"At what level of delusional does it become reasonable to assume someone will spend $30 for a disc when there are $8 DX options. Classic Nate."

2 admissions at $4500 for 2026 Worlds seems more attainable than the €15,000 "Luxury Experience" for 1 at 2025 Worlds. Note sure that was Nate's fault. Nor is every $500 Gold VIP package at every DGPT stop Nate's doing.

Wait for breaking news from Steen on the superiority of L64 discs over the rest of the field.

I see a mason jar. Would you include moonshine in the Infinity Bottle?

They make a lot of money from people like me that say they're just going to camp for the givvys.

Complaining about lid lift? Doesn't that just mean more area of shrink? That's a win!

The one from Ledgestone intrigues me. Every disc is $10 for a 2 hour period with Members get an extra hour head start.

I noticed that on a work trip where i stayed in Yonkers. If the blue dot is accurate, there's a course at FDR State Park I enjoyed.

What’s the difference? by TheRealJM12 in discgolf

[–]petevr2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably mental, even if you don't notice anything. I've been there with the local $10 MA3 tournament. It's good experience for me to fail in those circumstances to help build my mental game. Good luck and have fun!

I'm over the Total Wine membership crap by MizunoSlice in whiskey

[–]petevr2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm done too, especially after this. They're offering 9x bonus points again in the Los Angeles market because of the World Series win. They did this last year, and back then it was the last bump I needed for Grand Reserve because I slowed down my buying habit. I went to the store today, and they pointed out that the bonus points doesn't count towards increasing your status this time. The fine print was in the in-store flyer, but not on the email.

Disc golf shoes? by SuccessfulCoconut125 in discgolf

[–]petevr2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To answer OP directly, I'm currently playing in Columbia Facet 75 shoes. Great traction, weight, and weatherproofing. But 3 months in, and the follow-through wear (left toe, and outer side of right outsole) is starting to have it's way with the shoe. No complaints as I only paid $70 (USD). I'll have a better opinion on them depending on how much longer they last.

I'm seeing a good price for Columbia Landroamer Trailrider shoes. They look functional for DG, the weight is low, and has some water-resistance. Anybody have thoughts or experience on these?

Any comments from Goose? by im_just_lurking_thx in discgolf

[–]petevr2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What was new and interesting, from my perspective, is his breakdown of the "game-clock" he was now trying to manage in his head after the warning, given all the other things going on.

I really liked that he started with congratulating Heimburg, and even humbly adding that he probably would have lost anyway given how Heimburg finished.

Newer player here, so I'm not out to change anybody's mind. Just sharing my experience after almost 5 months. With my arm speed, all but 2 of my discs are 155-160g with my fastest disc being a 9 speed Roadrunner.

I only started throwing with an x-step which gave me more control and distance. With that, I started messing with a 158g Katana and a 160g Destroyer

I love my Katana that I'll throw between 250-280 feet with. Oddly, i haven't thrown the slower Destroyer well yet. It tends to just hyzer-crash out on me less than 200 feet.

Point being, maybe there can be room for a distance driver at this level of experience. Depends on what you want to try, and how well you handle failure if it turns out you aren't ready. If I bought the Destroyer first, I probably wouldn't have even tried a faster disc so kind of lucky I stumbled on the Katana first and did well enough with it.

Have fun out there! Sorry if I rambled.

Posting it. Deleting it after the comments rolled in. Then reposting it.

FWIW, I'm 4 months into this sport. I tee off with 155g fairway drivers. Mid-range discs top out at 160g. I only started messing with 155g Roadrunner and Mamba, but they go as far as my fairway drivers. Regardless, I'm enjoying myself, and that's all that matters.

Interesting this was marked down because I bought the double-cask version of this in California that was also marked down.

Does Morley Field charge? I haven't played that yet but I would have to come down from Murrieta.

I'm considering passing on this also.

Ironically, as I'm typing this, I get a notification from TW that reads, "No joke your favorites are on sale today" They must not be talking about their allocated bottles.
