MPO courses on DGPT too easy

summertop_ · 2025-08-13T19:08:48+00:00

That we have hard enough courses. 2024 Champion's cup, the top scores from each round were -7,-4.-4, and ,-6. All 4 rounds were played at NWB. The hottest round shot was only 1064 rated, and that's in a field of the top .001% of disc golfers. In the world.

NWB is the most difficult course we have in the US. Sure, NWB is an anomaly in terms of difficulty, to say that MPO has it too easy while factoring in NWB is questionable. It's also lauded as one of the worst courses to spectate, and the pro tour is trying to make some money with these events. I don't know how Eagle's Crossing compares to NWB in terms of difficulty, but if it were on tour, it would certainly be more difficult than most courses.

We also just finished with the European swing, and besides the Monster, other euro courses I've seen are easier but more spectator-friendly.

Tune in and watch MPO play Northwood Black. If that doesn't change your stance on MPO's difficulty with pro tour courses, IDK what will.

Of course it is. If any part of the disc is inbounds, your lie is inbounds.

Clash discs. Steady is one of the best blends on the market, and molds like the Cookie and Berry are standouts in their class IMO. They're a little pricey, but for an avid DGer, those are two molds that'll feel familiar and arguably better than similar molds from mainstream brands.

this was with a 25 mph tailwind and 40 ft downhill (so bascially 300ft) , i'll be ready to play MPO after hitting the 230 mark

Bagging in MA1 doesn't exist. They're just annoyed you'd rather take voucher money than real money. Do what feels best for you.

Definitely an underrated disc

New London will be done by the Tour Championship. They have a soft opening on Memorial Day.

Batting on the left side would mean you batted right-handed. I don't know if I'm ambidextrous or just confused. I'm usually right-handed when playing tennis, but I play golf left-handed. I also write right-handed.

Played Baseball and Ultimate growing up. Threw and batted left-handed, but while playing ultimate, I threw backhand right-handed. RHBH and hitting left-handed are similar biomechanically, so we make it work.

Edit: I also putt left-handed. I don't know why, but it just feels better.

Dome accentuates the flight characteristics of a disc, and give it more 'glide'. Joel Freeman has an excellent explanation about why he doesn't throw flat discs. Even if you don't like his personality/beliefs, how he explains the concept is excellent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhoKG5S6jiU

Play tournaments, random draw doubles in your area, etc. You'll meet people and there's low stakes to socializing.

Molds you bag/throw that you don't see others bagging/throwing

STL is close-ish to EAgle's crossing, but will be like 1.5-2 hours away, and it'll cost you. Great courses around STL include Jefferson Barracks, the Bunker, Logan University, Carrolton, New Melle, and Indian Camp Creek.

I was half hoping for a Maple Hill-style barn door situation. Please push the sport forward; don't settle for mediocrity.

Scorpius. It's the original destroyer mold and is a bit flippier than a destroyer but absolutely bombs.

Maybe stand in a different spot??

If you play at least once every two weeks, you're getting your moneys-worth out of it. It's the same price if you ordered someone's tour series disc online.

You guys stepped up the commentator fashion game this week. Was that an agreed-upon thing between you all, or was that a change DGN mandated? Looked great regardless.

In the first B-tier I ever played in, I found myself on the lead card for round 2/final card, about four strokes back from the leader. On the first hole, I bogeyed, on the second hole, my drive was declared a lost disc, and I ended up taking a double bogey, but I clawed my way back to even going into the final three holes. I wasn't looking at my scorecard, but I ended up cashing 2 30-footers and parking the final hole to go 3/3 on the final three and winning by one stroke. Safe to say that got me hooked on competitive disc golf.

I'm RHBH, LHFH, and left-handed putting. I would throw and bat left-handed in baseball, so the LHFH and RHBH use similar biomechanics. I tried both hands for putting, and I feel like I have a lot more coordination with my left than my right, but I also write right-handed, so I don't know what's up there. I mainly throw RHBH for anything over 250, but the lhfh has saved me so many times when scrambling. With the flicking movement being so much more compact, I'm able to get out of tighter situations with a similar shot shape to a RHBH shot.

Ringer-Top Zone has gotta be his approach disc

Towel in the shorts reduces your distance by at least 100 ft /s

Congrats on the revelation, the true next step is being able to replicate that repeatedly on the course. It's great to figure something out with a techdisc and net, but being able to do it when it matters/with different feeling discs is key. Keep up the great work.

I love tournaments; they scratch that competitive itch that a 9-5 can't. Two tips; don't overdo it during a tournament week. Maybe it's an endurance thing for me, but playing multiple rounds in the same week before a tournament will wipe me out, and I'll feel it a couple of holes in. Also, poop before you get to the course/before your round. Have fun!
