  1. I liked Simon before this video, but after his open and honest commentary,
    I love him as a player. He has such a good attitude win or lose and is
    very encouraging to other players.

  2. anyone ever hear of an innova twisted flyer? some guy gave it to me like a
    year back and it’s my favorite disc, but i googled it and didn’t find
    anything except for a twisted flyer pro tournament video that was actually
    at a course right by my house.

  3. Great coverage and synergy overall. The introspective part from Paul and
    Simon, followed by powerful performances, was the cherry on the top. Very
    enjoyable content.

    My critique is overlappingly three-, or more fold:
    More coverage and more rounds from the top players would be great. A whole
    tournament following the lead card, or even more cards / more last rounds
    to add. I don’t know what is the stopping force from doing that? I can’t
    see a strategical advantage with the performances, because it is the same
    pro’s pushing their limits (maybe even more) and the runner-up card ought
    to be very near or even equal to that par, and volume in content is a major
    factor in social media efficiency. If it is the available resources (time &
    personnel), you seem to still be luckily quite far from reaching the
    tipping point towards diminishing returns when it comes to output.

    I mean, the quality in SpinTV content is top notch, continuously raising
    the bar (love it), but there are noticeable delays in content frequency,
    and I get the sense there is a lot of footage left out simply because it
    does not meet those high standards and hours of reviewing in post.
    Additionally that, or additional footage could be used to pace the coverage
    to reach even better content, as well as more of it. Disc Golf is such a
    young sport when it comes to making videos of it and the commentators often
    seem to be left with their mind full of sentences and the time running out
    before and after…

    The standards actually haven’t yet been set on stone, on how to exhibit and
    pace everything in the superb sport of disc golf, so there is a lot of room
    to push the envelope on many many aspects. Especially with the pacing. No
    one is saying it should be just the same as with ball golf, with the
    walk-ups and soft voices, but I don’t think it should only be a rawly
    efficient documentation of performances (á la McFly), where the viewer has
    barely any subjective ties to the player, context, situation, or the
    quintessential story that bring the bulk of the value.

    Messi’s free kick goal at the 89’th minute to take his team into the lead
    is not at all as valuable viewing content without the pressure building
    through images. Tiger’s long putt wouldn’t be the same without inspecting
    the green. Nadal’s tie-breaking serve is just one like the many before, if
    no one goes silent. Durant’s decisive 3 point throw against the buzzer or
    Datsuyk’s mezmerizing shorthanded goal aren’t all they actually are without
    the pretext and build-up… It’s all about the pacing and the available
    investment conveyed for the viewers, and you have the creative control of
    both, especially when not showing live footage.

    Pacing, especially. It has not yet been set on stone for disc golf. Enough
    time for the commentators to share their thoughts. Enough time for viewing
    discgolfers to immerse themselves into the situations these pro’s are in,
    as well as chances to live through those moments and even learn from them.
