Yea that’s so true, when I was making film I was like I’m gonna have to slow this Down so I can see it… I know if I’m doing that viewers need it as well:) love the feedback
Disc golfing seems so straightforward and simple until you start playing a lot and wanting to get better. Then it's like a good 6 months of starting over again
Ive only been playing "seriously" for like a year still can barely get to 300 without a hard hyzer flip. I always tell new people to put the disc in between their index and middle finger, its helped me keep my release flat
=) It's spelled "Plane". p.s. I've always told beginners to line the disc up with that line on your palm closest to your thumb and to keep the disc in line with the forearm bones, which is pretty much exactly what you're doing now. I always wondered why some instructors didn't mention that immediately to new guys. They talk about the grip but not how the disc lines up with your arm so much. And yeah, keep the disc on the plane of the shot is bang on. That's very important.
lol I just went back and watched it and realized “plain” lol 🤦♂️ I’ve never seen it that way but that’s a great explanation for it. I’m gonna I’m use it if I ever take a new player out
Very welcome, I struggled with this for a long time, I wasn’t throwing super nose up but just enough for mess with me, lol thought I would share some things that make me more consistent, :)
Appreciate the feedback so much, glad you can relate, and your enjoying the content. I enjoy making videos but if no one can relate and no one enjoys them it’s not near as fun, lol seriously tho thanks 🙏
i watched a video where the guy talked about what each finger did in throw )grip wise) i think he said the pinky was nose angle and it kind of makes sense. nose angle is the biggest theif of distance in all of discgolf. If i were to critique your form, i would suggest working on the head and dis-engaging it from your spine. Its something i have (and still might)of done a all the time. but when you stop leading with the head you can really feel it by staying loose and letting everything else do its thing. im sure you have seen all the same videos i have. but its the one thing that jumps out at me. 460 is a bomb, and im hella jealous. Im just about to do some field work and im going to try to get more nose down today.. also one thing you can try as well. when you demo your nose down sample, turn your wrist like your are locking a lock, just a tad, I find that can help as well getting the disc ou flatter, sometimes it will come out anny, but its just food for thought, i always assumed i needed to do tha tbecause of my skateboarding days and my wrist injuries.
Love the feedback, i was pretty surprised when I changed my grip how much better I was throwing. I agree with the head it’s something I’ve tried working on and still am, for some reason it’s hard for me to remind myself, yea I was definitely happy and a little surprised to hit 460 twice. I like the key 🔑 thought never thought of it that way but I like it, definitely something to think on, love the support man, thanks again.
Thanks for the tip. I feel the same way on my reach back I may be angling my reach back downward and then having to correct in rotation to release. Solid tip to think about a level plane from reach back/ load to rotation and release being on the same plane at least but optimally horizontal plane or level with the horizon
Those were some good throws, I’m on the quest to 500ft….it’s gonna be a challenge. I wanna do a video about it…. We will see! I’m definitely throwing further now than I’ve ever have. It’s a good feeling but I need to hone in on accuracy, lol
i thnk one of the issues i've had is nose angle due to my small ass hands. I'm 5'11" and change, but i have very short fingers. In order to get all 4 fingers underneath the rim, i have to have the disc more perpendicular with my hand. If i switch to letting my pinky off, then the disc can sit more comfortably on the meat of my thumb. Powergrip for smaller hands seems to be asking for trouble.. at least in consistency for me because i mentally have to really make sure i turn my wrist down. Dropping the pinky off and it is pretty naturally nosedown ...
Keep working at it. I gave up playing after 9 months because I was gaining no distance and was only able to get 200 feet on good throws. Came back to it about a month ago. Pretty consistently getting like 210 to 220 with the occasional 230 to 240.
@@brianc1651 good for you not to give up entirely, there was several times a actually told myself I’M DONE with this sport and I’m selling all my stuff, I struggled so much on getting passed 325-350 for so long but now it isn’t a problem. Stick with it. Glad to hear your back out playing
I tell you it's a process. I started about 150 last summer. Slowly got more and more each month. Backhand is still my weakness. Seems I should be able to get more than forehand but still have a hard time breaking 300.
@@joem8496 I was the same was, was forehand dominant and sucked at backhand, started watching film and trying to get batter with lots of practice and it took along time but things here lately have started coming together.
thanks just bought my first set of discs today and needed to watch this, gonna practice again tomorrow and see how it compared to how I did today. I know your third tip was something a friendly disc golfer told me while passing me by
Nice dude. I need to do field work. I am stuck at 300-350. Sometimes I get a odd rip out to 400 but I don't know what I did to achieve it. A tailwind and hitting it just right. I need to work on my game though.
It took me so long to pin point the stuff I was doing wrong and make adjustments, I still have those moments but as I practice I understand my body and can more so feel what’s happing. There are so many little things that make a difference.
Hey Danger Mouse... I mean DM... 6:00 actually, isn't that Nose UP?.... The pause position has your hand facing back, nose high to the rear... but a frame or 2 after the unpause shows you rotate past, dropping the nose.. but releasing sort of upward again... Have you tried launching a batch of straight stable shots no higher than shoulder height for total trajectory... I found that helped me stop launching "Sky Hyzers" with disks that should have travelled straight (Remembering of course, I'm mediocre... not a pro here... I shoot for par and 100m repeatable max. Course I use a LOT of shots that no Utube channel EVER mention.... (as I generally use 10-11 discs and shape/Hyzer/Anhyzer them to fill the gaps. Latest being neck high back shoulder looking at the target and aiming at the spot (base of the basket etc) for 100 ft upshots... I can grab almost any disk (except my most under stables) and it turns out flat as it hits the ground... best choosing rubbery mids and they stop dead at the bullseye... but again no one ever would say do that... course I use the same shot, slightly higher and only with enough power to fade just beyond... and get the odd beautiful 100ft flex S into the basket.... If only I could do it consistently. I'd still love to c you grab a scorch and try my 'frisbee' throw... facing the target, front ft at about 40-45deg, and straight arm from below/behind the left hip across and yeet away up about 40deg Hyzer out to the right without taking your eye off the target... making the arc dead smooth. (I use my scorch as on a Hyzer it tends to travel without lifting/dropping unless in a crosswind. I does tend to skip on at landing but it doesn't matter when I just near bullseyed someone's bag at 200ft with what looked like a YEET EDIT... AHHHH I HATE U-TUBBIE... It recommended a video I have already watched fully 4 months ago (and I thought it said minutes... sigh... thought it looked familiar. I'll go back to sleep now... sigh
I feel like I’m a few months behind you on form / practice. I’m just within the last week clearing 400 ft without downhill/tailwind assistance consistently
And then you realize the nose of the disc isn’t the front of the disc when you put your hand out like that :-P it’s about 9 o’ clock when you extend your arm 😅
Great video! Thanks for the slo-mo, a lot of CZcamsrs don’t use that and it’s very hard to see the form without it
Yea that’s so true, when I was making film I was like I’m gonna have to slow this Down so I can see it… I know if I’m doing that viewers need it as well:) love the feedback
The moment I realized we can throw nose down while sending the disc upwards 15+ feet, everything changed. lol, good video man.
Appreciate it man, I know lol it took me so long to get it. I was like “how can you throw it UP nose down”??? Lol haha 😂

@@jimsonjohnson3761 For real lol, was getting things down and now my nose angle is messing with again. 🙃
Great video, and really nice slow-mos! I struggle with the nose up and for sure will try your 3. changes 👌🏻
Let me know if it works out for ya, I’ll help anyway I can. Hope you see the difference I did
Ive only been playing "seriously" for like a year still can barely get to 300 without a hard hyzer flip. I always tell new people to put the disc in between their index and middle finger, its helped me keep my release flat

Disc should follow your back leg basically. That should help with timing as well
Great point, never even noticed that, super cool
😎
Man it take me about 30 throws to warm up and you did it in 3
Lol haha 😂 I warm up pretty quick not sure what it is but I have a very active job maybe that has something to be with it lol
How do you hold the disc like that without being very strained? Maybe I am stiff, but for me it just ends up with the disc going even more hyzer.
It took some time to get used to it, at first it was uncomfortable turning my wrist down like that
I’ve been using the Gannon buhr / Ricky method where you turn the disc like a key
Don’t know why I’m just hearing about the key 🔑, I like it, it’s a good visual and makes sense
Lol 😂

good looking swing

Are you throwing at Ben Geren?
Yes lol
