Do you tilt your wrist down for a nose down (neutral) angle or do you not think about that at all?

More on the brace and hip plz!!

Great form is very the same like a Simon Lizotte.

This one simple thought of pushing the right hip back helped me learn how to brace. Been trying to learn for three years… Huge thank you, Leon! Keep shredding it

I've been trying to learn and my hips are the problem now. I see all these videos that go on and on and don't resonate at all, as in, how am I supposed to initiate the hips. Enough with the magical 'and then they just spin' nonsense. This instruction is what I've been looking for. Heading to the range tomorrow. Please work ... so tire of no hips. Will report back.

Good luck! You got this!

gltu on tour

just thought id hop in to say i finally broke that 500ft distance .. i realized what i was doing wrong and found easy mental fixes and now my shot is also super consistent with effortless power!

Cool to see you doing on the course videos too! Especially on the dgpt courses

Welcome back!

Good luck dude!

First!

Nice! So this actually shows how to brace correctly, isn't it?

How do you manage to not collapse the power-pocket when you do your style? Do you stop the rotation of the shoulders to let your elbow go through with your arm before you follow-through?

Very helpful video. Your explanations are so easy to follow! Thanks very much.

Really helpful. I was having trouble figuring out where my hips should be during reach back. Your explanation and the video replay make it easy to understand what I need to do. Thanks very much!

Great video.. thanks

If you’re arm is completely loose and just follows your body how does your shoulder and arm not collapse inward towards your chest? Something need to be tense somewhere so that your upper arm and shoulder stay at a 90 and not collapse inwards while lagging behind your torso. How can I combat this without actively driving the elbow forward?

Finally a video that I can completely understand. Great job explaining and showing how it's done! Can't wait to try it.

You've earned yourself another sub. Very helpful....keep up the good work,

I thought both of your videos were very insightful. Thanks!

Great video! A well deserved subscribe from me. Cant wait to try this out and hopefully finally beating my discgolfgroup

5:43 "Keeping the center of the hips above the line" Is the real game changer for me, cant wait to go test it out! Thank You! You got the best "tutorials" and tips on youtube! Easiest subscribe ever.

@LeonSonnleitner I must thank You a lot. Now starting my 5th season in disc golf, and till this video I still couldnt understand that one thing I am doing wrong (stuck at 120m) Tension -> plant foot -> rotate 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

I have been watching many form videos in the past but it was never explained in a way which my brain could grasp easily. My key information I got from you is that the arm stays loose and the pull of the arm is coming from my hip rotation instead of an active pull. I will try this today and think this is the key for an efficient form. Thx a lot. When can we expect a sidearm video 😍?

Love you already bro. Simple perfect. Stay up

Trying to implement this for the past 3 months I've just now realized that it's way easier when my front hip is out in front of me. So when I'm doing my x-step/reaching back I almost stick out my front hip. Then when I throw it's way easier to get my front hip back. I was watching your throw and I noticed how you did this (4:30), and its helped me a lot. Thoughts?

First time someone actually explains how to throw in a way that is easy to understand.

This was so helpful bro! I have always tried to make my off arm do what my favorite pros off arms do, and when I do that instead of letting my arm be natural my whole form gets terrible!

Your videos have helped me a lot. Can you explain how to properly throw anhizer and flex shot? The way you explain really makes more sense to me than anyone else

You're sharing Simon's secrets. Amazing video. I wanna go work on this right now. But it's midnight.

Thank you very much for the videos they are very helpful.

Best disc golf form coach on CZcams and it's not close.

Dude I could kiss your face😂😂😂 please do a forehand hips video next

Thank you for this lesson. I just did a "dry run" in my house. What a difference. Had no idea I was not creating any tension because my hips were with my shoulders pointing back. I'm in my early 50s, just over a year into DG. Forehand everything, but now have tendonitis in my throwing arm, so backhand it is! I'm throwing further, and cannot wait to try this on a course ASAP.

so sick!

I like the simple, focus of this video. There are so many videos on so many details that trying to focus on even a tiny bit of it leaves me a tensed up mess. On another front, though I see a lot of content suggesting the theoretical ideal for a throw is a 4 degree downward disc angle. How can that have lift? There's more to a disc than just the overall flight plane, i.e. it's not just a squat cylinder flying through the air. There's a parting line and shape above and below it to consider. I've not worked out the physics, but I assume someone did -- unless the 4 degree thing is just totally made up. I guess we'll find out as more and more people spend time with tech discs.

I know you focus quite a bit on just staying loose and using the body but I'm curious if you think there's any arm strength put into the throw at all and, if so, where/when? Do you think the arm should add any strength to push the disc out from the pocket at all for instance?

Thanks for the video! Would be curious to get your thoughts on this: czcams.com/video/Slc2Q3aOqls/video.htmlsi=meo84bL1LlomyAoZ Do you think it contradicts your recommendation at all? If nothing else it seems to suggest the hip rotation should happen after the pocket rather than right when the plant goes down? I'm not trying to challenge you. Just trying to improve my understanding

I have actually been working these things out on my own this year in my first year of playing. But the hips against my shoulders was the missing piece. Can't wait for this snow to go away to get out the field for some work on this. Thank you so much for these videos. BEST CONTENT BY FAR!

excellent teaching here--if you use the hips to throw instead of the arm, then you will avoid injuries

It’s impressive how much power you generate on your straddle putts. I like how slow and smooth the reach back on your putts are.

I love your x-step. I feel like so many new players misunderstand the purpose of the x-step and inevitably end up taking a huge step that turns their body backwards. You’re keeping things simple and controlled and the disc is coming out like a jet.

Love those disc flyby sounds. Great job by the camera man too.

Great video gentlemen 👌 well done 👍

Which course is that?

Form looks so smooth! But during your slow-mo it looks like you are doing something with your throwing arm. In your Nose Down video you say you're not really doing anything with it. You're not pulling or anything, since your arm is connected to your shoulder. So how is your arm doing something, without you doing anything?

Nice Video!
