Kesler Martin is the highest rated disc golf player in the state of Utah and on staff at Infinite Discs. He is currently 158th ranked in the United Stated according to PDGA.com. Kesler is the go-to resource as host Steve Fredlund starts to build his bag, inviting all of our listeners to join the fun and share your thoughts as you build or revise your own bags. In part one of the “Building Our Bag” series, Kesler shares about the high level things we should be considering: how many discs should we have in our bag, what should we be thinking about as we pull disc from our collection for any specific round we will be playing, and if we should build the bag for our current skill level or where we are trying to be. It is within this context that future episodes will start digging into flight ratings (speed, glide, turn and fade), disc weights, types of plastics, differences between manufacturers, the role of grip/feel and adjusting for disc wear & tear.Each week includes a pro "Tip of the Week" from Team Infinite co-captain Alex Tews.Northern Chains is sponsored by Infinite Discs and is all about building community among those who are passionate about the great game of Disc Golf.
