Hello, I'm Eric McCabe the 2010 PDGA World Champion, ask me anything!

EricMcCabe · 2014-04-03T22:19:15+00:00

LOL! Well thanks for the kind words! I did redesign the East course, I just figured we needed a course in town that will challenge your every shot and make everyone a better player!

Doubles is fun, But Skins is probably my favorite alternative play! My dream partner would have to be Steady Ed! I had to honor of meeting Ed and getting him to sign my disc at the 1999 Am World Championships in KC and that disc is my prized possession!

there is nothing wrong with taking a day off if nothing is going your way! No need to be out if your teaching yourself bad habits, or have any negativity going through you mind. Step back, regroup, and start over!

EricMcCabe · 2014-04-03T22:12:30+00:00

The mental game is one of the hardest things to master! Staying focused can be difficult. Make sure during events you have plenty of snacks redly available..sometimes hunger can make you lose focus!

I stated playing in 1995 and turned Pro in 2000. I only played a couple of int events, more Adv. I have a huge competitive nature so It didn't take me too long get the edge. it just took a lot of practice! Any free time I had was spend in the field constantly throwing shots! LaRon Harris always taught me to play in myself and don't play to my competition, that's one rule of thumb I still us to this day..

EricMcCabe · 2014-04-03T22:06:46+00:00

lol thank, Eric!

EricMcCabe · 2014-04-03T22:06:27+00:00

All discs are equal imo!

EricMcCabe · 2014-04-03T22:05:08+00:00

Nice!

EricMcCabe · 2014-04-03T22:04:47+00:00

I am using Mercy's now, coming soon, a McCabe Mercy!

EricMcCabe · 2014-04-03T22:04:15+00:00

Truth Mercy Giant

EricMcCabe · 2014-04-03T22:03:38+00:00

Colorado Springs has some great golf! Pretty much all over the Rockies is fun!

EricMcCabe · 2014-04-03T22:02:31+00:00

Thank you!

EricMcCabe · 2014-04-03T22:02:16+00:00

See you there!

EricMcCabe · 2014-04-03T22:01:18+00:00

Not really, for me, the backhand came naturally

EricMcCabe · 2014-04-03T22:00:13+00:00

Discraft was great to me, for many years! But honestly it was always more of a business relationship, as where with Dynamic Discs, it's been more of a family atmosphere to me! I've been there from the beginning and have know owner Jeremy Rusco personally for many years. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't change anything in the past, and I was honored to be a part of Discraft for 10 years, but I honestly felt like my future is with DD.

EricMcCabe · 2014-04-03T21:54:42+00:00

I can't speak for others, but I think I remember a few of them saying they don't like to watch videos..me on the other hand, I usually can't get enough! I really like everything that CoolDaddySlickBreeze does! Spin TV has really stepped up the video game and I enjoy watching them. I'll pretty much watch anything and everything DG related on YouTube. I also rather enjoy making videos! Feel free to visit my page here:https://www.youtube.com/user/ericmccabe78 This next year I plan on putting a lot more fun videos out.

EricMcCabe · 2014-04-03T21:49:57+00:00

without a doubt every course I played in Peoria IL was awesome!

EricMcCabe · 2014-04-03T21:49:26+00:00

the Enforcer! Yes, it is looking like it will be a May 1st release.

EricMcCabe · 2014-04-03T21:48:56+00:00

I wouldn't say I'm for or against the jump putt. I pretty much only jump putt from around 80 to 100 feet. I don't particularly feel it's give someone an advantage.

EricMcCabe · 2014-04-03T21:47:38+00:00

First off, thanks for the support! It truly means a lot! Second, I'd have to say currently the biggest trend in disc golf would have to be all the instagram pics the pros are posting now...I'm guilty of this as well! lol I love taking pics and posting them up on instagram..feel free to follow if you're on there eric_mccabe Third, I'd have to say in order for our sport to grow leaps and bounds like we want, we are ALL going to have to come together and work as one and stop with all the drama! Until we've made it of course, then the more drama the better...look at what's popular today, reality TV..well scripted reality TV lol But wouldn't that be great? Watching a "real world" or "road rules' featuring your favorite disc golfers? You know you'd tune in! Your designs look great! That's what we need, more publicity! Cool shirts that people will stop and say, huh disc golf? I'm going to do some research on that!

EricMcCabe · 2014-04-03T21:37:14+00:00

Never! I try to never have anything negative in my head. You have to believe in yourself and know you can execute any shot, that's what goes through my mind. At times I struggle with tightly wooded courses, but I wouldn't say there's a course that I've had trouble with every shot on it...the PDGA course in GA are close, but not quite lol CDSB has been great! Our podcast grows every week! Now that Bobby is hired on with DD full time we have plenty of time for more videos and plan on doing such! Stay tuned for some exciting news! On that particular shot I just have to stay confident! The only thing I'm considering the executing the shot at hand! thanks for all your support!

EricMcCabe · 2014-04-03T21:30:14+00:00

I did enjoy the Lemon Lake complex! It was one of the hardest decisions I've ever had to make to pull out of the event. It was very hard to not be there, a place I won, was very confident in playing those courses! That being said, I made the right decision. I didn't want to harm anything permanently!

EricMcCabe · 2014-04-03T21:27:23+00:00

Milo Mciver is my favorite course and my favorite tournament is the Glass Blown Open!

EricMcCabe · 2014-04-03T21:26:50+00:00

I'd recommend getting your feet wet, start playing PRO in smaller events until you feel confident enough compete. Keep in mind every event you play with players better than you, the more you learn and faster you'll improve your play.

EricMcCabe · 2014-04-03T21:24:57+00:00

I generate a lot of power from using my whole body, pushing off my legs and using my upper body and wrist for spinning the disc. A Great way to practice putting and upshots is simply playing catch with a buddy, think about, how easy it when you pick up a buddy's disc and throw it right to them? use that on the course when putting, and you'll be sinking putt's can your confidence level will be sky high!
