RANKING THE TOP 32 DGPT PLAYERS BY SIDEARM! (I Fix Simon & Casey's Tier List)

[@TheGaganPodcast]

Eagle is annoyingly humble with his sidearm game. I think he has some PTSD from when he rated his putting ...

[@Skyfoxpodcast]

@@aliciawuyts884 go scam your Bitcoin crap somewhere else

[@bradinhenderson]

He ranked himself high and the in the next tournament he choked a triple putt? I would have PTSD too..

[@brasomettdjur]

@@bradinhenderson haha yeah he jinxed himself with that one. I would agree tho with him saying he was the best putter when he made the vid

[@bradinhenderson]

I agree. I am always rooting for Eagle, I am rarely worried for him when he steps up to the putt. One of the best for sure!

[@tortato9386]

i agree with eagle, huge distance and distance control but lacking in some touch areas. S tier is meant for there is pretty much nothing you need to work on you are the best.

[@gaberottman2565]

Eagle is clearly in s tier. Gotta love this guy for being humble! He can put his sidearm farther than anybody in the PDGA.

[@badass447]

It isn't always about distance and eagle struggles at times in the woods where precision is key

[@simenkjernlie9511]

@@badass447 He has amazing control as well. Throws touchy flipups with the MD3 and Essence

[@sk8erkvl5]

Shelton throws forehands further than eagle it's not but distance it's about touch too

[@thomaswinzy]

he doesnt really manipulate angles like the other S tiers though

[@man0utoftime]

He's now in *N/A* tier. But the lefty backhand is pretty impressive.

[@austinshields8627]

KJUSA's ace at Maple HIll. Easily one of the best shots ever caught on camera.

[@jimpou5843]

Eagles roller ace

[@austinshields8627]

@@jimpou5843 that was a sick shot but it's not on the same level as Kevin's.

[@johnkerr2717]

@@austinshields8627 I agree about it being one of the best shots caught on camera... But it was backhand... Edit: I'm dumb. I responded to this waaaay before the end of the video.

[@BenPalm]

Paul’s putt on hole 18 at GLO to finish his 18 under round. To see his emotion come out and to make a clutch putt was amazing!

[@blakemiles666]

Eagle, you were on the card when the best shot was captured. Ricky Wysocki, final round European open 2019, hole 4. Absolutely insane roller to save birdie

[@bobbygunshefski6248]

I would say the best shot is Paul's putt to shoot 18 under at the Toboggan Course in Michigan. The putt was great, an uphill 60-footer, but the moment was even bigger and it was awesome to watch and it felt like the perfect way to end the first perfect round.

[@RyanorTyler]

Thanks for fixing this it was bothering me. To put James on and Nikko in the same teir (c), they must have been drinking too much eggnog

[@weswilliams1245]

The best shot I have seen is Paul’s huge putt to go -18. Not the craziest shot by difficulty but the factors that went into it... GOAT material

[@alexjohnson8106]

The best shot I have seen was Kevin Jones ace when falling from earlier this year! My mouth was just open for like 30 seconds after it went in.

[@TheNelsb92]

Best ace I've ever seen for sure.

[@DnBGolf]

Came here to say this

[@hendojr3296]

my mouth was open cus i was scared he broke his knee falling lol

[@DnBGolf]

Also Alex, I have it on good authority that your last sentence is what she said.

[@aliciawuyts884]

[@willissnyder3926]

Paul's shot at Ledgestone that got stuck in the side of the basket. So great and so close, just ridiculous.

[@joshsmith3836]

this teir list is on point. Great clean up from simon and casey's with all due respect.

[@terablair628]

Paul’s 550 ft birdie at KCWO last year. Crushed a proto Kong (Zeus) over the top in a hit anny flex line to land 2 feet from the pin, insane!!

[@geneharris1]

Kevin Jones's ace, you know the one. That shot has multiple layers of amazing, including a Big Jerm witness.

[@aaronbraastad2165]

Well everyone has already taken all the best ones so I’m going a little unconventional. The best shot I’ve seen is Paul’s entire round at toboggan to go 18 down. I don’t expect to win or for you to go play the whole course if so but that is the most impressed I have ever been watching disc golf coverage. Shot in the dark since I’m late to the party. I love what your doing with the channel. Can’t wait to see you break 100k. Keep it up. 👍

[@willyergin655]

Paul McBeth parking hole 1 at Wyandotte County Park by throwing 555 feet over the trees. Insane how much power and control he has!

[@fisherthomas1990]

Actually Paul started DG with a sidearm before his backhand

[@C.A.D.]

My favorite shot on camera is Nikko's albatross. The hole, the skip, the celebration. So great!

[@philipbalke7142]

Best shot is Simon’s drive on hole 9 in the 2nd round of the 2017 Glass Blown Open. He eagled a 720 foot par 4.

[@Papa-ey8dp]

Eagle is a really humble guy. This is why you are my favorite pro player!

[@jeremyburch5850]

The craziest shot I've seen on coverage is when Eagle McMahon went long OB on a 701 foot par 4 at the preserve.

[@JasonAnderson-gi8xg]

Best shot I have seen on camera is Eagle's roller ace!! The fact that you called it because you pointed out a root that was the perfect launch point makes it one of the most insane shots I have ever seen. Your reaction along with Simon and Casey made me so happy. I must have rewatched it a dozen times.

[@Chaser90EK]

Reid Frescura's water skip at Ledgestone shots always make me happy!

[@johnshepherd6925]

Way to go brother. Cool vid. I love that you put yourself in A tier. Not because you belong there but because you know there's room to improve. It takes a lot of humility and self awareness to do that. You could have said, "no one touches my side arm, give me a few years and we'll create a new tier.", and most people would have agreed with you. Love the respect you show to a guy like Barsby. 👍👊🕳️

[@bb2deuce]

My favorite shot I've seen was Calvins shot at USDGC this year on hole 10 to get the eagle. Terrible weather conditions and he is still confident and executes the perfect shot to stay in contention.

[@byuidan]

I had forgotten about that one. Epic for sure!

[@truth7817]

Personally for me the best shot I've ever seen on coverage is Paul McB's shot on hole 1 in the KCWO where he threw it over the tree's and parked the 555' hole.

[@quinnbrownell448]

Simon’s skip shot off the frozen lake at Maple Hill is so inconceivable. Probably my favorite shot ever.

[@discgolfdetails9889]

I'm going to go back a bit and say McBeths putt in the playoffs at Worlds in 2014 on the 2nd playoff hole. Ricky was parked and Paul had a 30 footer. Will was in the background and you can read his lips saying wow after he made it. The putt itself wasn't hard, but the circumstance made the putt super impressive. Your sidearm list is on point as well!

[@gbartoify]

Simon’s drive hole 9 from 2017 GBO round 2. Bullseye off the tee on a 720’ par 4 for his 3rd eagle on the front 9. 🤯

[@TeaParty4Thugs]

One of the most insane shots I've seen was Mcbeth basically parking a 400 foot hole with a putter

[@cordellbreen169]

I believe Philo’s Albatross is one of the most amazing shots on coverage. Happy Holidays.

[@jaymesnorris6966]

I didn't know about this and I'm so glad I do now. It was going so fast that it's even more impressive that it stuck.

[@ChadSolberg]

I loved that one.... that around the tree hook was nutty!

[@cordellbreen169]

It’s was so good that all week all my non disc golfing co workers had to show me the amazing shot after it ended up on ESPN

[@manofspeedster957]

kj's ace this year was epic. i am blown away by simons roller at the preserve on the super long hole. standing right where he stood and right where it ended up, gives me a really big appreciation for just how insane of a shot it was.

[@byrdb90]

Kevin Jones’ ace during skins. Absolutely blew my mind..

[@conanmcnamara7967]

EPIC Intro. Ricky draining the 70 foot death putt to take down the Master's Cup was the most excited I've gotten watching disc golf. It blew my mind tbh.

[@nateframst7483]

Since everyone has already said kevin's skins match ace, Sias Elmore's thumber ace was insane!!

[@adambruno9280]

Nico Locastro's Albatros is by far the best shot ever on camera as he does the crazy run up, throwing his hat, and just has so much emotion! Love it

[@henryseiler7980]

My favorite has to be Simon’s throw in at the preserve. It just felt like all the months of trick shots had really paid off.

[@BrianHicksIsMyName]

Simon's tee shot on hole 9 at Jones Park East during the 2017 GBO which set him up for the eagle has to be my favorite shot I've seen on coverage. Just an unreal flight on that throw and an amazing amount of commitment and control to pull that off in a tournament!

[@oaktownhaze4198]

The best shot I’ve seen is Philos Albatross.. such a well executed shot and beautiful to watch!

[@dylanmalarkey1405]

Your roller ace was the best because it was great to see the genuine excitement that all of you had. You guys were like kids in a candy shop. So excited at what you just did.

[@Nogopharo]

The best shot I saw on coverage was the thumber bounce ace by Sias Elmore at the 2018 Utah Open. His reaction was priceless!

[@akshayundevia5616]

By far the best shot I've ever seen filmed was the roller ace you called and then pulled off on Simon's vlog. So good it made me buy the mystery box!

[@eroell5340]

Your forehand roller ace with the mystery disc in Simon’s Discmania Mystery Box video

[@jacklogsdon5324]

I got to go with Simon’s throw in to save par at the preserve. Not only was it a great shot but it was amazing how he kept his cool after going OB and stepped up and drained it

[@harrisonyoung1624]

The best shot I’ve seen is when Simon threw a putter 492 feet over water at Waco in 2019.

[@tuomasrytilahti247]

The best shot I've seen on coverage was Väinö Mäkelä's ace at Prodigy Disc Pro Tour 2020 Tampere disc golf center on hole 18. 107 meters beautiful putter shot to one of the hardest greens in Finland. Alot of people were watching at the end of the round. The pure joy can be touched.

[@dillanmitchell6917]

Haha! What a great and yet savage idea 🤣 I’m hoping that you put KJ in at least Tier A, because I think that was their worst mistake!

[@aaronhuntley5209]

My fav shot I’ve ever seen on camera was Sias Elmore’s thinner ace. It’s just so different than every shot you are used to seeing and the jump into the basket is crazy.

[@kylemiller4332]

Ricky's patent pending roller from hole 4 at the European open last year. I've never seen anything like it!!

[@bryndayy]

Went back and watched it. Wow...best shot in history to not get a replay, no competition.

The Kevin Jones slip ace at Maple Hill during the skins match is mind blowing and the best shot in my opinion. Big jerms and the other players reactions, the birth of a meme "Bob did that stay?!?", the media attention it received... Truly a special shot.

[@bodaciousflips3940]

Not trying to simp but the forehand eagle you got was the coolest thing I’ve ever seen

[@noahflynn7112]

The best shot that I have seen on camera was rickys final round ace at the Utah open 2017. This was one of the first shots that I ever watched before I even started playing disc golf, and I think it sparked a fire for me to start my disc golf adventure!!!

[@jarodgollwitzer6929]

Best shot on coverage was Uli calling an ace during his practice round with Big Jerm on Jomez and he chained out and left Big Jerm speechless.

[@alexnicastro469]

Can it be anything other than KJUSA's ace? It's perfect. The narrow tunnel, the insane distance, his legs flailing like a newborn deer's, a dog. It's a cinematic masterpiece.

[@carsoncrum]

Kevin’s falling ace has to be my favorite shot this year! Even my friends who don’t play disc golf had seen it which I thought was awesome!!

[@nathanielwilson5140]

I have never seen a forehand roller ace....I never even thought it could happen. That is until I saw Eagle do it on Simon's channel. He even called the shot! The best part though was the reaction the three of you guys had afterwards.

[@SEAKCraft]

My favorite shot was Nikko’s albatross at USDGC and his reaction to it was even more priceless.

[@daphnejolley708]

The best shot I have seen on camera is Garrett Gurthie acing at jonesboro, and knowing that he did it for his father, who was in the hospital at the time, makes that ace even more incredible to witness

Hot take: I don’t think paul has an S tier side arm. I also wish Brian earheart was an option because his side arm is BUTTER.

[@jettlivingston4610]

AGREED! KJUSA has a much better sidearm than mcbeth in my opinion and he was 2 tiers lower in Simons video, I was so upset

[@earlthomas6295]

Yeah I think it's the top 32 players this year. That's also why Nate Sexton wasn't on the list.

[@carsonmartinez5625]

Paul maybe was a s tier in his younger days but recently i see him going more with his back hand than forehand. If he’s going forehand it’s mostly an upshot with his zone

[@stanb1180]

Philo’s albatross at the Beaver State Fling was incredible. The way that shot flexed around the trees with just so beautiful. You’re eagle at hole 2 at Idlewild definitely deserves respect though!!

[@maxwelltwardowski5400]

Best on-camera shot I've seen has to be the Kevin Jones ace during the OTB skins match at Maple Hill on hole 16, when he fell on the teepad. Glad he wasn't hurt! Sick shot

[@bassplayersyx]

Let's get one thing straight....Eagle, you have one of the best sidearms...period. you're a humble dude, which we can all appreciate. But credit is due!!! The best shot... The best shot I've seen that only people following disc golf course would typically see, Paul McBeths 50+ ft put for his perfect 18 under round. The nerves and discipline needed to make that shot...very few people in the world could do that. Now my personal all time favorite, Philo's albatross. That shot made espn! I had people sending me that video for weeks to make sure I saw. That shot, IMO, has impacted discgolf exposure more than almost any other. #GrowTheSport at its best!!!!

[@andrewcourtright2577]

My favorite throw/throws were by you at the preserve this year on hole 3, throwing a md3 with just a three step and essentially parking it every time. To me that was just insane, it really showed the importance of being smooth and helped to refine my own form.

[@beelee1214]

There's so many unbelievable shots that have been caught on camera. The first one that comes to mind because it's recent is Paul McBeth's 4th shot on hole 16 in the 2nd round at Idlewild this year. After going OB on his second throw, he threw a blind turnover shot with his Buzzz from 400 ft plus, hit the gap and landed in circle 1 to save par. Pretty insane shot!

[@michaelnaggatz5830]

Ricky's putt at The Majestic a few years back was an amazing shot. Saw the shot in person, got to see you play in person, and it was the craziest ending of disc golf ever.

[@benniewalls8539]

The best shot, I've seen in my first year of discovery of disc Golf at age 62, is KJ falling down and seemingly breaking his leg and cracking his knee at Maple Hills hole 16 OTB Skins Series and BigJerm tripping out again🤦🏾 taking credit for being there. 🤣I fell in love with the sport and can't get enough of watching it. I've learned a few of the terms and rules and some of the player's history. Y'all rock✌🏾Your roller ace was prime cut too! 💯

[@traylorwhite755]

The best shot I've seen on camera is Uli's ace on 17 at USDGC with his H1 on Jomez... absolutely legendary. Big Sexy was actually talking about where Paul Uli was on the all time sidearm list so it connects to this video!

[@simonmatsson9913]

Favorite shot has to be Nikko Locastro skip-albatross of the car park at hole 13 at the 2019 USDGC! One of the best shots and an EPIC celebration, so much emotion and something I wish we could see more of in disc golf!

[@LeftySupreme]

The most impressive shot I think I've ever seen was Ricky Wysocki round 2 hole 12 of DGLO 2020 jump putting it in from out of position and 110ft out. The first time I saw this I had to watch it over and over and over. So clean.

[@Murisame]

Continuing with the theme of side arms. Kevin Jones’s tee shot on hole 14 of the DGPT Finals. That slight flex on at the beginning to line it up perfectly to hook hard right to park at the basket is one of the smoothest shots all year.

[@samthomas3255]

Ricky’s walk off ace at Utah! So sick to hit an ace to end a tournament and at that beautiful course... just wow!!
