FAIRWAY

Champion Firebird
175g Thumbers, sidearm, hyzer, spike hyzer, and even straight shots in 20-40 mph headwinds.

Champion Thunderbird
165-175g Very similar in flight to a pd. Maybe a touch more glide.

Star TeeBird

MID-RANGE

Glow Roc
175g I have a couple that have been in my bag for 5 years and they still fly straight even in a headwind.

175g All midrange shots, all beat to different stabilities.

Glow Champion Gator
(2) 175g Extremely overstable, sidearm approaches, windy approaches. Beat in and flies great in the wind.

Q&A

Memorable Win:

Advice:

You do you. So many people claim there are correct ways of doing things, and I disagree. Just like I teach to my robotics kids, figure out what works for you and do it your way. Be innovative and open minded. Prepare. Be grateful on the first tee of every event. I always close my eyes and thank the course designers, thank myself for the effort I've given to prepare, thank the universe for this opportunity, and my grandma for teaching me resiliency.

Goals:

Short term - win another world title. Long term - give back to the disc golf community to allow others the opportunity I have to do something healthy and something I am passionate about.

Additional Comments:

I am forever grateful for all the tournaments I've had the chance to play in!
