I got to watch Ezra Robinson and Silas Shultz at DGLO last year. The amount of snap and power they both have is insane. Became my new favorite players to watch that day.
I gotta be honest, this list _(and part 1)_ seem like they were just the top 25 in MPO plus Kristin thrown in a hat and chosen randomly. Well, almost. The Seppo pick is great; the more recent fans might not have seen him, but in addition to very nice form and shaping ability he had huge power. Some glaring omissions: Eagle McMahon Anthony Barela Albert Tamm David Wiggins Jr.
Cole Redalan. He took everything from Drew Gibson's form and made it better. Niklas Antila seems like a weird pick for the top spot. He's said he throws max 450ft and his distance holds him back.
@@EricLeeStepp distance isnt everything his accuracy and angle control is so good that he doesnt need to throw more than 450ft but he can definitely push drives over 500ft if he wants
How is Drew Gibson an honorable mention? Every pro I've seen talk about it says he has the best backhand form in disc golf; I find it a little hard to see because he snaps it so fast, but in slow motion it looks perfect. When he wasn't on the list through #2 I assumed he was either #1 or in the first video. If you're going to include women on this list then you missed a bunch. Kristin, as incredible as she is, doesn't have the best backhand in FPO; like you said, she's so good because she's so well-rounded _(and she might have the best mental game of any pro disc golfer ever, male or female; I'd put her right up there with Paul and Ricky)._ Henna and Eveliina probably both have better backhands; Missy's might be better as well, though I'm not a fan of her form and she doesn't have as much power, but she wins big tournaments with just backhands and aggressive putting. And for accuracy and smooth form Valerie Mandujano's backhand is at least on par with Kristin's. I don't know if Paige Pierce still goes on this list as she's fallen off quite a bit after her injury, but prime Paige had one of the all-time great FPO backhands; massive power, excellent accuracy, and good form. For beautiful form and great power Hailey King should be a consideration, though her consistency isn't the best.
My boy is sleeping on Conrad over here. Two-time elite series champ and two-time major champ with only backhands. His career highest rating is better than Ezra, Cale, Drew, EK, Bradley, or Sepo, and he has an absolute zero sidearm. Also, Garrett has the best in the game. Ask any touring pro 😂.
Seppoooo king of forest!!🎉🎉

Uhhhh... no shout out to me? Been pushing it over 300 ft on the reg these days... smh
Shout out to you bro, 300 any time I want it still eludes me :-)
@@jgray2718I mean, it’s still pretty good to get it some of the time on those good days like me. I’m with ya

No eagle on either video? He literally won a major with only backhands...
Kristin is definitely well rounded…

Lol. He throws closer to 550 max. You're mixing him with someone else
@@wanukasfobia6007 The 450ft thing was said on tournament central

Anthony Barela unmentioned part 1 and 2 crazy
He is a sprikle
By the end of the season Calvin Lonnquist is gonna be on Part 3
Calvin?~? best straight/low line player today, and is very backhand dominate. And conrad should be HM. He never forehands.
As far as form that looks silky smooth, Paul Oman has got to be number 1! When it comes to putting, Hailey King by far smoothest form.
Mattyooooo
In what universe does Cale have a better backhand then Drew Gibson and Garrett Gurthie?
