Simon always says slow feet, fast hands in any form video he does which is what your basically teaching here without saying it. Also in ball golf or disc golf you can only accelerate once in the swing and in disc golf you want that acceleration from the right pec to the hit. Great video can’t wait for the rest!
Just stumbled upon your series and I would like to apply these tips to my daily drive challenge videos. I'm trying to throw 350ft by the end of the year. I feel like I have hit a wall with my distance drives because I have learned bad habits at the start of playing that I need to break.
It's important to note that the whole "Slow is smooth and smooth is far" falls apart when you do like you did and take out the first part. Because slow does not equal far. Slow equals smooth which equals far. Meaning if you can remain smooth and be quick you can throw really really far. But for beginners slow is a really great tip as it is easier to remain smooth with a slower paced run up.
@@discgolfteacher All good, nice video by the way and all in all a great approach to learning good form. Building good muscle memory with a slow pace and later on speeding up is much easier than trying to build smooth form with hard and fast throws.
@@discgolfteacher Funny how you and I both mention James Connrad in our videos. I am so surprised that his run up hasn't resulted in a serious injury when he falls all over the place after his throw.
I’d say it’s farther because it’s slower and slower form you can work on your form to get faster and therefore it’s better and therefore discs fly further.
Currently I got a fast run up. I’ll try out a slower one today and focus more on timing(mine is already decent). I’ve thrown my two farthest throws in two ways. One was fast one was slow. I typically throw 30 feet farther with a fast. Thanks for uploading, interesting stuff!
I thought that too, after watching it back. One thing I did notice was how much larger my strides were and how much room the "faster" one took up. Slow/small steps then explode.
Have you tried to pick a spot on the ground perpendicular to your throwing line from run up until follow through? Your head is turning all the way back that slows you down. Just look at pros throw and you will see that their face is never turned all the way back :)
Yes, Anhyzer and high to get the full flight and full potential. But that wasn't really what I was going for. Stick me on a course and that's hitting first available... in order to be consistent, and have some idea of where the disc will go I'd suggest slower. Open field tee shot par 4 with nothing in the way, maybe a bit faster... maybe.
@@j45002 Wait until tip 2 tomorrow - unlocks SERIOUS Distance. I was blown away at how far they went.. I used a rangefinder too, so it should be within a foot or so.
@@discgolfteacher if you're talking about hyzer flip, that's not really gonna help me much. It's all form for me. My brace and back foot do some silly things
Hey, I'm doing my best. I for real think of it now when I make my titles... but man it's so hot here... retakes aren't happening if that's the only mistake. I'll try harder, I promise 😅
I noticed it didnt look as slow as it felt when i watched the footagw back. I think it was more that my "fast" run up took more space and had way larger strides.
Sorry dude, but this is straight comedy. Slower, faster, farther...whatever. 2 things dictate how far your disc will fly (outside of all the angles and that stuff), first is the release velocity and second is minimal off axis torque. And no, SLOW release velocity DOES NOT equal far! Neither does a slow runup or slow whatever else. You must have a nice straight pull and acceleration all through it. People who dont have enough skill (like you) just cant do all of that with a fast tempo...so you have no other choice than to do it slower. Until you gain more skill and can start doing it faster
@@discgolfteacher The laugh was mediocre. And no, I propably dont throw 100 meters farther than you, but I do know physics and I know it quite well. Also, i've tried all of it, fast is slow, slow is fast, far is near you name it. Like I already said, what matters is the initial velocity of the disc and how straight it gets going. Nothing too mysterious really, pretty much the same thing as with many/most objects that you try to throw. I throw about 130m on flat, no wind and in quite cold temp. But I'm also 40 years old :D
@@discgolfteacher why? All my days are pretty darn good already, I dont need it to "get better". But I sure hope you will grow up and learn to take some constructive criticism here a little better than you do right now :) Everyone wants to make videos about throwing their discs, but unfortunately not everyone has something new, useful or interesting to add on all the info that is already out there. Also, calling yourself "discgolfteacher" on youtube sounds pretty hilarious in itself for starters :D Especially when you clearly dont have a particularly good form to show off to your "students". But hey, all that just my opinion...carry on as you wish
"Nice slow run up and exploded the last second" sounds like my dating life
Hahaha 😆 😂

There is a walk up and a run up. For me, some of my longest drives were with the walk up. Slow and smooth is far.....and controlled.
Exactly!

For sure! I think accuracy increases as the run up speed decreases.
But muh athletic motion!
why not through along the mower lines for visual reference?
That's a good idea! Next time I film I'll try that
This is one of those feel vs real sitiations, cause there wasnt really much if any difference in your speed

The sprint up throw for the Grace seemed to be released more on an anhyzer line.

Did I miss the distances?
The walk ups were right at 430 and the run ups averaged 410.
@@discgolfteacherI would be happy to hit 400. I'm stuck at 300 still

Commenting a third comment just to say please say farther instead of further! No slam intended. It just drives me crazy

Well at least you got a good laugh out of it.
Also, I'm incredibly curious... how far do you throw?
