SUPER SURPISING!! // Throwing EVERY Disc From My New Sponsor*

[@hendojr3296]

Getting sponsored by infinite in the same year as you has me excited

[@thewanderinggolfer9]

Congratulations on your sponsor! Welcome back to CO. Dude, let's freaking throw some discs!!

[@xxpinghead7xx]

Dude is so pumped right now! There is nothing like getting equipment from the company based on hard work to get better at your craft. I am an ad player for Dunlop tennis. Honestly I think his positive attitude has a lot to do with why a big sponsor like Infinite picked him up along with the fact he is really good at throwing plastic! Congrats bro! Keep working as you build your story.

[@bolson111]

I've been loving infinite! The exodus is my favorite disc rn!

[@gamingnoob4417]

The Tomb and the Maya are my favorite Infinite molds. I throw other stuff now, but those have been good ones for me in the past

[@jonnelson6799]

The I-blend maya is so fun to throw. It helped me progress and play better at my local wooded course right away

[@NickCarroll]

Your Ruin flies as expected on all those subsequent throws. I have one in Metal Flake Glow that I use in my night rounds and it's decently beefy. Between an AviarX3 and a Zone in terms of how it flies, although it has a rim and bead like a Rhyno. Super trustworthy. The sleeper hit of Infinite's approach discs. The Inca is apparently just a Roc3. I don't have one of those, but in my experience the Roc3 are not as overstable as the flight numbers suggest. I agree with you about the 5 5 0 2 numbers - even in the more premium plastics. Definitely point and shoot and they'll hold lines decently, but if flight flat to slight anny, will fight out and fade decently. That Galleon is a Whippet X mold and is a bit more stable than the Banshee, and is more like a slower Firebird in the 6-7 speed range. This is the one discs I was most excited to see Infinite bring to market, because that mold is surprisingly good. The Centurion is a Leopard3 mold and I have 2 of those - 1 swirly s-blend and 1 metal flake c-blend - and they are amazing. They are currently my backup discs for the Leo3 I do use, but the stamps are great on both of them, which is why I'm holding onto them.

[@mndiscgolfer]

Love my Dynasty C-Blends and S-Blends for exactly what you inadvertently demonstrated in the video! My go to 9 speed.

[@danielpenrodii2389]

Hell yeah! Dynasty is a kickass disc

[@ErikGDiscGolf]

Ordered a Pharaoh, Inca, and alpaca with your stamp on them. Can't wait to get them and do a video on them!

[@route5discgolf]

Glad to see you throw the Sphinx properly, I call it consistently understable, I’ll trust the understable flight into a head wind and it willl still fade at the end. I love it!

[@aicrageoj]

The furthest I’ve ever seen a disc fly in person was Cole Redalen throwing a Concrete Emperor. You may need to see if he still has them because I think they sprinkled magic into the plastic or something 😂

[@jacobjoro]

This!!! Concrete ones are the best

[@alexyoung5233]

Can’t wait to see what you end up bagging after you work them out more. Keep plugging away man

[@bashildy]

Tomb gang. No manufacturer makes a better putter!

[@jaythejuiceman3000]

This video was very helpful. I am not sure what plastic does what when it comes to Infinite molds. Now I can buy with a little more confidence.

[@nomad182]

As a newbie: The first disc company to sell a bundle of one of their staple molds in their full range of plastics who actually explain how they believe each plastic blend should line up in terms of OS vs. US should have a winner on their hands, no? I understand that getting you to do it in these videos and explain it to your audience is also education for us, but I feel like this knowledge should be more easily accessible/readable? Anyways, congrats dude! Those stamped Sphinxes are on the way for my noodly arm. :)

[@MrDadicus]

I have been throwing infinite for a while and my favs are the color glow ronin, the EO sblend dynasty, halo pharaoh, and a metal flake emperor. Also the p-blend alpaca for my putter. Im glad to see you throwing infinites discs I dont see many people throwing them and they are so good.

[@DiscRespect]

NEW YEAR NEW BODANZAAAA

[@JosephTanner91]

Just snagged some alpacas with your stamp- appreciate being able to get ahold of stuff easier through Infinite Discs (love choosing the specific disc on their site too!)

[@adamgrigsby3744]

Absolutely loving this content and seeing the infinite lineup get some love! A few things, you should try to snag a concrete tomb, best feeling flight and has good integrity on it, especially for your power. As you’ve noticed, I blend starts the most stable but then beats in quickest and becomes flippy. Only other thing I’d say is don’t count that slab out yet. I think they’re less stable than numbers suggest but, they can bomb on some forehands! Likewise, id recommend trying that pink czar on some forehand drives! Keep up the great work!

[@alfredgonzalez397]

Your videos make me want to throw more and more. I kinda went on a DG funk in '23 and didn't get out much but I found your channel/reels and started getting out more

[@adrianjacome8714]

I am on Team Infinite this year and have an Infinite Discs only bag. - that was a great idea to sub Inca for Chariot. (Those flight numbers are so incorrect) - i blend starts out way beefy - dont sleep on Tomb as a putting putter. - halo or C blend slab is what you are looking for. Czar vs wraith and Dynasty vs aztec would be great videos

[@kenfouch1684]

Bro couldn’t have picked a better background. Love the mountains. Great vid Anthony.

[@stokerd1]

The Exodus (especially the Halo S-blend) and the Dynasty (I love the MFC version) are my two favorite discs, any manufacturer. Love those discs!

[@BROWNSTONEBEAR-1983]

Heck yeah! Stay Burly Curly!!

[@danielpenrodii2389]

I have a Ruin and honestly, that first throw of yours with it looked like you just cranked it all the way to the right. Unless yours is a factory mess-up, it’s a pretty reliable OS approach disc.

[@Alcofrisbas]

Glad to see you like the sphinxes, such an underrated disc!

[@DayDayBear14]

Miss my lost Sphinx 😢

[@mitchellcarter8068]

They’re OG sidewinder molds 😊

[@Alcofrisbas]

​@@mitchellcarter8068makes sense, mine flies similarly to my friends sidewinder

[@jeffcronch5234]

Really glad you did this test. I’ve been interested in Infinite for a while and have only thrown a few.

[@jaynorris3631]

This was very informative. Might have to pick a couple up. 👍🏼

[@bilboswaggings]

I said those Incas looked like the Warship So I'm not that surprised by the flight, but damn those numbers

[@salommy]

23:35 4 speed actually! Pretty shallow and I-blend is much more stable than Metal Flake.

[@ChaosKLC]

I told you that Halo Centurion is money! It's the perfect flip up to flat woods disc. It's basically a Crave, with a better finish to it.

[@jeremypanzner3081]

Cohort brothers ....good for our baby hands. D-blend and n-blend flat top are amazing putting putters

[@eetu4302]

Hell yeah! Love infinite

[@zachsnyder5444]

Chariots are SOOO good. Glow C-blend and Metal Flake Glow C-blend are my favorites they fly money out the box and beat in slowly to an absolute dream

[@auzzie.]

the mountainy background🤩

[@gday3742]

Bodanza’s explanations on disc behavior is so informative. Super excited to see what the new year has in store!

[@rangerryley3346]

Hype you got a sponsor man, so deserved 🔥

[@travisgardner52]

Same experience with my glow c blend slab. I saw numbers similar to a pd2, and I got a 12 speed dd lol

[@calebdyer6332]

The Roman is my favorite disc. I throw the exodus and dynasty as well. Super good fairway lineup. The slab is awesome too, definitely not as beefy as advertised

[@jeffnugent1062]

If you find yourself coming through Indianapolis in June. We're hosting an A tier event at Boylan Acres at the end of June

[@oakdiscs]

Looking forward to following your journey 2024!

[@BigBig5]

My Metal Flake Glow C-Blend Inca is overstable. I have been going back and forth between the Centurion and Axiom Crave since losing my favorite I-Blend Centurion over a year ago. However, I have been loving the Gummy C-Blend Centurion on wooded courses. You should try the X-Blend Alpca with puddle tops and regular tops for putting since sand and dirt love to stick to the N-Blend too much. I am someone who bags 5 Wraiths in different plastics and also bags the Czar in 3 different plastics. The Swirly S-Blend Czar fights the wind really well. Since I don't have a forehand drive, the Maya is one of my go-to for long backhand turnover shots. The Sphinx can be a hit or miss for me depending on the plastic, but waiting for a Metal Flake Glow C-Blend to come in the mail.

[@Carback27]

You're my favourite pro.

[@DadSquatch13]

Can we take a moment to appreciate that sunset. Dang...

[@fourblades6001]

S0 much info/data in one session. Almost T.M.I. for me haha. I love to practice into a soccer goal as well, but i set up about 300' & throw each disc flat at the cross bar & analyze the fallout spread to learn the discs.

[@MarcusShugarman]

Excited for you this year brother!

[@jessehenderson836]

I blend starts out pretty dang overstable for most of the discs in the lineup. They do beat in pretty quick and once they do they are so nice. The I blend emperor crushes once you’ve played like 5-10 rounds with it. Also the I blend Maya’s can become crazy good for high panning shots and then they become bomber rollers. 2023 double g emperors are my favorite run of disc ever made. So good for so many shots and they just go forever.

[@ortay3]

I blend Dynasties start out as one of the most overstable plastics - then they beat in to absolute perfection and you'll cry when you lose it. Grab a c blend glow one (non metal flake) I think you'll really dig those.

[@travisgardner52]

I second this. My glow dynasty goes almost as far as my emperors

[@Miskatonicmassacre]

Best discs in the game. Recently fallen in love with the I blend for the emperor and Roman.

[@pentagonialdime5862]

Those Incas look really similar to a westside warship to me, and those are straight to understable so that flight wasn't super surprising imo

[@ErikGDiscGolf]

They look like an in between of a warship and a roc3 and honestly they kind of fly like that it seems. Can't wait to try mine

[@danielpenrodii2389]

The Incas, for me, are very similar to my experience with Star plastic Roc3s. They do have that fade and initially are fairly beefy. Once you beat them in though, you get that flippiness and it ends up being a much more straighter flight. In this video, it looked like he poorly threw the Incas and just cranked them over to the right.

[@danielpenrodii2389]

@@ErikGDiscGolfI think Anthony just cranked his Incas over to the right too much. For me and a few other guys I know, they are very much like a Roc3. If you’re wanting that inbetween, I’d suggest the Ra. I’ve had them for a long time now and they are very much like a Wasp. I can throw them to go straight for a long time with a consistent finish.

[@ErikGDiscGolf]

@@danielpenrodii2389 that’s true he had some better shots later in the video and he said he shanked his first few. I need a more OS mid in my bag so I’m hoping this will be perfect. My most overstable kid is my pathfinder at the moment. I have a temple for upshots but want something that goes farther

[@NickCarroll]

One thing I've noticed Innova doing in the last year or slightly more with their Halo plastics is make them less overstable. They've also been experimenting with lighter colors on the outside of the flight plate - rather than lighter colors - because that often makes the disc less overstable. The Aero and Leopard3 in my personal experience have that treatment and the Halo runs I have of them (both purchased in the last few months) are relatively neutral - as if running a standard Star or even GStar run. It's not necessarily bad, but something to consider now. You can't bank on Halo blends always being more stable. You may have to pay attention to the color of the outside of the flight plate when purchasing.

[@hiddenleaf414]

How does the lighter color effect stability? It’s humidity in the plastic and how it cools, don’t understand the correlation between lighter colors discs less overstable.

[@NickCarroll]

@@hiddenleaf414 it's more to due with what happens the different material make-up of the colored plastics. I'm not a chemical engineer, but my layman understanding is it's not strictly color.

[@jakellis1493]

It’s okay to not like a couple molds, I think most infinite throwers aren’t a big fan of the ruin. You better like the tomb and scepter though 😂 those are 2 of my favorite discs

[@markrobinson1753]

You’re like a kid in a candy store! Enjoy your moment!

[@Tay_Noriega]

Did a video of the N-Blend Alpaca last year. It’s the putter of all putters for sure!

[@danielpenrodii2389]

The Dynasty is a go-to staple in my bag!

[@davidbravo118]

Those Romans look bomb! Can’t wait for mine to come in, congrats brotha!

[@Lankybrit52]

Can’t wait to see you in a tourney with these

[@Derek-Walker]

First video where I'm watching your form and my brain goes "Huh, that looks pretty close to Anthony Barella's form" Just thought I'd share!

[@ARTisGONE]

Hope Infinite makes a more flatter Galleon for forehand. Need a more stable 6 speed than my Eclipse Resistor.

[@lukeupshur5587]

Ever try a Kastaplast Kaxe? Should fill that slot for ya

[@toddkauk6099]

​@lukeupshur5587 Kaxe is not overstable compared to an Eclipse Reactor, not even close really. A Whippet or Trident might work though.

[@caleblody4046]

I-blend definitely starts out more stable than other plastics but beats in perfectly

[@marc4242]

Anthony, now that you are on Team Infinite, will you be doing more collab with other members, besides what you’ve already done with Drew? Just an idea for more content and I would enjoy watching you throw with others.

[@ez4me14]

Halo for stable, I blend for easy flip up, I love those plastics

[@Qdsmedra]

Will you still be using a mixed bag? Discraft, Inova, Ect?

[@evanstep]

Played for a few years now and never thrown a single infinite mold, but this makes me wanna get some to try them out. Looks like the marketing may be working 🤔

[@weswarren5987]

Wet well Done, Happy New Year

[@OkieTradez]

hey man i know both you and i have been stuck at 450ft well i think ive found the tip to get our nose down! the realization came from the fact the nose of the disc when we grip it is to the left of us not the front of us.. so instead of pointing the nose down in directly front of me when i grip the disc now i will point the disc to left of me down as i grip the disc and as the disc rotates out of my hand theory is should be nose down!

[@aicrageoj]

Looks like it’s time for me to buy more discs 😂 I have a beat in GG emperor but I think I want to buy the halo emperor and a pharaoh.

[@theboijcags8283]

Also the double g swirly sblend emerors are so money

[@calebdyer6332]

In my experience I blend starts a bit more stable then beats in quicker

[@triplespace007]

If Halo is more understable for them, I might snag a few discs. Halo looks super cool.

[@ReluctantAardvark]

World’s most difficult game: is this Innova-manufactured disc in a different plastic going to be more or less stable?

[@benchen1160]

heard on reddit the Anubis was the old discmania MD mold

[@sebmeunier3528]

These Inca remind me of my Fuzion Orbit Verdict (5 4 0 3). I was hoping it to be more OS than my Reactors and at first I thought it was, unless there's the tiniest headwind and it became a 5 5 0 1. I don't want to get to a Justice for that slot as I still want some glide, might try a Pyro (not OS enough?) or a Deflector (too OS?) or just get my hands on a Color Glow Ultra :-) Curious to see what you'll bag in that slot after your first rounds all Infinite

[@robertdeener7220]

Let’s goooooo! So happy for you!

[@Bricko62]

Could we get some Bodanza Tomb's please? Would love to get one for a friend who loves the Tomb as his throwing putter.

[@MikeyOnetwofour]

[@Mattavif]

Is this still edited in premiere pro? What fonts does he use in the intro? "Every single infinite" line?

[@thaddeuswireman552]

Tombs though man. They're sooooo good, especially the premium premium blends. If you have a stock hyzer forehand they're soooo gooooood for us baby hands bud 💯

[@tough101]

Nice video! Do you recommend the emperor?

[@TheHeadyGiraffe]

well looks like i finally have a good reason to replace my pharaoh. Also i called you were gonna sign with infinite after your silver win.

[@jakobgrv1370]

Metal flake tombs are so money - recommend them so much😍

[@capitalrl9632]

I now see how much more spin Bodanza gets on the disc than me. I can't flip up a Pharoah...

[@kimmomatikainen1843]

Spins make discs fly more stable. It stabilizes the disc. That is how you get late flips. Put a lot of spin and disc flies straight and starts to turn over when spins wears out. If you put a lot of spin to understable disc, it flies straight and doesn't turn over. Of course when thrown anhyzer with a lot of spin, spin keeps the disc in that angle. There are so many other things that impacts, nose angle and speed being probably the biggest two factors.

[@JoshJackson13]

Putting is everything. Make time to practice putting even though you have alota new disc to throw.

[@JoshJackson13]

Also I'm excited to see infinite disc. I've never had any and I like Innova plastic. My Gstar KRAIT 4 hands really good. Not Skippy never wabbles and Dead strait 350ft on slight hyzer

[@JoshJackson13]

Get a super domey sphinx. My poptop sidewinder is glidey and surprisingly stable but I Back hand like proctor full tilt hyzer golfer swing

[@WhalePants]

Is that good?

[@gabrielherrera87]

I want that sphinx 😫

[@lawrencetchen]

Congratulations to you and Lykke!

[@JohnnyFairway]

Your feel for discs and flight numbers and the throw is remarkable This really helps sink in that plastic type makes a difference Please help us noobs understand cuz it can be a little confusing

[@kimmomatikainen1843]

The higher the wing, the more overstable the disc is. Discs are made of two parts, top and bottom. Parting line is where they meet. The higher it is, the more stable the disc. Stiffer plastics are usually more stable than flexible ones. Base plastic is usually stiffer, but less stable than premium plastic. Lot of people talk about dome, but it is kind of irrelevant, because people think stability in different ways. Dome provides more lift because more air goes under the disc keeping it in the air. So domey discs tend to fade longer and farther to the left (right backhand) . Flatter discs are often faster because they are thinner, but have shorter fade because they don't glide as much. Some people think more overstable has a long glide and some consider discs that dumps fast more overstable. For example Tilt that is probably most overstable disc ever made flies almost straight because it doesn't glide so it dumps to the ground fast and it is board flat. So it depends on the mold and the meaning of overstability whether domey or flat is more stable. There is no general rule that applies every time. Heavier discs are more stable, but couple of grams make no difference. 10 grams does. There is something in a short text. Put different discs on the table or flat surface and you can see the difference in that parting line (wing).

[@alexsprague8872]

[@DanyoDiscGolfs]

Anyone wanna bet how long it takes for Infinite to make their money back on him??

[@shawnwhite1645]

Without knowing the terms of the contract, kinda impossible to do, but I imagine it was a rhetorical question anyways. Still, I'd imagine 1-2 years max, assuming he got $$$ in the range he felt his stock was worth. It's really crazy that there's many touring pros who've played for years, who have no KZbin presence or a channel w/a handful of viewers/subscribers, whereas Anthony here has 33.8K subscribers as of this post, and a potential to turn that into 100K by the end of 2024, IMHO anyways.

[@DanyoDiscGolfs]

@@shawnwhite1645 No, I’m serious! Potentially, Bodanza could give us enough information w/o revealing too much of his bottom line. I agree - 100k subs by end of ‘24 and that means 70k new pairs of eyes on Infinite. They make their money back before he hits 100k subs, I bet: July at latest (180 days). He may have worked a clause in the contract that could double his payment, or more, based off of some disc sale’s metric/threshold he thinks he can hit for them. So that could push it to like 9 months, but still before he hits 100k. I’ve bought from Infinite before, but that first stamp is weak sauce compared to the shattered van so they better crank out something a bit more in his artistic/creative lane.

[@judasblewit]

​@@shawnwhite1645 Yeah. He's not even a touring pro and they invested in him purely on KZbin alone. KZbin isn't for everyone and it's a lot of work but if I was a pro struggling I'd definitely think about it.

[@danielbarrett6026]

Out of all your reviews I have watched, I have never seen so many positive comments in a video like this before. Interesting.

[@adamschmehl]

i’m here because i’m a fan of Anthony, not for perfectly unbiased reviews

[@ddctv2617]

Agreed, all I got out of this video is that I can no longer fully trust these reviews.

[@wyattdenton6264]

I also think, while he is still reviewing these discs, he is very excited about his new sponsorship and thus, his first sponsored video shows his excitement while throwing new plastic. Be excited for the man. I’m sure he will get back to the reviews we are used to after he gets over the initial (and valid) excitement of his first sponsorship. Excited for you bro!

[@HARwinsOUTagain]

Dudes…who needs an actual trusted review of a disc? Every arm throws them differently. Wind conditions change things. You would really not by a disc that has the specs you need because of one KZbin review?

[@benchilders7533]

He also said last video that he’s excited about the sponsorship, so he may be extra positive at the start

[@jeffcronch5234]

Don’t forget to mark all your new discs. 😉
