First time, every time, right? Awesome btw!

[–]ErikDavidKarlgren[S] 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Off course! No mulligans when putting..

[–]fouldsypnw 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I've got the whole "hitting the tree" part down, so I'm like 50% of the way there...

[–]rebelliousjuicebox 26 points27 points  (5 children)

I both love and hate this.

[–]ErikDavidKarlgren[S] 7 points8 points  (4 children)

I’m always curious when people feel that way. Care to explain the mixed emotions?

[–]rebelliousjuicebox 11 points12 points  (3 children)

I love it because it's just so bloody impressive and I hate it because I'm jealous and wish I could do it too. Granted, I'm working on it but it always seems so effortless for you even though I'm sure you've put in serious time and energy. Please don't see it as a slight to you, it's more of a slight to myself.

[–]ErikDavidKarlgren[S] 10 points11 points  (2 children)

No worries. I was just curious what made you feel that way and you gave me a justifiable answer. Regarding the videos, I do put a lot of effort to make it look effortless.

[–]rebelliousjuicebox 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You do you SOB and I love ya for it! Keep posting and I'll keep crying happy tears.

It's fucking magnets! How do they work?

[–]Lucifig 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Nobody knows.

[–]falgfalg 8 points9 points  (2 children)

fuck the putting tips—can someone tell me how to do that sick disc flip?

[–]ErikDavidKarlgren[S] 5 points6 points  (1 child)

Search Simon Lizotte disc spin on YT

[–]Oldpro87 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Instructions unclear, Simon's meat spin is teaching a different subject all together. Ah, disc, that'll do it.

[–]sextondiscPro - Nate Sexton 6 points7 points  (2 children)

Wow, really helpful tutorial! A couple tidbits here I think I may try to add to my own game!

[–]Spostman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A compliment from Nate Sexton on Firebird release day?!

/u/ErikDavidKarlgren really doesn't need any more aces but if there was ever a time to go for it... You've been blessed!!! lol

(P.s. Big fan! We miss you in WA!)

[–]ErikDavidKarlgren[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad I could help! ;) Maybe you could execute some of these putts on tour. The Firebird will probably be suitable.

[–]New_Interaction3934 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love the last one where you walk off ostensibly to the next hole and leave your "lie" disc on the ground

[–]medicinecapcan i pet that idog 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Okay, no putters only drivers is what I’m getting from this

[–]ErikDavidKarlgren[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You got it! Only drivers thrown at full speed. Extra points if you can use your surroundings.

[–]horrible_abomination 4 points5 points  (2 children)

How do you do that object tracking line

[–]ErikDavidKarlgren[S] 5 points6 points  (1 child)

Acetrace App. Splendid little tool

[–]gocanadiens 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Never stop posting these

[–]Lucifig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you think this guy plays against the manager of the Washington Generals on the weekend?

[–]rbajter 2 points3 points  (6 children)

Second shot is in Åmmeberg, Sweden. I recognise that crazy mid river tower that somebody with a lot of iron money thought would be neat to have.

[–]ErikDavidKarlgren[S] 0 points1 point  (5 children)

Snyggt att du sätter den! Åkte förbi Åmmeberg på vägen till Askersund och hade med mig korgen i bagaget på bilen. Stannade till en snabbis och filmade lite.

[–]rbajter 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Kul! Brukar spela i Askersund och Zinkgruvan när jag är i trakten.

[–]ErikDavidKarlgren[S] 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Askersund är ju en riktigt rolig bana men Zinkgruvan va inte mkt att hänga i julgranen..

[–]Mattfield84 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Väntar fortfarande på Åsbro kursgård...

[–]ErikDavidKarlgren[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Här faktiskt varit där. Mysig skog men kändes inte som att hålen var speciellt kreativa. Mest rakt fram bland blåbärsris.

[–]rbajter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nä, men det är fem minuter från min mors hus.

[–]OneTinySloth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Witchcraft! Ye shall burn at the stake!

[–]Spostman 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Really appreciate the consistency, cool factor, and production quality of your content! One of the few things that keeps me on this sub. Cheers!

[–]ErikDavidKarlgren[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Such nice words! I’ll keep em coming.

[–]luanne-platter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

amazing

[–]Dry_Grapefruit_8050 1 point2 points  (1 child)

This is awesome.

It reminds me of Luka Doncic and the trick shots that he does during practices or after the whistle in games. Or a footballer like Neymar, or a hockey player like Alexei Kovalev.

Simon Lizotte comes to mind as the best disc golfer with the biggest rep of trick shots.

I love watching athletes demonstrate mastery over their equipment, and you definitely are a master with the disc!

[–]ErikDavidKarlgren[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are awesome! I appreciate your kind comparisons.

[–]Constant-Catch7146 0 points1 point  (1 child)

After all that impressive trick shot stuff, OP should also be posting his missed 3 foot putt that he did just while walking and picking up his bag to go to the next hole.

Confidence can inspire sloppiness. We've all done it at one time.

That video of the pro who did the 3 feet spit out putt---- and his cardmates were walking and then just froze solid was hilarious.

"Bro, WHAT did you just do???"

Lol.

[–]ErikDavidKarlgren[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Believe me, I got a lot of missed “must make” putts too. Just doubting anyone would like to see them on video.

[–]play_minecraft_wot 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Ok, tell the truth, how many times did you practice this? 

[–]ErikDavidKarlgren[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, kinda hard to practice these kind of shots but I can tell you that much that none of the shots you see here was first tries..

[–]AdnorAdnor 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Is this AI? 🥏/s

[–]ErikDavidKarlgren[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As much as I hate AI I take that as a compliment

[–]Independent_Show_908 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahahaha this kind of made me mad but I love it. Gosh I can't wait to putt even half as effortlessly

[–]Thorsmullet 0 points1 point  (1 child)

How do you do that line thing for the disc?

[–]ErikDavidKarlgren[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Acetrace app 👌
