Here we go Steelers Here we go !!!!
First, congrats, Uli! Your life will feel more full of love from this point forward.
There is a small advantage of putting inside the circle when you are tall with long arms. You're able to release the disc a lot closer to the basket than a shorter person its not a hidge advantage but it is an advantage. Love the show keep up the good work!
I don't understand why the difference between men and women in eye-hand coordination isn't being acknowledged. Of course I'm talking about averages, but overall, there IS a relatively large gap on average in eye-hand coordination. I can pick up a racquet ball or a golf ball, and throw it at a target on a wall 50 feet away, and I will be far more accurate than my wife and most women I know even though there is not a strength prerequisite for the motion. Are there women with better accuracy than me? Absolutely. Is it most women? No. So yeah, there are good putters in FPO, obviously, but on average it would be expected that the percentages inside the circle will still be lower than among MPO because there IS a difference in coordination.
MPO will always be more interesting to watch, because the average MPO player on tour is able to make shots that just aren't possible for even the best in FPO. My wife enjoys disc golf, but she has little interest in watching FPO unless Ohn is on coverage, and it's because she thinks its boring compared to watching MPO. It doesn't mean it isn't good disc golf, it's just not the most exciting.
There could be an argument for a small difference between men and women when putting inside the C1. Men are better at navigating in the three dimensional space. (hand eye coordination, motor skills)
FPO putting is worse because of MATH. There are just less women playing disc golf overall, the pool of players for MPO is much larger. Just making up numbers for an example, but say there’s 50,000 men playing disc golf tournaments every week and there’s 5,000 women playing every week. So if you take the top 50 players in the world for MPO you’d have the top 0.1% of all players and if you take the top 50 players in the world for FPO you’d have the top 1%. I think women can be as good as men putting its just there’s less of them overall competing so you have more variability in skill at the highest levels that we see on coverage.
Prize picks sponsor is huge
The tour life episode right b4 worlds was great! If you guys could that b4 every major that would be awesome
I'm afraid I won't be able to pull off the whole 'ripping a new one' (because I like politeness) – but I think especially Brodie is fundamentally wrong about FPO-putts.
Firstly, I agree that FPO should be able to putt as well as MPO. The take of longer arms etc. might have an impact, but very miniscule, at least inside the circle.
I'm pretty sure the main part is mental – and I don't get why nobody brings that up. I think a good example is an old study about why male students do better in math-tests than female students. The result was that girls were as good or mostly better than boys, but they had been told differently. The boys in the study just assumed that they were good in maths and that translated into their performance, despite actual short-comings.
I think the same is happening with putting. Men aren't essentially better putters, they're just better bullshitters. They're better in convicing themselves that they're amazing.
I can guess Brodie's answer to that already which would be along the lines of "well, tough luck" and that's were I wholeheartedly disagree with him. Him complaining and belittle-ing the FPO putting is part of the problem. If we as a society could be supportive and encouraging instead of mean this would really help (and result ultimately in better putting by the FPO-field).
Again I can guess Brodie's reaction: oh, sugar-coating, hugs for everybody, participation-medals… No, that's NOT what I'm saying – and besides, I'm so freaking tired of this whole black and white mentality, as if there are only extremes! Sorry, I love foundation, but "It's all or nothing" is such a dumb and wrong tagline!
Back to my point. I would like women to be better bullshitters. Easy as that. How can we bring FPO to be steadfast enough to get the disc to drop? Neither by belittling them nor falsly praising this. There needs to be a supportive mindset where it's acknowledged that this wasn't what any player wants and how to be mentally strong enough to do better next time.
Uli in this case would probably choose tough love, because that's how he had to do it back in the days and if one isn't strong enough then they're not serious about discgolf. I call bullshit on that too. I think most of us were made strong because of the people who had our backs and through small encouragements – which made it possible to overcome the assholes in our lives…
I want to make one thing very clear: I do not think that women are mentally weaker than men. I actually believe generally it's the other way around. But I think women are being told that they suck – and that's a fucking problem.
And yes, we could say "oh, but the world is tough and mean". Or we could choose to not participate and instead try to make a difference.
Based means you are planted in reality. Woke means you can change the meaning of words regardless of reality.
What? The cheifs punter is a massive piece of garbage toward random women? Nooooo!?
Are you guys a bunch of morons ?
I love the show, think about the Matrix take the blue pill and you'll wake up in your bed and none of this ever happened. Take the red pill and we can see how far this Rabbit Hole really goes
Hey fellas can we avoid the political talk since it's all fake? The only thing real to this point I've ever seen in life is disc golf, let's not ruin that
Based is a good thing if you arent an extreme left wing liberal.
Brody what if we were a drug dealer but we only sold drugs to disc golfers?
I think that polos in disc golf are better than jerseys. It’s hard to argue that a more professional look to the sport is a problem. The more professional the sport appears, the more outside advertisers/sponsors will be willing to invest in disc golf, boosting the growth of the sport.
My daughter “Brianna” I say she named herself she was named the day we left the hospital and we couldn’t come together on a name and then it just fit
Was kinda crazy
Brodie you are so absolutely wrong free throws in that era was a huge part of the game
Game were won and lost on free throws also free throws were a huge part of Shaqs game cuz his attempts were twice as much as anyone else
Hands down one of the funniest episodes. I’m f’ing cracking up over here. 😂
I think it’s crazy how the Brodie haters keep on trolling the show. Makes no sense.
If the FPO putts being discussed were good looking or close putts (spit outs, good amount of chains, etc), then it wouldn’t be so bad. I haven’t re-watched worlds, but watching live it felt like a ton of BAD putts (air balls, no-chancers).
This podcast rivals ESPNs best
When you all started talking about politics, it was such a breath of fresh air. Thank you!
Your* first $5 lineup… @13:59
Lol. Just got to the part in this one where Brodie called out my comment from last week. 😂 Nothing but love guys. I drive a lot so I listen to almost all of your episodes, but there have definitely been some (like last week’s FPO putting conference) where I just couldn’t power through. I appreciate you guys though and Ill always catch up on Tour Life right after Im done with Grip Locked. 🤣
This whole podcast is BASED
After you play you're first $5 lineup. That's about all you need to know about gambling sites.
Congrats Uli, can totally relate to everything. Just had our first born a month ago!
Start of the show thank me later 14:28
Brodie and Edwin are 100% correct about top X of each manufacturer being the most fair. It's about top talent, not how much money the whales can throw around. Sounds like Big Disc Golf got to Hunter. Investigate Hunter.
Congrats Uli!!!! I highly suggest having children if you're able to as well, nothing like it in the universe (sorry dog only owners, it's not even close 😂)
Shaq would be higher up on the all time scoring list
Sorry but the disadvantage women have putting is more than just because of their hand size. It’s not just strength either.
"Patrick Mahomes isnt the flashiest guy" WTF!! This is why you shouldn't talk FOOTBALL. DUDE is tossing passes behind his back, who is more flashy? 😅
Brod. Football comparison are stupid. Please save us time and never ever talk about another sport comparison. Uli congratulations on being a dad. Hats off 👏 best thing ever.
Uli for president
A 4ft putt in golf is equivalent to a about 24ft putt in dics golf in terms of disc size to golf ball size and then calculating the ratio of the basket size vs hole size. A disc golf basket is actually bigger in terms of ratio. If it were the same ratio a disc golf basket would be 5 inches smaller.
I didn't know I'd be catching strays today for preferring polos.
Hand size is less of the issue. Women on average have shorter arms. Which means the putter is on the plane for less time before the release. In every sport having longer arms helps. Shooting a basketball, throwing a baseball. A sniper rifle is more accurate than a pistol because the barrel is longer meaning the bullet is focused more in the intended direction.
How you gonna be on social media and not know regular internet slang from the past 5 years
I love Uli but his take on women Being at a disadvantage in putting due to smaller hands is a trash take! I will put my 10 year old son up Eveliina at 15ft putts any day! guarantee his smaller hands are not putting him at a disadvantage!
What are you talking about that no one wears polos? A LOT of the pros wear polos
Edit: I'm watching DGLO round 2 right now and about 70% of the players are wearing polos 😐
AB is Burrow. Am champ and tons of swag
I never knew Paul could sing😂 https://youtu.be/vHFXbFtJlhU?si=kAPhRgwHzzygigXt
Congrats uli! Best wishes and luck on your journey through fatherhood. Happy and healthy love it.
Can we not cut out the extremely long intros in the post production? 4:21 before it starts??
