I think you guys could maybe start moving to more intermediate content. I think a lot of your videos are geared for beginners. I don't know if that content does the best for you but I would encourage you to make videos that more target Am players. It might help target a newer audience imo. Either way I love your videos but I think beginner videos are a little overdone.
Idk, ive been playing for 7 years and play tournaments all the time. most people I come across, including myself, are still at the beginner skill level lol
Id like them to make a video with these same discs for intermediate players. I agree with you.
Don't agree at all. I don't feel that Swanky is geared towards beginners and if anything there should be more beginner content in general on TH-cam. If you are a intermediate or above player then you likely already know what works for you, beginners do not. I can't imagine an intermediate Am player needing someone to help them find the right discs.
@@user-bp9dw9ox5p From a content creators view, it would be in their best interest to make videos for the people who watch more of their content. Most of the people who watch their content are probably intermediate disc golfers. Sure, you might be a beginner but how many of their videos have you seen and how many will you see? And no, intermediate players do not need help picking their discs but we do like to watch in the bags and disc rankings and disc sales because it's fun.
Never got to the comment section this early. Just wanted to say love the channel & watch your vids all the time. Been disc golfing seriously for over a year now & my first disc was an Eagle my buddy gave me over a decade ago, lost it when I started again, found a Firebird instead and it’s been my favorite to this day. Stay Swanky
tier list idea: rank distance drivers into to tiers based on armspeed required. Like categories being anyone can throw, 300+,350+,400+, and pro level.
Nice to see some beginner content! But I think you’re missing the Mako3, the Proxy and the River.
Do my eyes deceive me or is this list missing the Mako3, River, and Mamba? Tsk tsk, young men. Tsk……tsk.
Edit: on another note, another great thing about the Glitch that I love, in addition to everything you said, is that it is REALLY good at revealing the flaws in your throw. I know from sad sad personal experience lol
Inner core is so good. My favorite throwing putter in my bag right now. Holds every angle I put it on, absolute laser beam.
I like the video (besides that the Berg should obviously be a top A-tier disc), but two excellent beginner discs you in my mind missed are the Mako3 and the River.
Both me and my wife are new to disc golf (a couple of months). We both like the river from latitude 64. Flies straight and far (for us as beginners) on a flat backhand release and hyzer forehand relase.
We found that there is quite a difference in stability in a 165 gold river vs a 176 opto river. Obviously the 176 opto river is heavier and stiffer, but you can also clearly see the difference in dome just holding the disks up next to each other. My wife very much prefers the 165 gold, i like both, depending on the weather.
Thank you for this!!!!!
Thanks for the info. A starter set ranking would be awesome.
You're missing the Westside Underworld which, speaking as a beginner, is absolutely S tier in my books. Also the Fuse is literally the only disc I can consistently throw straight, thus S tier too. Don't agree with Glitch as S tier. While fun to throw, it's got a totally unpredictable flight path with even the slightest wind....
uplink > paradox
The scorch is such an underrated disc. It has a similar hand feel to a heat with more speed. The first runs are very flippy. I have one in the bag and it makes an amazing roller.
Nice , i ´m a beginner and love the saint and river, and have a lot of difficulty throwing paradox and really love comet also
My list of beginner discs that weren’t on this list:
Prodigy: Pa-5, M4, F7, F9
Innova: Mako3, Archangel, mamba, tern
Latitude 64: claymore, ruby, sapphire
Westside: swan, underworld, hatchet
DGA: squall, vortex, tremor
Discmania: magician, astronaut
The Discraft Zone or some kind of overstable approach disc should be on this list. Works for all skill levels imo as it will teach you to learn unique shots as you develop arm strength
Beginners should look at the Innova Mirage, Prodigy PA-5, or MVP Spin.
Id also say you missed the MVP Uplink, Lone Star Bearkat, and Clash Peach.
I started with a Proxy and Hex combo and I think that's a fantastic beginner lineup. Now I think I'd go with the Watt maybe as a first putter (which feels like a usable Glitch to me), but I was sad to see no Proxy or Watt in your lineup. (Granted, the Watt is still barely in circulation...)
European here. Kastaplast is very affordable here. Infact it is some of the cheapest premium plastic out there. That being said, europe is generally pretty expensive, so it is not cheap per se.
I'd include the DD Deputy and Lat 64 Keystone
DD Deputy is an amazing disc, beginners included. It is basically a fierce but comes in $12 classic blend plastic and feels like a million bucks. It does make sense to since the Deputy was Paige Pierces putting putter when she was sponsored by trilogy before moving to Discraft and getting the fierce made for her.
You gotta try the Lonestar Lone Wolf. Even do a Paradox vs. Lone Wolf challenge. They're so similar. I'm not a huge fan of Lone Star discs, but I bag the Lone Wolf. It's like a smoother flying Paradox. Definitely beginner friendly
How much are kastaplast discs there? To me they are regular priced discs.
Just want to mention that you can get the Escape in a variety of plastics to cover a range of stability. Moonshine or Lucid Ice will be the most overstable.
My glitch warped immediately. Left it out on my porch under a massive box to flatten it out over the summer. Pulled it out in September and it was perfect, flat as a board and back to new. Played one round, and it being in my bag with other discs caused it to warp again. Legit my least favorite disc unless you just want to use it as a catch disc. its great for that.
I finally got a Diamond this summer, and while I have to be careful not to turn it over, I think the DIAMOND belongs on the Swanky level, it really is ‘easy distance.’ My friend and I both have Sails and we both love them. I can understand how you guys could be confused by it though. I am surprised you did not have the Innova ROC in there. It was suggested to me by a better experienced player and it was a great addition. I also think the BUZZ is a good beginner disc, as long as one knows it finishes with some useful fade. Somehow I thought the SS in buzz SS stood for Super Stable, not Super Straight, oops.
Buzzz not in S is crazy to me
That Paradox allowed me to learn backhand. Westside Warship is a great mid-range.
The River is a massive oversight. Great beginner disc, a multitude of plastics and low price.
Discmania magician
B- tier list. Keep up the content!
The best thing about the aviar for me is coming from ultimate frisbee it has the most similar feel and flight for me
i just got into disc golf a few months ago. One thing I will say is price and availability are not important to me as I order online and can find disc. So if you eliminate those 2 criteria.(I spent about $500 on all the discs i wanted to try). The best discs in my bag right now are as follows in their speed slots: Bolt -13, Hades and Destroyer - 12, Scorch and Star Wraith -11, Avenger SS -10, Thunderbird -9, Meta Essence-8, Underworld and Cicada -7, Crave -6.5, Origin, Mako3, Hex, Pathfinder all similar-5, Tactic and Zone and Toro -4, Pure and Logic -3, Judge and link and depth charge -2, Glitch -1.
I love the shark as my go to putter disc for some reason
Sapphire is cool. I have an opto155 one that's now understable, it flies like a hades but hesitates to comeback/fade. I have another Sapphire that's gold 163 and it has zero turn and nice fade. Sapphire is really good. So is the hades. Also the avenger SS, esp is almost dead straight for me
My only problem with the paradox is that once you start moving into the intermediate range it's a lot more of a utility disc. Why throw a super touchy hyzer flip which is likely to roll over on a narrow straightaway when you can just grab a straighter disc like the hex and throw it flat? Everyone loves hyzer flips but they are a finesse shot with more points of failure than a standard throw. Past a certain point the Paradox becomes useful for players who don't have a forehand and that's primarily it. A Hex or Buzzz SS could be your favorite and most used disc of all time. For that reason, I would swap those. The Paradox is a good disc and great teaching tool but it settles into more of a niche role quickly.
Kasta about the same price in Finland as most discs. Falk and ESP Heat are the same price.
Funny; my son and I went to an MVP space race a few weeks ago and everyone (beginner to advanced) hated the Paradox. My son did ace with his though....
Surprised the Buzzz wasn't S tier. Not sure if it still holds the claim of best selling mid, but I know Discraft has advertised that for awhile. Every pro for Discraft bags multiples, it makes it in the bags of open players, and it's just one of the most solid straighter mids for a reason. Fun llist tho
Nice list. Diamond is S btw.
No Prodigy discs ?
The M4, F7-9 and H7 are smazong discs - maybr even in the Air variants where available 😎 judt recently gave Prodigy a true chance and oh my god do i love them ! A total line up, amazing plastixs AND true to flight numbers wothout requiring a beating up for 3-4 months
The sapphire that I tried was beefy too
I think the armadillo I think you put should’ve put the armadillo in the ester I really like that disk. It is a great forehand approach, putter or a great forehand putter. Also, a phenomenal approach disc from short range because it doesn’t have a whole Lotta glide way better than the. Berg. I also might be a little biased being sponsored by Lonestar, but I would’ve said the same two months ago
“Sponsored”
@@CollinMcCartney what’s the problem?
You guys do a best fairway or best mid range kinda pointless cause no one but James Conrad only has 1 mid in his bag. Yous should do a what are the best combo mids in the bag like I carry 5 deflector, Pyro, hex, uplink and paradox. I know it will shrink when the get beat in and then only replace the over stable ones but best combos and do like a beginner, intermediate and pros version. Just a thought.
I like the list but I think the tl3 could be on this list
Instead of the Dillo, the Dome should have represented LSD.
Good job, it's nice to see that you're thinking about the beginners. For us beginners it is always very difficult to find and throw straight flying discs as well as long flying ones.
I just think that most players watching your videos are in the intermediate range. Like the guys who throw 300-375
Apparently I'm the only person to see this video and not know what that last disc reviewed, errrr instantly relegated to "dog toy" was. What was it? I'm guessing a Berg, simply because of the rim, but I've never thrown, or seen one in person for that matter.
Yep, was a berg
Yup, the Berg and that is for sure an A-tier disc. They just happen to hate the Berg. The Berg is also pretty cheap (at least here in Sweden) in the excellent base line K3 plastic, which also feels awesome, like all Kastaplast plastics. Try it, you might (and probably will) like it!
Why doesn't anyone ever give the maverick love?
I don't know who was beating on the microphone through the first few minutes of this video, but it made it really hard to watch.
What about the stego?
DISCRAFT HEAT IS S TIER!!!!!!!!
I stopped watching after Trasher and Hades. Why would anyone recommend those for beginners? Both Trasher and Hades are stable until 330 ft and how many beginner throws that?
Or distance should be mentioned in the same sentence to describe for what distances discs are good for. Starting distance so where disc is no longer very overstable.
Buzzz is better for beginners than Hades or Trasher? That is ridiculous. I wouldn't put even Astronaut before Buzzz and I don't recommend Buzzz for beginners.
I like the video and I really like the channel a lot but do have an observation, not just about this channel, but about many of the disc golf content creators. I understand content creators wanting to help out one another, and that is an obvious trend in disc golf. You guys have each other on your channels, give shout outs and links to other content creator's videos and that's great. But I do find it a bit shady that only content creators talk about Trash Panda. Like literally none of the many disc golfers I know even have Trash Panda on their radar, no one outside of TH-cam content creators could care less about Trash Panda. Nothing against Jesse, but there are companies making far better discs for far longer and have more than 3 discs in their arsenal. Helping out other channels is fine, but I feel when you start trying to sell viewers on products of other content creators, when there are far superior options out there, it is crossing a line. I mean it can't just be coincidence that only other content creators seem to give a crap about these discs. And I have noticed this on multiple TH-cam channels.
