Paul McBeth recently tackled his 5th World Championship Title (congratulations!) while competing on two world-class disc golf courses in Illinois. Lake Eureka and Northwood Gold - one wooded and one more open and OB obstacle based. The differences in each course challenged a different set of skills in each player and in turn, required a different set of tools to succeed.
What Paul bagged at Lake Eureka:
3 - Stock Luna
1 - Big Z Luna
2 - Z Zones
1 - Jawbreaker Wasp
1 - Titanium Buzzz
1 - AM Nats Vulture
1 - ESP Prototype Anax
1 - Z Predator
3 - ESP Zeus
1 - Z Force
2 - Z Avenger SS
Paul's line-up for Northwood Gold:
3 - Stock Luna
1 - Big Z Luna
2 - Z Zones
1 - Jawbreaker Wasp
1 - Titanium Buzzz
2 - AM Nats Vulture
2 - ESP Prototype Anax
1 - Z Predator
1 - ESP Zeus
1 - Z Force
1 - Z Avenger SS
When boiled down, there were only a few changes between Eureka and Northwood but they were calculated. The reduction of two Zeus in favor of a more controlled Force and Anax was to be expected. A shift from overstable to control. One bag favoring power and the other focused on precision. Weather was a bit of an uncertainty on the Northwood days resulting in the only mold addition. "The Drone is a reliable, overstable disc. If the weather changed drastically, I knew I could count on it regardless."
Were these few bag tweaks the key to his 5th success?
