Paul McBeth and Upshots PLUS Info on The Rumble

Paul McBeth is one of the top rated pros at present and in the video below he presents a practice technique he uses to get to know the discs in his bag with fieldwork throwing Upshots. An upshot to me means any shot taken with a mid-range disc (such as an Innova Roc, Discraft Buzz, or Dynamic Discs Suspect to name a few) from the fairway that gets me into a comfortable putting position around the basket. For me a mid-range shot is about 100 to 200 feet out from the basket. I know many players throw a mid-range and putters 300 feet. That's not me. Yet. Hopefully, some day. Bottom line is everyone's different and to know what you're capable of is important to playing your best.

Before we get to Paul's video you should know Paul will be in town playing The Rumble put on by Iron Lion Disc Golf Supply and presented by Matt Schlabach (a Federal employee and fine disc golfer). The Rumble is an A-Tier PDGA (Professional Disc Golf Association) tournament occurring on April 26 and 27, 2014. It is possible and free to go out and watch Paul and other top rated pros play this tournament at Camden 2 in Milan, IL, and Middle Park in Bettendorf, IA on Saturday, and West Lake at West Lake Park near Davenport, IA on Sunday. (Exact tee off times are not posted as of this writing but will be soon.) There are other pros signed up to play this year's Rumble and they include; Will Shusterick, Paul Ulibarri, David Wiggins, Jr., Catrina Allen, and Holly Finley.
