  • So many things go into throwing backhand distance, but if I had to pick the most important three, I would start by making sure you get these three right first!

    I've been playing for 3 years. ONLY with friends, because I couldn't get the mental aspect of things down..so I just did it as fun. Scott, your way of teaching and explaining things, has allowed things to CLICK! Now I understand the mechanics, what I am supposed to be doing, and how to do it. Now I just have to put in the work, and I think I'm going to play my first Trny this year. A fantastic teacher! Also THANK YOU for all that you do for Autism. Hearing you, and watching you win and donate skins to their cause, has made you my fav disc golfer. Sorry for the long comment, but I appreciate all you've done for the sport, and for all of us! THANKS SCOTT!!

    Thanks for making it simple. Even after watching tons of form videos this still gives something, because it's easy to lose the big picture about working as a whip while breaking it into too small details and getting all tangled in those. In the end, putting it all together needs a bit of getting on knees mentally to get that overhead view of what's happening.

  • @thebr0wnhornet

    I always appreciate how you can break things down. Went to the course after watching this and focused on #1 and had a breakthrough. I started counting the steps in my x step and saying throw in my head (like 1234 throw). Just doing that in my head stopped me from pulling early and rushing through the motion and actually planting before the disc moved. Then I was able to easily get that up to speed and keep the lag just by counting a little quicker. I think doing that could help a lot of people and it’s simple enough that I can still focus on the other things I’m working on (keep that elbow up!)
    With #3 for me, I realized all my “grip locks” I was struggling with were really from starting the throw halfway open and finishing to the right bc I never got my head back. Now I make sure I’m watching the disc hit the pocket as a way to keep my head from turning early

    The first third of a golf swing doesn’t matter. It isn’t used in the swing to create speed. You can hit just as far when starting from a no back swing.

    2nd point is totally wrong isnt it? Nose should be flat compared to the ground, if you throw a launch angle of say 15 degrees, the nose needs to be down 15 degrees to match the angle of the ground?

    • @MaximilianBerkmann
      @MaximilianBerkmann Před 4 měsíci

      The direction of a disc and its nose angle don't have to be exactly the same. If you're throwing nose down, that just means the disc is pointing downwards in relation to its line of release (if you throw on a 40° uphill slope, nose down would put the disc at say 35°).
