  • Hey everyone! I feel pretty proud of this one, played a good round at Kilborne in NC and tried to really focus in on explaining my thought process/strategy for practice rounds in preperation for tournaments, and just some tips in general that I hope will help you improve your game.

    This is why I got annoyed when someone on r/discgolf said Uli is dumb. Yeah he's a goof ball, but if you think he is dumb you aren't actually listening to him talk about disc golf. Uli is one of the most analytical golfers in the pro field he's broken down and rebuilt his own game multiple times and continues to do so. If anyone wants to become a better disc golfer this is who you should listen to because the tools he uses to get top 10 finishes are the same ones you can use to improve your game. Thanks Uli for being such a great ambassador for the sport and showing people that disc golf is about thinking about your game just as much as it is about execution.

      Going about your normal life and speaking eloquently is one thing. Public speaking, or being on camera is another level, and for as much as he speaks on camera I think he does a good job.

      @jacobclaeys5178 Před 2 lety

      For real he goofs off and stuff in the micd up practice rounds but anyone with a brain can tell he knows what hes talking about if you actually listen to him. One of my favorite people in the disc golf world.

    I respect the hustle you've shown this past year, Uli! You've really become one of my favorite touring pros thanks to your personality and abilities. And your CZcams channel is becoming one of my favorites. Can't wait to check out 'From Scratch to Scratch'. Keep it up in 2021!

      I agree. Very good insight on intelligent decision making and how to apply with your own skill level. Disc golf gets players thinking "must park with that perfect throw" off every teepad, and becomes frustrating when you cant. Making educated decisions and high probability throws makes the game much more enjoyable.

  • @johnmaher5887
    @johnmaher5887 Před 3 lety +45

    "I'm not lucky, I'm playing intelligently". After this video, I believe it, Paul. Great insight into your thought process. Thanks for the video!

      I realize this video is 2 years old but it just popped up on my Home view probably because I've been watching so much vlogmas this year. I just came back to the game 2 years ago after a 20 year hiatus (job, family, blah, blah blah). Re-discovery of the game has been an absolute joy and your PDGA videos are some of the best breakdowns I've seen. The ability to do something well doesn't always translate into an ability to teach. You do both superbly.
      A quote a coach/trainer of mine once shared..."Luck is when preparation meets opportunity." Training, preparation, intelligent choices increase the probability of things unfolding in your favor (often referred to as "Luck" by those less prepared).
      Keep rockin it Uli!

  • @mang0Master
    @mang0Master Před 3 lety +30

    This is best practice round of disc golf I've ever watched! There are plenty of practice round videos out there, but your video gives context and strategy into your mind set, disc selection, and shot selection. Please create more videos like this!

  • @agetori7743
    @agetori7743 Před 3 lety +5

    All good points. I like the "think you're the furthest away" thinking so when you get there, you think "oh it's not that bad" and make that f'r!

  • @176novick
    @176novick Před 3 lety +1

    @connerloes7224 Před 3 lety +1

    I consider myself a good putter and have played for a long time but that was one of first things you said to me that I had never heard too many ppl focus on making it instead of just form and a release point so true and simple

  • @chriscrowder8621
    @chriscrowder8621 Před 3 lety +1

    @ctoepper Před 2 lety

    Uli, you’re the best - this video speaks volumes to your professionalism, dedication, and passion about the sport. How lighthearted you can come across in the ‘mic’d up practice rounds’ doesn’t give way to show how thoughtful you are about your own game. Glad to see someone take themselves seriously but in a healthy way- thanks for the fuel to keep wanting to improve 💯✊

  • @hmfrye
    @hmfrye Před 2 lety

    In March of 2021, I got back into Disc Golf, after a 4-5 break ...I let life & work distract me. As part of trying to improve my form, I attended a clinic and started watching "how to" videos on YT. Then I started watching whole Tournaments, so I became familiar seeing Paul provide commentary ...but I had no idea he had instructional videos, until one came across my feed. I really like how he breaks things down and the way he can clearly explain concepts/techniques! Needless to say, I subscribed and will begin binge watching his videos.

  • @jaynorris3631
    @jaynorris3631 Před 3 lety

    @mattm8291 Před 3 lety +7

    So rad that a professional disc golfer is doing this on a course I play often, love the video format of breaking down your shots on each hole, not many pros are making vids like this, it really appeals to the regular guy like me just playing for fun but still wanting to play well and understand shot selections! Oh and by the way I'm totally getting a Uli Z Raptor!

    These are the things I'm always telling my friends. We all just started in 2019, but watching guys like you has helped improve my game ten fold.

Got my first tournament coming up and I'm excited to take it to the next level. Thanks Mr. Prime.

    I loved this tutorial round! Without the commentary accompanying your shots and shot selection, fans have to educatedly guess the why behind the throw. This is great for beginners to intermediate players like myself - and I’m on board for more of these rounds.

    @1badegg09 Před 3 lety

    I love seeing these technical break downs of shot selection and course attacking. I imagine at this point it's something you can just naturally incorporate into your game but as a novice it's eye opening, I was already thinking "midrange up the middle" and then you pointed out how throwing the Machete on anny would open up the gap. Great video, looking forward to the next!

It needs to be more widely accessible to us normal folks so we all can help promote DG! Awesome job as always!!!
