Hi, I'm Raven Newsome and I just got thrown into this. Easy peasy. Um, okay. So, we're going to look at what's in my bag. Um, I just went to the MVP warehouse and I got a new bag. Um, and I get to support my good friend James. So, this is his world champion edition bag. It's super pretty. Uh, I love this color way and it's got tons of space for all my discs. So, we'll get into like what I putt with. I putt with our Electron uh, Eclipse Proxies, which I love. Um, they are straighter than my my old anodess were. I found that the anodess something was kind of changing in my grip over the years and they were just a little bit too deep and every once in a while um, it it would hook on my hand and I was just breeding a little inconsistency. And I switched over to these during Gerro Palooa last year and found it to just be way more consistent and direct. Um I put them with a little bit of hiser and they get up to flat and they're they're really nice. So I've been using them at range and I've really been enjoying them. Um so that's what I putt with. Go get one. They're [music] awesome. [music] Getting into my throwing putters. I think maybe I bag the most unique discs of everyone, like the most amount of different molds. Um, so I have six throwing putters. I have a Neutron Stasis, which I think is amazing. It's like a a slower version of a Tempo, so it has some torque resistance. I can throw it backhand and forehand. Uh, I find that it is something that is incredibly consistent for me and I can't push it super far. So, it just is very very predictable and that's a useful thing on all of these tour courses. So, very neutral to overstable which is which is very good. And then I have the understable equivalent to that which is the uh Eclipse range. This is a disc that I have really found a lot of love for. This is my friend uh Maria Levmagi's stamp. She's got this cute little cat and she gave it to me this year. So, I've been using this a lot and it's really nice. That's for more of...
