Day 13/30 Throwing MVP... I Think I'm Figuring Things Out. - Ep.10

[@BlitzDG]

I think it's cool that the high spin/speed ratio on your throw helps you control flippy discs, but also keeps discs like the stabilizer straight for longer! That disc seems like it just clicks.

[@jt422]

Brod, you’ve gotta come up North and play Raptors Knoll in Aldergrove, Canada. It’s only 5 minutes away from the border and it’s a top class course!

[@DolphaysDiscGolf]

It’s definitely more cinematic!!! There’s a reason it’s the #1 course in BC

[@MrJubilee55]

Nice to meet you after our rounds! Very cool to see your take on Bellis. Those dudes on 17 were super cool and let me throw no problem. Looking forward to seeing your impression of Mossy!

[@DolphaysDiscGolf]

This was one of my favorite videos ever. I love this course. Too bad you couldn’t film 17- that’s where I got my first ever birdie. And as far as the par 4’s go. Yes they’re par 4’s. Not all of us have cannons for an arm like you. Great video and I’m so happy to see this course memorialized as it most likely will not exist in 2-3 years due to development.

[@1Minioner]

One thing to point out about the hand leading vs the elbow leading for hand whipping action on your putts: Hand leading is less movement, fewer biomechanics to control, and therefore will be more consistent of a release and easier to execute in tournament play under pressure. But like you said, with that comes reduced power. Just something to be aware of. I personally have a hand leading putt when I'm inside circle and an elbow leading whippy putt for outside circle.

[@camdenburgess4369]

I think most local guys play em as 4's just because it's easier on Udisc. But I think a few guys made an alternate layout with different teepad locations to make it a tougher course. Haven't given it a shot but might be a decent way to make the course tougher without having to just change pars. Been loving the MVP series and watching you tear up the local courses!

[@mikkelhong1002]

I can speak to the par 4s as I designed the course. 13 is par 4 because we aren't allowed to cut any of the trees. We already have an easy course in Cornwall and a hard course in Mossy. Bellis Fairways is meant to bridge the gap and give players that aren't too good but need a little more challenge than Cornwall provides. Also, there aren't any easily accessed courses in the immediate area with par 4s, and I like that you have to be a little more strategic with your shots, especially if you don't have a cannon. And, par is just par. There have been some heater rounds out there but the course record is still -17, so no one has blown out the course yet. The history of the course was an abandoned 20 acres of land that housed multiple homeless camps, including a shoplifting/drugs trading depot. I called the owners and asked them if they'd like to have people using their property for something positive. They liked the idea of a disc golf course and gave the green light. We cleared over 4 tons of garbage off the land and installed the baskets less than 6 months after that first phone call. It's now the busiest course in Whatcom with over 12,800 UDisc rounds recorded since May of 2023. Anyway, loved the video! If you ever want to make a video with me (or any of the other course designers in the area), I'd love to (and could hook you up with the other designers).

[@josephkebbekus5780]

I think a nomad vs ion for putting would be a good vid comparing the only beaded mvp putters. I know the pilot/ohm has a micro bead, but as someone who throws pilots and putts wizards they definitely don’t feel like a beaded putter

[@andrewgalamb2395]

Brod, you moved your putting reach back to the right and wonder why you're missing left. By letting your elbow lead you're effectively coiling your wrist more and that adjusts your aim in the opposite direction.

[@danieljohnson792]

Yo Brod you gotta be forehanding that stabilizer!!! It’s moneyyyyy for touchy flick approaches 😎

[@broderic]

@@danieljohnson792 feels like shit in a forehand grip 🫣

[@connorobrien2512]

Once you play Mossy Roc I feel like you’ll like Bellis’s difficulty level. It’s a great step up from Cornwall and if you want gnarly par 3s mossy has all that you could ever want!

[@DolphaysDiscGolf]

I feel like every hole has teeth at mossy. Well except maybe hole 14 in the winter pin location. Other than that one they all make you earn the birdie. Definitely more cinematic too

[@shawnwhite1645]

Good video. I agree with the traffic/city being distracting at times, but perhaps your lack of focus was just due to being sick and running on DayQuil. BTW, I'd call that little hill "a mound". Weird how you went from banging those chains w/the Atoms in the last video to missing a few too many today. Hope you find the MVP putter that works best for you before this challenge ends.

[@ChrisSeitz-c3p]

I love how the disc golf community worked with the land owner and took that piece of land back from the Junkies making it into something positive.

[@TheStudMuffins328]

I wana see you try for -18 at vanderyacht!

[@broderic]

@@TheStudMuffins328 I think I could put 18/18 tee shots in circle 1 out there relatively easy Buuuut making 18/18 putts is probably not happening 🫣😂🏃🏽‍♂️ maybe I’ll try one of these days

[@scottgardner8126]

Putt with the eclipse pixel. Try it. I accidentally starting using it as my main putting putter. Made a few. Made a few more and I just have a ton of confidence in it right now. My stacks of atoms, anodes, ions, marvels, judges, and notion are jealous.

[@Justinbartram1991]

After going through all the mvp putters, Nomad is the one that felt best. Hand feel is so important.

[@HungryHippos69]

get well soon. i want to see a nerdy round with 3 putter throws per hole.

[@finnmccann446]

Have you played raptors knoll just across the border in langely? Top 5 course in canada (it was ranked #1 a couple years ago)

[@benharrison5816]

I like my Electron Atom. I putted with the cheap beginner Aviar for quite a while, and then picked up a glow Penny Putter and used that for a long time, so I got used to a shallow beadless feel. Putters are very personal, once I feel like one is working I'll try to stick with it for a long time.

[@bathtubpajama]

I missed why you moved from the Envy as a putting putter. You were doing great with it!

[@broderic]

@@bathtubpajama all the MVP people bullied me into using the atom because they said it’s a better “beat in envy”

[@WesleyMontgomeryMusic]

BRING BACK PINK ENVY BROD 💪🏻😤🔥

[@Scott-discs]

Does Johnny do the intro cover as well? Followed the links in the description. Helluva vibe

[@zachthiessen624]

Stoked to hear what you think about the ion, and hoping that you like it. Cool to see you playing courses I've played in Bellingham. Come to Raptors Knoll in Langley (just above the border!)

[@alexcouch9034]

Have you had a chance to swing by Far From Par yet? They're a disc golf shop right outside downtown BHam that popped up last year!

[@DolphaysDiscGolf]

The best people ❤

[@jamesonklein9363]

You’re putting with the wrong hand bro

You should give the Glow Reactor a shot, Basically a hex with 1.5 fade no turn

[@killoquintana5120]

Best mvp only series on the tube. You putt with the wrong hand too btw

[@Joeaxtell]

Just putt with pilots already 😜

[@Colbus570]

Great video man! Bellis is Soo much fun! Gotta check out Blaine or Mossy roc for some true PNW disc golf 🤘 loving the series man 👏

[@dreamtheater2k6]

I put with a beat in envy and neutron proxy, but I change it based on the wind and how i feel that day it seems like. Would recommend a good beat in envy though.

[@thriftyfit4879]

Chris puts on Thursday night glow around at Bellis if you're ever interested in coming out. It's stroke play with a $5 buy-in and starts at 6 pm.

[@avertaze6604]

Another excellent cinema 🤝

[@jasonedens3778]

Fun course, gets kinda swampy when the rains kick in.

[@nateworzalla6773]

as a marvel putter currently I do have 2 nomads I want to try out as the pixel just feels a touch too deep for putting.... That being said I'm also gonna be pissed if i like them more and have to switch putters again 😂

[@broderic]

In all honesty I think my biggest dislike of mvp putter is the plastic. It’s not a bad plastic but the way it works for my putt/hand feel is not what I’m looking for. The marvel IMO comes in some of the best feeling plastic you can get for a putter🤷🏽‍♂️

[@nateworzalla6773]

@@broderic Not wrong dude, I honestly just need to get some some soft plastic for winter and I'll be set. I used to putt with the Link but the lack of plastic is what made me move away from it...

[@colinbailey5505]

Try playing the course sidehand only when you are feeling better! Hole 18 is a super fun forced turnover

[@redsleaves]

Putt with Nomads. I also tried with Atoms but the Atom is a cursed mold that cannot go into the basket on course. Then I tried the pixel but it was too deep. Nomad was just right.

[@trevormarcotte1525]

Need to try the electron soft nomad if you don’t like the feel of the atom but like the flight

[@Completelycorydiscgolf]

I really like the stabilizer

[@ethanb456]

Definitely gotta try the Canada courses

[@remysmith6021]

Currently putting with a pair of cosmic neutron entropy's, whatever's clever to dial it in 🤙

[@TrevinCervenka]

Have you tried putting with the electron pilot?

[@AGADiscGolf]

Love the content brod. Glad to have some Washington golf out there. Do you plan to play fort stielacoom at any point?

[@alexsutton7179]

Brod you gotta throw a Detour big dog you won’t regret it 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@novapunkx]

Call that a KZbin par. 😂

[@Baking_baked]

Are you not throwing the Hex much because you already know it’s in the bag so you are trying other things? All your best shots this series to me have been Hex and inertia yet you barely throw them which makes me think those are decidedly bagged going forward…. Will further add, your putting was bang on point with the envy and to me it’s the winner. i throw an ion only b/c i can’t get envy’s where i am but seems to be the money disc for your hand. . My ion is more for approach/long putting though.

[@POWORDISC]

That course looks fun

[@Trainman37]

I disagree with the 400ft par 3. If you are a MA1 or Open player, sure, but the VAST majority of casual "Saturday Warriors" do not throw 450 on average. Why not have a "dual" Rating on a tee, just say "challenging route, par 3, normal route, par 4". It's actually quite disheartening to newer/casual players to only ever take bogeys, and invites injury for people who don't have proper form to throw farther than they can/should to try to get a "par 3" 400ft flat pin placement. Also, Is your sweatshirt inside out, or is that just a really weird style sweathshirt? lol. Liking the mini-series! Keep up the work and feel better soon!

[@DolphaysDiscGolf]

100% agree with this. I still have not scored a 4 on hole 2 at Bellis. Parred the other 3 par 4’s but have yet to birdie any of them.

[@zachmccall4300]

Dang - Realizing I shouldn't throw my Trail til I can throw it like that

[@akselakesson9796]

have you tried the "runway" for an overstable mid?

[@RUNE-66]

It's not even a skill thing anymore, it's just being an idiot thing. 😂😂😂 I just love you dude. Know the feeling. 😬

[@Soupkid91]

If you don't like the ion because the bead is too pronounced, the anode has a baby baby baby bead you may like. One more beaded option for ya
