I watch almost every single one of your videos, but this one stood out, and I think it's because of the peek behind the curtain with the openness about what it takes to solely produce this channel.

I've received a lot of positive feedback from it. I'm thinking about doing a behind the scenes type of video to go a little deeper into the world of a KZbin content creator.

Darn right!!! They should definitely make a better effort to define what bags are being used. Obviously the skill level of the pros is different than our mere mortal levels, but im sure the bag also makes a difference. At least we can see what each bag is capable of doing in an actual game. Great video Mike.

Hey Mike, I love your videos and everything you’re doing. Thanks so much for continuing to do these podcast. I was watching where you were talking about commentators on the ACL side and how they don’t say which bags are being thrown. I think it was yesterday that I was watching a recap of the open. They actually did an over under about if there would be 11 different bag companies bags that would be thrown and so they would announce on the live feed, which company’s bags were being thrown. I wanted to let you know I saw that. Now those recaps are like four hours long so it would have been hard to catch that but I wanted to let you know that. Keep doing what you’re doing, man. I love it and I appreciate it and I love to watch the videos. Thank you so much.

Awesome vid. Just joined on Ko-fi! You said this weekend you’ll add more bags?

@ Nice! I’ll be copping a set no doubt

Yo Mike! I agree that the ACL live stream could do a better job of CONSISTENTLY giving bag info. I do remember when I started watching the ACL broadcasts on TV a few years ago, Trey did a good job about talking about bags at the start of each game. If they do that now, it seems more of an afterthought than intentional. While it seems like a small thing, I agree with you though, it can help us make a decision on what bag we might want to throw next. Keep up the good work and Happy Thanksgiving!

@MikesBags Nice... I grew up in rural MD. All of my friends bailed to be Ravens fans. Now I'm in Philly suburbs. Been a rough 20+ years lol. Hoping we're seeing a turn around.

Plus there needs to be bag clash rule. Watching the broadcast - often the bags are so similar, I can’t tell who’s bags were who

@MikesBags Ай бұрын

There is a rule for when they are on ESPN. When they are streaming on KZbin or Facebook, I think it's up to the players. I do agree that when they are on a broadcast court, the bags should different enough that they are easy to identify.

@swordzvalley243 Ай бұрын

The commentator from the ACL said that if the bag makers would pay them or sponsor them they’ll mention what bags the players are throwing. In a couple 😂last seasons KZbin tournaments

@CornholeSteve Ай бұрын

wow, really, thats crazy! they dont have to give a review or recommendation...

@MikesBags Ай бұрын

I have heard him say that before. The bag makers do pay the ACL. They pay for the stamp on the bags and they pay a percentage of all of their sales to the ACL. I feel like that should be enough to at least get a mention when one of their bags is being thrown on a broadcast court.

@robmeckley6012 Ай бұрын

It's strange you would say that the ACL doesn't mention what bags the palyers/teams are throwing before each match! I will respectfully disagree with that. I watch all the ACL Open livestreams, either on KZbin or ESPN+... Wally & Meesh, Wally & Jake. or Jake & Meesh, all three commentating pairings, before the game starts, mention the bag manufacturer and the series of bags each player/team is throwing.

@josephfireborn Ай бұрын

Wow. I had no idea how low the payouts were for those events. That is crazy. How do you make money playing if you have to pay for plane tickets etc? No offense etc to those guys or the ACL I just figured it would be 3-5k for first.

Been saying this for 2 years now. Makes zero sense to chase the Pro Card in the ACL. For what? Status? Spend thousand and thousands to get your card cause of traveling expenses, to finish in top 20 and make 150.00? Way more money in local scoreholio tournaments and frankly the competition is so good now you dont have to travel as much anymore

The ACL should allow winners/runners up from any Elite & advanced majors to play in Pro majors

a guy here in Canada at an Open use the Qualifier to play the ''Pro'' division and won it, he can't even get a free pass for the next one, he will have to qualify again ........

@howardradcliffe5848 Ай бұрын

Players should have jerseys or hats telling what bags they are throwing. Heck hold up a sign during a time out during live broadcast. The commentators are either, lazy or just don't think about it because it's not important to them. Maybe they're told not to promote a bag since they aren't paying for a plug. I'd donate money to the ACL if they could just get the board switches done in a timely manner. Ongoing problem. Lol It's obvious to most of us that they aren't even watching some matches. they are talking about other things, or other players, on the internet watching a different sporting event like football. Facts. This will probably offend some. However, staying on point is important to some of us.

ACL commentators ramble on about irrelevant shit while players are making great shots. Trey & Wally are great - but that Mish chick is just annoying

fire your accountant. LOL. You should have been able to write off the expenses to make the video i.e. the cost of the bags. Should have paid $0 in taxes.
