I love this topic. I have a bunch of unique molds, but that's because I exclusively buy used discs and rotate them in and out based off how their current stability. It's cheaper to buy used, and there's tons of like new discs in used bins, but I prefer premium used discs that have the off the shelf stability beat out of them. Better grip than slick new plastic as well.

Brian brings a level of professionalism to the game that is very appreciated.

I agree with a vast majority of what Brian says, particularly when considering what type of thrower are you/do you want to be and when comparing your backhand to your forehand discs. I have a bunch of discs that are forehand or backhand only. Where I differ is particularly for beginners or people who aren't giant backhand arms, understable discs are your friend and stability is relative. Don't be afraid to lean into understable discs even very understable discs, there's no trophy for who throws the most stable discs, and the stigma around understable discs is totally baseless, like you're not as much of a disc golfer if you throw a Mamba or an Orbital. Throw what suits you, and if that's the most understable driver on the market, to hell with "convention" or "disc golf bag theory" just learn how to throw that disc well and know when wind is going to effect your intended line. Right? Other than into headwinds, objectively understable discs will fly farther, straighter and more easily, which is exactly what most disc golfers actually want and need in their bag. Some people throw harder, play in constant wind or whatever and don't like them, that's fine, let them throw stable discs, but don't be afraid to throw understable and hyzer flip all things being equal.

Glad to see this series continuing! Watching Brian helps because I'm also left handed. I know it doesn't really matter, but it just seems to click more.

[@JIMWESTDG]

I'm a lefty also and totally understand what you're talking about in regards to it just "clicking" a bit easier lol. Brian is such a cool guy 🤘

[@DG-BB]

You speak clearly and are concise. Thank you for these teaching lessons.

Absolutely great videos, Brian - all of them! I'm a mold maximalist and I throw every disc forehand and backhand. What I am is a slot min/maxer. I want one mold per slot, and if it somehow beats into a less stable slot, it may become a backup. But I throw only production discs that I can get easily enough - with few exceptions - those usually falling into utility slots. But I often have backups for those, anyways. That said, it takes years for me to wear any disc down to where it moves to a completely different slot.

I absolutely love these videos and are super helpful! I take the knowledge and apply it on the course and almost instantly see results! I Love Discraft ❤

Fairways: Alfa Discs Atlantis - Understable Alfa Discs Cosmic - Stable / Main Workhorse BH/FH Mids: Alfa Disc Apollo - Stable Mint Discs Bobcat - Overstable Putters: Innova Aviar3 - Approach Alfa Discs Snoopy - Main Putter These are my main 6 discs, so it was great to hear the advice in this video. I am on the right track. I have two molds of my main throwing discs. The confidence advice is so extremely important & true. Great video. Thanks Brian!

Brian you have found your thing. Great job - keep these coming.

[@mercthelurk11dg]

My go-to disc are simple: '21 TS Luna 20yr Buzzz FR Athena Horizon Cloudbreaker Absolutely love that you pointed out the "...throw whatever disc you are most confident with no matter the whole length" idea. So many people need to hear this. I try to tell my friends this all the time. Just throw what you're best with. Whatever you can consistently execute with. Don't worry about who's throwing a slower/faster disc than you...

[@NathanMitre]

The way I simplify: never throw sidearm 😂

I'd rather rely on raw power discs on the tee that are molded like the wing of an F1 race car. High speed, low glide, understable. Pitching a flip will make up for the glide. Practically, a rotary saw blade. Variable weights to factor wind. Fairway. Variable overstability and less speed. Low to mid glide. Probably a bit heavy. Not so much a saw blade as it should be a 4-point shuriken. Covering distance while gaining control. Mid-range. Excessive aerodynamics and variances to stability. Mid glide. Heavy. Control on approach while looking to hit the circle from distance. Putters. Variable weights, glides, and grips. 1 or 2 speed. Solid neutral stability. Throwing knives. What kills me is despite the research, they NEVER performed.

I appreciate that you speak English. Great video
