Nate The Great? [Sexton]

[BrotherDave]

We all know its not about sheer distance on the forehand, but if it were, Eagle would blow them all out of the water.

I think Jerm would probably be my #1 pick for control flicks with mids & other non-overstable discs, although Barsby with that DX Rhyno is a thing of beauty.

Yeah Eagle leaped into the convo. I'm amazed at how quickly he got a booming FH.

Joel Freeman is pretty badass with those Whale flicks too.

I touched one, last year. It was the blue/orange stamp.

Did you go six to midnight? Because damn those are nice looking discs.

Players who learn the game at higher elevation find out throwing opposite spin can be more effective than trying to turn over discs.

i love Pete Sampras, Tim Duncan, and most of all Nate Sexton.

I'd love to see those 2 throw some plastic. I bet Duncan could crush the dreams of all distance throwers.

its probably the other guy (sampras). tennis players are most likely the best professional sport players who could easily go into disc golf. sampras had one of the biggest serves and best one handed backhands in the game.

schweby was a collegiate tennis player before turning to disc golf, so yeah it translates well.

Mark Ellis was a pretty good racquetball player and described his forehand as similar to a corner kill shot.

Yeah I dunno about that either. Crazy length obviously but not necessarily obvious fast arm speed. Timmy D wasn't really renown for "fast-twitch" athleticism. He'd definitely lead the touring pros in hole outs by bank shots off trees though.

If there was a movie about Nate, he would surely have to be played by Tom Hanks, right?

 

[DiscFifty]

I still think he pulls out a top 5 finish @ Worlds. Round 3 will be the one to watch...

John krasinski.

B.j. Novak could play Paul.

 

[CreemCheese]

Imagine what would happen if the wrong person skimmed the movie script. Some kind of weird sci-fi trip about a well dressed guy who controls firebirds and throws orcs hundreds of feet with a mild flick.

Michael Cera.
