In the mind with Paul McBeth - Camp Hydaway Practice Round

[@davidmadill3699]

This is my favorite version of Paul, unscripted and just talking about the game he loves

[@gorocks93]

Paul, I started playing disc golf last year at 43 and I have watched dozens of videos to help me understand the game and improve. This is hands-down the best video I have seen. Having a world-class player walk us through a round, discuss disc selection, etc is HUGE. Watching pros do clinics and field work is nice but this is what has been missing. I hope more pros will follow your lead here. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@FoundationDG]

Glad you got a lot out of the video! We hope to release more!

[@Berean-rf6me]

Couldnt agree with you more! I'm in the same age range and been playing since '89, watched dozens of videos every month. This is a golden nugget for sure! Not just another video on how to throw a disc, or endless 3rd person commentary on a tournament, but more importantly how to approach the game better. The only other way to gain knowledge like this is to play with players much better than you. For me, that's hard to find in my rural area. Cheers to Paul and Foundation DiscGolf!

[@dickiebrewer168]

Who knew Paul could talk? This is the kind of thing that actually HELPS disc golfers. and coming from the world's greatest, you can bank on it. Thanks Paul! I sure hope you do more of these, please.

[@dickiebrewer168]

I know he talks, I was being coy. Any time you watch his latest videos with Hannah, she does almost ALL the talking. Just a poor attempt for me to be funny. I know Paul, and he is quiet, but will talk all you want if you talk first :))

[@austinseifts]

@@Kastled5 Not as good as Jerm. He usually rigid and quiet. Here is he comfortable and even showing a bit of Charisma. Not to say he doesn't lay down a lot of knowledge but typically he's dry and hard to listen to

[@ronburke8202]

I really appreciate how Paul discusses his thoughts of what disc, type of throw and outcome of all the throws. The whys and why nots. This is honestly one of the best instructional videos on disc golf I've seen. I will take his instructions on the mental game and incorporate that into the physical game and become a better player. Thank you very much Paul and Foundation Disc Golf.

[@genelowe9634]

I got Hooked on DiscGolf 20 months ago at the age of 69 while visiting my Son in Utah. The biggest factor helping to improve my game has been "PRACTICE" and being open to Suggestions from My Son and Friends along my Journey to Improve. Watching Paul's Practice Video has given rise to a much better way to grow my understanding of the different aspects in to playing and raising my game. Thanks PAUL and Foundation.

[@DarkBiCin]

Rewatching old vids like this. It cool seeing what goes through his head from tee to basket and basket to tee. Also remembering playing this course way back when and him throwing a putter on hole 2 was me throwing a driver.

[@everettmcdonald2088]

This is great! The best player in the world teaching how to think your way through a wooded course. I wish there was more of this from different players.

[@MusicIsGreat777]

Paul has become a lot more fluent and clean on the camera. Well done Mr Mcbeth!

[@the__________]

I thought the same thing, he's a bad ass dude..

[@ionlyhearwomps]

this is the only video you need to watch if you’re new to playing competitively. Pablo’s insight on how to play smart when something’s on the line is second to none.

[@rhinofist1]

This is the type of instruction that can actually help people with their game. This is great. Golf mental game is so hard and all these tips are appreciated! Thanks to you for shooting and thanks to PMcB for being a rad dude.

[@FoundationDG]

rhinofist1 right?! The mental side of the game is so tough!

[@joshuabarr5427]

Been watching DG content for years now, learned to like Paul's style, and am happy he's deciding to out out more personalized content this year. Great video! Calm, clean and informative. Just like your drive off the box! 🤟🤟🤟

[@1puttdiscgolf212]

I found watching Paul’s and Hannah‘s videos and Foundation Disc Golf videos are so generous. That you are able share so much of how to play well I can’t thank you enough. God bless, and Thanks! 🔴⚪️🥏😎

[@terablair628]

This is the best disc golf video on the internet. So much wisdom, so many tilde just awesome! I hope he does it again sometime, so helpful!

[@vincentfluty5120]

A buddy of mine goes to LU and got to play a practice round with Paul at Camp Hideaway. He plays disc golf, but isn't familiar with pros. He asked me if I knew who 'Paul McBeth' was and said he played a round with him. Some luck.

[@terablair628]

literally, the most helpful disc golf video on the internet

[@82394forrest]

Been playing 3 years now. Always a pleasure watching you throw. I've learned so much. Bought a bunch of new PM Discraft as well! Congrats on the move.

[@jpm9992]

One of the best how to videos ever made in my opinion from someone still learning. Need more of these! Thanks!

[@moif]

This is low key one of the most helpful #discgolf videos on KZbin at the moment. Information about technique is in excess, but tips about course navigation and learning from errors, etc - this is pure gold. I also admit that I am loving watching Paul talk about his new Discraft bag. Much love.

[@IniTrobeAnalysis]

Does it get old being such a bad ass? You're my hero Paul! Keep up the hard work, I can't wait to see your first 2019 win.

[@jeffro4kag206]

I'm finally discing down when I would always pull out a driver for more distance. This game teaches so much every round. Thanks for this Champ!

[@danielbaker4865]

This is the most I've ever enjoyed a disc golf video. Whoever gets pros to do this this year, especially on courses we haven't seen repeatedly as fans, is going to be on the cutting edge. This is a missing element of coverage I'm not even sure we realized was missing. Finally - probably the most comfortable Paul has looked of his recent videos. I like all of them, but this stream of consciousness and meticulous planning is a great style for him. Bravo!!

[@FoundationDG]

Daniel Baker thanks! Hopefully we can put some more out this year!

[@matthewjenkins9290]

Man this is great! Thanks for doing this. Would be great to get other pros on the same course just to see what others players think. Great job!

[@FoundationDG]

Matthew Jenkins hopefully we can make that happen!

[@derfox777]

Thanks Paul for walking us through this. Every little bit helps, and watching this has helped a lot.

[@ImYourHuck007]

What a stud, you'll be making world class champions out of us all yet! Thanks for sharing this wealth of knowledge that you've accumulated over thousands of hours of dedication. A lot of this professional thinking can be applied to all walks of professions in life so thanks again for sharing.

[@sethheasley9538]

We need more Paul off-the-cuff commentary, dropping some knowledge.

[@FoundationDG]

Seth Heasley right?!? Hope to shoot some more during this season

[@frolferdjent]

@@FoundationDG Agree with Seth! Paul's so well spoken when he's in his comfort zone. Good video shooting from Hunter and Co! Hoping to see more of Central VA course breakdowns!

[@jebwatson]

Your point about using repetitive holes to your advantage is insightful. I feel like a lot of players have the mentality that they should forget each shot as soon as they let it go, when in reality, you should be capitalizing on what you're doing right during that round and trying to make the adjustment to what you're doing wrong. Great video, gives a lot to think about!

[@nickpalmerarts]

I appreciate it, Paul! Anytime you guys make these videos breaking down strategic ways of getting closer and closer to the basket is awesome. Being a rec player, i have found tons of improvement by watching vids like these and talking to other players. I now spend a bit more time with each shot, working on my accuracy constantly, and scouting out the hole from my lie more and mapping out a plan for attacking it. I like your bit on percentages. Some times the risk on a lower percentage shot can be worth it for a bigger win if you need it in the game, but choosing the higher percentage shot is smart golf and increases your chance on success in the long run. Like in many games, if you have the resources (strokes on other players in this case) you can risk bigger or if you are in a position where you don't have much to lose you can also risk bigger on a shot choice, but to maintain a solid position in the game keeping to the known path just makes sense. These are things that just watching you guys play helps me to think about. Keep up the cool vids and good luck on the new season, Paul!

[@cdyfrye]

I just wanted to say this is the kind of content I love. new to the sport loving every second of it and this is tremendous help. Paul is awesome for this

[@MerleWorld]

Loved it!! We need more of this content. Jomez and Ccdg are great but they don't really do much about getting to know the players. We need more of this! Thanks.

[@danstraley1126]

Started playing in 1977.. got back playing in the late 90s .. going to get back to playing but what I love is course management and disc management.. this is a great examination of both

[@MakersTeleMark]

It's great to see this side of Paul. He's a really good teacher.

[@Episcleritis]

I like that as the disc is gliding down with the same slope of the hill, it's referenced as the hill 'pulling the disc down'. I like that verbiage. Good stuff. Thanks Foundation, thanks Paul.

I was wondering what that was as well

[@joelbirdsall4444]

Sasquatch!

[@mattfuller7663]

Very beneficial for someone who is working on their game. ...and who better to walk us through. Paul introduces concepts and questions I did not even know I should be thinking. Can't wait to use this new info next time out!

[@hacklemoose]

«Sometimes you just gotta swallow your pride and take the three». Another level for sure.. Very educational playthrough, love it. Thanks for taking time off to make this video. Wouldn’t mind another one.

[@300hiker]

Great video! A lot of useful info here, and it’s nice to see Paul in this casual setting instead of a tournament.

[@disccrazy6149]

This is awesome! I hope Paul (and every smart pro) continues this trend of sharing tips, training ideas, and course analysis breakdown. I really liked how he plays his misses for scramble practice. I imagine a lot of pretty serious players would throw 4-5 and just shag up the tree kicks.

[@bryanbrunson5387]

Love the idea behind this video! It’s awesome to hear how a world champ approaches the holes!

[@mitigationnation]

Just got my order in from Foundation Discs! Fantastic customer service by sending me updates along the way! Great Video Great service!

[@bvwol]

Thanks a bunch. Love the walkthrough from inside your head.

[@thomasdirksen391]

this is what I want to watch on youtube. keep doing these types of videos!

[@HumanityNeedsPeaceNow]

Thank you for this valuable lesson! The knowledge that you instilled in me throughout this video will most assured help me to become a better disc golfer. This is exactly what I needed to help take my game to the next level. Seriously.. "Thank you!"

[@jeffabercrombie167]

This is perfect Paul, appreciate the mental break down, now just need to throw like you.... lol

[@EugeeFGII]

Fantastic walk-through of the course with commentary from one of the best in the world, thank you so much! Love this content. I'm very thankful for you sharing your personal time like this!

[@pzmich53]

This is a great video, Paul. You did an outstanding job of breaking down what goes into shot decisions on an actual course. Thanks!

[@christopherfehl7512]

Hole 11: Deer! This is outstanding! Thanks, Paul for the time and knowledge you shared.

[@chrisjensen9709]

This is GOLD! Love the format. Love to see more of these.

[@alanxiong6438]

I always wonder what paul thinks when he play a hole. Love it! Keep more video coming.

[@fredbassett8662]

Great window into the psyche and depth of Paul's game. The approach to hole 9 was a thing of beauty. When he described the 2/10 glory shot on hole 10, I swear he was looking at me! I think I might play the percentages a bit more.

[@edpep43]

Professional advice from one of the absolute best!!! Thanks for the video Paul!! Disc Golf!!!!!!

[@jackcbr600]

It's stunning the amount speed he throws those forward facing approaches

[@roncrichton13]

Great breakdown, tips and advice. Dude has a lot of course cred to respect what he has to say. Thanks Paul

[@jon-patmyers]

Rad! Thanks Paul. Invaluable for people like myself who are off the beaten track.

[@grotto46]

Pleasantly surprised! I almost didn't watch it because I assumed it would be a 1/2 hour Discraft ad. Great video!

[@thomas4935]

Thanks Paul. Golf in general is a mental Game. Great to have a look in the way you think while practicing.....I Love that Game

[@jacobscull9090]

Play here alot...cool to see the pro's and con's for this course

[@zacreeves4149]

Thanks Paul. This is eye opening for sure. Is there a chance you might do one about how you practice putting?

[@unsilenced_dissenter]

Looks like fun course. Thanks for giving us a glimpse into the mind of the champ. Much respect!

Kickass video Paul. I'd love to see more of this in different areas of the country as you travel, it was some of the best tutorial style content I've seen. Best of luck this year!

[@TJ.Lewisdale]

This is awesome! Very happy to get this type of insight inside the mind of a champion! Thank you

[@MrSharkphoto]

Excellent! It's nice when you name the disc you are throwing. Maybe I should be throwing my Buzzz more often.

[@danacoleman4007]

thanks for the help, Paul!!!

[@jman6360]

This was awesone!! I would love to see more content with Paul so cool to see what he would and was goes threw the mind of a champion.

You’ll make a great dad someday Paul; keep up the great commentary, insights, and care about us, your fans.

[@ZeusTheGod-bd3bz]

Thanks for the upload! I got some great tips from this video and I’ve been playing for 2 years now

[@frolferdjent]

Great video! Excellent tips from Paul. I've played Hydaway once... It's a beastly wooded course up and down a mountain! I gotta get out and try it again. See if i can spot that deer on hole eleven again...

[@Hescottgame_TTV]

Awesome video paul. Hope to see more of your practice rounds..

[@matthewderyk2499]

I might actually start focusing on my mental game more during casual rounds with the homies. Cool hearing what a touring pro thinks about during a practice round. Thanks for the video!

[@timferguson1971]

This is great! It is fascinating to hear the thought process on shot selection. Thank you for doing this video!

[@Episcleritis]

This feels like a test run for a future Paul McBeth instructional series. Nice work. Add a catch cam.

[@discthrowingpastor2889]

This was awesome to watch. Love being able to read a pros mind during a round. Super helpful! Thanks for putting this out!

Drew Richardson We hope to release a lot of content with our team players!

[@adammajkowski4473]

I loved this video. It would be amazing if you jus brought a crew with you to film on some practice rounds. If you don’t want the other pros to try and take advantage of these tips it would be amazing to see these at local courses. I look forward to learning more from you on these! Don’t be afraid to do some of these in SE Michigan! We have a huge local disc golf community and I know everyone would be pumped to hear your thoughts on some courses. Thanks again for all you do for the sport! Ps. It is good to hear you so articulately explain your shots and thoughts. I love Ricky Wysocki as well but he isn’t the best at explaining things... we need more people like you to go through these videos.

[@sfincione2000]

14:51 For me, this was the most interesting advice. Taking the percentage play over the one that might seem the natural choice. More of these videos Paul. This is cool stuff.

[@newkidintown4019]

That's what I noticed too and think is a useful and a important hint and might save several shots per round. More tips like that!

[@MikkoTolonen]

Great stuff, this is what we have been wanting to see from you Paul. Keep these coming.

[@dwmichaels]

Thanks so much Paul & Foundation DiscGolf. I love these personal insights to a round of golf by any pro, but especially Paul. While you can spectate a round, you can't ask why this or why that. Little things which I'm sure are obvious to Paul now (take the most predictable shot was it?) aren't always obvious :) I loved the conversation about Paul liking to be aggressive vs lying up. I could 'like' everybody's comments, I agree with them all, but another "do more of these!" comment is always good, right? Wishing Paul some better luck in 2019 - some of those spit-outs have been brutal - and now I'll go click on the Foundation Discs link like a good boy and shop for plastic.

[@JulioBraza]

Great video! Awesome insight!

[@newtonhemphill9723]

[@jjbudinski8486]

"Look back at the hole." Wow, such an obvious thing to do but I have never done it, can't wait to try this tip. Thanks for the great tips Paul, and good luck in 2019!

[@warrenmassey1023]

This is awesome! Please make more! 👌

[@jimswofford]

Loved the video. Would like to hear more specific discs named, not just "fairway driver" or "mid." Some were named, and some holes none were named. I think it would give a better reference to the type of shot--and make Discraft happier. Yes, some of it is fan-boy curiosity. But it also makes a difference when you say "mid," do you mean straight ESP Buzzz, or bending Z Wasp.

[@timmiller8127]

Great point on choosing percentage shots vs. trying to park it. During casual rounds I almost always try the tougher shot to see it I can park it. It's more exciting that way! That said, if I was preparing to compete (as the video discusses), I'd want to try and reverse my shot selection to favor those higher percentage shots.

[@hotdogandahayride9823]

Cheering for Paul in 2019! I wish I had 1/10th his skill, strength and ability.

[@hamanncheese6945]

Awesome video, so much insight into thinking about the shot you should throw.

Sparka I think worst case scenario disc golf is a walk in the park. It’s the same with any sport honestly. If you want to play competitively you have to get on their level. Max I throw is 330 and I have a wonderful time stinking it up

[@docxen]

@@alightened I have a bad shoulder and play left handed...i suck but I love it.

[@jcburdette2]

it was great seeing Paul throw in a different setting. makes me like him even more knowing he can throw in tight wooden courses as well as throwing bombs on the hybrid golf courses.

[@timothyheimbach3260]

I think a big part of why Paul is so good is his versatility, he may not out throw the Eagles and Simon's but he can play a wide open course with them and still play a wooded course with the best of the technical players
