I use the Glitch as a C2 putter and approach disc when I'm just outside C2. I've had more throw-ins with a Glitch than any other disc.
Same, circle two+ pitch
Maybe bc thats the one u use for such shots🫣
I don't use my Glitch during rounds, however, it is as critical for my warm up process as putting at the basket from 15-20. The Glitch doesn't lie, if my nose angle is wrong, it gives instant feedback and it really helps lock in some form items before having to make adjustments after my second or third hole. Also true for a "focused" catch session - helps to lock in nose angle and hyzer angles as well.
I use the glitch all the time under 30-100 feet. Instead of laying up I feel more confident in running it and have a lot more throw-ins and a lot less roll aways making death putts less scary. I love the Glitch 🔥
The Simon Lizotte effect
It was the highest selling disc on the market before he signed with MVP bub. When it first was released, it sold out everywhere had a $50 secondary market price. All before Simon
I've only used a glitch during a round a few times for floaty bids, but it is the perfect disc for my elementary-aged kids. They don't seem to mind the depth, and they have fun throwing it.
I got a misprint pitch for sale and it made the bag. Good for long throw in opportunities, touchy turn forehands, and short placement shots especially since I play ultimate as well so there was no learning curve for me.
In the old poll I said I don’t use them, but that has changed now
I got it in 158g so it’s no too flippy for me (even when throwing it near the 300ft mark)
I use a glitch. As a newer player I tend to have my fair share of shanks every now and then. Throwing from wierd footing or not ideal positions on a course the glitch helps me get some easy distance due to its glide and its neutral flight.
Agreed, I use it as a utility putter and love it's application
Hey Greg! I throw my Spore all the time within 150 feet. It always lands soft and flat. Its extremely soft plastic and always sits right where I land it. Its Lazer straight if you throw it on hyzer with a some touch. If you power it to much it will flip over. It requires touch for sure. But I rely on it a ton.
I love using the Glitch for patent pending shots...sounds like the Pitch might be even better for that!
I bought a used innova Sonic at my local shop for $7 and it is probably my favorite disc ever. I saw 1/2/-4/0 and I had to try it. It’s amazing to me how many times I need this thing, and how many times in the past I needed it. Got a glitch a while back. Brought it out 2 times and it’s been in my trunk ever since. It has no utility for me like the sonic.
Fun to throw around camp. I would be interested in a review of macro discs and mini used for throwing.
I bag a Glitch. I like to use for approach shots that I need to stall and land softly. It's a disc that matches up with my throwing style well but I understand why some just don't care for it. I guess that's why so many different molds exist. So far I prefer the hand feel of the Glitch over the Pitch but I would like to see the Pitch in Neutron Soft for a better comparison.
I've used Glitches in casual and competitive rounds since it was released. Mostly on more wooded courses for shots of 60-200 feet, when a softer touch is more important to get through/around technical parts of a hole. I also have a few Spores on the shelf and while I like the way they fly, I'm more likely to use them during colder weather and/or winter series rounds because of how soft the plastic is. I like both molds.
I just bought the Spore from Six Sided Discs. I actually bought it as a throw and catch disc, but I love the design and didn’t want to throw it. Maybe I will now. Thanks for another great video, Greg!
Pitch ftw
I love the Halo Polecat. I use it for everything 230 and in. True point and shoot. Love it
I ❤️ my Glitch. Straight as an arrow. Warm up by playing catch with it.
I had one Glitch, which I promptly yanked into another pocket dimension, but the depth was offputting for me. I did turn one gimmick into another, as I do love the Doomsday Depth Charge for another "no speed, fly like a brick, and stop with no ground play" specialty. Different strokes for different folks. Next on the table for me? You've covered the "Thunderbird" slot, now what about the Sphinx, Heat, Roadrunner, understable 9-speed hyzer-flip noodle-arm slot? Compare what Caleb would want that slot for (rollers, massive turnovers) compared to the noodle armed hyzer-flippers (me!).
It would be great to have a comparison of the Sphinx, Heat, and Roadrunner (and others in that slot).
I wish you would've added the Rattler and the Beetle to the conparison. I bag the new proton soft Glitch for it's small add to the stability. I use the Glitch for approaches where I don't have room for a proper reach back and some fun runs from around 100 ft.
I don't bag any of them, but Glitch only rounds are some of the most fun I've had and I eagerly await PoCaWoCha every year
I have a Spore (Cloud Stone version) in the bag, but use it almost exclusively for floating nose up putts under tree branches or if I have to release the putt from below the rim of the basket. I've got a Pixel in the bag for those straight, floaty 100-180 foot approaches.
I've bagged a Lat64 Bite for the past 5 years and it does occasionally get thrown in play. I like it for short range tomahawks with soft landings and both forehand and backhand turnovers at slow speeds (great patent pending disc). It's not 100% essential that I have that disc but it also doesn't take up any space since it slots like a lid over my slammer.
I have one of the original green Glitches with the black edge and a black one. The only reason I have them is my wife got them for me as a birthday present, so I've tried to make them work.
I only throw them for upshots when there is no wind, as I am old, broken and don't have a lot of wrist strength, they get me more distance with less effort in upshot sitiuations. For me, an upshot that would qualify would be
It would need interesting to compare it to a latitude 64 dagger disc. Dagger is listed as speed 2 but it’s basically a frisbee.
I got the Glitch in a Gyropalooza mystery box I was given for Christmas. I tried it for a few rounds but it was hard to control as a throwing putter or approach disc. Mine sailed off long to the right typically. If I worked with it It would probably become accurate.
I bag either a Spore or Glitch (depending on the wind) as a utility disc for my tournaments. I also throw at Denver elevation...discs glide a lot less at a mile above sea level
Love my spore. I'll use it in rounds for a Circle 3+ putter runner when I'm trying to ring up the chains but can safely miss long.
Another great video!
I usually only bag one (usually a Polecat) if I'm playing a hilly course and I know I'm gonna be throwing a lot of forced standstills plus they're easier to match the grade of the hill and prevent roll aways.
I use it playing doubles. When my partner parks it, and I have the green light to run the basket, I like the glitch. I pretend the basket is a person
I bag a cloud stone version of the spore. I love it as an approach disc.
It could very much be me and not the disc, but I bagged a Glitch for a few months and just never thought I threw any good shots with it.
I’ve got a glitch and watt that get use in my regular casual rounds but on select holes, usually the dinker ace runs.
I, like a lot of people, fell into the hype of the glitch and was throwing it for everything but now I realize its real use is mostly when you have a low ceiling upshot or putt so you can float it close with minimal effort. That's my take anyways.
I find them useful for a few, admittedly specific, areas. I use it to practice throwing with no wobble, as my pitch/glitch has low tolerance for this. Clean release! Secondly, it’s great to give to new players as a preface to disc golf discs, if they are familiar with traditional frisbees/ultimate style discs. Lastly, although I do not play in tournaments, I still use them for a specific upshot, high gentle turn with no chance of fading, but I want it to glide in and just sit…maybe 100-150 ft max. Don’t have to throw it as hard as other discs I could use in this slot!
Albeit ive only been playing about 8 months but I picked up a glitch because a friend I play with regularly throws one to great effect and I was hoping I could get the disc to have the same type of flight for me; sadly it doesn't and forehand or backhand I tend to turn mine over or sail 80 feet in a direction I wasn't aiming so it stays out of my bag unless I'm having a fully "for fun" round where I'm just out to have a great time with the family
pitch and putt courses are perfect for these hybrid discs imo
I'm betting the Streamline Parachute is gonna fly more like the Spore. MVP said the idea for the Pitch and the Parachute is to have glitch like discs that are more over or understable. With the Pitch being flipper, look for the Parachute to be alittle beefier
I enjoy the Glitch but at the same time think of it as like a collectable or memey disc rather than something I use regularly. I find its flight very unpredictable sometimes turning over like crazy sometimes holding dead straight with a slight fade. I also hate the glide while putting I hit the top band with it constantly because I expect it to drop some and it just doesn't. The Spore looks interesting though. I think that 1 fade might be what I want for some reliability in the disc.
I use my glitch for actual throws every round. Max distance on an absolute rope is 95m so far, behaves so good in a tailwind.
Glitch and Armadillo are my main putters. Depends on wind speed. I just make more putts with them.
I can land my glitch on a dime anywhere within 200' and it's a laser beam out to 260'. I don't throw it every shot, but I throw it more often than the firebird in my bag.
Personally I use a Beetle and I do throw it during the round. I love it for short backhand approaches and pitch outs
Played a round with a 72 year old yesterday and he was putting with a glitch. I have one but don't bag it, it stays in my car and only gets used for pregame warmup.
I just haven't enjoyed throwing the Glitch as much as the other 1 speeds. I like it's profile, but I prefer 1 speed putters to be a touch more stable, and max weight. I'll use a Berg or Dillo before a Glitch again.
No love for the Polecat? In Halo Star its my favorite disc on the market.
For me it’s for floaty anhyzer approaches that have to hold a line for maybe only 100’.
You've got a lot of very expensive dog toys there...
For me the issue is the weight, is there a reason they aren't producing these discs in usable weights?
I've been playing for 10 years and I use a glitch. It's a super straight low effort disc that travels on a rope and holds every angle so if I'm scrambling or need a dead straight shot it's a glitch
I came from ultimate and I was really excited to try the glitch but after I threw it a few times I couldn't really find anything that it did that was useful to scoring well on the course. Its fun to throw, but it has too much glide to trust it on a shot that matters. The result could be spectacular or spectacularly awful. I prefer my slow discs to predictably drop out of the sky and hit the ground. I've never played competitive rounds with anybody who threw a glitch and scored well, but Im sure somebody out there has.
I bag a glitch. It only comes out for specific shots. Low power shots, air bounces, patent pending situations.
I don’t know how this has happened but I’ve thrown in 3 times this year from around 80ft with the glitch… out of 12 attempts. I play a lot and I only reach for it rarely, but somehow, it’s just as good from 80ft as I am C2 putting 😅
If the Glitch was 170g, I would absolutely use it far more often on course.
Do the research and let me know I’m in Michigan now, I’ll stop by the factory and check it out??
I really enjoy thr Spore.
When it comes to the Glitch, it's all about the weight. I have the eclipse glitch at 169g. People tell me that's the heaviest they've seen it in.
I agree. My gyropalooza came in at 161g and feels so much better than a 149g. I would have loved it in 169g. I keep a 151 r2 eclipse as my thread the needle spin putt disc and use the gyropalooza eclipse for the drive approach tasks.
@@McDroogy3 yeah. For sure the heavier glitch is more torque resistant.
No Lux Vapor spore? :p
Watt is my jam,, , ,!
Dont throw them and dont see why anyone would bag them. Never seen anyone pull out a glitch and do something amazing.
Literally any putter can do whatever a glitch does and then some
I am a MVPeep but I prefer a spore
I would like to find out what 7 speeds actually fly the same distance as 9 speeds.
So i throw my fairways about 300, mids about 270. I typically stick to 9 speeds as i need all the distance i can get and typical 7 speeds only go about 285 ish so there isnt much need for them as the distance is so close to mids and 9 speeds. 7 speeds do feel a little better in my smaller hands though and I have tried a few 7 speeds that end up going the same distance as my 9 speeds and it makes me wonder what 7 speeds i havent tried that might feel more comfortable and go as far as my 9 speeds.
People who hate the glitch are the same people who have bad form and use OS discs to make up for it. If your fave discs are the zone, envy, firebird, or destroyer, learn to throw
Why not just throw your putter .. I haven’t found anything a glitch does that my putter can’t do
No .. there’s plenty of discs that flies straight that I don’t need another fad in my bag
Why do the discs made by innova and discraft say made in the USA on them?
Right so why don’t MVP ? Because all there discs are made in china
Call mvp and ask them where there stuff is made. Ask why they don’t say made in USA???
David McCormack gateway designs with baskets made in the USA, mvp is thin Chinese crap waiting to be replaced
