Keith toured for a little while with Chris Heeren (about 10 years ago). Both were with Innova at the time. Chris is now with Discraft. At that time, Keith was about 19 and probably the second best lefty in the world behind Discraft's Scott Martin.
I don't know ... never heard of it before ... do they pay tourney entry fees and provide plastic and/or apparel?
I was watching this in person that day and can honestly say it was some of the best disc golf I've ever seen. PERIOD. The round he shot to catch Cale was almost perfect, and then the playoff itself was just incredible! The ratings and footage don't do it justice.
Keith's shots are so fun to watch because not only is he a lefty (always interesting) but his flight patterns seem to be different than most players. I don't know how to describe it, but for those who have seen him hyzer flip a MAX you know what I'm talking about.

haha he has a beat to crap Max i think...
He would go on tour in a heart beat if he got a decent sponsorship that gave him the ability to do it, would be fun to watch too.
I hope your right about that, it'd help me sleep better at night.

Thanks for the video, that was pretty sweet. The part you said to watch that is, I didn't watch all 5hrs. haha
Why do you think he isn't sponsored if he's that good?

I don't know the details, but those are common things involved in sponsorship.

That's a good question. I think he just needs to get noticed on the big stage, maybe win an NT or at least place in the top 4 and then win some more highly publicized A-Tier events similar to the Mad City against some top pros.
Playing 2-3 local A tiers a year doesn't get you noticed, but its hard when you work a lot and not everyone is able to travel to bigger events when you can't get time off work.

He won that Mad City with his Destroyer though. ANd a final 1057 rated round.........

1057? McBeth got 1050 McPro Aviars. Warren should get 1057 Destroyers.
You know that McBeth got the 1050 discs for having a 1050 average, not for a single 1050 round. Or maybe you're confusing it with the 1132 record round he shot?

To answer your question, at the end of last year I became such a mental case. I wasn't coping well with the extra pressure that going pro and being sponsored consisted of. I decided in October to temporarily leave disc golf and with that I decided not to re-up with Team D for the following year. I think in the end, it was best for me. During my break, I was able to relax from the constant tournament play and read some pretty good books about mental games that not only helped out my golf game, but overall mentality. When I returned to playing in March (ish), I was able to keep my composure on the course and I started to enjoy the game again. As for sponsorships, I'm currently sponsored by Hyzerflip Disc Golf Apparel and Fly Line Disc Store.

Thank you for the insight, Austin. I'm happy to hear that you managed to find the fun in the game again.

Glad to hear the changes helped. Did your bag change any when you were able to throw non-Discraft discs?
