Great shooting today, Michael. Keep it rolling!

Hey Michael, great performance at Worlds. Were you wearing Salient's disc golf shoe? Noticed it on Marty's video. If so, how were they?

 

[HiFi]

Got my hands on some Storms and they kicked the Buzzz out for the time being. Really liking the easy d and controllable flight. Did you ever throw them? Likes/dislikes about them?

No I wasn't wearing them. Just a basic pair of new balance. Haven't seen the shoes yet. I just know they are trying to make some

I never threw them. They were already gone by the time I switched to discraft

Hope you enjoyed Portland, and were able to find some nice IPAs.

All around I feel good about the way I played. Those courses were nice, but not what I really like to play all the time. So I had to make adjustments galore. There were a few holes at blue lake that I would make some changes to how I played but otherwise I felt good

Nice World's MJ! What year did you switch to Discraft? Did it affect your rating?

I switched to discraft at the beginning of 2008. My rating dropped some as I was sorting out my bag and figuring out a putter I could use

Thanks that's what I thought looking at your rating dip circa 2008-9.

I posted this in the 2014 World's thread and people think I'm crazy for suggesting that these players ratings have suffered because of the sponsor change.

Chew on this: opcorn:

Players that recently switched brands and how their ratings have been affected:
Prev -> Current - Player
1031 -> 1012 - McCabe (2010 World Champ)
1020 -> 1007 - Arthur
1046 -> 1032 - Will S (2010, 2012 USDGC Champ)
1045 -> 1035 - Nikko (2011 USDGC Champ)
1035 -> 1023 - GG
1030 -> 1016 - Manabu
1046 -> 1036 - Feldy (2008 World Champ)
1030 -> 1021 - Owens
1035 -> 1022 - Ulibarri
1026 -> 1003 - Barsby
1040 -> 1029 - Leiviska
1030 -> 1026 - Koling
1048 -> 1044 - Wysocki
1031 -> 1029 - Colgazier

Players that didn't switch brands:
2012 -> Current - Player
1021 -> 1039 - Lizotte
1039 -> 1049 - McBeth (2012, 2013, 2014 World Champ)
1028 -> 1034 - Barry (2013 World Champ, plus 2 others and USDGC Champ)
1007 -> 1010 - Baldwin (2011 World Champ)
1006 -> 1007 - Yeti
1004 -> 1006 - McCoy
1029 -> 1031 - Rico
1034 -> 1035 - Brinster (2013 USDGC Champ)
1022 -> 1024 - Philo
1016 -> 1018 - Wiggins (World Record Distance)
1027 -> 1027 - MJ (don't know when he switched from Innova to Discraft maybe 2008 when his rating dropped?)
1024 -> 1024 - Avery (2009 World Champ)
1034 -> 1034 - Sexton
1040 -> 1036 - Doss (2011 World Champ, plus 2 others and USDGC Champ)
1032 -> 1030 - McCray
1033 -> 1030 - Crabtree
1038 -> 1024 - Climo(only 5 tourneys this year, but still won Worlds and has 14x and USDGC)

Congrats on a good showing at Worlds!

I'm curious how long your mids generally stay in your bag before getting replaced by fresh ones?

 

[Qstick333]

One more question for you...thanks for your time!!!

I noticed in one of the recent videos of you in a tourney you had switched to what appears to be a green Big Z Buzzz. I was curious if there was any change in flight from your regular Z? I throw a regular Z and it fits perfectly for me between a Wasp and a Comet. I love the Big Z stamp but don't want to change flight paths, etc...

Hey MJ, I was wondering if we could have an updated what is in your bag as of Worlds? What were the discs you were relying heavily on there? Great shooting btw! :clap:

If you can include colors or pics that would help a ton in adding your disc info for all the MJ Worlds vids we'll be putting out

have you thrown a buzzz os yet? thoughts on it?
