Hi everybody my name is Zoe andik and this is my thought space Athletics in the Bag I’m going to go from my fastest speeds to my slow speeds and that obviously end with my Putters then we’ll talk a little bit more about the contents of my bag so just reaching in here with my main drivers I have an overstable super overstable Zeus and

This is really only ever pulled out for like major ripping headwind and if I have to go so extreme left it’s just not even funny I can’t get maxed distance with this driver it’s literally in here as a tool for headwind and something that just has to go ridiculously left doesn’t come out

Actually even during every tournament or practice round I play it’s just there for when I need it always carrying this year a DK cataclysm this is actually by doomsday discs but Dustin Keegan is my travel life partner and best friend and so him having his name on a disc this year here

It’s really important to me this is a very flippy distance driver and uh just kind of gives you that extra boom boom when you’re not feeling like crushing and ripping your arm out of socket the cataclysm is kind of a fun one I would recommend trying

It I’ve got now um one of the more overstable Emperors in my bag now I will throw this in a headwind I’ll throw this without any wind I’m throwing this for max distance up any Fairway whether it be a par three four or five max distance

That’s going to get a little bit of flip up to flat but we’ll always finish with a pretty leftand drastic turn I’m a righty backhand dominant thrower so that’s the shots I’m describing right now uh it’s pretty much the only time I’m pulling this one out is Max D and

Make sure it finishes left now I want to go to my very very flippy eye blend Emperor now this is kind of like a do-it-yourself roller or if I’m at High elevations or I have a really drastic uphill shot I’m definitely going to throw this disc for max distance up a

Hill super super high elevation again this is the disc that’s going to get the farthest straight I can put it down on a roller distance rollers backhand are always a fun shot with this do it yourself easily and then again because it’s a 12-speed I like the 12 speeds for

My distance drivers this is coming out anytime I’ve got to pull off a very tricky shot that might might want to finish right or if I put it on a drastic Heiser I can flip it up to Flat to pans straight so next thing I pull out of the

Bag the most often and I’m actually going to flip them out because now we’re talking thought space and we’re talking the art of thought space my glowy Mantra this was my very first signature driver on team thought space uh it is the glow plastic it shines the brightest and

Again I throw backhand rollers with this flip to flat or big huge panning right an heisers because this is a very flippy disc and that’s a shot and a tool we all need in our bags the stamp itself I mean it holds so much power it’s actually it

Reminds me of my rhythm and routine and sometimes when you’re on the T box you might be thinking a little bit too much about got to get the most distance or got to hit the line but don’t forget to go through your entire routine practice the things that you adopt as your own

Mantra okay from there carry usually just a minimum of two different Sphinx molds thought space Athletics actually designs even though this is an infinite disc they always design my stamps and I’ve had my name on this disc for I think four years now it’s a speed n and

Depending on the stability this one’s very beat up so it can pan right but this one is a little bit more overstable and domier versus flatter of a sphinx and the Sphinx is a sweet disc I always like to say it’s like if a if a disc

With zero stability and a disc with some under stability decided to get together and glide farther than anything you can imagine so the speed n can go as far as my distance drivers but I have some safety when I’m throwing it it can put

The it can put the brakes on at just the right time and I’m getting max distance out of it so both sphinxes are swirly s blend and they’re my stamp this one’s pretty faded you can tell it’s my my good old favorite number one in the bag

But yeah pretty much putting a new one in just about every every couple of months because I like that finish on the newer ones whereas these are going to finish straight for me and back to another different plastic Mantra I love the stamp on this one and

I always tell people if you like the way the stamp looks on your disc you might throw it better if you love something you treat it a little bit I don’t know better and so I just love this one on the aura plastic it’s also a little bit

More stable than my glowy Mantra and so and it it flies differently than the Sphinx is I can get some flip up to flat on this one but it’ll finish harder than a sphinx and that is something different for the Mantra blend actually or the Mantra mold again I’m used to it being

Super understable where I can depend on this one to finish for me and now I want to talk about more overstable discs because we will have headwind and we’ll have a lot of Fairways that direct us left the construct I am so into the construct right now I have a very nice

Dyed Dr Dre stamp um and if anybody out there knows me they know I spend a lot of my off time studying hip hop freestyle and um just a lot of rap and and freestyle type jams Dr Dre writes or makes some of the best beats and he this

Is the third edition of him in my bag since I started playing disc golf and it’s on a construct it’s a super powerful disc it’s overstable for me I mean I can get it to fly straight for quite a while but it’s going to finish

Hard uh I can play a lot of skip shots with this and when I do pull out my forehand for approaches I will throw either the construct or The Omen so the construct um one other thing I want to say about that disc is that I put it up

Onto drastic Hiser shots if I need to go up and over or around anything and finish sharp left it’s going to be the construct and if I have to get sharper left than something that I I don’t tip typically have to go that sharp I’m

Going to I’m going to go over to the omen now it’s not quite as fast as the construct for me but this disc is definitely made for a sidearm or a flick approach Drive anytime you want to throw it this is the disc that’s going to go

To the right now for me flick you know a little sidearm the alen is just cool too and I have continued to change up the omen stamps they’re they’re all just so awesome when you look at thought space art it gets you and The Omen has to be just a beef cake

I mean a brick and the artwork itself gives you that kind of like Assurance because it’s such a strong stamp that it’s going to go to the right you can trust those stamps you can trust that disc um and now my last Fairway but slower driver I always keep Paige Pierce

In the bag it’s one of my best friends one of my buddies I’m super proud of all of her accomplishments and when she actually tooled the passion this is a Discraft passion there was no way I wasn’t going to throw it and it immediately replaced my straightest kind

Of medium speed thrower in a tbird and so I’ve never ever had a t- bird in the bag since I put the passion in and every time I pull this disc out I know it’s going dead straight I can throw it for something short like 20 250 feet and I

Can also get it to go pretty far I can throw this I’m going to say around 320 330 if I’m really railing on it but the thing is is I can trust it to fly straight and finish straight and I love it all right my mid-ranges uh the only ace that I have

Right now on thought space or with a thought space mold is my original Pathfinder the Pathfinder is one of the coolest mid-ranges out there because you can trust it to go straight you can trust it to Glide for days to me Glide is really important a lot of my game is

Really played on GL with glide very Glide worthy discs and so this uh this mid-range is something that not only does it go neutral and straight but any angle that you’re putting it on it will fly so I can get this thing to pan right if I’m hitting it with the proper

Angle and putting enough Force into it but I can also throw a Hiser with it so that kind of tells you it’s an everything disc and it’s a mid-range so it’s not going to get too squirly when once it’s going to hit the ground it

Won’t go kick up and roll or get a lot of Skip it’s going to stick right there where you want it to land so Pathfinder has got to be one of the best molds and most popular molds that we sell I’m sure it’s a super Dependable disc and now my

Current favorite again it’s my stamp it’s the Mana the thought space Mana it’s about everything that this disc can do it encapsulates literally everything I feel and I think about when I when I play disc golf it’s my passion it’s my work it’s my daily desire desire it’s my

Athletic and happy activities the Mana encapsulates that because it can do so many different shots it can glide far it can it can also just be a chip shot so this is a speed five but it has all kinds of variant if you put it onto

Sharp angles you can get it to fly right or left on the angle you want but the thing about this disc that is really the most incredible is that maybe sometimes slower arm speeds will’ll have a hard time getting something to hold anheiser or hold that right side right hand Pan

The Mana does it for you I mean and it’s not just going to like knife down to the ground it’s going to fly and then pan to the right if you put everything into it uh this disc is it’s also really nice for smaller hands uh bigger hands can

Throw it but because of that five-speed like thickness on the rim it feels it feels like a disc that you could throw as a driver for a newer player or for some slower arm speeds and it’s just like a really easy disc for people to start off with or begin their Disc Off

Career with um again really beautiful stamp so it makes me smile when I throw it the happier you feel inside right before you’re going to release a shot the better the shots going to fly so love this stamp love this disc get a Mana if you don’t have one in your bag

Just know that once you put one in your selection of your in your tool bag will now become much larger you can do more with this disc and at the current moment got a nice little knee pad in there uh I have a Zone a good old Discraft Zone because

It is so overstable for those sidearm chip shots or for those really drastic I’ve got to get left and use some ground action skip I’m going to throw the zone and the time that I wouldn’t throw that I would throw the thought space temple this is a a brand new clean beauty that

I just put in the bag for this weekend um so it doesn’t have a beautiful stamp on it right now I’m trying to figure out what I want to put on there but the temple is the Chip Shot sidearm that I don’t want to skip too far but that will

Hold up in the wind as well Zone and Temple different uses very drastic very trustworthy not going to skip too far all right now I’m going to move on to my Putters uh throwing Putters first let’s go with again Paige in the bag got the passion this is one of the

Or excuse me the fierce this is one of the very um this is the first disc that Paige ever got to put some tooling on and it is an underst stable throwing putter for me if I have a huge distance putt that’s uphill you might see me putt

This one towards the basket again it’s a big jump putt uphill lot of distance to carry I need that Glide passion’s a great disc and then for my my neutral to stable throwing putter I know looks like it’s the Mantra but don’t worry it’s not

A driver this is a prais okay it is my throwing putter I have literally never had the practice out of my bag since I started throwing For Thought space um and I was actually on team thought space before we even had molds so when the practice came out instantly it became my

Number one throwing putter or throwing of a slow speed now I’m so lucky that the guys at the warehouse love me so much that they put one of my special signature stamps on it but this glow will hold up it will never flip over on

Me I can throw it straight for days or I can throw it straight and let it finish it’s always hunting basket but it’s landing and not getting a lot of ground play practice is it I’ve also chained out of so many aces with this disc I

Know it’s hunting basket I trust it I believe in it the practice is something everyone should have in the bag and then there’s my putting Putters I’m I’m the 2018 World putting Champion for the female Pro open Division and so daggers are what I did it with um the dagger is

Super deep dish unlike all of the other Putters I just showed you there’s something about that big bead in that deep dish but it’s really like the hard plastic I’m a hard plastic putter always have been doesn’t matter if it’s hot weather or cold weather hard plastic

Does it for me and the daggers Glide and they just go straight they have no right to left variants and I love them so daggers do it for me daggers to the heart of the basket daggers all day is what you will see me putting unless I

Need that little bit of Glide from the passion or kind of that turnover putter anheiser putter line it’s the only time I’m going to stray from the dagger and that’s actually what’s in my bag what I’m throwing with want to transition really quickly to talk about

What else is in my bag that makes the disc golf round happen make sure I’m safe make sure I’m taking care of out on the course doing everything proper you have to have a mini to mark your discs so I was carry one of Dustin and I at the 2018 World

Championships and then my number one mini during competition is Paige and I this was clear back in 2017 uh just one of our years touring together how can you not smile when you see something like that on your mini and you would want to smile whether you’re showing it outwardly or you’re just

Smiling inside right before you put you got to have a solid confident and for me just kind of a Happy Feeling makes you feel good when you’re making putts so you probably want to feel good right before you release the Putter and the last thing I do is take a a quick look

At the mini before I release the disc both of these make me extremely happy there’s good Juju in the minis as well all right my bag itself is pound I’m super lucky to be carrying the most comfortable and the best bag on the market everything is made right here in

Uh the United States it’s a beautiful bag you can custom make them can’t say enough things about them but it’s really about the support and making sure that my lower back feels good and that my shoulders have enough cushion this is also a very weatherproof bag so it doesn’t matter the conditions

That I’m in anywhere in the world this bag is going to hold up for me and like the confidence of knowing that is super important so couldn’t say enough great things about the pound bag and the rain flies that they make for them but now I want to just talk quickly about what

Inside of it or outside of it I’ve got this beautiful Eagle pin everybody in disc golf loves birdies and loves Eagles you know Eagles usually mean it’s like an ace or an albatross so I’ve got a lot of JuJu on there and it’s about who

Gifted it to me it was the very first board president of the nonprofit that I founded and currently direct called you play Disc Golf my first board president Marshall Peter gave me that pin and he empowers me with a lot of confidence and a lot of just kind of clear motiv ated

Thinking which is what you have to have if you want to be successful in any disc golf round be it casual or tournament got to have those elements inside of you and when I’m looking at that pen I’m feeling those things uh oh finishing looking at the

Outside of the bag I got some special Patchwork out over here Cole ralin Dustin and I uh put the first discs in Cole’s hand and he’s currently winning Pro Tour events so I got to shout out some of the some of the biggest accomplishments of my life and education

And Cole ralin fits under that huge category Miss Ganon close friend I’m traveling or usually traveling with and rooting for bevel Brewing Nan Val big shout out and Justin Sumer um I guess you could call me a lifelong sponsored bevel ET and that’s just kind of a one

Of those things where I support I support the work they’re doing for the world of disc golf to become better and more available to everyone I enjoy doing some of my commentary work with them for the disc golf Network and I really enjoy their life goals executing them staying

Committed and that’s bevel Brewery so a lot of big support there Val Jenkins has been on my board of directors also in up play and thinking looking at that patch and thinking about that type of commitment and that type of support just gives me confidence this is the DK

Basket or Dustin Keegan kind of patch if you will and DK is my everything in case you haven’t noticed he’s he’s literally like the the wind under my sales so I got to have that patch Luke humph you know I got a shout out Luke and hogi and

Angie my team big supporters again huge for the game and the growth and everything that speaks volumes to why I’m doing everything I’m doing in disc golf Luke has a big piece in my heart and commitment to the nonprofit into the game so he’s on the bag and last patches

I’ve always always carried anything that had to do with Paige so I got the the fierce patch I’ve also always repped Canada and Canadian disc golf very hard I’ve got some um Canadian roots in the blood but it’s really more so about what’s going on East Coast West Coast

Central everything in between all the provinces have something special going on in disc golf and I’ve always known it and counted myself a huge part of it um and so I’ve got I’m always repping the Canadian flag and my very first um Paul McBeth Foundation partnership educational sustainability trip was to

Guatemala there’s a ton more of those coming up but I’m really proud to be able to do the work I do and rep in the countries that I feel like we’ve done great work in so I’ve got that Guatemala flag and I want to kind of speed things

Up everybody’s got to have towels extra towels towels everybody’s got to have snacks hopefully healthy gluten-free dairyfree low sugar count would be my recommendation um got the nice little cell phone pouchy there but up and then water again then you got your Rangefinder I also carry like a good luck crystal in there

Rocks and gems and things of the Earth are important to me but got another the range sometimes you can’t just guess with your eyes shout out to uh The Edge Rangefinder because like that’s a huge part of the game and really when they when we were able to start using

Rangefinders in the game I think it elevates the level of play and those are just cool things the professional game of disc golf this one’s important trash Panda mini with a udisk QR code I always carry these to give away you don’t know when you’re going to meet somebody that

Doesn’t know what disc golf is or that’s new to disc golf and everybody loves like a free mini a free giveaway but if you’re giving them udisk and you’re telling them about trash Panda those are two companies I can get behind and that I’m partnered or friends with and

Supported by with the nonprofit and the more you can give the gift of disc golf or make it accessible for people the better we’re doing in the sport so I always carry two three or four trash Panda minis with a udis QR code make sure everybody can access the best disc

Golf anywhere in the world um and let’s see that’s bringing us to my final Pockets always got my whale sack this specifically is a you play whale sack but I think I was one of the first people um on team whale sacks and I trust the tack that whale sack

Gives my sweaty hands slick hands well sacks is where it’s at uh sunscreen of course I always carry chapstick or hand sanitizer for those really sticky situations if you’re getting sap or um any kind of any kind of stickiness on your disc it doesn’t take long if you

Put some of that hand sanitizer or chapstick on it and just wipe it with a lot of force right off your disc that’s a pro tip you can’t throw discs that are sticky get that off of there KCK carry the proper items in your bag to do it

That’s what I do it with um and then in this pocket got a bunch of bag dollars in case you see an ace or just in case you really want to reward someone and make their Day always carry bag dollars if you’re in the running you know 20

They’re running 50 the five you want to pay anytime you see a magic shot or a miracle shot and that’s an ace you want to be a part of that club no matter if you’re a new disc golfer or a pretty seasoned old touring disc golfer carry

Bag dollarss it’s a sign of respect and it sure is motivating when you see those cool shots to reward them um and then yeah I guess I I just want to finish this whole thing out by oh it must be down here even if you don’t carry them in

Your bag um I’ve got my 10 processing goals and this is like the gnarliest because I laminated it with tape in like 2013 but I’ve got my my uh my 10 processing goals with the 11th bonus on there and I don’t even pull them out to

Read them anymore but if you have ever taken a clinic from me if you’ve ever been to any of my motivational speeches maybe some of the reason thought space uh wanted to put me on the team originally is that my processing goals and everything about the way I

Play disc golf is something I’ll never stray from I typed him out years ago I’d recommend doing the same for your own game write it on the back of a disc type it out put it somewhere in there tattoo it inside of your heart whatever it is

Stick to what it is that you believe in stick to those fundamentals that brought you into the game and develop and add upon them in your passion um that’s what disc golf’s all about that’s why it makes us all happier when we play and we

Get a chance to play and that’s why we want to share the game with so many this golf is different and it’s Unique and I want to thank you for watching and listening to my in the bag it’s all in my my heart and uh hopefully it helped You
