Sometimes I find it hard to overcome my built up expectations of a new disc... I can't help but throw it how I think it should fly vs. how it really flies. Especially a disc that is so intrinsic to your game, I think it would be hard to accept the overstability of it early on since you have so much muscle memory of all of your other Pigs. The gummy/grip would definitely be an additional obstacle that makes me want to wait for a stiffer version. Thanks Robbie!
Absolutely! THese premium ones have TONS of expectations around them. I hope it comes across in the video, but I actually loved how overstable it was! I think it would hold that flight for a longggg time which is one of my biggest complaints with pigs is how fast they lose their stability in the RPro! Just need it to not be soooo flimsy!
Yep, I totally agree which is why I turned from my Birdie love to the dark side of the Berg... that DX plastic is great but beats up so fast. Great stuff buddy!@@RobbieCDiscgolf
I feel like a forgotten child up here in Canada. Stuff like this will come in stock in a SINGLE store in the entire country, and then sell out before I even knew it was available. I want some different plastic pigs too but they are like unicorns up here.
Few things! 1. Wish you would’ve tested how it flew on anny since as you’ve stated before maintaining stability on anny is a weakness of the pig vs other OS approach discs, so would’ve been interesting seeing how the gummy champ held up. 2. Does flattening a disc affect its flight? Thinking of glide in particular as I’ve heard many people say that domey discs glide more due to more of an air pocket underneath the disc. And 3… thanks for the awesome video Robbie! As soon as I saw these drop I was looking forward to seeing your thoughts on em. Sad I couldn’t pick one up myself. Do ya think it’s making the bag or are you gonna hang it up like some of your other rare premium pigs?
Didn't think about the Anny test, will have to try that one out! I did try the second one I had without the dome removed, and similar flights. Sounds like from what I'm reading the color definitely showing some different flights. I've got a blue one hanging behind me, so I'll have to throw it to compare as well. I am not sure this one is making the bag, it feeling this gummy pre-Alabama heat is going to lower my confidence in it too fast!
halo star is going to be more overstable than anyone wants or expects from a pig. halo star makes every mold significantly more overstable. it's not gonna be the flight you're looking for.
Hey Robbie, I got a Gummy Space Pig too and I was waiting to see if you made the "Fascinating" call on the smooth and easy straight flight vs. the more power = more fade. I said the same thing the first day I threw it. Very much reacted like a Zone OS. First throw on backhand it went flat to hyzer very quick. I may have to do the flatten method...that was sick! Another great video...bud!
So i have a question could the domeyness of the champ one be a way to make it fly more overstable because i saw an ama with korbin dunnipace where someone asked why they only make archangels in dx and he said that in any other plastic it does not fly like an archangel could that possibly be why they only make pigs in r-pro and the reason why the champ on has the dome to it
There's something about you that makes me feel home. If I could meet or play with any one person in disc golf, it would most definitely be you! Who knows, maybe it will happen someday. Much love and happy holidays to you and the family.
wanna talk about cold hands it was 24 degrees fahrenheit when i played this morning but since i live in northern ontario just glad not to have 4 feet of snow at this point and am getting to play at all ... to all the warmer disc golfers enjoy have fun out there😀
Didn’t check the pigs out until I started watching your videos and being that Pig is love, I had to get a couple to check em out. Loved em from first feel. I got one of these gummy champs and am glad I did. I didn’t realize how hard they are to get ahold of. Saw an email about it and got it first thing in the morning when it went on sale not knowing I was buying disc gold. Love the vlogmas, happy holidays!
I do the same technique for fixing warped discs, but I put a towel on the pot so it’s a barrier between the disc and the actual pot. Just a tip for y’all to save your discs and cooking ware!
My Gummy Champ Pig (blue with dome) flies similar to a new R-Pro one so far, but I've only played a couple of rounds with it. I was surprised to actually like the dome feel, but the how-to for flattening one was cool to see! I'm bagging it alongside a beat-in Ti FLX Zone, with the Pig being less stable and having considerably less glide. The Pig's 1 glide is what I love the most. It gives much tighter flex lines and less fade than approach discs like the Zone. It's chilly here... gonna be interesting to see what these feel like on a hot summer day!
Could be because of the type of plastic but i heated it up and tried to take the dome out, but after a day the dome came back. Anyone succesfully take the dome out? Robbie did your dome come back?
Do you know what the circles around the base of the baskets and tee signs are? Arenthey just circles of carpet or something, or is it some official product? I would love to get some for my local course to manage mud around the baskets.
Good thing I didn't fall victim to the scalpers that were charging $40 for this disc days after they were sold out. I don't think this is a pig I need or want. Especially with Halo potentially on the horizon.
Interesting results my gummy pig flies a lot less stable than yours. It is consistently landing 5 to 10 ft shorter than my 21 Ricky pig, but has a very similar amount of fade.
I do find it easier to put only one disc UPSIDE DOWN as well on top and then add a centered weight on that disc. I have not flattened that much though, rather added dome on a disc to test the difference, doing that I set it on a deeper discs rim (a Pig is nice for example) to have room for the new little dome, and add weight centered within the rims the disc that is to be domed, sadly this can often reform to a flatter disc again after a while, like the rim just want it to be flat, different polymers act different I guess. Also melted a disc once... oopsie. :P

Somebody give this man a halo star Pig!! I'd also grab one if they were available. INNOVA... yes you.
I'm there for it if/when they do!
halo star pig!! 🤯
Yup! Sign me up! Gstar too please!
halo star is going to be more overstable than anyone wants or expects from a pig. halo star makes every mold significantly more overstable. it's not gonna be the flight you're looking for.
Love you Robbie- you were the origins of my disc golf journey
I wonder if you made it more stable with your flattening technique?
so before i go boil one of my pigs, did you throw one with dome? did flattening make it more stable for you?
Hey Robbie, I got a Gummy Space Pig too and I was waiting to see if you made the "Fascinating" call on the smooth and easy straight flight vs. the more power = more fade.

Your “I should’ve wore pants. I should’ve wore pants…” was hilarious to me lol
Idk man, I think you cooking that pig 1st made it fly different
Same. Changing flight characteristics through heat makes it illegal right?

Alaska here. There's 3 feet of snow on the ground and 27 degrees (F) is our high today.
8 degrees here. we don't even get over 20 anymore. still playing comfortably.
Hey Robbie, how does the gummy Space Pig compare to the factory store Blizzard Pig run?
I thought I'd never see the day... He said my name! And thanks, it's going well, and better now that I'm watching your video!

Dude the intro imidiatly sets the tone. Loving it.
I do the same technique for fixing warped discs, but I put a towel on the pot so it’s a barrier between the disc and the actual pot. Just a tip for y’all to save your discs and cooking ware!
I use the water method, however water only hot enough so you can see the steam. Setting 2 for electric stoves.
Question. I have never tried xt plastic. I picked up an xt pig out of a used rack the other day. What is your opinion on it?

Maybe it needs the lil Dome you removed Robbie, try it in original shape too
Could be because of the type of plastic but i heated it up and tried to take the dome out, but after a day the dome came back. Anyone succesfully take the dome out? Robbie did your dome come back?
We all know what Robbie’s been asking Santa for every year. Turns out this year he was a good boy
i just leave mine face down on table in sun.
WHERE WERE THE TEST CLICKS?? We all know tongs only work right if you do test clicks!
Do you know what the circles around the base of the baskets and tee signs are? Arenthey just circles of carpet or something, or is it some official product? I would love to get some for my local course to manage mud around the baskets.
Iirc they were just that shredded tire ring you can put around trees/shrubs.
have you tried the hawg? its been in champion for a while, and I think its a better pig
Where do we find these pigs??? I got a glow nexus pig that I’m enjoying
every 4/x/0/3 disc is just trying to be a Zone and those already come in a variety of incredible gummy plastics
If a pig is stable, is it Porky?
Great video as usual. Good to see the premium pork products in action.
It dosent look coold to me, where is the snow ? Thanks for the video, I love the Pig!
Glory we need some of these gummy pigs!!!!
How do you enter the give away
Love the Braves shirt.
Where are these available?
Maube the gummy champ as a good overstable forehand roller! Looked like it didnt want to stop rolling in the parking lot. :-)
hahaha still hurts my soul watching it back!
20:56 Scripted straight off the cutting room floor from the film Deliverance...
q8D
Ummm Has no one in the world thrown a Birdie since Ben Swam?
I wonder what would the flight be if you didn't gummify and flatten it lol
I didn’t see that champ pig fly one time! Hahaha
Good thing I didn't fall victim to the scalpers that were charging $40 for this disc days after they were sold out. I don't think this is a pig I need or want. Especially with Halo potentially on the horizon.
AHHHHH YOU DID GET ONE!? I was wondering. I scooped up four...
I'd even take an I-blend pig. Of course that can't happen because they only do that plastic for Infinite.
Robbie, I thought I liked you, but then I see a big Viking logo on your fridge! Now I'm not sure what to think! 🤣🤣
When 3 pts is enough to win an NFL game 😖
SKOL!!@@rreed7537 but yea that was a TOUGH watch hahaha
😂😂 @@RobbieCDiscgolf
I heard a rumor that Innova was considering making these stock. Any truth to that? Also... don't you dare tease me about Halo Star...
Gotta give that piggie a little credit!
Love the hat!
Are you a Minnesota man??
How are you doing today robbie c
Robbie are u a Vikings fan?
SKOL!!
Good luck finding the perfect pig
Interesting results my gummy pig flies a lot less stable than yours. It is consistently landing 5 to 10 ft shorter than my 21 Ricky pig, but has a very similar amount of fade.
Got a pink one so maybe there is some variability based on color?
Pigture perfect OS flight for the premium pig
Robbie c dnd channel with the pros?
I WOULD LOVE to run like a Critical Role style show with pros!
I saw the books couldn't help but comment, but Big jerm, Uli, Simon, and the foundation guys would be a sick
Skol Vikings?
YES BEEN WAITING ON THIS!
Dang I used to really love Robbie but after seeing that Vikings logo.... ouch... Bear Down!!!
All I want for Christmas is for Robbie ask me how I am doing today 😅
Mmm cooking pigs
LET HIM COOK HIS PIG BB
I'm glad you got your premium pig but I'm still team Toro
Pig soup muahhahaa
Never been a fan of boiled pork.
Gummy Champion Cow looks super beefy.
I do find it easier to put only one disc UPSIDE DOWN as well on top and then add a centered weight on that disc.

Also melted a disc once... oopsie. :P
Also 1 glide is only with no wind, when the wind push a Pig I have seen it lift really far unexpected :P
Yay!!!!!,!!!!!,,,
Took them long enough
Is it even a real pig?
🥹pig
foot fault
Vikings Fan?
1:15 Go Pack Go!
Can you do a an only doomsday round
Been waiting for how ya doing Silas for a few months now, I didn’t think it would happen 🥲😁
I love that Si Guy also threw in an answer here too!
