I Cut my Previous Best Score in Half and had a Meltdown on 1 Hole
First time playing Jefferson Barracks on the channel. This is one of the tougher courses near me and really enjoy this course even though I've only played it a couple times before today.

Thanks to a lesson from OverThrow Disc Golf I was able to go from a fundamental misunderstanding on how to throw a forehand to a reliable technique for me to use in my game the next day. OverThrow Disc Golf: @OverthrowDiscGolf Tik Tok: @AmputeeDiscGolf@AmputeeDiscGolf IG: @AmputeeDiscGolf

I want to bring more sports and activities to amputees and lately disc golf is one I am learning and loving. I also cannot find other amputees playing so the goal of this channel will be to demonstrate and encourage others to go out and learn to play while providing any support and encouragement I can TIkTok: @AmputeeDiscGolf
Great vid. Excited to try that 'point at the forearm' tip. Subscribed!
my left ear is lonely
Found your channel via the Disc Golf Rabbit hole ... Love OT / Josh and his technical approach to breaking down movements. I think that increased Range of Motion in your wrist is for sure the engine of imparting spin / power to the disc. While what you are doing with your off arm, (coiling, when you load your disc to opening when you pull through and follow through... Add the footwork, hips, torso etc, etc... I'm sure being a throwing athlete helps with those lower body mechanics as they feel so natural. I'm committing to adding forehand throws to my bag of tricks this season and looking forward to how it can help my game.
Good tips, thx
i enjoy throwing more under stable discs sidearm now with hyzer release.. once i got good at that i was hitting near 400ft easily so i think anyone can.. more of a finger push out and arm push forward but on hyzer vs a choppin actoin
I'm not an amputee but have back issues that restrict my back- and forehand. The flick-approach looks good, I'll try it out. ❤ Also, very inspiring to see someone who has a real handicap but doesn't complain but actually does things - as opposed to so many in our society who have no real problems but complain all the time, if you know what I mean.
I can choose life or a slow death, I'm getting after it. Hope this helps and let me know if I can help with figuring out anything else in terms of playing with physical limitations.
best tip I've seen that actually made an instant improvement for me a 850 rated player. had to change my bag and add more stable discs after trying this. i get the need by peps to push content but just having a simple ez mental cue and learning the feel works best for me. trying to do all these precise form mechanics some instruct only messes my game up. I just thought of moving my wrist inward and bam instant improvement. another que that helped my backhand is look up to throw anny, look straight to throw straight, and look down to throw hyzer. everyone is different but this helped me.
I've been coaching for over a decade, and yeah, you can really only learn one thing at a time. Now if you work on the right things, it commonly will have a positive impact on the other things that need improvement. So stoked this worked so well for you. I'll be sure to keep sharing
Hey man, I really appreciate what you are doing on your channel. I found DG when Covid was taking a toll on me mentally and it became my therapy. Fast forward a couple years and I need to get left hip surgery. After almost a year of PT I am finally able to play casual rounds. I was bummed I couldn’t play but still stopped by local course from time to time to say hi to the folks. When they saw me they were stoked and started sharing stories about injuries, surgeries and their journeys of adapting and overcoming. The DG community is amazing and super supportive. I am now working on the things I can to improve my form and mechanics and with almost zero run up (basically slow walk up) Ican throw a consistent 300ft. Keep pushing man!
That's awesome to hear, from what I've learned, if you can control 300ft consistently you can play great golf. Thanks for supporting and watching. Happy to help any way I can with playing or training during recovery
Just went out in the field next to my house and this forehand tip is definitely going to improve my consistency thank you for the explanation 💯👍👏
That’s sick
Just throwing this out there I’m in the southwest Oklahoma area of your ever in my area would be down to get a round in with two left below knee amputees 🤷♂️💯
I’d love to play a single leg round 🤣. Same goes for St. Louis
As a left below knee amputee myself I want to say thank you for putting out the content I’m glad I found it I’m not a lot further along in my progression of the sport but I’m there with you 💯👍👏
That’s so cool, exactly what my goal for the channel is
Just found this channel randomly thanks for posting! Just wanted you to know your mic is only coming out of one channel (right ear but not left)
Appreciate the heads up on the mic. Thanks for watching
Hey brother. Thanks for posting this video. My forehand is junk. I learned to throw only BH on anhyzer when I needed that angle. Going to try your (& Josh's) tip of pre-loading before the throw. Also found your suggestion to focus early on just the abbreviated range of motion a light bulb moment for me. Be well and keep posting.
Thank you for sharing. I felt so disorganized and Josh cleaned me right up. I’ll keep sharing my lightbulbs. The small range of motion and having no emphasis on distance seems to be the way to get the best distance. Let me know how it goes
A big thing that helped with forehand for me, and my father who is learning from my mistakes, is focusing on the wrist not rolling over. You want that wrist to swing in along with your forearm, removing as much wobble as you can. I've spent time not even holding a disc or anything just moving my wrist back and forth like a pendulum to build that muscle memory. That and release timing. Forehands with understable discs are some of the coolest shots to watch and getting them to come out clean and stable every time is what makes them work so well. Take care! Glad to see you getting involved in such a fun and challenging sport.
That’s a similar frame of what I learned in the video, the big thing I was missing was loading it before and finishing the wrist motion all the way. Been a lot of fun learning for sure
What exactly do you mean by "roll over"?
@@simonrasmussen8166 What I mean is when throwing a forehand, if your wrist isn't swinging flat with your forearm, it will lead to inaccurate shots and also a good chance of hurting yourself. I've just heard this being described as rolling your wrist or rolling over for short.
I'm glad you picked up disc golf. It's amazing!
I’m having an absolute blast.
Great video. Thanks for posting.
Thank you. I was a little iffy about putting this video out being 6 months in to playing. Appreciate the support
First
