PRACTICE ROUND W/ ISAAC ROBINSON

[@laurar1879]

Calvin was pretty clutch the way he took down the $50,000 skins match.

Drew, you ask the best questions in these videos. I watch so many practice rounds and your series has a special feel to it that, for me, makes them stand out among the rest. They have an almost JRE like feel to them. Thanks so much for this content!

good video yet again, love seeing all these great players as guests. There are some times when you ask questions, when i wish you'd keep it a little shorter and let them answer, instead of trying to kind of thoroughly explain the question, but maybe thats just me... keep it up!

Great Content again, Drew. Thank you !

[@mindlander]

This might be the best content in disc golf.

[@SixSided]

I can't wait until the "open" courses start challenging players in the same way northwood does. I'm not a course designer so I don't know, but I feel like it wouldnt be too hard to tighten up some of the landing zones, increase the par count, and put the greens and baskets in more risk / reward spots on open courses.

[@ShawnSchulz]

Agreed. OB, mandos, and distance.

[@benjatta]

consistency > 2 majors. consistency is way more impressive than "lucking out" 2 majors.

[@mikiah530]

So many butt hurt Vinny fans up in here, do you really think that Calvin is oblivious to the situation and he needs you to protect him? People citing stats, ratings, average finish, and blah blah. Clutch is not a statistic but you know it when you see it. McBeth worlds 22’ hole 17, clutch. Conrad holy shot, mega clutch. Both those show up in the stats as throw ins and we don’t quantify the clutchiness of a situation. Isaac clearly acknowledges Calvin’s greatness and everything else said was based in truth. Keep up this great content Drew, imo this is the best disc golf series in recent frolf tubes.

[@thefriesens1071]

Yeah, and it's not necessarily permanent. Look at Barela. He couldn't get it done. One win and boom! They're probably talking more about majors because Calvin has won other tournaments, but he'll figure it out. One major and the clutchness will appear I think.

[@LSfan22]

Enjoyed the video Drew! I must admit I'm team Calvin for POTY 2023. With as many insanely good players as there are out there, being in the mix and placing top 5 or 10 seemingly EVERY SINGLE tournament of a season.. to me proves that Calvin was made of some different stuff than the long list of players who could have hot streaks but also place really poorly often. Especially for individual sports like disc golf when you're competing against 100+ other players and it can'treally ALL be boiled down to "win or lose" when you'retalking about someone's skill in the sport. That being said, there is something to be said for being in contention and being able to clutch up and take home the win when the pressure is on. Like Isaac said, is POTY for "who was most dominant overall over the season's average?" Or "who took home the most majors?" Up for debate.

If you’re around the top that often and don’t win, you won’t be remembered by clutching up for 3rd. Sure, it’s better than coming in 40th, but it’s not a win.

41:30 Calvin moment for everyone.

[@stevenramseyjr2032]

In reasoning that Isaac should have been 2023 POTY over Calvin, because Isaac won majors, that reasoning also says that Corey Ellis (Euro Champ) and Kyle Klein (USDGC Champ) should have been POTY over Calvin. But I have never seen anyone argue for Corey and Kyle's cases like that. Keep these interview rounds going, Drew! They're a big plus for disc golf posterity.

[@thefriesens1071]

Probably because he won 2.

[@stevenramseyjr2032]

@@thefriesens1071 But everyone using majors as a sticking point says it's because every player would rather have a season with at least a major win, rather than multiple non-major wins. And Kyle won a major and an elite last year, to Calvin's 2 elites and a silver. But Kyle still got no consideration for POTY over Calvin.

The defending champ idea is so silly. I hate it. Also, no sugar (or low sugar) for a week vs a month and beyond is a big difference. Should try doing the same with carbs or gluten. Anything inflammatory. Even if you ‘don’t notice it’, it affects you.

[@kingdavey90]

Oh man 😅

[@stevenramseyjr2032]

He got off to a very similar sluggish start last year, too, missing some cashes... before nabbing a top-10 in the tourney leading into Champions Cup in both seasons.

[@mbts500]

I don't think -5, -5, -5 will be top 10. Everyone is just so good at this point

[@randyn1080]

It is a hard course, but I agree. Also, It's a 4 rounder I believe. I think course record is 8 or 9 down? I wouldn't be surprised if someone came out and shot that once or twice while averaging around 7 down. These pros are playing so hard so far this year.

[@DrewGibson]

Well there’s only one way to know lol

[@dopetone]

I enjoy hearing the 2 guys who pop off 2x, defending their inconsistencies. You guys play the same tourneys as Calvin, AB, Gannon… you have opportunities to be clutch or “unclutch”week in and week out too. Ask Simon, who has won more tourneys in the last 2 years than anyone, how much he attributes that to breaks going his way, or if he’s the best player.

[@DrewGibson]

I think you’re looking too far into his remark. I didn’t ask the question he just said that BUT it’s an opinion and he can share it?

[@jackengle7780]

Gotta love Calvin drilling putt after putt Sunday at DDO to win it just 12 days after this video

[@danielberrett2179]

I wanna Putt Like Isaac

[@mvmntartist]

How is finishing inside the top 10 at almost every tournament not clutch? In DG, there are soooo many clutch moments that are not the final putt of final drive or final round. Just being in the top 10 and putting pressure on the best players every week is clutch AF. I think the only winning two and being out of contention for most of the year is decidedly NOT clutch. And Drew, you had a chance to be clutch against Nathan Queen, and you came up short. Queen came in clutch AND had to do so through 4 (I think) rounds.

[@DrewGibson]

Womp. Womp. I made 800 feet worth of putts that round 😂 pretty clutch. Nathan just outplayed me. Nothing you can do about that.

[@mvmntartist]

@DrewGibson Right, it was one of the most epic battles. Nathan and you were on fire. The argument that Calvin didn't deserve it because of the Majors doesn't pan out in my eyes. Yes, Majors are important, but the ability to be in the hunt week in and week out is a proven metric of being a player that puts pressure on the other players to step up makes the game better. Which to me makes Calvin's player of the year valid.

[@ScottSmith-vc5vf]

Drew. Learn to just ask a question with out explaining. Constructive criticism.

[@davidjones3139]

Seems a little arrogant for Isaac to claim that nobody cares about a silver series win (Referencing Calvin's win at Texas State's last year). Would he tell that to his brother, who's most important win so far has been a silver event?

[@stevenramseyjr2032]

Various top players, including Calvin and Gannon, have made it publicly known that they do not give much weight, if any, to their Silver wins or high Silver finishes. (It wasn't a win, but Bradley Williams left his 2nd-place Blue Ridge trophy in his hotel or temp house last year.) A couple of exceptions would be Ezra R. and Ella's Silver wins last year, because it got them onto the official DGPT event scoreboard. However, those events had extremely weak fields for being DGPT sanctioned. But Ezra did beat Matty O and rated 1170+, indicating that he might have decimated anyone who would have played that one. Ella's win, on the other hand, was in a field of 7 and rated in the 950s, which would be about 20 strokes behind a 3-round DGPT FPO winner this year. But, it counts, so that's good for her.

[@winstonsmith8082]

Calvin can't be World Champ throwing Innova. Once he changes sponsorship it will come 🫴🏾

[@joeweber7834]

Isaac is 1000 percent right. Even though he didn’t say he should’ve won player of the year, he definitely should have. If u ask any pro they would have taken Isaacs year over Calvin’s. Majors are worth at least 2 regular tourneys if not more. And when it’s all said and done, people remember majors.

[@davidjones3139]

I disagree. Yes any player would rather have Isaac's season, however from a "player of the year" perspective: Calvin was 1st in Fairway hits, parked, C1 in reg, and C2 in reg. Birdie or better on OVER HALF THE HOLES HE PLAYED. His average finish was well within top 5. Average round rating of 1051.5 If you ask me a pro would rather have Isaac's season, however Calvin's season was more impressive and more deserving of player of the year. Calvin is not as clutch and didn't take down a major but I think he deserved it.

[@JustinWayneDawg]

Calvin had me on my toes every mf tournament. People can't seem to understand that everyone who isn't Calvin is a pro and extremely tough to beat. Absolutely insanely consistent; so yes, he deserved POY. When Isaac was on he was absolutely stellar. That basically sums up what they said, and I agree. Calvin wasn't "clutch" and that's no offense, he was better than everyone week in and week out, but when Isaac won he won big. But none of this now matters because Barela is POY unless a miracle happens. (Which it COULD!) I love disc golf.

[@stevenramseyjr2032]

Should Corey Ellis (Euro Champ) or Kyle Klein (USDGC Champ+) have finished ahead of Calvin for POTY?

[@benjatta]

the POTY should be the best player that year, the best player that year is the one with the most points who consistently place in the top. Calvin was hands down the player of the year

[@ggmattmartin]

This is exactly why worlds is broken. One tournament deciding the outcome of who is a world champion is absolutely ridiculous. And now dudes way in his head about how good he actually is. Talking smack about the highest rated player in the world consistently year by year. And I like how you started the sentence "he can take it down".
