I think he means if he was up and coming right now, as opposed to already established, he doesn't have the skill set to keep up with the way the game is going in the future
I know McBeth had talked about doing some sort of higher end, small private tournament with some pros on some vlog with Brodie. It would seem a bit gaudy, but wouldn't it be sick to see a player host some private skins match or otherwise event that had a larger 1st prize than any pro tour event? Like a $100k charity skins or something? Live stream the event, take live donations for some good cause like St Jude's or whatever, and pay out some ridiculous mid 5 figure prize to the winner and raise an entire pro tour event purse just for charity.
These baskets are finicky. You better be center pole, and on the bottom half of the catch section. You could say they are bad or you could say you need to be soft and accurate.
@@poysunivey I'm all for smaller baskets but the problem is these have a major luck factor built in. Sometimes they stick, sometimes they cut right through. We need skill winning, not luck.
when you think about though, it really is dumb. you can just go to the disc shop and find a disc that does exactly what that disc does and it will only cost you 20 bucks. there are so many different discs out on the market right now that there is a few different molds that are identical to nates firebirds.
@@orion7741 People also pay millions of dollars for a silly piece of cardboard. i.e. a Baseball card. At least the disc has some use beyond looking at it. You can't do anything with a Baseball card.

I love it when he breaks character at 36:35 and starts whining about how Eagle is making so much money, then looks at the camera and apologizes. Never change, Simon!
Honestly, if Sexton were 26 in the game right now, he’d have the ability because of who he is to adapt to the way the courses are playing now. When he was 26, he adapted the way he needed to then to bring his star to its shine and continued success-because Nate Sexton is a great player but also a great person, regardless of the era. So I hope he’ll keep finding the vitality in himself and keep it flowing for years to come, so that he can surf these courses strong for as long as his heart pleases!
With some course layouts Nate will thrive, but for the courses that are laid out for the 600-700 bombers he will unfortunately lose some strokes to those guys.
Also more distance isnt always the answer. Look at Niklas Anttila. Hes the Finnish champion and he throws about a bit over 400ft. Hes just deadly consistent and accurate. And theres some long bombers that can throw 600-700ft here like Seppo Paju, Oskari Vikström, Kristian Kuoksa.
I want Simon back at 100% sooo bad. He doesn’t need a 350ft forehand but a routine 300ft forehand that he wouldn’t have to worry about along with full backhand power drive would be great
@@seanbinder8316 I would like at least one of calvin, nate, and conrad on every single skins. They are all different personalities but are all positive energy guys.
i dont see any problem with the baskets. spit outs and cut throughs happen on every single basket design. at least with these baskets you know that your putt just needs to be a better, more centered, all around putt. consequently, you have to focus more. Eagle's putt wasn't centered, it was left. Barsby's bounce out of those innova/discmania/whatevertheywere discgolfpark baskets in the euro open 2017 much worse, and much more consequential.
@@unwrinkledear agreed. These baskets are not “catch all speeds”. They require an accurate putt at speed. We have them on a local course here. Once you learn how to putt on them, they’re fine. Just like a Mach 3.
@@unwrinkledear Well Eagle and Simon had only one complaint about the course and it was the baskets, so just maybe there would be a better alternative? They do this for a living after all
1. You can see how much Simon wanted to beat Eagle throughout this. He was so competitive. 2. Nate was clearly the dad of the group. He honestly stood no chance against these young guns.
@@yrrahyrrah When this was filmed, Nate was 36, Simon was just about to turn 29, Eagle was 23 and James was 31. James and Nate share the same birthday (May 4) but are 5 years apart.
I know he's the world champ and his game works just fine but he really should modify his runup on stuff like that. most pros go to a two-step walk up or even a standstill on fairway shots like that so that their footwork is much less of a variable. the speed at which James' foot plants/his heel turns on an approach with ground that isn't as stable or grippy as a teepad is gonna cause slips like that to keep happening. you'll rarely see it with someone like Eagle, who has such a controlled approach walk-up and usually just goes to the two step.
@@MK212074 The extra speed you get from that pays. When you are like 5 seconds in the air with a 3 mile difference in running speed, your disc goes 22 feet further. Add that over 2 throws on a par 4 and you could be 44 feet further just because you give it more speed to begin with. And.. 5 seconds air time is really conservative over those long distances. Agreed that when you need accuracy, a slower speed would/could be better.
Yeah, and his attitude was kinda crappy. I love the guy, but you could tell he was pretty salty about all the $$$ Eagle was winning. I'm willing to chalk it up to the pain in his elbow.
I had the privilege of playing the course in late May . Having played every course in Missouri, it IS the #1 course in the state, and as Eagle said, maybe the World. Epic job, Phillip and Davey Mac! The other course that comes very close is Hillcrest on Prince Edward Island. Absolutely mind-bending to see so many birdies from the Blue. Like watching Eddie Hall deadlift 1,100 pounds; you realize you'll never do it. Terrific video production too, will watch again soon. It's the Pebble Beach for DG.
I met and first played with Nate in 2004-2005. Even back then his forehand was insane but indeed, it has made so much improvement along with disc golf technology since about 2014-2015.
I feel bad for Simon. It’s rough when your body starts inhibiting the ability you have come to know for years. don’t let your kids play football for 10 years
I think he was in pain more than anything actually. But yeah they are super competitive people, we've seen Eagle be the same way, smashing discs into the ground or slamming his fists together, it's just passion.
Come to St Louis. This course is only an hour and 10 minutes west of the airport. Had the pleasure of playing one of the inaugural rounds 2 months ago and it's truly something special.
This one was a great change of pace. There's nothing wrong with the traditional trash talk and antics - love it, but this one was such a supportive group. It felt like they were all just battling the course together instead of each other. Thanks everyone for putting this together.
What an amazing course. It was also awesome to hear everyone talk each other up the whole time. I feel that disc golf is pretty unique with the respect everyone shows each other despite being opponents.
Everybody was fine, Simon was just ribbing Eagle a bit and hamming for the camera, which is fine because Eagle is gonna be a superstar and will bank accordingly. Skins is where you can and should rib your opponents and honestly these guys were very subdued compared to a lot of other skins I've watched.
@@keithselden2096 I noticed that too. Simon seemed to be a little bit snide at times and not in the razzing way.. I think his elbow was starting to hurt from so many distance throws from this course.
This is the best piece of disc golf content I’ve ever consumed. The building tension with each push down the stretch. That putt by Simon on 16. James stepping up to 17 and nearly topping the holy shot. Everything riding on 18. Seriously captivating.

That was so fun, thank GKPRO, OTB and Luke for the great commentary, and to Nate, James, Simon, and Eagle for showing us the way on that amazing course:) you guys rocked it before heading to ledge Stone thank you….!
One of my favorite parts of this Skins match was when they guys on 14 stopped to look at a little skink. Shows these guys are just kids still playing in the woods! Love it
Such great disc golf. I love those par 5's, so beautiful. Tight woods but not so tight that you cant find lines to get through the trees, as long as you execute. Plus its all on grass
Wasn't he just on Jomez last month talking about his doctor telling him he can't compete every week? And here he is, same week as Ledgestone, trying to keep up with guys like Eagle and JC
Sick course. Sick skins match. The only thing that needs to change is the baskets. So many spitouts/spit throughs in just 18 holes. Get some Discatchers or Mach Xs out there asap.
Awesome video! One of the best skins yet! Having ever hole be for big money applied extra pressure and that was great to see. Wish we could have seen the push to the grow off from the Conrad spot tho!
This is so cool. One of the best things about disc golf is how everybody cheers for every one else's shots! Always! Love mic'd up rounds. Love the support from my bros! Love the big highs and sorry lows when we all RULE and suck! Because, let's face it, we all rule, and suck.
Ok, I saw a few people here commenting about the baskets, and I partially agree. They're not the most "catchy" baskets. .... The chains canopy is kind of narrow, and the chains are spaced a little farther apart than on some other baskets (allowing for occasional blow-throughs). I Play on this type of basket (Gateway Titan Pro 24) semi-frequently. They are not my favorite, but OK. ....not the best basket out there. But there's another way of looking at this… these "harder to stick" baskets could be considered as just another feature of this course; designed to add to the overall challenge of it. Just like the embankments, water, big terraced greens, and tight OB stakes in places.... all these are features of this particular course as well. And these baskets are just another feature that adds overall challenge to a great course. I can't wait to try it. :)
It's definitely a cool course, I personally would rather not have to watch so much OB everywhere. Plant some more trees and take out the OB where it's not really needed. I think courses should have as little fake OB as possible. Lakes and rivers, property lines, sure. I guess I like it natural.
I lost 5 discs just by watching this round. The course looks extremely difficult, but also very beautiful. They obviously put a lot of time and effort into building this course... and it shows.
I’m constantly wondering how Eagle can drive 620 feet like this and not have elbow problems like Simon. It’s also crazy watching him throw full power, how he has to use the most over stable disc known to man and then still rip it on straight hyper just to be able to get a full flight and not have it turn straight into a roller. Insane power.
Eagle said this course ranks in his top 3 favorites, Curious as to the other two courses. I might guess that Jarva DGC in Sweden may be one, but curious as to his faves.
I had to come back and rewatch this match just to see the course again. If Eagle Crossing and Diavalo in Cary, NC don't have top tier tournaments in the next few years it will be a shame.

The fact that they all did so good for never playing it, just shows you why they're the pros. I can't wait to see the future of this course.
And yet they all also went OB multiple times. I think a score of -6 at this place is about the best avg score. The OB here is brutal
Conrad and Sexton are just gems. Cheering on competition.
Maybe it is because I'm old, but Nate continually impresses me when he's talking. He's definitely one of the more thoughtful guys out there.

Don’t choke pan on 18 was EXCELLENT! Sexton skunked against eagle and Simon and the world champion? Weird?
Simon was so bothered by how well eagle played
More like bothered by how not so well he played himself. Also looks like he might have hurt his elbow a bit, probably not happy about that either
Simon went all out to beat Eagle. I do think he went too hard and hurt that elbow again. It’s a pity.
I want Simon back at 100% sooo bad. He doesn’t need a 350ft forehand but a routine 300ft forehand that he wouldn’t have to worry about along with full backhand power drive would be great

Simon bothered Eagles making way more than him, and cause of the elbow he doesn’t really have another shot.
I love how everyone talked about Nate ace running with a $4000 disc. Meanwhile, James throws the holy disc valued at easily $50K!

I love the veteran. Giving eagle the ear shot commentary. Lmao . classic.
I don't think people realize how insanely well Eagle played this day. When he gets consistent it's game over for everybody else.
GET THOSE GARBAGE BASKETS OFF OF THIS INCREDIBLE COURSE!!
I agree. They are very ugly
I think it makes it that much more challenging
@@johnmitchum724 it’s not a challenge, it is just random chance whether they catch the disc or not.
These baskets catch good putts.
@@Benja_Turtle eagles putt literally went through the chains… it was off centre by about 3 inches. Any other decent basket catches that
Great coverage, love it when they are all mic'd up and smack talking but also very encouraging of each other!! Keep em comping, loves the rounds
Wish I could give this more than one like. Thanks, guys. Great job!
That was so fun, thank GKPRO, OTB and Luke for the great commentary, and to Nate, James, Simon, and Eagle for showing us the way on that amazing course:) you guys rocked it before heading to ledge Stone thank you….!
Thanks for displaying this amazing property! Was so fun to watch and too many amazing shots to mention! Bucket list just got longer :)
One of my favorite parts of this Skins match was when they guys on 14 stopped to look at a little skink. Shows these guys are just kids still playing in the woods! Love it
Wow! Best skins match ever. Knew it was gonna be good but geez y’all. Serious bombs and serious cash. Good stuff OTB/GK! Keep em comin!
Good grief Nate! What a choke job on the last hole!!
"627 feet drive, holy!" Smashes it 10 feet to closest tree, sorry eagle, i love you but that was funny :D
I think the final result soothed some of his pain, haha.
Such great disc golf. I love those par 5's, so beautiful. Tight woods but not so tight that you cant find lines to get through the trees, as long as you execute. Plus its all on grass
Eagle's crossing looks amazing great job to everyone involved.
Having already played it, it is amazing
....and its not even finished
Added to my UDisc wishlist :D
I love how salty Simon is haha, great content!
Could you imagine what it would take to cut the grass on some of those fairways? I would get dizzy mowing around all of those trees!
Simon hurt his arm on 16s drive. Needs to calm down on that.
Wasn't he just on Jomez last month talking about his doctor telling him he can't compete every week? And here he is, same week as Ledgestone, trying to keep up with guys like Eagle and JC
100% satisfaction guarantee on those Titan Pro baskets from Gateway. Gateway has some explaining to do
Simon was so upset at the end that Eagle won more money and he already cashed $1600. Haha.
Love these skin matches. I look forward to them so much!
Salty Simon. dude was really upset, great job Eagle
Yah, I would also be upset if I had a chance to make like $3500 and shanked my drive 10 feet in front of me
Good thing they are all paid $3k just for showing up. Sure that will help smooth things over
I think he was upset about his elbow hurting and projected it onto Eagle. They are best buds
Sick course. Sick skins match. The only thing that needs to change is the baskets. So many spitouts/spit throughs in just 18 holes. Get some Discatchers or Mach Xs out there asap.
Awesome video! One of the best skins yet! Having ever hole be for big money applied extra pressure and that was great to see. Wish we could have seen the push to the grow off from the Conrad spot tho!
Eagle 😂😂“I have a heart attack every time I putt on these baskets”
Anyone catch that Eagle talked about throwing forehand roller in competition, and then he did it over the weekend?
Yeah, going forehand roller off the tee at Ledgestone is a baller move and he pulled it off!
Holy purse on this one, jeeez!!!! Well done, and fantastic OTB round, so fun.
Course looks amazing, baskets could definitely be better though!
This is so cool. One of the best things about disc golf is how everybody cheers for every one else's shots! Always! Love mic'd up rounds. Love the support from my bros! Love the big highs and sorry lows when we all RULE and suck! Because, let's face it, we all rule, and suck.
This is the future of disc golf. People putting in actual money to design and make a course like this. And its not even close to done!!! Wow….
Disagree. Nobody in their right mind puts this much money in disc golf with such little return on investment.
Ok, I saw a few people here commenting about the baskets, and I partially agree. They're not the most "catchy" baskets. .... The chains canopy is kind of narrow, and the chains are spaced a little farther apart than on some other baskets (allowing for occasional blow-throughs). I Play on this type of basket (Gateway Titan Pro 24) semi-frequently. They are not my favorite, but OK. ....not the best basket out there.
But there's another way of looking at this… these "harder to stick" baskets could be considered as just another feature of this course; designed to add to the overall challenge of it. Just like the embankments, water, big terraced greens, and tight OB stakes in places.... all these are features of this particular course as well. And these baskets are just another feature that adds overall challenge to a great course. I can't wait to try it. :)
Not liking to see Simon having possible elbow issues again, but other than that a great skins match from everybody. This was epic!
I also noticed that on the last hole. Bummed me out
Seriously....this course is gonna be epic! Best skins match so far. Damn shame sexton caught fire at end. His forehand was dialed in.....
This place is the future of disc golf and is just insane to see.. When I started playing in 2001 I never imagined seeing it get to this level.
It's definitely a cool course, I personally would rather not have to watch so much OB everywhere. Plant some more trees and take out the OB where it's not really needed. I think courses should have as little fake OB as possible. Lakes and rivers, property lines, sure. I guess I like it natural.
I lost 5 discs just by watching this round. The course looks extremely difficult, but also very beautiful. They obviously put a lot of time and effort into building this course... and it shows.
I love the 252ft playoff idea and feel it’s a great way to immortalize the shot within the sport. Everyone should start doing this.
Did Conrad have an outburst? At 30:15 he says " you can say ...."... hahaha 😂😜
I’m constantly wondering how Eagle can drive 620 feet like this and not have elbow problems like Simon.
It’s also crazy watching him throw full power, how he has to use the most over stable disc known to man and then still rip it on straight hyper just to be able to get a full flight and not have it turn straight into a roller. Insane power.
Eagle said this course ranks in his top 3 favorites, Curious as to the other two courses. I might guess that Jarva DGC in Sweden may be one, but curious as to his faves.
so cool to a skins with spectators and OB flaggers. The guy swimming for everyone's disc's is a plus!
I’m only an hour away from this place. what a small worlds. I’m def going to make time to come check this course out. Looks amazing!
I had to come back and rewatch this match just to see the course again. If Eagle Crossing and Diavalo in Cary, NC don't have top tier tournaments in the next few years it will be a shame.
Love how fired up Simon is!! He brought the business Lizotte today!
I just realized there was a red, white, and blue teepad for every hole. Nice.
I’m not sure but has Brodie been on a skins show yet?
