I have a disc raptor. I would say there is value in it over the towel. The disc raptor is just as "bulky" as a towel haning over your bag. Difference is, your not walking around with a dirty, or wet, towel getting your fingers dirty, or wet, and reapplying that same dirt, or moisture, on your disc as your cleaning it. The disc raptor solves that problem for us clean freaks and saves you a significant amount of trips to the laundry room. 😂
Okay okay that's fair. I'll give it a little more credit after that. The amount of times I clean my disc off with a dirty towel is insane. hahaha Probably why I'm always sick.
When playing in the rain, I really like to use friction gloves. Range finders were mentioned earlier. I use one for practice only, for setting up targets at different distances. Never used one while playing. Thanks for the video.
I have a speaker all the time. However when i walk up to a crowded tee pad to play thru i always turn it down/pause it. Same if the teepad is near the previous pin. Just trying to be respectful of my fellow players.
Good man! Yeah, It's one thing if you're blasting it playing right next to another group haha. However, it has happened to me, and you gotta expect people to do what they want if that happens to ya LOL.
I'd wear the disc holster just in my everyday life. You never know when a plastic needs metals. Like walking around the mall, ready to throw. Glad I finally got a retriever this last xmas. OFF is a for sure. I got a rare tick disease a couple years ago. Tulemaria aka Rabbit Fever Great video Let's Throooooooooooow!!!
The Propull is not good for physical training imo, but if you are working on form indoors its really great, especially for forehand formwork which lets the disc in hand show the hinges and what joints are "weak". Just need to be careful to not get a tennis elbow/epicondylitis since its not a good way to strength train. I got it as a gift and when the weather was the worst I didn't have to risk any windows. The thing different from you is I got sunset before I have any free time over to do anything now during winter... the snow makes things brighter but that also makes it hard to get anything done outside without spending the last light to search for discs :P I actually use it to both get to hold a disc and do the motions against impingement in my shoulder just like a normal resistance band. Not picked it up this winter yet, but will do soon. ;D
The pro pull is based on a fundamental misunderstanding of how backhand form works. It’s literally working your start a lawn mower muscles. The throw is about horizontal movement slamming into the brace and turning to rotational force. Not pulling hard. I can’t speak towards its usefulness for forehand.
Just for the formwork, I do not think its a good tool for making quick musclefibers quicker anytime ever and thereby you are just building some strentght if you have ZERO of it, which is great, but else... nah. I would like a comment from KJusa whom have promoted it! :D
Those Idio shoes fell apart within 2 weeks of me wearing them. I bought shoe glue to keep them together for about 4 months before it completely fell apart beyond use
The disc box is the dumbest overall. That guy who legit is selling a Home Depot box but put disc over it. Also just use duct tape instead of a disc dot.
Infinite holster is great for certain situations... I've loved it for several things. A) Playing a putter only round B) Winter putting league C) On vacation and only taking a couple of discs D) Putter pouch on my DIY cart. Thanks so much for making fun of me for using it though... I guess I won't subscribe since I'm apparently such an idiot...
I do have a range finder, and it did come in handy a few times, I just found myself pulling it out less and less the longer I played and was able to eyeball distances 🤷🏻♂️
I literally just got a new one in the mail yesterday. It has a radar gun feature too that's why I bought it. I want to know how many MPH I'm throwing the disc. It's probably not that fast as I'm only throwing about 350'. But I'll let you know once I try it out.
@@PopsTWODG846 did you learn all your distances before hand? Example, i can use 3 different grips with my putter and my distances are 240, 272, and 298 so when im playing and the basket is 275, i know which grip and disc to use. If you only have a range finder and don't know you're own distances, they are useless
@@InbredJed82060 I’d say I did for the most part. I’d assume I’m in the majority and tend to play the same few courses close to where I live most of the time. That being the case, over time you know exactly how far you are away from a pin and what disc you need to use in a given situation. When I found the range finder to be most beneficial was when I visited new courses, but again, over time I just started to rely on my eyeballs over equipment. I do see the benefit to using them though. To each their own.
It would have been more interesting to see the products and hear some actual experiences. I get the feeling that you’re just picking products that SEEM dumb, but that you haven’t actually even tried or given an honest chance to. Just sayin’
Tried all but the Holster and strength band, and I’m not gonna waste my money on either to know what I can already see. However, I kinda see what ur saying. Don’t quite have the budget to buy anything we want for the channel yet, hopefully one day 👍🏻
That’s how I feel. I wanted to like them and support a small company, but the poor quality and price point make it easy for me to never purchase another pair. Hopefully one day they work out the kinks and drop the price.
@PopsTWODG846 if they actually made big changes and the quality was there, I would totally pay 120 or whatever it was I paid. But they gotta last at least a full calendar year. Idk maybe I just play way too much lol. I do play at least 2 to 7 times a week but I use boots in the winter here in Minnesota.

I know it wasn't invented as a result of the sport, but Insect Repellant deserves an honorable mention (along with chalk bags).
If we ever do another video similar to this in the future I'm making sure I mention bug spray and screenshotting your comment for that good shout!

My three things are a mini , a towel , and a water bottle that fits in my bag lol.
Honestly water bottle should’ve been on there. But like me, I always forget the water bottle.
@@ThrowinWithOwen its the curse lol

Let's Throooooooooooow!!!
Listen, you have a case for the holster with the mall thing I think. Good point. 😝
😂 I think that thing is awesome..
The ripshot one though the original
Yes I will definitely listen to you and your dad
Aye good to have you around! We thought it would be fun to mix it up a bit and goof off for some of these haha.
Love this format keep it coming dude
Aye! Thanks for commenting again man! Cool to see you around my videos!

I just looked up the disc box…. There is no way this is real 😂😂😂😂
@@ThrowinWithOwen he gets super super upset one reddit when people say its dumb lol
Please don’t gunk up chains with duct tape dude.
@@ztsb_koneko I have my own basket and can just wrap a tiny bit of duct tape on it. Did you think I meant I was bringing duct tape to a course ?
@@ThrowinWithOwen It is real; sadly. The Disc Golf Guy, Terry Miller, also sells them. I agree. It's a complete waste and ripoff.
flight towels?
Yeah, I mean any towel works. Flight towels are nice micro fiber ones for sure!
I can’t say at any point……. That I disagree with any item on this list haha
Nice 👍🏻
You don’t want a disc holster? 😂😂

Hey man, I purchased Idio shoes, stuff happens. Like we said in the video, to each his own. Appreciate the watch and comment!
What do yall think about range finders. My coach turned me onto them. I found it improved my scores after i tested my true range for all my discs
I do have a range finder, and it did come in handy a few times, I just found myself pulling it out less and less the longer I played and was able to eyeball distances 🤷🏻♂️

I love my infinite holster, I have it attached to the side of a cart
Yeah, I actually know a guy that puts it on the handle of his cart for extra putter slots!
There’s something for everyone! Glad you enjoy it! Who cares what we think 🤷🏻♂️😂

The Idio Syncracy shoes are an absolute waste of money. Extremely poor quality. Wouldn't even buy them again if they were $20.

Luckily, I have a Columbia outlet near me. I can get 3 pairs of comfy waterproof trail shoes for the cost of 1 pair of idiot shoes. Not a typo 😂
@vic8422 love it!
the disc golf shoe for $50 last a bit longer than Idios. Great Buy!
