That round was fun to watch!!
Love to see the Kotare still in the bag! I bag a Kahu OS for that same kind of shot
hell yeah . love the mixed bag, feel like its very relatable to the normal disc golf enthusiast. appreciate the content. best of luck!
Gosh, the Rebel looks so good in the black colorway. ONly thing that put me off the thing in the first place was the green/red/blue colors.
Love seeing what the pros throw and I love your consistency with these in the bags. Please keep them up!!
I love that Ethos Construct! I needed a 10 speed disc with a lot of stability for Forehand drives, and I randomly stumbled upon the Construct. I can put about 85 to 90% of my max power behind it and it flys like a dream without turning over. Thought Space for the win!
Discs I would absolutely love to see you try: Opto Havoc by Lat64 on a backhand CRUSH roller, Gold Striker by Lat64 on a slight hyzerflip backhand going straight to the horizon and the Fuzion-X Felon that is actually your last tour series by Dynamic Discs (so far at least), I think they just don't get the love they deserve. Maybe someday. Loved this video, I really like how you talk the viewer through what you you throw for what types of shots and why. 💪🏻
Love the kotare myself, I also bag a specific run of kotare that fly like your emperors
You really got to put a watermelon envy or a glow eclipse envy in the bag. They go even further then the soft envy. And are really good in wind and jump puts from 40 to 50 feet. I like the glow plastic and clear hard plastic better then the soft for more straight/hyzer shots. I have a 1st run glow envy and a 2nd run glow envy in my bag for throwing putters/putting putters. And also 1 soft envy/1 soft voodoo for turnover throws and putts. I also got 2 disc craft zones lol. For you maybe just one of each since you carry other molds.
Dynasty is now my go to disc, that is awesome. I have your signature and cg mf. Also those Alpacas are gold on putting green. Much love from Finland!
I keep forgetting to pick up an Exodus. I love my Eagle-L which is allegedly the same disc. Such a good fairway driver. I've tried out other straight-stable fairways like the Crave and FD but always come back the Eagle-L.
Finally!!! Been waiting for this for months!
Love the mix bag Oakley! Some great disc choices 👌
Have you tried any Prodiscus? I love how you've built your bag by using exactly what works foe you after trying multiple different options and manufacturers. I think you could like the Troija (insanely OS), the Razeri (kind of a destroyer but fits better for my forehand so not that special) and the Jokeri (I mean Drew loves it)
We need to get some Ace Run Stamped plastic in that bag! Loving the content EO!
Shoutout for being one the few youtube channels in disc golf to upload at 1440p and above 😎😎
My workhorses have been the centurion, scepter, dynasty, and emperors! Love the alpacas but I just can’t get away from the KC pro aviar!
Love seeing that the Kotare made the cut! I was hoping it would stay in!
I bet it's all good.
RPM and Thought Space are probably my favourite discs. Kotuku and Construct being my faves.

The Construct is an amazing disc. Love mine.
Fun to see an In the Bag that pulls from a variety of companies' discs.
Easily one of my favorite disc golfers! Smart, humble and a great teacher of disc golf! I wish him all the best in 2023!
Eric, do a meal plan video please. I'm trying to get in shape and you and Tina both are eating right. Right now I'm going low carb and high protein. You seem like you would know a lot about keto.
Oh heck yea! Notifications on!
at first I wasnt sure about the votum but after a few months of throwing them they also replaced my FD2s (I still miss these but you cant replace them)

I tried the Votum but we didn’t click. Moved over to the L64 royal glory. I got a prototype at a tournament in florida and even after months of abuse it’s still pretty stable.
Would love to see some of those forehand hyzer turnovers with the Mantra
youre out at the foley course! i won my first ever tournament there
Those Terminal Velocity glass Ursus are gas
U tried a hog nozzle in lighter weight. If windy, try the new camo scod druker. I actually been throwing the. Dank shank. It goes long ways. Better than a playbouy
Need to give the guld a try!!
I noticed that the Pepper has the same flight ratings as the Crush.
I love the Construct!
I'm happy to see some love for Clash! I throw Clash for more OS discs, and Streamline for US. Man, Streamline has some amazing US discs that "fly" under the radar. The Jet and Ascend are simply 👌🏼. But I'll have to say: the Axiom Paradox is still my all-time favorite disc. I'll play an entire round with just a Paradox, a Popcorn, and a Pilot for shits & giggles, and always have a blast.

How does the ascend fly? Compared to any innova/mvp/axiom disc? These are the ones I have most experience with.
Have you tried the Kiwi by RPM? There's a beef shortage in Texas right now cause the Kiwi has all of it.
i dont know why more pros dont do end of season ITB's. It seems so often they change half their bag mid season
EO is just such a genuinely likeable guy.- He just has the face, personality, and charm to make anyone like him.- I am so glad to see him just loving his life and his disc golf with Infinite.- Give me more EO content please.- My heart just needs the EO happiness...
Pathfinder and Construct are my 2 most important discs.
I can't figure out why any open bag pro's aren't throwing Champion Whippets or Gazelles it's like there's no love for those two molds 🤷. Definitely two underrated discs imo🤷.
Haven't seen any other pro carry that many different molds and discs. Obv you throw mixed bag, but do you need that many different discs in normal competitive round? For example i have 3 buzzz in my bag, beat up understable, little worn stable and new overstable version, and i think i can throw all the mid shots what i need with them.

I typically bag around 30 discs. Usually 5 for every slot with mild overlap. The most consistent shot for me is throwing flat, and I routinely play in 20+ mph winds, so in addition to the typical 3 per slot, I add a very understandable and very overstable slot. Hand feel differences don't appear to bother me or make me less consistent, so I use the discs from any manufacturer that I like.
Do you ever feel like open bag is too much of a good thing? I love your willing to try everything but your so good I want you to narrow down your choices so that you can be more consistent. Wish you the best loving your signature exodus and dynasty
I wanna get an Glow P alpaca but they only have them in lightweight right now on infinite 😢

What’s in you’re other bag Eric? We know you have two
Get this man on the in the bag pod cast to help all the overlap. Or he’s lying and getting paid to say he’s throwing certain disc when in reality he’s not.
Music is very distracting, but overall I love hearing Eric’s thoughts on flight characteristics, the insight on different angles from both sides, etc. 😊
Looks like no Legacy made the bag 😢

Love their plastic a lot. Ursus is made by Legacy but branded under Terminal Velocity.
This can be the problem with a mixed bag. You want to bag so many molds and support players/companies that you end up with 1 of each mold and 15 different molds.
@WhalePants

Yep! All about creating the right differences/separation between discs.
Seems like a lot of overlap
This feels like your just trying to get as much discs with your name on it as possible. Don’t know why but I’m getting that feeling.
Every video is a sales pitch 😂 Not much TSA sales pitch on this one, sounds like clash sponsored this video. Bunch of "brand new" clash discs you NEED. 😂😂

They gave $0 to this video, they just happen to be the discs that I cycled into my bag that found the most success. I hyped Chandlers Surge, the TSA Construct, just as much as any Clash disc. I appreciate the feedback tho! Not to mention those clash discs are super good! 😂
I know Eric needs to focus mostly on what works and MVP feels so different than other discs it is awkward in a mixed bag. But I really hope he tries out a few more of their high speed drivers.
