Great work everyone! Jomez Pro captured it beautifully and rewarded tonight with a Sports Center Top 10. Awesome shot by Ricky and great work by all media involved. Congrats everyone!

Super happy for Ricky. He needed some vengeance for last year.

[trezaa]

I hope it makes it on SportsCenter Top 10

When the slow-mo hit i got the chills!

small nitpicking point regarding editing such footage: when you have two (or more) camera angles like this and you want to switch from one camera to the other it is much better for the viewer if you OVERLAP the action slightly. What does that mean? It means you do not show the disc leave the player's hand and fly 50 yards and then switch to your second shot at exactly 50 yards from the player to show the rest of the flight. Instead, you show the disc fly for 60 yards with camera one and then when you switch to camera two you start it at 40 yards from the player. That way, the viewers brain is able to catch up and seamlessly recreate the full flight of the shot. Otherwise, you get this feeling that you are missing something just at the point of the cut. Obviously this is impossible during a live edit, but it should be done routinely when editing pre-shot footage. Just looks and feels better.

This is why live coverage is so very necessary. Rather disappointed to know what happens before any coverage is released. Where are the story lines? Where is the anxiety? You've removed all the excitement. Of course we'll all watch this because it's disc golf, but it's a shame the viewing numbers won't reflect those that would have rather watched this live.

and again, Jeremy Koling is present for another Ace...

[BaysingersDiscGolfChannel]

Niiice! Great shot! I still can't understand how people flick a putter?! Any tips for me anyone?

[hidefman]

Wish they had the last round so Ricky could have come back and won, redeeming himself from last year's meltdown on 17. Great TOurnament though, happy for Big Jerm

[noahrobinson]

SPOILER! urg. I try to not know what happens so the round videos feel fresh.

Wish ya'll put out the round vids before the recap videos, but at least with those I can choose to wait and have suspense in the round. Then I watch the recap to see how everybody else did.

Like this video shows who is on the lead card with rick, which I don't want to know before I have watched round 2 back 9. (you released this before round 2 back 9.

[madmanotl]

Surprised and disappointed that in the video SpinTV calls it a hole-in-one instead of an ace.

[Chris.Davies]

It's a stupid hole. No wonder the PDGA won't allow ratings to count from this tournament. But - awesome shot from Ricky.
