James's win absolutely counts.

[@seymourglass26]

Strategy is part of disc golf. If you want, say picking your tournament and paying for the airfare was a strategy that paid off with points and cash. Elite Series is Elite no matter where it is.

[@McSlobo]

Totally. If you are too lazy to participate, you lose. Can't win if you don't play. So, James won everyone else, also those who DNS.

[@vattten]

Saying it doesn't count is just outright stupid imo. He averaged 1056 golf and none of the other top contendors there could top him. Gannon won in Portland with 8 strokes while averaging 1059 and ricky's win in portland wasn't that far off with a 1065 average

The field changes the strokes are not the same. The ratings are not the same casual take.

[@tpd1399]

Discrediting someone’s success is serious jealousy. I’ll be rooting for James to stick it to them even more

[@DrMcKay66]

I say well done James. Courses over here aint easy.

[@tattooedjohnson]

Give innova credit. Disc golf would not be the sport it is without them. And they aren't overpaying pros just for street cred like discrap

[@McSlobo]

And Innova has good discs you can buy anywhere whenever you want. Any top pro could assemble bag from of their disc lineup and win.

[@pinaten]

Overpaying??? You want pros to get payed less😂

[@bsenkiw]

It's moot, not mute. And why is the McBeth ad twice as loud as the rest of the video?

[@careyIScarey]

😂 don't know why that drives me crazy as well. Love the guys, but that is nails on the chalkboard.

[@skatterbug]

As long as I can get A2s, I don't care who makes them.

[@obscurereference6298]

Innova is Pokerstars Prodigy is Full Tilt

[@dillydillysworld]

He beat Calvin and Ricky at the same event that’s enough said.

[@flo-bezee9547]

you should rethink your clickbait titles... Its kind of fucked up.

[@michaeutech9201]

it's been fun watching this channel grow!

[@willymontes6692]

Good win , Proctor. Well deserved.

[@jasonurroz570]

I love the Disc Golf Bro Tour!

[@zacharyturner7554]

Bet ya a dollar Proctor grabs another before the year is out.

[@eric6504]

Happy Friday! 🥏🕺

[@Chris.Davies]

Why not specify the RPM Helix 2 basket, with 14 spokes and 34 chains for all DGPT events? It's by far the best looking and best catching basket. Period.

[@markmcgarity]

in your opinion, period.

[@thetupe7]

Of course there is only 3/10 top 10 dgpt point holders because there is like 6 european players touring tf is the problem lol

[@dehavendiscgolf]

Fucking clickbait lol I used to love this channel but what is this…? I’m a huge Proctor fan I’m from Northern California a few hours north of Santa Rosa. I can even admit that while it sucks there wasn’t as strong of a field as a US DGPT event, he still beat multiple top ten players and world champions. Wysocki, Pablo, Heimburglar, Conrad, Anttila and that’s just off the top of my head. It wasn’t like he only beat a couple guys and they had an off day. Dude was having the putting performance of his life and shot an average of 1056, I just had the rated round of my playing career so far and shot a 1023 as a MA1 961 dork and the thought of shooting like 5 strokes better for three days in a row is absolutely bonkers. Homie shot 1055+ average to win a friggin tournament, that’s absolutely insane and very similar to what it takes on the US tour. This wasn’t a fluke, great performance, great win, and super happy as a big Proctor fan and also very stoked to see everyone here validating my thoughts as well.

[@OjaiBonsai]

I’m not that smart but a WINS A WIN

[@davidrobinson3161]

If you beat Paul, Eagle, Vinnie, Ricky, and Conrad (not to mention Anttilla and a few of the other Euro players) it's legit. Also, that spit out for Paul was a fluke seeing that Proctor and Saarinen won the event with C2 and C1 putting that was just better than almost everyone else. Those baskets catch pretty well. No complaints on the course I installed them in here in Portugal. Could they be a bit better? Yes. So far that's the case for ALL the baskets on the market.

[@coreydempsey4660]

James had to leave the country to get his first W

[@michaeutech9201]

i think James is the best putter on tour.

[@dannyhagedorn4803]

Are there no basket regulations? I'd assume that they would all have to be the exact same

[@brianb6969]

I'm half way into this. Whats the Issue?

[@georgejetson1379]

Someone forgot the 'MOOT' button... ;)

[@NRafa7]

Obviously it counts it just might not be as impressive because this tournament basically is like a silver series

[@seymourglass26]

Does an Ezra have an Elite series win? I'd bet on an Ezra or a Gossage if that's the case.

[@greezball]

Which Ezra.. Aderhold or Robinson? Neither if my memory serves me right

[@seymourglass26]

@@greezball Honestly, I could see either pop off 3 big rounds, so that's why it was phrased a little oddly.

[@brianb6969]

I watched it. Proctor took them all Down.

[@tattooedjohnson]

How about letting the pros earn it and have the sponsors put that money into the prize pools or equipment upgrades or make the products affordable? 40 retail for a disc...please. That actually sandbags the sport not grow. You wanna pay Paul 10 years million year and then he dissappears....James Conrad makes 1 shot...he deserves 5 year contract....cmon

[@nickmarin7249]

moot*

[@yujinara462]

So it’s just like regular golf some pros take some tourneys off and others play and then all show up for the majors I don’t see a problem with that at all the only problem is needing to protect the fpo men should not play in womens division I don’t care if he hasn’t won yet shouldn’t be allowed in the first place

[@moondogg_monte]

Honestly, In the Atheltic Professional Field, taking whatever artifical drugs it is to change your body type and hormones should be looked at the same as steriods. The drugs aren't performance enhancing but playing against girls, Her difficulty of opponents became easier. Skeptical if she's even taking hormonal drugs. Shes in the FPO now, so Why countinue taking and developing a Lesser physical capability than your competitors 😅

[@trev3971]

The vast majority of disc golfers have zero interest in the pro game. Innova's model has worked from the beginning and will continue to do so, even as the industry continues to contract from the Covid boom.

[@k.squared]

If, say, top-30 Europeans were consistently playing in USA, it's very likely all of them would push out established US players out of their DGPT tournament spots and the Tour Top-20 would be very different. So the reality is that all those mostly all-American tournament are more or less as limited in showing who's the best as these mostly all-European tournaments are. And, btw, there are pro-tour level players in other regions of the world (apart from the North America and Europe) as well.

[@wtforce5512]

Ya this is crap. Don’t talk shit about James

[@thelegendarye2430]

I wouldn’t say it counts. But that’s just me. Always pulling for proctor but it feels very anticlimactic that it happened at an event with very few top competitors

[@DrMcKay66]

US players likes park courses mainly. Over here its mostley wood courses so maby its that. It was a pretty great gang that was in this tournament but many got busted and got low scores.

[@thelegendarye2430]

@@DrMcKay66 true. We have some wooded tour courses in the states too but less of them probably. Also I assume the discs fly differently overseas. I’m not hating at all I just wish it would’ve been a different way for him to do it. He’s been so close here in the states as well that it feels weird

[@DrMcKay66]

@@thelegendarye2430 We are coming strong in Sweden now cos i see at both courses here in my town that its getting more and more bizy 😂 Its 4,7 and 4,2 rated courses. I do like wood courses better myself aswell cos i see it a bit boring to just throw on open spaces with some gaps. I hate trees but at the same time i learn to aim better.

[@thelegendarye2430]

@@DrMcKay66 I prefer wooded as well. I live pretty close to idlewild which is a good mix. I go play it sometimes but I have some pretty good courses a lot closer. Also, hope I didn’t come off as rude or anything. There are some excellent European players. Antilla, semerad, Tamm, Makela, just to name a few. But a lot those guys weren’t there either. That’s why it felt a little depressing for lack of a better word

[@DrMcKay66]

@@thelegendarye2430 No no, no hating here 🤗 I thought that Mcbeth and Wysocki would do better then they did but that course at Ymer aint a picnic trip 😜🏆

[@beansontopofbeans]

Y'all are goofy.. I'm going to design a basket that will solve all you cry baby's problems when putting and submit the patent to the DGPT
