Has Chance lost his big money Lonestar contract?
@@stbw33 😂 yeah he let it expire and is a free man again.
Been watching you guys for about 6 months. Great content, always is. I love your honesty in your videos. After watching your recap of the tourney, then this video, I get your frustration. Dont get down, just practice and get better, looking forward to further content!!!
Thank you Jason! Yeah we definitely need to keep practicing and working on getting better. This was definitely a learning experience playing with just a Glitch.
Chad carrying me with that deadly stepper🤑
Is mike and sean related?
Not related to each other. 🙂
He’s the brother I never wanted
I have been wondering about this for a while now, so I have to ask this important question. Does Mike only have one set of clothes or does he have multiple of the same shirts and shorts?
@@nicolaiberg6579 he has multiples but those are his faves. I have a limited selection myself but prioritize the lighter colors in the hotter months. I bet he’s doing the same. 😀
@@NickCarroll Haha, thats what I thought. It was mostly just a joke to poke a little fun at Mike 😀
@@nicolaiberg6579 oh, I’m allll about that! 😂
Mike has certainly got character. Adds value!!! & the banter between him and sean is great!!!
Those are my only clothes
That's cool you got to play that course! It's private and closed to the public like all the time!
Mike has a potty mouth 😂😅
He got a little ... heated. 😂😂
@@NickCarroll hahaha
It only gets worse
@@mikefelix1233 🤣
@@mikefelix1233 🤣😂🤣😂. I know the feeling.
They don’t always go well. I was there and did not do as well as I wanted but had fun still. Luckily everyone on my card was playing on the same level. Just get back out there and have a fun round and you’ll get out of your own head about it.
Thank you Matt! Yeah I'm thankfully over it now, but it was a rough rest of the day until I came to terms with it. I should have game planned better and had a backup strategy for the possibility I was going to have a bad round.
This is “Nathan” (go by Drew most places, hence my posting name here). Even though you didn’t have a great round, Travis and I had a good time playing with you and Sean. Definitely weren’t lying in this video when you said your putting game was on, absolutely crushed some big putts after some of your more frustrating shots. The mental game you spoke about here was very strong on the putting stroke, I know you’ll be able to carry it over to the other areas you want to work on. We’d be glad to host you out at Gracepoint DGC once the renovations are completed, will give you a shout!
Thank you! Yeah both Sean and I absolutely love that course. Looking forward to the revamp! We'll definitely play it again. 😁
You know, I saw that wonky turn in your glitch practice round video. After the first few throws, I though "man do you have a flippy glitch". But then I noticed Sean was throwing them pretty straight with about the same amount of power. I thought maybe Sean was throwing them more nose up, since you can occasionally see the label on his tosses, but that shouldn't affect a low speed disc so much because of it's blunt rim. I finally came to the conclusion that you somehow lost some spin. That would cause the wobble and the exaggerated turn. Then I watched this video and noticed you were throwing much better. Glad to see the change to your swing is working. Elbow up, and deep in the pocket. Keep up the good work, love your videos.
Thank you! Yeah I started working on my form recently, after taking a couple months off. Basically I reverted to some old habits in the tournament that I didn't notice, that made throwing the Glitches much worse. The wider stance, coiling more, both help. I need to work on the shoulder rotation and elbow angle next. I've always had lower spin and higher wobble, so I hope to improve both stats in the future. 🙂
FWIW, I agree completely about the mental game… my solo rounds are almost always better than group rounds because I can focus more, particularly after less ‘than desirable’ shots. I played a round at Briscoe a little over a couple of weeks ago and shot the worst round I’ve had in probably a year or more. Went back out to play it again a few days ago and shot par. The difference? Not letting one bad shot compound into multiple(s). On one hole (9 I believe) I scored a quad bogey - pretty sure it’s been a couple of years since I’d score one hole that bad. The reason? Trying to make a ‘hero’ shot after a bad one. Not that those recovery shots were ones I hadn’t been successful with before, but the margin for error was very slim and it was very hot so I wasn’t quite ‘on my game’… and errors compound. I was watching the MDG coverage of the 1st round of the Swedish Open, and Nicklas Antilla was having a bad 1st half of the round. The commentators remarked how he’s so even-keeled, even if he gets a bad break or has a bad hole, his focus is on playing each upcoming hole to his best rather than on what his score for the round is… once a hole is carded, you can’t change it x you can only card the upcoming holes the best you can. Interesting comment on focus…
Yeah I think things just spiraled out of control. I think if I just divided the length of every par 3 hole in half, and just threw to the middle on every one of those. Then on the par 4 holes divided the distance in 3, I would have done a lot better. But most of my drives were really bad, but upshots that were somewhat open were decent for the most part. So backup planning would have been helpful. But at least for myself I couldn't adapt to the situation and I buried myself in the tournament because of it.
I'm fairly disappointed in mine, had them less than a month and the bottom started breaking. Idio was super slow in responding and because of that I missed my return exchange window. Now they are good shoes but they are absolutely not water proof anymore for me, the water comes in from the bottom, possibly because of the defect/brokenness of the shoe. I still use them when the weather allows but for $130 I'm fairly disappointed
Yeah I’m on my second pair - this time the second generation and while better, they still lose waterproofing about 2 months in and the back part of both shoes are wore out.
How'd you fellas make out in the tourney?
Terrible. Our worst performance in years. Literally. 😂
Ive been putting my thumb in front of index finger and had some success. Hard to explain I guess like a thumbs up worth a try for a throw or 2
@@NostressZone-x3d I'll check it out tomorrow! I'll let you know if it helps. TY! 🙂
@@NickCarroll like the uplay power grip video
I find the leopard to be too under stable for me. I use it as such
Hi Nick, from my suffering experience with yips I can give you two (from seveal) possible causes for your stuttering motion: 1. At a certain point of time after a long established putting form works very well your brain may begin to refuse its cooperation, because it can not deal with the monotony it is confronted with your one and only putting form. Brains only work well when the stimulus is diverse, rewardful (not to be mixed up with a successfull putting hit rate!!!) and somehow challenging. If this neglected (by just offering monotous stuff) its main functions (processing, coordinating, improvising, combining, remembering, etc) become sort of "numb". 2. Yips may be caused by self-inflicted mental pressure (e.g. expecting a certain improved percentage in your hit rate within a given practice time limit or the feeling of being watched by other (competition) players while you are trying to hit an important birdie on the last hole or... or... or..). Try to figure out if the yips reoccurs after you have switched to another putting form or "watch" your (pressuring or restricting) thoughts right before you execute a putt. Hopefully you could overcome this nasty handicap in the meantime. Good luck and enjoy our sport. What I could observe in your motion: The follow through of your arm appears insufficient. It seems like you have implemented a sort of "upward limiter". And occasionally there some additional drawing back motion of your arm, as if you (or your brain) tries to avoid a collision with an invisible object.
I love you Papa
You can literally tell how far along in the round y'all are by how high or low the sweat stain is on Sean's belly! :)
😂
Bro, i thought you were taking a break? You have been a content creating tear in the last few weeks. You might be the James Brown of KZread disc golf. ( i mean that as a compliment)
I’ve had a couple people in real life with the same concern. I took 2 weeks off between that video and the next. But I already had everything else filmed and edited by then. So all I did was upload the videos spaced out to prevent a drought in content. I enjoyed my break and it helped me quite a bit. Right now I’m recording 1 to 2 rounds a week (1 on Saturday and 1 on Sunday) at most. It just looks like a lot more since I break them into front and back videos. 😀
Little E, being my home course, has absolutely spoiled me in learning lines and getting out of the roughest rough as I've learned to play over the past year. My distance is max at about 300. I do, however, absolutely hate hole 12 as it plays to all my weaknesses. But it's another reason i love the course, haha. Nice game to watch, guys.
I have been looking for a 9 speed to fit between my champ thunderbird and star sidewinder. Dynasty looks like the one. I tried an undertaker in esp but it was even more overstable than my thunderbird.
It really is. My cart right now has five 9-speeds: Firebird, Thunderbird, Dynasty, Valkyrie, Sphinx. The Dynasty sits perfectly between the Thunderbird and Valkyrie.
LOL....Hole 13.
One bit of constructive criticism, i was telling my friend the last 3 weeks to slow down...when you are in throw stance mode, you seem to do it rather quickly, think of how you are approaching your shot, maybe imagine that line and have a pretend throw, and keep that elbow up and aiming... Garrett is doing awesome, he must love that disc.
Thank you, will do! Adding that to my notes for the next time I'm out. 🙂
@@NickCarroll i did note you dont enjoy the glitch all that much, so that can affect how you play, im the same in the sense. May have to do a challenge like this.
@@KZreadmodsarewanks Yeah I am playing one of the Glitch World Championship qualifiers on the 29th so I've been practicing with these most days, and trying to throw them in rounds when possible. These Glitch only rounds are semi-preparation for that. I've actually gotten a lot better with them for putting and approach, but I kinda lost the feel for that during this round. Something to work on!
@@NickCarroll goodluck Nick!
@@KZreadmodsarewanks Thank you! I'll need it! 😁
Haha...awesome video. Can tell you guys were having a blast....well, maybe except Nick. Glitch doesn't like you.
The Glitch and I are old enemies. It won that day. 😂
let me know if you come to Austin TX!
I've actually been thinking about this for some time because I plan to go up there to play some courses and I recall you're in the area. If anything maybe you could help me with some TechDisc throws into a net to monitor my form. Hardest part of trying to fix anything with it is supervision from someone who knows what to look for. 😂
@@NickCarroll would definitely try if you are ok being a lab rat haha. Not that experienced with hands on coaching but would prob have lots of ideas for things you can try.
@@disc-golf-neil Yeah that's really it. I'm armed with too much information. I'm like a lawyer trying to defend himself in court. Maybe I have all the tools, but I'm too close to be objective or have a good perspective.
My brother and I saw you guys doing your intro when we were there! It was our first time there, and it was a great course. Hard, but fun. We should get together and do doubles sometime lol
Yeah that's something we can do! We typically record on weekends, either Saturday, Sunday, or both days. I try to change the course each time. Just message me in the comments if you're free one of those days and we might be able to schedule something. 🙂
This video must have been some work for ya nick. How long did the actual round take itself?
Yeah, 1 hour, 28 minutes of video. Edited down to about 56 minutes. The round itself took about 3 hours. 🙂
@@NickCarroll good video. Thanks for your efforts.
@@KZreadmodsarewanks Thank you! Happy to do it!
maybe try putting your left hand in your pocket ??
Yeah I've had some success doing that, but I haven't been trying to do that lately. I did some testing on doing that and the results were somewhat positive: kzread.info/dash/bejne/q4llvLylYsfaZ5c.html
I just filmed myself for the first time after playing for the last 2 years, and I should have had someone do it much sooner. I have been watching Sling Shot Disc Golf's channel and he really has a great way of explaining how to achieve "pro" form. I am 62 years almost and I did not realize what my off arm ( left arm ) was doing? So I have corrected that issue over the past few weeks. I think you are not relaxing your throwing arm? It should be like a wet noodle
Yeah it's the weirdest thing. My off arm just tenses up like that. I don't even feel it really. I look back on video and it's locked into that shape. It's something I'm looking into.
Whats your pdga rating?
817
Finding out as a beginner, you need to really get a good snap on the Leopard...I'm lucky to get 175ft at the moment....
His form works especially for older players. You can get great distance with lower wear on your body.
we need to get a round in sometime!
Yessir! I'm free most weekends. And if you still dye discs I may have a yellow Mutant to see if you can do something with. 😁
Hey good work boys. Keep up the hard work and don’t give up. :)
Thank you, Tommy!
Good round Nick!! And good job everyone!
Thank you!
Its not the disc. Its your start line. Every one was different. Disc pretty much flew straight where you aimed it
Great point! I feel like this disc is showing me errors in my form so well. I'm trying to throw it one direction, and simply being uncoordinated with bad form, I'm not able to throw it consistently. I'm on day 2 right now, trying touch forehands as well. Very eye-opening.
@NickCarroll yea im super new to disc golfing and just bought a glitch the other day. I love it so far bc it flys so straight. But I also hate it bc it flys so straight lol
@@upperdecker1750 😂Yeah it's actually why I traded this Glitch last year to a friend. I got an Uplink from him. That said, I am glad to have this back, as it's helping me retrain my form, and I'm actually enjoying it this time. Hopefully I can get everything worked out by then.
@@NickCarroll amen to that! I want straight discs so I can have good form b4 I form any bad habits.
We're looking forward to it!
Heck yeah!
These distance throws look good nick, nice and smooth and controlled form. In the battle vs. Sean off the tee the rounding was really forcing the disc over. Keep it smooth and good luck!
Yessir! This Glitch has been a pretty useful tool in helping me resist that temptation to do that myself. I'm focusing more on the upper arm and shoulder, making sure not to let it do it's own thing without supervision.
@@NickCarroll it looked really good on this clip, keep it going!
love the Glitch! But love the Nomad more :)
I have to say, I'm better at throwing and putting the Nomad than the Glitch. I'm having to retrain myself slightly to throw and putt this better. It's weird having such a slow, yet light and glidey disc.
@@NickCarroll I bought a glitch but really didn' like it, it was a bit to light for me. Nomad all day for me i have about 7-8 of them lol
@@NickCarroll Good luck in your Tourny!!
@@AnthonyPinheiro Yeah I'm an Aviar guy so I have like 5 in my trunk for practice and putting league, 5 at the house for practice there (that's been awhile though), and I've probably thrown that putter more than any other mold - at least for 100' and in. That said, my MVP bag has my Nomad as my primary putter, and I throw a Proxy and Envy for most upshots.
@@AnthonyPinheiro Thank you! I'll need it! That said, I'll focus on playing within my limits and having fun. This is the first tournament I've actually trained for. Most of the previous ones I've just played a practice round and just a little prep before the round starts.
Bra jobbat, gillar din armbåge 👍
Thank you! I've been working on it. 🙂
Try the Watt
Planning on being there myself.
Heck yeah! See you then!
The glitch is the perfect disc for teaching good form. It gives instant feedback and shows you everything you're doing wrong. Great disc to practice with and mastering it will make you a much better disc golfer. It's pretty stable and can still hold up to some wind. Holds any line you give it. It likes lots of spin and lots of height. Any OAT and it will turn into a roller.
Yeah with this tournament coming up I'll be throwing this every day in my side yard, and in rounds that I play, so I get the hang of it more. I've been wanting to refine my throw to minimize wobble, and this is the perfect training tool for that. 😁
I'm excited to try tech disc, but I'm bummed out that you can't use it on a disc you would normally throw
Yeah with GameProofer you can buy just the tag and attach it to any disc you want. It's also a bit cheaper that way. That said, it is a different program, not compatible with TechDisc, and it's readings may not match exactly between each other.
STRAIGHT UP LASERS☄️
Hole #9 is wild I had a roller go all over the ditch across the street into the opposite tree line ended up playing it because it was some of my buddies first games wanted to make it hard. Hit a +3 I think the other side of the road is the strategy on hole #9 😂
Seabroooook !!!
We would love to get back out with you! We have taken a long hiatus as well as my camera broke, comeing back to youtube soon!
Well, are you free this Sunday, and do you have a Glitch? I'm thinking a Glitch only round on a short course that day. Sean might be available.
Pixel All Day. Just sayin'
Dude just stop filming, there is no reason to make this video. No one would care if you didn’t post for a month or two or hell even a year. It’s apparent you film casual rounds with you and friends. If that’s not enjoyable then stop. But it’s weird that people think they need to make a video and drag out this like you and or your content is necessary. KZread has a weird way of making people think they need to do things when they don’t. Enjoy your life don’t let this mess with you. Hope your time away is beneficial.
I appreciate your concern, but a) a fair number of people in my audience do actually care, b) it's my channel and c) I I wanted to play that round and film it. It's not a matter of enjoyment, it's a matter of time management. So I took a 2 week break and I'll make 1-2 weekly videos going forward. Thank you for your comment, and have a great day!
Is this Houston? I think I seen this course on udisc..... New to the area. Where is the best place to find mini's, local leagues. Best place to play after rain?
Depends on the side of town you're on, but Brock Park is one of the best, and it's on the north east side, so fairly reachable from most parts of H-Town. On Facebook, look for Groups like Houston Disc Golf, and Houston Flying Disc Society. From there, look for other Groups in your area. If you need more information, just let me know!
@NickCarroll yeah im in the spring/woodlands area and Thanks! I'll look those up.
@@kurtisfoley2314 North Side Chain Gang, Cypress Disc Golf, and Lake Houston Disc Golf would be 3 other groups you should subscribe to. You'll be close to Northside Church, Spring Valley (now called Spring Country Club) and a few others. UDisc is your friend!
@NickCarroll Awesome! Hope to see you guys around.
@@kurtisfoley2314 Yep! Wednesday nights after 5pm we're at Northside Church maybe 1-2 times a month. Thursday nights after 5pm Sean and I are at Spring Valley 2 or 3 times a month. So those are the greatest chances we'll be around. In some rarer occurrences we'll do a mini somewhere else on Sunday morning.
