What I never noticed before is how they don't really pull the disc back. They just get to a point in their run-ups where they keep the disc in one place and move their bodies past it, until they have to bring it forward.
After 6 years, this is probably still the single best video for form work. The difference in the 4 players' individual styles and yet, they're all fundamentally the same. And these guys are really good at the fundamentals.
Wow Paul's momentum was epic into that shot. Great footage just started filming our drives recently to really get a second hand perspective on the way we drive
I SWEAR that looking at Eagle's throw here at .25x speed is altered (even though I know it isn't)! The disc literally DOES NOT MOVE as he comes out of the x-step and plants his foot, almost like his arm CAN'T move from that spot (other than to extend) and then just POWERS through that throw! WOW!!
So cool to watch in slow Mo, I shoot very similar to McBeth because I’m 5’9 and like to hop on my X step and put my front foot really far out... almost as good as mine 😅
McBeth… WTF…. He practically lunges backwards into his plant foot. And from the end of his reachback to his release looks like ~10ft of distance. What an animal….
They're all great to watch and truly inspire to try and make my throw better, but specifically the line Mcbeth draws with the disc is just bonkers good. Not being a lanky monster he's getting massive distance/accuracy with just a beautiful line!

Oh my goodness, Eagle's throw at
I like how despite the nuances in their form the fundamentals are still the same between all of them.
Kajiyama's form is even more majestic in slow-mo😵

best instructional disc golf video I've seen, Thanks!
This video is worth subscribing. Thank you. So fascinating.
Kajiyama has an awesome leg kick. Reminds me of a pitcher throwing a baseball. The follow through is the hardest part for me, thanks for posting this.
Love these slow-mo’s

So satisfying to watch the reach back on the first one when his disc just stays still

the few frames where the arm is basically stationary in space are a sight to behold
