The Official 'Ask Paul McBeth' Thread

[Van1]

Thanks for posting here on this forum!

When you play Cliff, what scores do you "normally" post between 16 and 21? I would guess birdie on 17 (bonus hole A), but the the other five holes are you happy with par? Hw many times have you birdied 18 (bonus hole B)? And 21 (originally 18)? TIA

Hey Paul, have you thrown the Atlas yet? If so, what are your thoughts on the disc?


(Sorry to anyone who is immediately irritated by my posting of this question )

Great...Paul is back. I personally prefer you answering questions on this site because of the way this is set up versus the spin site and I have kept up since the beginning of this thread. I really appreciate the time you put into your responses and the overall time you took to keep us abreast of some of your practices and things going on in your dg life = )

Ever thought of doing an Iama Reddit? http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/ - 2 million plus subscribers and always at least 5-10 thousand people on at all times!

Did this ever happen with McBeth or any other of the pros? Seems like it would be HUGE for discgolf given how huge that site is. Still wish they'd upgrade their software tho... just hideous.

Did they change it recently? Everytime I go there its just not like any other forum and I want to kill the software with a harpoon gun.

 

[demon102]

Seeing as they have a discgolf specific section I just Favorited it. Hopefully it will grow on me lol.

its definitely not like any other forum... because it is really not a 'forum.'

reddit is setup like an old usnet/newsgroup. threadded comments. its much better for sorting through the valid comments and discarding the cruft.

I don't step up to a putt expecting to miss but if i was to guess what the numbers are in event with a wide open putt?

98%
90%
70%
80%
60%
60%
50%

up to about 80ft i would say

what is your advice for putting uphill outside of 20 feet. I have noticed that my percentage drops from about 90% to maybe 30-40

Looks like SpinTV just put up a putting tutorial with Paul:

Really think they could have gone a bit more in-depth with this one.

2 just snack I can't say I normally do get tired in a round more laziness
3 try to keep it light 6 inch sub or something like that
4 Gatorade and more snacking till another big dinner.

You would think subway would have caught on to the DG thing by now, really ever seen the closest subway to the course during a tourney lunch? DGERS out the door.

I saw in another thread you're throwing the MD3. What is your experience with it and what are you using it for?
