Amazing Mini Disc Golf Shots
Although this blog is old and out of date, I'm hoping this post will refresh its greatness and give it new hope. Today I began to work on an upcoming video by making a mini disc golf shot. The shot I would be attempting was fairly simple, just a 40ish foot shot in front of my house. I was particularly excited to try this shot because I had recently purchased a new mini disc cage from a company called Whamo-o. At first glance you would think this cage was great. It's light, colorful and comes with six discs. Only after use would you discover its true evilness. One hour in to attempting this shot I realized I had only hit the basket once. That would be impressive if the shot was harder, but this was pretty easy. While blindly throwing discs I began to think of the structure of this cage. First of all, it's small, only measuring up to 3 and 1/2 feet. Second of all, it's plastic structure makes the cage very flimsy. When I did hit the cage, it nearly fell over upon impact. Lastly the chain structure of the cage is tiny and cannot brace the impact of a 25 gram disc hitting it. (Neither could a 25 gram disc accurately travel those distances, while a lighter 15 gram disc couldn't be thrown farther than 30 feet at all.) I am I little infuriated with the outcome of this situation, so I am going to cut the story short with some feedback. I am very disappointing with this cage and I feel that little to no mini disc shots will ever be made in the future. My final thoughts on this cage would be that its a toy, merely used for fun and brings shame as an item of productiveness.

I will leave you with a super exciting clip of wheezy waiter waving at me.
