silky smooth.

[@ToddsDiscGolf]

That girl is a natural athlete

[@matthewlambertsen8611]

It was fun to watch you play Lefty against a “beginner” giving her tips, but also letting her grow and trying to find her game. definitely enjoyable content👍

[@PFMirror]

The past two vids were very fun!

[@Corrigan65_]

Hole 5. Abby is on to something. There's inception of a Tartar forehand there

[@jamesbrant6840]

Love it. Fun video. Heal up.

[@DavidCornelius]

It's as if she follows pro disc golf and knows Matty O! So fun, and that look you had when you ripped that air bounce forehand in the woods says it all! (13:29)

[@rjwinter2483]

Great fun ciontent, and great course management for begginers.

[@Ishiisan]

Dude. This is another refreshing take. Very cool. I hope your arm is doing better

[@matthewschleicher9419]

Great video

[@itisjustmedude]

When you can throw lefty you can be a mirror for the person you are teaching backhand to. I’ve straightened out several friends rounding problems this way. It’s also fun to switch for a shot in the middle of a round.

[@cjellis1019]

Love Magnolia Links. If you find a blue river in the ditch next to 4 lmk lol

[@paulkinney2324]

Blindfold! Marco shouted from basket. Polo shouted from the tee. And left handed shot. A few beers too.

[@tonyatemple4657]

Abby is a blast! Very much see the resemblance with Lindsay too ❤

[@maawdawg]

Seems like a perfect opportunity to do a "building a beginner bag" series and being able to use yourself as the beginner wince you are pretty much starting fresh as a lefty (temporarily, for the next little bit). On the bright side, you can look at throwing lefty as adding another emergency tool to your disc golf Swiss army knife for the future, if you ever have to break out a lefty throw because of a truly terrible lie.

[@jjhill001]

Robby I played lefty for like 4 years and an injury forced me to switch to righty. It was annoying at first but I was able to go into it without any of the horrible habits I learned when I was just starting out (It let me get other newer debilitating habits) but I'm significantly better as a righty now than I was as a lefty. Every now and then being able to whip a reverse hand backhand out (not full power due to injury) with my old lefty is pretty situationally useful and gets some fun looks at a tourney if I get to whip it out.

[@jefferycraig5353]

i was mentioned! now its gonna be a great day

[@ogdiscgolfer]

I had to stop the video on hole two after that "confident" drive... if I had been drinking something... it would have spit out on the computer screen. I might have to keep that shot in a favorites folder! :D

[@markhopler9556]

Righty = Robbie C. Lefty = Lobbie C. It just works.

[@JayFF66]

maybe some content on how throwing lefty (as a righty naturally) will affect flight, other than the obvious reversing? I'm coming from ball & club golf, and throwing lefty backhands feels much more natural to me since the body mechanics are more similar to my golf swing. That also means right forehands feel great and easy, but am I setting myself up for redundancy throwing lefty backhands and righty forehands?

[@Corrigan65_]

Mad respect for you putting southpaw

[@billcoulter1984]

Fun.

[@Scywalker123]

Hey! I'm Jeff! only took a guest to get a shout out haha

[@ChrisPlaysDG]

7:21 Napoleon Dynamite Vibes

[@bobbymcbride1599]

The right elbow band throwing lefty lol😂

[@Christopher-Lenz]

I'm not so sure rest will heal elbow pain. You may need to push it a little bit then rest and repeat in order to get the ligaments and tendons stronger.

[@eoghana315]

As someone that had to play lefty due to injury recently, find a lightweight putter. My putting improved immensely when I used a putter light enough to actually manipulate with my baby weak left hand. (LSD Penny is what I used)

[@kevinkevinholt]

The happy claps are adorable

[@Iliyena87]

So... They are sisters for sure, some things they do are just to eerie similar, wording/smack-talk xD

[@alexlane288]

Robbie listen to me here. Like HEAR ME OUT. This could be your new alter ego Lobbie C.

[@alexlane288]

I also just realized someone said it earlier. Listen to them

[@jefferycraig5353]

More Lobbie C content please!

[@greg_loper]

I knew you had a left hand!

[@jamesfarabaugh6669]

About abandoned shot: Is that a penalty as in you were throwing #3 from the tee? Or you just count the abandoned throw as a stroke and you're throwing #2? And can you throw a provisional then decide whether to abandon the first or play it?

[@RobbieCDiscgolf]

Throwing three from the tee! Great question! If you choose to abandon throw I don’t believe you can throw a provisional. That would seem to be more of a practice throw situation, which is no good. But honestly not sure, I’ll have to do some investigating on the provisional!

[@musiclegler458]

Abby was fun.

[@marshin7237]

16:24 okay Kristin Tattar calm down

[@whitecobrae_kia7497]

She’s really good with the four hand

[@marshin7237]

If Abby makes more putts like she did at 11:13 Robby would never beat her. That was such a huge improvement all of a sudden!

[@discjunkiesDGT]

Abby is awesome buddy, easy going laid back like her bro, hole 10 was 😂

[@mikethomas5451]

Yes, you DID HAVE to do at least one left-handed round. Congratulations. (Maybe more?)

[@Tkizer2]

Abby’s forehand is already better than mine. Lol

[@callmegator16]

Are you @heavydsparks skinnier brother? lol just kiddin love the vids

[@Allanfan20]

I didn’t watch the video yet at all bc I am working and maybe you’ll address it… but how is your elbow?

[@marks101885]

Sister battle?

[@jrodeck]

I am having a good one :) my name is Jeff

[@autobowl]

Robbie nice shirt

[@russb8291]

First. And I'm here for it

[@kevinshorey9096]

Didn’t you have a guy on episode 10 of In The Bag that started throwing left handed because of an injury?

[@jeffjackson3356]

Abby is cool.

[@slap2go]

Your first put looks like my forehand sometimes

[@ahoydiscs]

You should call it Firesting

[@redmortensen4066]

Not going to lie. I'm a little surprised that you have a really hot sister. Robbie?? How did this happen?

[@tedparish7645]

Thank you for all you do and ah yes Miss Abby is so gorgeous love her

[@joshdunn660]

😳 9 more holes Abby prolly would have really figured it out! What a W! Abby = major DGB vibes.😂 ❤

[@whitecobrae_kia7497]

She just needs to throw a little harder for some of them drives

[@scottspringer4263]

Way to get creative with your content! Hope your are heals quickly.

[@YorikMayer]

Why your video quality got so lo suddenly? it looks like 480p...

[@RobbieCDiscgolf]

You should be able to switch it to HD with the gear in the bottom! Not sure why it’s been defaulting to 480 lately!

[@YorikMayer]

@@RobbieCDiscgolf it is not, that’s why i commented… it seems like it is, like it is out of focus on medium range or something. It is definitely full hd when you show discs up close.. but this dip in quality is especially noticeable when you compare it to your videos from like a half a year ago. Well for me at least..

[@RobbieCDiscgolf]

@@YorikMayer hmm. This is legitimately a fascinating problem, because I just checked on my end and on my wife’s phone and both devices were able to select 1440 hd. So I’m definitely gonna research why some devices are being held back! I’m sorry that is happening. That is super frustrating!

[@ashevillescarborough]

You need to do some form analysis of your subscribers… me first!

[@ryandowling4026]

he does this on patreon!

[@dragonwolf55]

I dont know why, but Abby is giving me Erika Stinchcom vibes.

[@rickvervoort9536]

Abby putts like the rest of us, which is 100% normal.

[@herbstomp003]

abby's now my favorite disc golfer. lmk when there's a signature disc
