Beginner Tip
Don't be too hard on yourself, everyone had to start somewhere. Just remember to keep everything controlled and smooth and with practice and determination, you will see your hard work pay off. Don't forget to have fun because if you are not doing that then you are not doing it right!
Most Memorable Moment
Even though I've been playing disc golf since 2005, my most memorable moment has to be winning the 2018 US Amateur Match Play Championships in Emporia. Not only did I put together some of the most solid rounds of golf in my career, I got to experience the whole thing with my little brother on the bag encouraging me and helping keep my mental game strong.

In The Bag
Drivers
Dynamic Discs Lucid Raider
Long drive shots that I can trust to fade back at the end. Also good for big stable forehand shots.
Dynamic Discs Fuzion Sergeant
Used as a longer Explorer when I need a straight distance shot with not a lot of movement in the flight path and reliable, slow fade at the end.
Dynamic Discs Lucid-X Trespass
More stable version of my Fuzion Trespass, used for a tighter s-flight and in windier conditions.
Dynamic Discs Fuzion Trespass
Used for open distance shots where I can take advantage of the full flex of the disc flight.
Dynamic Discs Lucid-X Felon
Used for more controlled drives, but I do get that reliable fade left at the end. Also used for shorter forehand shots.
Latitude 64 Opto-X Explorer
Used for straight, controlled fairway shots with slow fade at the end of the flight.
Midrange
Dynamic Discs Lucid Justice
Strong headwind and sidearm shots. Also used for technical shot shaping.
Dynamic Discs Lucid-X Verdict
Stable to overstable tee shots with reliable left finishes.
Dynamic Discs Lucid EMAC Truth
Shots that need to start flat and finish flat in the 300-350ft range.
Dynamic Discs Fuzion Burst Warrant
Mostly used for the woods game. Great shot shaping disc and shorter shots that need to go right and stay right.
Putters
Dynamic Discs Lucid Judge
Putter drives between 150-250 that can handle the torque to not flip over but doesn't dump hard at the end.
Dynamic Discs Fuzion Burst Deputy
Short hyzer flip or upshots that need to go right and stay right.
Latitude 64 Zero Medium Pure
My go-to putter for years. It is used anywhere inside Circle 1 & 2.
Westside Discs VIP Anvil
Headwind putter drives and short shots that need to go left fairly quickly.
Latitude 64 Moonshine Keystone
Great for half power upshots that need to stay straight and longer hyzer flip shots anywhere from 200-300 feet.
Latitude 64 Zero Medium Keystone
Strictly for C2 putts, great glide, and straight flight.
