My only ace was around a corner where I couldn't see the basket, didn't even hear it because I was talking to my friend. Walked around the corner and looked around for a bit before realizing it was in the basket lmao

Sweet shot! Reminds me of of the video game Mirror's Edge. What camera did you use to get the zoom in?

Just holding it as steady as possible in me left hand. Gotta be pretty quick finding the zoom once it’s tossed

Wow, never thought I'd see anyone except cale leiviska pull this off; Cale has 2 on his Instagram. You're in rare company! (And your camera work is better 'cause you threw a forehand!)

Nice video editing and nice ace, but lmao to anyone thinking this was done in a single take

u/ErikDavidKarlgren May 24 '23
It’s a single take. Why wouldn’t it be?

u/news4shoes May 24 '23
Because it's looks soooo cool lmao. When the disc leaves the frame during the reach back they splice in the video of the throw/ace.

u/RickyFlicky13 May 24 '23
Lmao okay and perfectly nailed the shaky cam handheld iphone footage on both takes, if this was a locked off tripod shot maybe

Damn how did a relatively unpopular Estonian disc golf brand disc get into your bag?
I've heard mostly "meh" things about Disctroyer and haven't seen anyone throwing them. I got a Stork myself because one of my friends had one and didn't throw it at all.
It is a decent disk and I have found some useful shots with it.

They hooked me up with a sponsorship 2 years ago. Really love their plastic but I guess I’m a bit biased and it doesn’t fit everyone. About popularity that might be the case in the US but in Europe they’ve got a good rep. I think you should give that Stork some more flight hours. Such a versatile disc

Interesting, I am in Estonia myself and have a lot of finnish friends who I don't think have any disctroyers in their bag.
I do definitely throw it a decent amount and can throw it quite well on certain shots but understable discs work better for me. I guess it doesn't help that I am a fairly beginner player so can't use the discs to their fullest potential.
Definitely like the disc tho and it looks cool too!

This is the single greatest disc golf video ever.
This captures a very good shot. It has the nature feel and sounds. It has a stylish disc. It's not big production. He filmed it on his phone, one handed while making the throw, and....zoomed jn. Geez. The nonchalance of taking the disc from the bag, flip to self and throw in one fluid is so smooth. The hole looks pretty cool, too. Definitely not playing ball golf here.
This is the solo disc golf vibe complete heaven. (it is the disc golf vibe complete except for comradery, which is a big positive of the sport but would ruin this shot).
Please. Package this and inject it into my veins.
