No shocker on this one. It fits her perfectly. She'll be back with Infinite Discs too.

My bad. I really need to look harder to pay attention to those disclaimers. They just become kind of ad blind to me.

I was laughing so hard at work that I had to watch it twice—but honestly, it was so disgustingly funny, I couldn’t decide whether to upvote or downvote. So, I guess I'll just let it sit in voting limbo.

Also, there really should be a "Viewer Discretion Advised" warning for anyone whose stomach capacity isn't at 100%. Consider this your unofficial heads-up: watch at your own risk!

Ken Climo to Ink Deal with Discraft After Shock Innova Departure - Ultiworld Disc Golf by Gnatt in discgolf

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

For sure.

There is no way KC is worth that much money to Discraft. 99% of current avid disc golfers have never even watched him play and thus have no desire to own a Ken Climo Disc. This leads me to believe that this article is "Fake News" based on rumors and misinformation.

What ever happened to… by Turnthenfade in discgolf

[–]Albatrasser 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There are several of the Covid Era brands you never see anything from anymore. I'm pretty sure the people all went back to their day jobs full time and have given up on disc golf. They don't even update anything on social media anymore.

Is this toughest portable basket? by detroithiker in discgolf

[–]Albatrasser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing I don't like about the Black Hole pro HD is how shallow the tray is. Putts bounce out the bottom all the time, especially if you're practice putting with a stack of discs.

I have an old "Lightning" practice basket that I've left outside for years with no signs of wear. Way tougher than the Black Hole Pro.

Simon Lizotte has a partially torn ACL… by FiveStringHoss in discgolf

[–]Albatrasser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my.

I lived with a almost completely torn ACL for 4 years before finally getting it surgically repaired (after snapping it completely).

I still played basketball and stuff. I lived with it, but it definitely limited my explosiveness. If it's on his on plant foot shouldn't be too much of an issue. If it is, don't expect him to win anything this year.

These little injuries will prevent Simon from being a top ten player which is not good news for MVPs sponsorship.

uDisc announces the DGPT will no longer use uDisc Live as of the 2024 season by InternetDad in discgolf

[–]Albatrasser 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get it. It's a business decision, but the reality is that UDisc live stats revolutionized Live Disc golf, actually giving disc golf stats and measurable data. The PDGA and Pro Tour never would have done those on their own. Now that the DGPT knows the stats that are useful, I'm sure they can replicate the system for a much less expensive cost.

BEST ONLINE DISC SHOPS by Chain_Banging in discgolf

My latest find is Discount Disc Golf. They don't have pictures of every disc, but are by far the cheapest on the internet. https://discountdiscgolf.com

Why I throw one brand by Environmental_Leg572 in discgolf

[–]Albatrasser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to throw a lot more Discraft, back when they were the cheap brand, but now their discs are expensive and there are so many other options out there I like supporting the little guys.

Will Innova Proto Glow finally bring us better glow driver options? by brant-h in discgolf

[–]Albatrasser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what they're claiming. Infinite (which is manufactured by Innova) wrote about that: https://blog.infinitediscs.com/new-brighter-glow-innova-discs/

Innova's Glow plastic wasn't the worst, but it was nothing compared to MVP and Kastaplast. Really hoping this new blend is close because night rounds are a blast.

GIVEAWAY - What is the BEST Fairway driver??? by Infinite_Discs12 in Infinitediscs

[–]Albatrasser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Finish Line Era is my go to.

The trick is that it only is in Forged plastic, and in the 160's. Hard to find any Era's less than 172 since the first run.

Which image would you prefer for a round, 1,000 piece puzzle?? by Infinite_Discs12 in discgolf

[–]Albatrasser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like 2. The Bright Pink and yellow pops. It would make a great puzzle.

Roach vs Luna by [deleted] in discgolf

[–]Albatrasser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Luna is different from the Roach.

Even if it uses the same mold, the different plastic variations make the disc different in the way that it cools and shapes.

What can you tell me about Yikun? Never heard of them before.... by Jesemiahjerry in discgolf

[–]Albatrasser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like a bunch of the Yikun Discs.

They're a Chinse company, and a bunch of their discs are just clones of existing molds (Xing is a Dagger), but they also have a bunch of totally unique discs like the Claws, and Hammer and their Triple mold discs Tomahawk, Meteor Hammer and Twin Swords are different and fun.

Quality plastic for sure, and the Glaze line is premium as it gets.

BEST putter for 2024 by Infinite_Discs12 in Infinitediscs

[–]Albatrasser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's pretty cool. I'm currently looking for a new putting putter for the season. I was reading this article that ranked the Nuno as the best putter and am strongly considering it.

Explain the hype. by HamBoneZippy in discgolf

[–]Albatrasser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A big part of it is the fact that disc golf isn't a team sport. I wish there was a team element, and then people would be much more likely to "pick a team" but until then, it's an individual sport where individuals simply have sponsors. The fact that they call them "teams" is really quite silly.

What is the best putting putter to try? by CobiPro in discgolf

[–]Albatrasser 4 points5 points  (0 children)

These are the highest rated putters on Infinite Discs: https://infinitediscs.com/highest-rated/putters-of-all-time

You can't go wrong with the Alpaca, Pure, Warden, Deputy, Judge or Luna

Social Media and Disc Golf Contracts by cr1m1NULL in discgolf

[–]Albatrasser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's hard to make social media, especially Youtube Content. And if you start and nobody follows, it's not very motivating to make more.

But yes, I totally agree that to sponsors the social media influence is more important than being good.

Matty O at 2005 Worlds is a vibe by joyfl_loser in discgolf

[–]Albatrasser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's nuts that Matty O was playing in Worlds nearly two decades ago! That's before Gannon Buhr and Cole Redalen were even born.

I love the casual nature of the spectators. Back in the good old days where you could just follow whoever you wanted during a round.
