This video is a response to my buddy Robbie C’s video about whether you should bag the Berg. We have differing opinions so I thought I would ask some other Berg lovers their thoughts and then poke a little fun atRobbie and then tell you why I love the Berg. Thanks for watching.

Pete, You are the man!
The Berg is the Swiss Army knife of approach discs. You should always have one in your bag. It is versatile and useful!
Well done video, Pete! The Berg is the people's brick! – Mike L.
I used to think the Zone was the king of all discs within ~200 ft. Then I got ahold of a Berg. Forget numbers/glide/whatnot – it just goes where you throw it.
I am 64 years old. When I started playing ball golf as a teenager I can remember when 60 degree lob wedges came out. I can recall the same "training wheel" argument. Now you can't find a pro golfer who doesn't carry a lob wedge. I love the Berg because it makes certain approach shots easier. Preach the Berg love Pete!
Drama queen. In seriousness, agree with the training wheel statement. It does seem like he has always said if you feel confident with a disc you should throw it. I like the berg for any kind of a death approach shot. Gives be confidence
What I can’t figure out with the berg is how to put with it. It always goes right for me. I can get it to go in if I throw it at the left side of the basket
You win the opening segment bit. Congratulations. There are discs I believe that starters should use (Mako3, River…), but I wouldn’t suggest the Berg to a beginner player. You did a very good job of refuting the arguments made by Robby, without getting personal. Congratulations. (I think the ‘training wheels’ is an innocuous insult, but an insult still the same). I spent years making beautiful origami when my children were younger—it never translated into paper airplane folding. One day. As an undiagnosed ADHD student I learned to sit in the front of the class to avoid distractions. Maybe that is why I could never fold airplanes.
Right on Pete a lot of creators are berg haters and it will give you a complex. I like to throw everything but 8 out of 10 approach shots with a berg usually will result with a tap in. Case in point I made an upshot with my favorite throwing putter praxis and it ended up scooting into the Hillsborough river that looks like iced tea from Debbie and I may find it on a low tide but if I would have used the berg that wouldn't have happened. Lesson learned when a water hazard is in play just use a darn berg.
I'm always so dissapointed to see other content creators do a berg only round and dissing the short distance that it throws or critisizes the fact that it doesn't fade for shot shaping. The Berg is just a point and shoot approach disc. I like the fact that you sort of have to throw it hard all the time as opposed to powering down on another disc to control the distance, which messes up my timing (I'm not a great player). I used to use the Berg a lot, then switched to a gold-X pure and later an opto-x pure for straight upshots, which throw a bit further than the Berg. But I recently lost them and I still had my Berg lying around, and I'm loving it again. I have a k1 soft Berg, that thing just drops to the ground and sticks like glue! It's such a reliable disc, I just needed to get used to throwing it harder than my pures 😀
Everyone carry’s “A” disc that does special task. So why not carry the. Berg if it does the job
My buddy just got a soft berg interest, mostly throw harder putters but liked it
If the berg is so good Pete, why haven’t you ever given me one when I play with you? 😂
