Mind Bender vs Mako3 vs Buzzz SS - Straight Midrange Battle!

[@shanaman23]

ayyy here's the mind bender video! the content just keeps getting cleaner and cleaner and better and better man. Keep it up!

[@BodanzaDiscGolf]

Thanks! Will do!

[@afaggion1997]

Absolutely fallen in love with this channel in the last couple weeks. Grade A material, mate, thanks for entertaining. 👌

[@BodanzaDiscGolf]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@fveafsw]

Clash Discs Berry has taken the straight midrange spot in my bag and I'm loving it!

[@jlb122587]

The buzzz ss is my favorite mid. Super clean release and a beautifully slow turning disc. Let’s see a firebird vs raptor vs felon comparison

[@BodanzaDiscGolf]

currently own like 1 of those and it's light and beat in but I'll work on getting my hands on em to compare! ...I think I'm going to need to find a retail sponsor so I don't blow all my money on discs!!!! lol

[@isaachibma6803]

Add a lat 64 pioneer to that mix

[@bearislandjosh5279]

I really really like the disc compare and contrast rounds you've been doing. So very much better than just somebody throwing them each in a field. A whole round just tells us so much more

[@mtnman713]

After watching 3 of your videos, definitely got a new fan! Keep up the great work!

[@squeakyevil4]

I'll throw my chips in for the pathfinder by thoughtspace. absolutely love that disc and it doesn't get enough attention.

[@billherrera6386]

Fission Hex is straighter and flies further than the Buzzz SS we have. I do want to try a Mind Bender some day but don't have need right now.

[@BodanzaDiscGolf]

Totally fair! Want to check out the hex for sure

[@billherrera6386]

@@BodanzaDiscGolf make sure to get a Fission. Fission is very workable and will hold any line you put it on. I use a 167g, which the equivalent of a 177g normal Hex, at least according to MVP.

[@DayDayBear14]

@@BodanzaDiscGolf have a hex, love the hex, straight flight but for me personally not as much fade as you want at the end. I only use it for super straight tunnel shots under 320 ft. I can still get my Cryztal Buzzz to fly further though.

[@GrandpaThunder]

I'd love to see a Crave vs FD vs TL review!

[@jmal716]

I second that. I bag a TL and a crave. Love them both despite being so similar. I find myself reaching for the crave more tho

[@BodanzaDiscGolf]

I'll try to snag those and make it happen!

[@timh8976]

I just bought a big z meteor and a mind bender love them both the mind bender has some fade at the end for me anyway. Great video 👍

[@steveolie985]

Glad you checked out the mind bender as I was a commenter about it on your last video. all that wind it must have been hard to see which was the straightest.

[@Secretbandx]

For a "super straight" disc even though its a putter you need to definitely try the "Habit" by Plastic Addicts, it is 100% the straightest disc I have ever thrown. With the amount of glide on it you can still throw it a good amount of distance even though its technically a putter

[@jeffpimentel7153]

Mako3 goes where you throw it, helps correct my release angle. top 15 disc for me

[@OkieTradez]

if you put extra spin on Mako3 like Wysoki does it will fly TRUE to the numbers 100%

[@seanbinder8316]

I like my Buzz SS but I've never thrown the other two. Great video love the energy.

[@BodanzaDiscGolf]

thank you!

[@DeanJayJackmanJr]

10k soon

[@RINGOMONJ]

Your "caffeinated" style (for lack of a better term) is really fun- enjoying the videos.

[@Scomelbasses]

I have a lot of mids and absolutely love the Mind Bender, I have two.

[@iand25]

Lat 64 Opto Compass is my go-to strait and shapeable mid range. Way less touchy than a Mako3 or BuZZZ SS. I bag a MD1 as well as it can handle a little bit more power and torque than my Compass

[@julianayala3342]

im a max weight star mako3 user so im bias but this was great to watch. my bag is going to increase because of this. i love mids~

[@martinmelhus7324]

Anthony, curious what you think about the Mint Freetail. Understable 10 speed driver. I like it a lot.

[@Discgolf559]

Fun channel. I recently played with the midnight prowl 2 and she’s a beast, hyzer to flat. What kind of camera do you use?

[@TorrensTV]

First time viewer + new subscriber. You ever throw an MVP relay? Probably my favorite disc as of late!

[@BodanzaDiscGolf]

Thanks for the sub! I threw it since I got it from pdga, hated it personally, but might give it another shot eventually!

[@TorrensTV]

Fair LOL

[@Cjarvis1136]

How would a z meteor compare to the champion mako3 or esp buzzz ss?

[@BodanzaDiscGolf]

I have only thrown an ESP meteor but I'd say it's more similar to the mako3 than the buzzz, but is flipper than the champ mako3, maybe more similar to a star, but the z meteor could be similar to the champ mako3

[@Cjarvis1136]

Man I was parking the holes at Frog Rock today with the z meteor.

[@kylechristenberry9061]

"Ball don't scoreboard baby" - we need merch

[@brettmchan2855]

The mind bender is the straitest disc I have ever thrown! Too bad they will be next to impossible to get without paying a ton of money!!! Great video though!!

[@chrisreynolds35]

They’re available everywhere. I’ve gotten like 8 of them

[@austinteaford2611]

I’ve had the same swirly star Mako3 in my bag for the last 3 years but the Mind Bender just kicked it out. The metal flake C-Line plastic feels great and the slight bit of extra glide puts the Mind Bender above the Mako3 for me

[@ericsimons6712]

After those back to back jump putts maybe you should use a mid for out of circle looks!!

[@adza2554]

I've started putting with an infinite disc cohort for this exact effect. Also recently played a comp with a guy who putted with a comet and he was getting perfect straight glide for long range putts.

[@JayDeeTee]

Thanks! The buzz ss is in my bag but feel makes me not take it when I should. Guess I try the mind bender

[@jxntxn1462]

You won't regret it!

[@keyelectric91]

Okay sorry but I accidentally deleted my comment on your newest video but I seen some of your reply in bubble a little bit before I did so went back to watch this video and yes that Mindbender is pretty dang great. I actually did watch this video when You released it I just forgot lol

[@matthewmanzi9504]

I think too many reviewers are influenced by the companies rated glide. It really doesn’t mean much company to company as many like to exaggerate. Another channel did testing and found that the buzzz ss consistently traveled farther then the other two and that had been my conclusion with my discs as well. Despite it having less rated glide.

[@jaysonsalvador6884]

I’m bagging the mindbender and the buzz, but definitely like the mindebender better. On another note, where did you get your hat?

[@donaldsimpson26]

Can u put the lines on ur videos so we can see flights better?

[@serenityinsilence]

I bag a big z buzzz, opto fuse, and opto claymore as my mid range discs. I guess I need to try out the mind bender.

[@floovenspunker]

I warms my heart that you mentioned the Opto Claymore. It's a great disc. Mine was lighter than I wanted, but have been throwing a Lizottle Hex in this spot. I always feel guilty for having my Claymore in the closet

[@serenityinsilence]

@@floovenspunkerthe claymore is underrated for sure. I never hear people mention it when talking about mids.

[@daring227]

Hey this is Pulaski park in East Chicago/Hammond? I'm like 15 minutes away from here.... Some fun courses in the area are Rivers Edge in Munster, Lake Hills in Schereville (long tees), and Hidden Lake in Merriville (24 holes)

[@daring227]

Pulaski park definitely has some easy holes, definitely a beginner level course even for someone as bad as me.

[@BodanzaDiscGolf]

this was that course! I was in town for a day and got to play it! I played a tournament at hidden lake on the way in to chicago but am in cleveland now!

[@daring227]

@@BodanzaDiscGolf yeah, kinda thought about that after i wrote this, figured this was recorded days ago.

[@jbrew434]

Love your stuff man. Just really wish you’d have waited for a less windy day to compare these discs 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@woodwindfixer9248]

I enjoy the disc comparisons. Perhaps the next step beyond “which is the straightest/flippiest/longest/best of these 3 similar discs” is talking about shot selection or handling with 2 or 3 discs of the same class but with different flight profiles (e.g. fuse vs pyro vs buzz). Throw different lines depending on what the disc needs in the circumstances.

[@BodanzaDiscGolf]

solid idea!

[@5whiskey5]

I use the same Sterilite containers for my discs. 👍

[@BodanzaDiscGolf]

The best!

[@collsitton6905]

This was a fun video

[@MrSkill69]

Love my mind bender!

[@joshuagoodrich3094]

I love the mind bender, put the mako3 up for it!

[@MaxLBogue]

The Mind Bender is a near exact replica of the Mako3, and the differences between the two can pretty much be chalked up to cooling inconsistencies

[@ryanweber1946]

Personally I’d say the hex is the best straight flying mid range, you should try that one next

[@jaythejuiceman3000]

I love my hex, but the Mind Bender is more point and shoot. The Hex has a little bit of fade at the end. Mind Bender > Hex > Buzz SS > Mako3 IMO.

[@JRBDGPRO]

I’d pick the mako3 for sure

[@anderschristianhaldpederse8472]

Im looking for a Hex vs. Mindbaneder... I simply cannot chose and would like for someone who has "broken them in" to make "down the line"-comparison

[@BodanzaDiscGolf]

interesting! not sure if there's enough time to break them in since both are such nice plastics but I'd love to compare them at least!

[@ironic5270]

Which grip do you guys use for your mind benders

[@BodanzaDiscGolf]

Power grip personally everything for me

[@meatymanlink143]

I've only been disc golfing for about 2 years now, but the Mako3 was one of my first discs, and I've since switched over to a bit of a Prodigy fanboy. But that said, I recently was gifted a Buzz from a friend so I thought I'd give it a shot. I've only thrown it for like 3 or 4 rounds, but I just don't like it, I think it's overhyped. My go to straight mid is currently the MX-3 or M4 (I didn't buy a brand new MX-3 so idk if they're straight flyers out of the box, but M4 definitely is!)

[@tjdonohue7469]

Star plastic mako3?

[@danielfish1255]

why not hex? and pathfinder...

[@BodanzaDiscGolf]

Because I only have so much money and time right now lol! Going to compare the hex at least as well, pathfinder maybe but Apollo disc golf just did this video!!

[@jimmiehenson]

FWIW Mako3 feels way better in max-weight star/halo star

[@danielhady3021]

I liked it in champion better.

[@jimmiehenson]

@ no you didnt

[@Kirbstomp-jc9xm]

Can we get a “Ball Don’t Scoreboard” TShirt made??? 😂

[@anoxzia1]

I like my md3 personally but my mako 3 is growing on me

[@tyler_glasgow]

Buzz v Pathfinder v Hex PLEASE

[@paul.etedder2439]

The buzzz is the #1 midrange of all time .

[@markcummings2344]

You obviously don't have to make yourself choose the disk that wins on paper. There are always factors that can't be seen that affect your decision on whether to bag something or not.

[@DrArmadilloPhd]

Want to trade that Mind bender for another one? I collect green discs with blue foil, I have a Yellow with Silver stamp, with the MVP open champion stamped on the back :D

[@BodanzaDiscGolf]

sure, hmu on instagram!

Kaxe Z!

[@redmortensen4066]

It's funny cuz I know I'm one of those comments LOL

Haha for sure!!!

[@jereschr]

I just don't like your sighs when you throw haha. Idk why but other than that great vid!

[@MisterMonsterMan]

Excellent material. Id love to see you get into some gyro. Try a MVP Reactor or Axiom Hex. You wont be dissapointed.

[@joshstorms1131]

it is just latitude plastic. its the exact same thing as the new clear lucid plastic.

[@backupdriver6354]

San Marino Makos were the best ever made.... original mako. Not the mako 3

CrZtyal Z BuZZZ Not BuZZZ ss

[@BodanzaDiscGolf]

🤷🏻‍♂️

[@DayDayBear14]

@@BodanzaDiscGolf will be more similar to those two. It seems to have more glide than than my ss. But not as flippy. Super straight flier with consistent fade at the end.

[@mantistoboggan4967]

Ball don’t scoreboard…..😂

[@flickahdarist4772]

You might be releasing it flat but they’re stable disc… you’re putting a lot of torque on them so they’re just turning over
