Jonathan Baldwin - Innova Disc Golf

IN THE BAG

DISTANCE

Star Boss
headwind driver, the extra speed helps penetrate the wind.

Star Destroyer
headwind driver, carry 2 stabilities. The best distance driver ever! Can do just about anything with these.

Star Wraith
my go to distance drivers in most conditions. I carry 3 different stabilities. Next addition will be a halo version for more headwind shots.

Champion Tern
easy to throw with little energy, this disc goes the farthest with little effort. Great for long range turnovers.

Champion Sidewinder
my power roller disc also good for hyzer flip tunnels and long turnovers.

Gstar Thunderbird
new addition, not nearly as overstable as other Thunderbirds, I love this as a longer straighter firebird in the wind.

FAIRWAY

Star Leopard3
the straight to turn over fairway. Easy to make this glide down straight or left to right tunnel shots

Glow Champion TeeBird3
my go to fairway. Has amazing control and great aging and wind characteristics.

Star TL
best TBird for long distance rollers.

MID-RANGE

KC Pro Roc
the golf standard of mid ranges. Start out flying overstable and age into understable flights. I always have at least 3 and usually 4 stabilities. My least stable becomes my midrange roller.

Luster Roc3
my overstable mid. The 3’s are better into the wind.

Q&A

Memorable Win:

2011 Pro Worlds. In my hometown. I'll never forget the feeling when I heard people yelling "JB" in the finals at Pinto Lake. Exhilarating!

Advice:

Be patient and lose yourself in the process. Have realistic expectations, if you have them at all. Try to learn something new from everyone you play with.

Goals:

I'd love to get my rating back over 1000 in the short term. In the long term, keep my body healthy and injury free so I can continue to perform at a high level. Also, to give back to the community that has given me so much.

Additional Comments:

I hope to be able to contribute to the growth of the sport through some of my other talents; technique instruction, photography, videography come to mind.
