Paul McBeth Athena | Behind The Disc

Paul McBeth Links:

this will fit that slot between a berg and a tilt.

Paul is a master at hitting lines and disc angles. When he throws flat, it's flat, slight hyzer is slight hyzer, slight anny is slight anny every time... Amazing!!!

[discgolf]

Haunting as he won his 6th… just amazing. Just had my Athena delivered and this vid has just hyped me up

“Massive black hole in discrafts fairway driver lineup” translated

“where is my Teebird 3, Discraft?”

[alexhoudashelt]

This aged well. I was worried he jinxed himself with those closing remarks. Ridiculous confidence from this guy.

How about Today!!! 6x world champion!!! Congratulations Paul!!!

GOAT! I'm not good at all but I love disc golf and have been playing since 1998. Discraft has always been my preference for discs. I used to throw a XL like a champ. I had a 1st run Buzzz that I used as my favorite go-to disc but recently lost it (I know it's a "collectors" type disc but I loved it and couldn't pull it out of my bag.)

[douglaswilliams]

Congratulations on the new disc my friend.

[discordye]

I got a proto and a first run...they fly very differently from each other. The proto is much more understable. Love them both.

Representing the SouthSide!! Let’s go even though they’re wasting this season away. Go Cease

[samrodgers]

Excited to get my hands on this! My guess is similar to a Teebird3 in flight. Or this could be a re-tooled or even re-branded Reaper. The reaper IMO already fills the hole Paul is describing, but it's out of production except special runs.

[stephenfrancais]

Can't wait to see ab get a hold of this

[iluvcmt]

They are missing this for sure. I threw a Teebird3 for awhile and now throw a Discmania magician

[TheJSIB]

real question is will we get it in the updated glow plastic....I need that

[gregrussell]

Fierce:Luna as Passion:Athena?

I already know that "straight" McBeth discs are my disc of choice in a headwind. ;)

[Prez]

My test flight feels like a 8-9 speed. Feels very similar to an anax in my opinion. I don't think it's a 7 5 0 2.

[ericjepson]

Like how Paul mentions the name of the disc. If I was a disc manufacturer, naming the discs might be my favorite part of the whole job. I can assure you I will never throw a disc called the "D2" or "M1". Comon guys...

[ATurtlePuncher]

I stopped throwing discraft for one BIG reason, they changed their ESP plastic. It's so...firm and slick that I really didn't like how it felt in my hand. I wish they would make some return runs of the like 20% gummier/grippier plastic so I can pick up some more buzzzes. Until then, I wont be throwing them anymore :/

[tristansmith]

Let’s go! @paulmcbeth & @discraftdiscgolf can’t wait for the first run!!!

[Tsxtasy]

I love this promo, but the audio of the room you recorded Paul’s commentary in is really showing it’s coloration in the recording
