Kevin Jones In The Bag

Hey everyone! This is a quick look into my bag and the discs I'm using at the European Open! Expect a quick update here in a month or so about what has changed.

[@Eyedbythetiger]

Very cool of Vinny to send you a box. Best of luck with the new team, Kev!

[@kevinjones7007]

He’s literally the man.

[@jasonkress2896]

The instinctive hand-blow when you're holding your putters is hilarious!

[@sethamgardner]

Kevin personally thanking person by name who gave him each disc is so cool. Can’t help but root for him as the season goes on!

[@pamdespam854]

This is my favorite Athlete/DIsc sponsor duo now!

[@tsutamorisan]

KJ @ Innova just makes me smile so big 😊

[@crazybeardjones]

I saw that bag and immediately thought Jerm must be responsible! Such a cool colorway on such a sick bag!

[@triciatiger473]

KJ signature Invaders… yes please.. ❤

[@TherealPapaDogP]

Hell yes

[@MiguelEspinosaaa]

13:27 the emphasis on the “no flashing” lmaooo

[@brian6speed]

Innova could do a better job though. Some have no flashing while others it is left on.

[@kevinjones7007]

@@brian6speedthe more times a mold has been run, the more space between the bottom and the top of the mold appears. This is what causes flashing. And this is why innova has 10 destroyer molds.

[@owenmcdonald5806]

​@@kevinjones7007 as a machinist myself, learning this through Jesse from trash panda was awesome to figure out, it just shows that because prodigy was a much smaller business years ago, and were producing their own discs, they had to cut corners on saving money sometimes and unfortunately that came in the form of the molds not being properly maintained. The flashing happens to all companies, I've even had kastaplast and latitude discs I own have slight flashing, no company is fully safe, prodigy just had some of the worst of it because their quality control would let the discs with bigger flashing pass through

[@bensalemi7783]

​@@kevinjones7007Love a little insider knowledge. So many people don't understand the ins and outs of what makes injection molding a disc so complex.

Prodigy catching strays.

[@happybone1978]

Kevin!! Congratulations on your signing with Innova. This is HUGE. I honestly believe that this is going to be a big part of your disc golf career and only lead to more success. (Fun fact...I remember you and I and my nephew (Jordan Kennedy) playing at Bell Park back in the day. I think you were still in middle school at the time. I was the tall guy that uses the Turbo Putting technique.) Peace my bro!

[@kevinjones7007]

Heck yeah man. Thanks for keeping up with me!

[@DolphaysDiscGolf]

Love how every disc had a background and love the way team Innova has welcomed you. Wishing you the best of luck KJ for the rest of the season (though you probably won’t need it with an Innova bag!)

[@ryanhaggerty]

Love that you’re throwing Bosses.

[@kevinjones7007]

It’s my favorite mold in the whole lineup

[@JohnDubU]

Lots of love in that bag. I want to get my hands on a Whippet. Thanks for sharing.

[@samuelcooper3722]

Y'know Kev is a good guy when everybody is giving him the goods. Vinny absolute legend.

[@discjunkiesDGT]

this is a great review, cool to see you going with seasoned discs, you have some gems there...

[@big151redwest]

My wife and I made you a mini a few years ago, we gave it to you at Ledgestone in 2022. We saw you using it on coverage a handful of times. If you’ve lost it since then we’d love to make you another one.

[@SkeletorJenkins]

You're gonna love their baskets!!

[@glane254]

Vinny coming in clutch

[@BaysingersDiscGolfChannel]

So pumped to see you throwing a completely new bag! Good luck on tour! Let's see you grab some big wins with this new bag!!

[@theKluck]

Good luck Kevin. The Eagle Firebird and sidewinder combo is my jam. Glad to see you looking happy!

[@joepg1608]

Glad to see the Roc in the bag. often imitated never duplicated. Best disc ever made IMO

[@mccsnackin]

My fav innova disc lately has been the star TL3. Such a reliable flight in the woods / parks. I’ve picked up so many more birdies that used to elude me.

[@izbiq8052]

Kevin Jones goes innova…amazing! Looking forward to see you repping an awesome manufacturer Kevin. :)

[@austinmoser5056]

Kevin try the bullfrog, they are awesome putters, mid depth, flat, micro beaded. Super under-rated for both throwing and putting

[@kevinjones7007]

I will! I need duplicates of all the putter molds to try out!

[@mattrobinson7585]

@@kevinjones7007 don't sleep on the metal flake Dart. amazing disc

[@rageoid]

Cool disc origins, I'm a tad confused, thought Jeff Panis or Dave himself would fly out and give you 5 of everything !

[@kevinjones7007]

Most searching comes from people’s basements surprisingly.

[@BeltranK15]

KEVIN!!! SUCH GREAT ENERGY EVERYSINGLETIME!! Wish you the best !!!

[@jamesbenton4123]

So glad you left Prodigy! Now I can buy some of your tour disc.

[@MrCornaldo]

First Run PD!!! Best disc of all time!

[@theOcean41]

Stoked you are throwing Innova! Let's go!!!

[@martinortiz7058]

Mannnn Kevin’s using the champion max I want one now 🎉

[@soldieroftheway7979]

Bro with your throwing style you have to check out either the Katana or the Shryke. Get a Halo Shryke and a metal flake Katana and I bet those things bomb for you. Oh and you have to check out the Racer too just learning it still but so far it seems to be a great disc, especially for forehands

[@MegaLaban12345]

Love seeing you on team innova, and love hearing about all the love you’ve received from the community and players!

[@rainmakes]

If you like that big jerm boss you need to try his newest halo champ boss. I had a couple of the first halo big jerm bosses but then tried the halo champ and I now have like 7 and will be keeping my eye out for more. They're awesome os

[@kevinjones7007]

Good looks I have one and it is definitely more flippy than star

[@rainmakes]

@kevinjones7007 that's interesting for sure. The halo star bosses had overstability for sure but the first champ halo one was so much more os for me. The next couple I got were as well. I like the 2022 pink and white halo calvin destroyers too, and then a couple of the bosses if it gets crazy windy or I need big distance with the guaranteed fade. Looking forward to seeing you get dialed in. If I can get down to something like usdgc I may have a disc or two for you 👍🏼

[@JPry]

Try putting with the Aviar3. Not as deep as the regular Aviar, and not as overstable as the AviarX3

[@GrahamJohnson]

Love your firebird story. I had the exact same experience when I was around 12. Got my first ace with that baby!

[@JamesG761]

Jake Always coming in CLUTCH

[@soxzys4235]

I have weirdly enough ended up putting with invaders. It's flat, shallow, great in tailwind and sidewind but it's especially consistent into headwind imo. Just as you have found out Kevin, the dimensions are almost identical to the pa-3. And you've prob noticed it has less glide than the pa-3. - Xt plastic has the most glide and goes straighter. It is noticably more understable than the other plastics if you try to throw it off the tee. - Halo Nexus has the same stability and glide as star plastic. (I think they kept the halo Nexus & Nexus in some kind of cavity constraints while it sets. And you can feel it on the inside of the rim.) - Star is great for throwing and it's not as hard and slick as the halo star. - Champion Luster has the similar stability as star and halo Nexus when new. Some of the Luster plastic is so grippy you can almost putt with em, and some are just as slick and hard as the standard champion plastic. Some are flat and some are puddle top.

[@kevinjones7007]

Yo this is great info! I have some halo nexus waiting on me

[@revpgesqredux]

Don't forget the Griffin. Give it a try... Eagle like flight in a midrange... Can land it skipping to anyhzer or anywhere in between

[@Brownieblaze710]

I'm loving the Boss as well. Have a max weight Gavin Rathbun Bossman Boss that I pump out to 400 Forehand. Very stable run as well. Love em.

[@kevinjones7007]

So good!

[@m1erze]

Happy to see you on Innova! Was wondering where you would go, I remember you loved that Jokeri back when I played with you are the Augusta Classic. PDs are the shit, and Clint is the man! Quick tip, alls good but pop that camera and/or mic volume down on the input and boost it in the video editor and you'll be money! Tear it up!

[@kevinjones7007]

I think you are exactly right!! First time suing the new mic. Thank you!

[@michealnav13]

I started putting with invaders this year! I switched from alpacas. It was the shallow feel along with the flat tops that made me switch. Way more comfortable. I use DX plastic right now, but I have two XT’s that I’m probably going to switch to.

[@stephencarlson7297]

KJ, get a Tern. There's your really flippy 12 speed. Cheers

[@johnmitchum724]

He's right, it's like a beat in Destroyer out of the box.

[@th3f145h]

i'd also say most of the G Star Destroyers I've thrown are flippeeee

[@micah_lee]

Too flippy

[@kevinjones7007]

Im interested. When I’ve felt them before they don’t seem as fast as a 12 speed but hey. I thought the shryke was a 11 speed forever🤷🏻‍♂️

[@owenmcdonald5806]

​​@@kevinjones7007there's the shryke, tern, and the Mystere, I've found the mystere with 6 glide will have all of the distance a tern would have, but you also have to search for the domey ones, I have the flat Gstar prototype mysteres they would do barrel rolls for you lol

[@bradwurst8141]

Super happy for you and wish the best!

Finaly I found a friend who putts with invaders I’m not alone. The XT is the best dx isn’t the same!!

What a cool old school bag, maybe add a CE valk for rollers?

[@dominicpowell5501]

If you want a thinner profile Aviar look for some Valerie Mandujano tour series galactic aviars with the Texas foil. Noticeably thinner than any other aviar I’ve felt but a little more depth than the invader.

[@kevinjones7007]

Good looks!

[@Carrillo91]

Best of luck, Kev! Love watching you play!

[@JamesOwens-dd2oe]

You should try out a bullfrog for putting. More shallow than a kc pro, but still has a bead and fights well in the wind

[@ThePlanetNamik]

Yooo KJ! Awesome bag, lets get a win this year. Can't wait to see u on coverage

[@DiscoSafari]

Galactic Nexus Aviar Drivers might be the putter you're looking for. Very similar stiffness/tack as the KCs in your bag, but are much flatter.

[@isaacghareeb6751]

Clint Calvin might be one of the coolest dudes in the world. At river city open this year this guy pulled up to his tee time on a little motorcycle. Thing was sweet

[@brice27128]

Harder Park Disc Golf! Thanks for the shout out KJ!

[@waltdigi3570]

Kev you need to get some of the old Glo TL's. They hold up forever and have a little more finish than a regular TL. Lasers. Well...for a slower arm like me. Prob a perfect little hyzer flip disc for you. And would fit well in the bag.

[@TwoOneSe7en]

Oh hell yeah!! Another Invader putter guy!! I love a board flat thin putter. Try the Halo Nexus Invaders, bud!

[@oregonwoodelf]

Damn this is a primo Innova bag👏 Got hooked up with a lot of the classics!

[@soloryderrr]

Ive recently started aquiring some Rocs, they are cool discs! You should get your hands on a PD2 and see how you like those

[@Lavaflow1000]

Try a Rhyno for putting, nice and shallow with a very dependable flight.

[@JRBDGPRO]

Kevin Jones for Team Innova !!!! Love watching you play ; you look just like my friend Matt Murray lol You should try out the Star Colt for a putter ; and if you like/need overstable midranges the Star Gator and Star Caiman are amazing for backhands and forehands !!

[@Jono.]

Damn Jim Oates Boss is sweet. People really do love those Jerm bosses I guess

[@billthecrusher8283]

Cool bag! Firebird 2002 my 1st driver. Star Max you'd love

[@ItsAllGood_]

I'm kind of a putter freak. Got lots of putters from a bunch of companies. As far as Innova putters...Invaders are my favorite. I'm not sure what it is about Aviars...they just aren't for me. Also, bag a Star Corvette. I got two. I love them. Straight forever, fade left at the end. I got a real light weight Big Jerm Halo Boss that is somehow still a meat hook if you're interested.

[@umpthingdifferent]

I have liked KJ for a long time I'm glad he's glad he's finally with a competent sponsor sweet in the bag best of luck KJ 🤘✌️
