- Hey guys!
In this video Johannes is showing me the grenade, thumber, tomahawk and the spike hyzer. We then try them out in real life course similated situations to see how well they will work for me. Before this video I had only tried the spike hyzer :).
Hope you´ll enjoy the video ❤🤘

A bit about me if you´re wondering:
I started at Latitude 64° a bit over a year ago and been trying to learn the sport of disc golf and making videos of that process from that day onwards. Before that I hadn´t even heard of disc golf. So it´s been a really great and fun experience so far (still feel I have a lot to learn, tho) watching and learning from the people around me at work and the great tips from all of you guys. Thank you for that!

For all of these shots the usual choice is an overstable driver. I am no expert on tomahawks and thumbers as I almost never throw these shots. With that said: For me personally I always use an overstable fast driver for spike hyzers. For a grenade I use an overstable disc when I want it to go as straight as possible. When I want a grenade to move a bit to the left in the air (I'm right handed) I go with a neutral midrange or putter. My best advice however would be to try out the different shots with different discs and see what works for you. / Johannes

I do these shots every hole I play because I'm a master-shanker from the tee.
Haha you and me both. The disc usually does this:

I feel your pain. If there's trees in the way, I hit the first available.
"I feel heat, I feel cold, I feel pain."
"Then you did it all right." WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That killed me, and is so true! Great vid gents!
😂🤘
With a grenade, if you use the grip that Kevin Jones uses it hurts way less. It feels really weird but it works. What you do is you put the disc between your index finger and your middle finger and then with your thumb you pinch your index finger against the inside of the rim of the disc. Scott Stokely has a tutorial on how to use this grip on his channel.
Glad someone commented this. I wanted to mention it but didn't know how to explain it properly. 😁
Yes, this is the way to do it. You get the grip on the rim from the index finger but the strength from the thumb. Could be an idea for a short video demonstrating the alternative grip Johannes & co.
Yeah this grip doesn't hurt and flies just the same as the other one.
Thank you Jonathan and Johannes for all the work and time you put in entertaining us and growing the sport with your light-hearted spirits. Much appreciated and much love.
And to add to already all things important said: Realizing there are none-pro players trying to improve their game/understanding and explaining it "us".
Are we getting to the point to where tutorials slow down and we get more course vlogs?! :D
Also, can we to a video on the disc design process with Tomas? I want to get super nerdy with it.
Hmm I don´t know. If we can make them interesting enough. But we still have plenty of how to videos we wanna make :). Yes there will be in the future for sure. /Jonathan
Yup, I think Tomas design process would make an awesome video
@@Latitude64 I'd be keen on a video like this similar to Simon's Tilt but more techy.
Get Thomas to teach Johnathan how to make his own signature disc 😀
Decide on a disc type like neutral fairway driver.
Choose the shape and key dimensions.
Make a prototype 3d print?
Try it out.
Make some tweaks.
Viewers might invest to make it into production 😀
@@snikwahjets I would IMMEDIATELY purchase this
Another disc golf video that ended up making me laugh out loud multiple times. That's why Jonathan and Johannes stay my favorites! Comedy, Editing, Golfing. All 5 outa 5 boards!!
Tomashawk :D
😂🤘
That "BOOOIII!!!" at 3:12 caught me off guard. Lost my shit right there! 😂 Love you guys!
Got Latitude 64 commercial before Im watching this video. I think Johannes and Jonathan has already won me over after watching so many videos and a bag filled with Latitude discs.
It’s awesome to see how Johannes has gotten more comfortable in front of the camera since the start. I love these videos
You guys rock! Thanks for making the learning process a fun one. Also, got a good chuckle out of “Tomashawk” lol
Jonathan quote; "I don't even like my thumb anyways." Me; busted up laughing. :0 for real though love your guys's videos, I rarely like videos on CZcams but I've liked everyone you guys at put out. There is a million videos you guys could make that would help any disc golfers out there, I've been playing for years now and I'm constantly updating and improving my game. One video I haven't seen you guys make yet is a forehand video I hurt my elbow not too long ago so I had to relearn forehand throwing. Keep up the high-quality work you guys are doing great that's what sets you apart.
We made this video a while back. Tho the forehand is something we´ll be getting back into at some point :)
czcams.com/video/M9EcILx2BrU/video.html
Love the flight path graphics overlaid on the video. Always always always add them. They help so much to illustrate what has been described.
As allways a great video👍
It could be cool with a completely nerdy video explaining the flight ratings system.
We have to have a Jonathan in the bag video ASAP
These videos get more and more amazing every time you guys upload, thank you for the laughs and the tips ,I'll be playing at shady oaks later ,gunna try some of these
that you so much :). Hope you found them helpful. /Jonathan
grEnade, haha. I do like the Tomashawk, though! The favorite shot of Swedish disc golf company higher-ups everywhere.
forehand spike hyzers are a thing you can do. As a forearm only player, it feels much more natural than a tomahawk. Feels like a golf swing, you lean forward a bit and throw to your lead shoulder with a super late release. Doesn't work when you're right up next to some tall trees but it gives you good height with some decent distance. If you have enough space you can turn it into a hyzer flip with the right disc and angle.
Once again expectations exceeded! The drone shots were cool and helpful. Thanks again for all the great advice.
I play a lot of woods golf, and I use tomahawks/thumbers more than the others. I don't use them to get over trees though; putting that much height under them is uncomfortable. i use them for hitting higher gaps while scrambling, or tracing specific flight paths. If I'm going over something very high I'll probably go with a spike hyzer or grenade. Sometimes I find myself in a fortress of bushes and the only way back to the fairway is a small gap 15' or 20' above me. Tomahawks are perfect for that situation.
Let's all gather here and say *thank you*
Thanks for improving my game and giving me more options on the course! Also for the sick editing, the entertainment, and the SOUNDTRACK!!!!
Great vid. I love grenades! 🧨 protip: put your index finger inside the disc instead and then lock it in place with your thumb! It is very smooth AND doesnt hurt as much!👍
Yes, this. You can use your middle finger too. Way less painful than using just the thumb.
@@j.roberge8233 yes!!👍
Defiantly 2 of my most favorite ppl in disc golf love all your videos keep it up guys!!!
There is a pain free grip for the Grenade! It looks funny but I think it feels fine. Scott Stokely teaches it and probably a lot more people so it shouldn't be hard to find.
Yes! The Kevin Jones grenade grip.
Not only does it feel good, you gain much more power. I love using the Tilt for Grenades. If you through the Tilt for a grenade, you can use a horizontal throw and it will quickly turn vertical and go 250". I like how it stops right where it lands.
Appreciate the content and the laughs, thanks guys !
The amount of amazing quotes and humor on this channel is the best. Thank you
I love when y'all just play courses together with Tomas and have fun! I really like seeing the beautiful courses and everyone having a good time while learning disc golf.
Was really worried you would run out of content but this is the best one yet, and you are already smashing it with your videos.
TomasHawk jaja niceee... A shoulder party exactly my thought 😢🤣
yet another throw to practice during field work! great work guys. i would like to see you guys discussing about the metal game of disc golf next if possible!
I love these videos. You guys really have great personality and the format is extremely informative and easy to follow.
Thank you for providing such great content.
you guys know how to show great shots and have a lot of fun doing it!! Thanks.
Future Video Idea.....Best disc selection for throwing on extreme downhill and Uphill.... I have heard throwing putters on 500ft down hills is better than a driver. Love you guys!
No, thank you guys! I'm ordering my first starter disc set this week! I just wanna give both of you a big hug. Your videos always make me feel sooooo good.
These videos are amazing. I love how you guys are now doing different throws. Like the rollers and now to throw over stuff. I think that you could do a video on how to get a disc to skip properly.
Really enjoying these! Great stuff guys!
I'm a baseball player so tomahawk works great for me, even when throwing low shots hard and far. I've tried spike Hizer but nearly threw my back out, I'm 54.
Thank you, guys, for the videos. By far, some of the most entertaining, useful, and well crafted disc golf instructional videos. We feel the love, and hope you do too. If you ever make it to The States, or I make it our way, I would be honored to catch a round with any or all of you. Beautiful courses too.
Best disc golf channel for noobs and fun! No shade.
You guys are the best! Grateful to you!
This may be the best channel for disc golf. You guys are hilarious 😂😂 keep it up!
Guys, you're the BEST!
With winter sneaking up on us, maybe do a "what to think about during fall and winter", what to pack and what not.. and how does it affect the discs?
Keep it up ❤
Thomashawk......hahaha! Love it! Great video, these are shots a lot of people could use to help them lower thier scores with these trouble shooting or scramble game type of shots! 💯👍👀📹🦄⛓️
I am learning right along with you Jonathan. Keep the videos coming please! I need to work on my TomasHawk 🤣
Love all of your videos (that I've seen), you guys do such a great job of covering a variety of skills and explaining them clearly. My mother recently got into the sport and your videos are some of her favourites for exactly those reasons.
The experiment worked, I can't imagine Jonathan working for another disc golf company :D
Nice job again! And yeah! You have to try these... and find out what works and what definitely does not!
My shoulders are in pain even at watching these ;)
You guys are awesome 😎 keep these tips coming!!!
Normally I wait until I'm told to like the video, but when Jonathan asked "what do you think man, woman, child?" I cracked up and had to smash that like button
Thank you for all these videos. I love what you have done and yours is the first channel I recommend to new golfers and you all have switched half of my bag to Latitude 64. I now bag Pure, Fuse, River, Explorers and Saints in multiple plastics. Once your royal line is easier to find I am really looking forward to the Trust and Grace! As far as video ideas I would like to see, I don't think you all have covered patent pending and step out forehands as afar as shots and I would like to see some tips on shots and putts with elevation changes. Thanks again.
Another great video! Thanks guys! Love the core bag I just got! It's perfect! So is the compass. My go to disc between 70 to 230 ft!!!! 🤩
Love these videos !!
Great entertainment and educational as usual. Been following disc golf on youtube for a couple of years and you've managed to find the perfect sweetspot that I haven't found on any other channel. Bra grejer!
Tack snälla! Ha en fin dag! /Jonathan
I e been disc golfing for about two months, at first I found chasing the discs EVERYWHERE was great exercise. I wanted to throw better so I started watching you guys and I have learned a lot, while being entertained. I have to say, I like your accents very close to my German relatives accents makes me miss them but reminds me of them at the same time.
you guys do a excellent job at explaining without confusing a New disc player !!
Great video! Definitely saving this for future practice rounds 👍🏻
I think a better demo for throwing thomashawks and thumbers is when you're basically in a big-ass bush. Happens to me all the time. No room to throw a backhand, forehand, spike hyzer or anything. Just huck it over. Had one chain out from about 60 ft recently. I'll get one!
Looking forward to these throws on the tournament video that you filmed last weekend! :D
Aotearoa New Zealand watching and thanking you.
Well, thats it.
Im never calling it a tomahawk anymore, from now on its always a "Tomashawk"! Thanks for "educating" me on this matter! :D
Great video as always! Funny and hugely informative. I learned a bunch! I'm with Johannes on the overhead throws...my shoulder does NOT like that motion at all.
Best disc golf material out there by far 😄
I needed this! Overhand shots elude me
Jonathan: Nature ❤ (then pets the bush) 😂😂😂
Thx for another awesome video, fun and informative...love it!
Glad you liked it :)
Great as always. Do more videos on approach practice. Putting practice. disc selections on the medium to short plays.
I finally got myself latitude 64 plastic! Loving the discs so far guys! Also ordered the luxury e4 bag. Can't wait to get out on the course! Keep great content and products coming guys. Cheers!
Glad you like the discs :)
I really enjoyed these different shots in this video. Thank you! I was hoping for an in depth video on using your back arm with backhand shots. Is it more of a shoulder shrug with controlled shots and is it more of a punch towards the inner thigh on longer shots?
I've loved your videos ever since Jonathan was learning how to pronounce "disc golf." You've come a long way and you're such a genuine, likable guy. Love your dry sense of humor. Don't ever change.
Thank you so much! ❤ /Jonathan
Good explanation and again something new to try and maybe good to know when I'm in trouble in alleys or something
Bad ass and so good learning you revile👍👍. Sore thumb up for that😊
I love you guys, great advice mixed with great humor. Keep the content coming...OR ELSE (Kidding, but really, keep it coming)
I played my first ever round of disc golf 4 days ago, I loved it! I immediately went home and straight to CZcams. After finding your channel and binging the disc golf basics playlist, I was able to shave 9 strokes off my game on my second go around today! I absolutely love what Jonathan and everyone else is doing with this channel. Thankyou guys for the amazing content :).
-Colton
That´s great, Colton! Way to go! Have a great day! /Jonathan
Great explanation of how each move
Excellent content, thanks! Loving these. Metal music also
I love you ❤️ Thanks for making my feed awesome!!
Thanx for the lesson!
Thanks for showing the four throws in a real location.
MORE SWEDISH ROCK!
I have a 14 speed teleport in my bottom pocket of my bag for one specific hole at my local course. It only comes out for one thumber. If it has to come out again its been a bad round! Great video, tomahawks and thumbers are great for players with baseball background. Keep them coming!
Idea for future video GLOWIE DISK round!
Första gången jag såg en av era videos tänkte jag "va i helvete är det här för s**t". Men oj vad ni har omvänt mig. Informativt, intressant och ruggigt roligt! Jag vet inte vad jag vill att ni ska göra härnäst men jag vill ha mer vidoes av er!!
Haha så himla kul! Ha en fin dag! /Jonathan
The Tomas-hawk was clever.
I've heard Tomas loves overhand shots. Just the way he designed the discs to be trown ^^
Gold, as always
The Tomashawk... I see what you did there! HAHA. You two make the best disc golf tutorial content on CZcams!
As a beginner who started disc golfing a month ago, these videos have been beyond helpful, took my first win over my buddy that’s been playing for years! Thanks amazing videos!
That´s awesome! Glad you like the videos :) /jonathan
excellent tutorial!!!
Awesome as usual guys! Would love to see a warm up type video! Exercises/stretches that you can do before you play a round or two.
Recording one tomorrow actually :)
@@Latitude64 Sweet! Can't wait!
I've recorded myself disc golfing for an English language video I made, and I can throw 300ft or so in nearly a straight line using the hyzer flip. But I noticed my left arm is all floppy like a noodle when I throw. I think it should do something while righty does all the work. Maybe make a video about what your off hand is supposed to do when you throw backhand shots? Just a suggestion. Love you guys!
I want to see more on rollers. Why do the discs go in the same pattern as when they fly? And how can you make a roller accurate? What discs are better and why?
Also I'd like to see yaboy Per from DGV actually throw discs. Maybe you can get him as a guest.
Keep up the great work!
The editing is masterful:)
Thank you so much ❤
Oh my god I loveeeeeee this Chanel… you two are soooo funny and make my day… keep it up 👍🏼
Thank you so much ❤❤
@@Latitude64 and if you see thomas, tell him I love the FAITH PUTTERS, viva latitude 64 ✊🏼
if you’ve ever played baseball or softball i highly recommend the tomahawk and thumber. the baseball/softball throwing motion translates very well
Tomahawk all day every day, except Thursday even weeks when I land on the fairway. Still calling it a duck, the nostalgia is strong.
I often use a hammer with forehand power grip) from years of Ultimate. Getting it to land on its back before the fade can give you a great slide. Also a great way of getting through trees since the disc is vertical.
Disc golf is fun
😄good one.
Great music! Great content!
I love throwing all four of those shots - The tomahawk angle should be similar to throwing a baseball from the outfield. If done properly (always stretch) you can easily get 250+ from the throw.
I throw it low sometimes and use the dome to slide shots up from up to about 175 ft. Just kinda pitch it like a baseball pitch.
I assume its Jonathan editing these videos? Your timing and sequencing is SO GOOD (in the edit, I mean.. discgolf form, eh, up for debate ;) )
Love all your videos, please keep doing them :D
Haha thank you! Yeah the editing I find easier than disc golf form for sure. Have a great day! /Jonathan
I'd like to see more courses out there plz.
