- Hey guys! 😀
I´ve been wanting to make this video for a while now. As a disc golf beginner there´s just something about throwing the disc far. Or wanting to throw the disc far I should say. In the video I´m trying my best to do just that - with the help of Tomas Ekström. If you have any other tips then let me know in the comments.
A tip:
I think it´s a good idea to watch some of the other videos in the "Disc Golf Basic" series prior or in combination with this video.
Like Throw better with this run-up:
• Throw BETTER with this...
And Throw really straight:
• Throw REALLY straight ...
Then you´ll get a better picture of what it takes to throw further as we didn´t go into those steps in great detail in this video (so it wouldnt be a 2 hour epos).
I hope you like this one and if you have any other suggestions on what you´d want to see or learn more about then please let me know 😀🤘

Thank you for making videos that actually relate to the Normal/average disc golfer! Keep em coming please!
I´m glad you like them :) /Jonathan
Ya'll are throwing 240 feet as beginners :') ??
@@YellowRanger911 sure. beginner at discgolf. played frisbee for 30 years.
me and my sister always go "oh no, look.. bag boys" when we see those people that take it a little more serious and we're about to slow down the pace of the course XD
Oh this is beautiful. "I think you should focus on throwing straighter"
And longer...
I am still laughing from that! It was gold.
I really like these videos, especially Jonathan's enthusiasm and willingness to be "not good" on camera. I've played since I was a kid, and definitely have some bad habits, it's nice to see someone get coached through fixing bad habits. especially by someone as good natured as Tomas. I hope these videos continue.
I´m glad you liked the videos, Zane :) /Jonathan
"That's why I'm using the bolt and with it I'm not making any mistakes"...
"there was a couple mistakes" Lol I love you guys. I get happy every time I see a new vid. I've been playing for 6 yrs and still learn a lot. You banter is great. BTW set distance goals good for wanting to become better, mines 400 feet hit it this year.
Haha I´m glad you like it. I think I just got another goal. 400 feet. Let me know if you reach it :) /Jonathan
I love that edit. :D
These videos are so good when Tomas sounds like a proud poppa. 😂
"There you go!"
😀😂
Big applause to Jonathan and the marketing team at Latitude. Perfect timing, perfect content and great production. So happy I found these videos!
These vids are so well done...you both are hilarious and the vids are very informative
Thank you :) /Jonathan
This is the funniest and most useful disc golf series at the moment. The editing is so sharp. I hope they get a few more recorded before the snow arrives!
Thank you :). Looking into other options to being outside. So there will be content either way. /Jonathan
Been throwing for 6 weeks, these videos help, tremendously. Much obliged!
I love these series. It shows how much a beginner (jonathan) is improving!
Awesome improvement! Oh...to be young and have a working right knee again! I love watching you learn and remember back to when my problem was just technique. I wish these videos existed for my game before I was old and broken!
I am a frequent teacher, and I’m loving all these tips. Outstanding job guys.
These guys are fun to listen to and have great chemistry! I also learn alot too!
Every time I watch a new one of these videos I know its going to be a good day. I always get so excited and head to the park to practice the same techniques that Tomas was recommending. Thanks for the best video series ever and congratulations Jonathan! So cool seeing you improve with every video. Can't wait until you're a pro with your own signature disc :)
Man this made my day. Thank you, Alexander :) /Jonathan
These are some of the coolest disc golf videos out there. Fun and informative.
The energy and the humor bring that joy to these vids. And in the end even if u suck you should have joy. For throwing I have an good ole golf quote: swing with ease into the breeze
I love this series. It helps dumb things down for a beginner like me.
Ive used my latitude mercy putter. I named it, "Texas Chain Massacre." Its been in my bag for over 5 years now. Im just now able to really get into DG. Thanks for this!
346ft is damn good honestly!
current best video series in all of disc golf. you 2 are so good. love it!
Cheers! :) /Jonathan
That riding the wave thing is very helpful. Thank you so much!
I've been hooked on disc golf, and trying to learn how to throw better and further. on one of my local courses, there is a hole that is 300 meters, and that used too take me like 10-15 throws to complete..(I blame all the trees) Yesterday i did some training on a open field next to where i live, and my longest trow was around 100 meters, progress :)
These videos definitely helps to learn and understand some technics, and finding the right disc. i have 9 discs so far, and there will be more.
Out of all the videos I watch to learn I like yours the best! Maybe it's because of your teaching a beginner. Please keep up the great work! I want to get better really bad! Thanks again for all you do!
Thank you for your feedback, Mark. Glad you like it! /Jonathan
When I started 2 months ago I could throw around 50m. Now I can throw around 80m. Now that I have watched this video I think that 100m could be possible.
Let me know how it goes, Niklas :) /Jonathan
I have practiced for about 5 months and now i can throw 120 when i get a good throw.
so how's it going?
I’ve been playing for 9weeks now, these videos have been very a helpful, thank you
These really are the best videos. We’ve learned so much as we’ve been getting into the sport.
Thank you, Brendan :)
Out of the countless useless subscription I make on youtube, this is not one of them..Latitude!!! Your crushing it. These help me so much
I´m glad :). Welcome. Let me know if there´s something you´d want to see on the channel. /Jonathan
How bout roller basics? Or even roller mechanics etc etc.
I love these videos. Videos with just pros are nice, but videos of a pro coaching a beginner I find to be much more helpful. Plus the production value is top notch. Thanks for the videos!
Hey Daniel. Thank you :) /Jonathan
I am a pretty new player, 3 months. This video probably helped my distance more than anything.
Thanks again, for your help and advice!☺ Keep on making videos, to improve the game of discgolf-players!!!👍
Watching this series has helped me with my game and also makes me want to start throwing your guys discs. Keep it up
Glad it has helped you :) /Jonathan
I know it's kind of weird, but its kind of nice to know that I can throw further than a popular youtuber and I've only played a handful of times. I know it doesn't make me a better player but still interesting
That´s great! Yeah for me being smooth and in contact with my body is not really what I´m good at. Still enjoy the game tho. have a great day! ❤🤘 /Jonathan
I love the way this guy creates videos.
Thank you, sir 🤘😀 /Jonathan
Over 200 for a beginner is pretty darn fine !! Best videos on learning the sport coming out of the Swedish woodlands !
Thanks from Alabama! Keep up the good work !
I got about a year in, and have to say, these videos have def helped up my game. Thanks man!
Glad to hear it. Joe!
These videos are great! Please keep making them! Very helpful.
Will do :). Glad you like them! /Jonathan
Thanks for this video. I've been trying to improve my game. Saw all the great effort with the edits too. Thank you!
i have been practicing for two months and was frustrated because i only got from 50 to 70 meters. nice to hear that this is normal for a beginner. 💪
Fun watching you grow as a player. My distance us right about where you started. Hopefully I can get to 300ft next year.
I relate , I enjoy , I get better with your videos. Your Kick Ass !!!
Thank you for the amazing videos!
I've had problem geting power inte my hyzer shots, and when Thomas said "just lock the door" it made so much sense. So I went to hole 4 at the local course, you have to make a 80 m S curve in the woods to get a birdie. I went there låste dörren and chained the bird and the round after I made the same thing with almost the same results the trees got in the way. 😅
Thank you and Im glad it helped. Awesome with the birdie! :) /Jonathan
Those hats and really all the apparel are so sick!! I want one!!
Thomas is back! Awesome video as always. You two make me laugh but learn as well.
Glad you like it :) /Jonathan
Finally someone espousing the anhyzer. I tell all beginners to throw enough anny to get an S and resist the immediate fade. 97% of them say “THAT’S TOO HARD” and then proceed to throw the same 175 foot noob hyzer over and over
Well, this isnt the type of shot beginners should get into the muscle memory early, this is much more technical and wont give you the precision you would need on tight courses. BUT... Im fairly good at throwing far, my regular distance is 420ft/130meters and my max is now 544ft/166meters, and i see alot of people complaining about why they cant throw further, but they still keep to their straight shots with a destroyer or something high speed, and it keeps fading like it should on a straight shot and ends up around 350-370ft.
If you see Simon, Eagle, Drew, GG or any of the furthest throwers, they always throw with a big S curve with a starting anhyzer angle to push out the most distance. So for the beginners out there, if you want to increase distance, start experimenting with a anhyzer release on your drives.
@@kejerith Or another option is learn to hyzer flip, you can mash something understable on a hyzer, get a flip up and ride right for a while, and get a lot of distance, although depending on disc stability/how much hyzer used/speed you throw with, your mileage may vary... for me I feel like I can smash on a hyzer angle more than an anhyzer. But maybe in time I can feel more confident and consistent with the anny release.
This series is awesome. Please keep going.
Thank you. Will do :)
These videos are fantastic!
American here. I appreciate the use of English, but I especially the quick conversions to imperial measurements in your videos. Also, thanks for the actual content. Haha. Great stuff. I'm a beginner and started wanting to make sure I don't develop early bad habits like I did in golf. I'm learning a lot.
Welcome Back Tomas
First of all, you guys are fuckin hilarious. Second, I would kill for private lessons from a pro. When I was young (19 or 20) I played disc golf everyday for like 2 years. Life happened and I stopped playing. Now I'm 37 and I'm picking it back up again. I realize even after all this time I'm locked into many bad habits. Back then a rip for me was 270-300. I also was aware I was doing something wrong I just didn't know what. I had a flip phone in my pocket so it wasn't like I could check the internet 🤣 Anyways I guess I just wanted to thank you guys. After my first two practice sessions I'm already consistently throwing it 290. I'm trying not to think to much during the throw. Changing little things step by step. Way harder than it sounds. Anyways, I could ramble about disc golf all day. Thanks again guys. 👍👊💪
I love the bolt! I bag 3. 1 gold line, 1 opto, 1 moonshine. I do disc up to a raider or sheriff in stronger headwinds though. Great S curves, one of my favorites!!😁
Dude, awesome job.
Great tips and funny too
Love these videos! Thanks a ton. I like the Bolt myself as a beginner :-)
I love these! So honest.
Thank you, Philip :) /jonathan
Hilarious and helpful for us noobs, thanks for the great content.
Circle 1 putting is most important
Yes times ten. Been playing five years now at social level. Ah, but not arguing with you just throwing out there the value of some distance that it took me a while to develop. All those bird-eligible holes that are 270 to 350. My circle 1 putt is third throw. I enjoyed this vid thinking, hoping to practice ideas to get into the distance. I am still a noodle arm to would enjoy being on tee pad at a 350 hole and have a chance that second shot is a circle 1 putt. Again, not arguing with you. Putting is only thing I practice off the course. I do work on drives and approaches but while playing. Improvement in putting over the last couple years, to your point, has gotten be to be that social player that can regular shoot a 52 to 54.
Keep uploading! Great content
I’m SO going to take all the advice you were given and see if I can do the same
Jonathan's been a beginner for decades now its impressive
Great videos! Funny comments and editing aswell. Learned alot!
Glad you like the video :) /Jonathan
And here I've been trying to hyzer flip by throwing with a hyzer angle instead of anhyzer...that and the simplified run-up advice improved my drives more than the last 3 months of field work. Thanks guys; this series is fantastic and I'm glad I decided to experiment with different disc brands. The gold-line plastic is my new all time favorite; such a great grip.
You are supposed to hyzer flip using a hyzer angle. That's why they call it a hyzer flip (it flips from hyzer to flat). You just have to use an under stable disc for it. If you use a stable to over stable disc then the disc won't flip to flat as well and if it does flip to flat it won't hold that line long before fading. An under stable disc will flip to flat and fly nice a straight for quite some distance before fading a bit at the end.
Yeah the final 5 throws are not hyzerflips. They are just flat throws that flex because of the disc
Incredible, this guy did in 1 day what I have failed to do for two years. I just can't get past 70 meters no matter what I do or what disc I use. But it looks so easy for everyone else.
Post a video of you driving a disc on reddit, a lot of people are friendly to give advice. I just did that.
I don't know the Lat64 guys names, but Teacher laid out some good things. Lower arm speeds should use lighter understable discs, throw flat (parallel to ground,
@@johnhall9900 Thanks for the advice. I do like lighter discs. My favorite being a 157g River which is probably both my straightest and longest flying disc. I think part of the problem is simply really poor armspeed as well as getting the release angle right.
I measured a throw for the first time the other day and thought 56m was pretty decent(only been playing 3 months with no instruction other than CZcams)....until I watched this lol! Time to take on board the last couple videos and go practice!
@Keith Sergent my furthest now is around 80 metres, getting there lol
I love the Bolt!
I love these videos. You guys are so funny to watch. The other day I found a Lat64 River on one of the local courses and it's become one of my top 3 discs. I have to be super careful throwing it though because it likes to flip up into the Anhyzer quite a bit when I throw forehand and I get great distance in the wrong direction. lol
Hey, Adam. Glad you like them. Haha "Great distance in the wrong direction" 😂 /Jonathan
Nicely done Jonathan! Grymt 👍😎
Got inspired to get out in the field tomorrow and practice some Backhand Drives 😀
go go go :) /Jonathan
These are great videos! Just gotta go practice now!
Thank you :) /Jonathan
I love you guys.
If I wasn't in lockdown these videos would make my disc throwing much better (maybe haha) . Good to see someone as a beginner having fun and not being afraid to make mistakes. You have done a great job with these videos. Keep it up (but not too high)
Haha the end of your comment was gold 😂😂. Thank you I hope they will help. Have a good one. /Jonathan
@@Latitude64 Back on our new 18 hole course in Ballarat Australia on sunday to try out the new 'skills' now our lockdown has been lifted. It's my new passion, but I love it more than it loves me haha
@@craigstevens7611 Let me know how it goes :)
Great video, watching it again as I am planning to have a little disc golf course for beginners this summer if everything goes as planned. Using these videos to help me see basics that I could teach and also just learning a lot from them!!! Latitude 64 FTW
BTW theres a little fun typo there in the end
"Avarage" in stead og "Average" lol
Thank you :). Haha I`m sure there are a lot of typos in these videos 😂. Have a great day! /Jonathan
I wish we had a discgolf range like that here in finland. That looks amazing for practicing
Go to football field, that is what I do for practice.
Wow that’s a major difference in your distance!! Thanks for your videos, I am a beginner. Never grew up playing frisbee even. I was a quarterback and a pitcher all my life and I get so frustrated with disc golf so far because it’s wayyy harder to control where I want the disc to end up then baseball and football haha.
Thank you, Pete! Good luck, I´m sure your background in those sports can help you out :) /Jonathan
Just watched it a second time and I see your throw improving throughout...wow ...I definately need to send a video to Tomas...your throw looks pretty great by the end
Thank you, James 😀/Jonathan
@@Latitude64 no problem I better hit the driving range again lol ...you out threw me with your longest one ...oh you are hooked now for sure
Loving this Odd Couple.
Throwing far has its advantages, but consistency is the most important aspect of any form of golf. Then comes the mental game. Nice vids, they help figure a lot of flaws in my game!!
I agree. Hence the "5 throws" to sort of get a slight feel of consistency :). Throwing far is still fun tho /jonathan
Glad you like the videos, Gary.
@@Latitude64 you’re not wrong! Throwing far is really fun and fun to watch when you know you threw a good one
Thomas is a really good teacher
He is :) /Jonathan
Love your vids man!
Thank you, Jason 🤘😀
I have a very good disc that fits for my throwing style: Explorer, which is Latitude 64° disc, and after these tips from this video i might throw my discs longer 😁
you defenetly killed it!
Thanks, John 😀
Jäkla bra serie ni har på gång 😁
👌 Nice, Jonathan! Would love too see how you do with the River and/or the Sapphire in comparison to the Bolt!
Thank you for the idea. 😀 /Jonathan
Great videos. Thanks
Thank you! Glad you like them :) /Jonathan
You 2 crack me up. 😂😂😂
oh man you guys have multiple tee pads lined up side by side. I've never seen that anywhere here in the states. That's a sign you guys take disc golf seriously. It's like a combine over there!
Thanks for your emails about the cationing. That's customer service and I shared it with my two sons and they were both impressed. Now to go buy the Bolt. Thanks.
You´re welcome, Frank :)
Awesome
Awesome editing with the music and all!
Cheers! 😀
Slow is smooth, smooth is fast, fast is far, far is cool. Got there eventually😎
I just bought an Innova Tern, which numbers wise is very similar to the Bolt. Looking forward to getting some drives in
Good luck :)
Best thing said in this video was Beginners should focus on consistency. Timing is one of the most important parts of generating the velocity to throw far. If your form is different every time you will never learn the timing to syncronize your upper and lower body and generate real velocity.
Tomaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas where is all that hair? hahahaha Looking good bro! And as a former european master champion I can tell you that distance was the weakest part of my game but I did won that tour 3 times. And that was all due to accuracy. Having a decent putt also helps but parking, more or less, every shot from 300 feet out wherever you are or whatever type of shot...that is key. And you can ask Tomas, I am not a big guy but throwing in between 300-400 feet was enough for my game. I also have a mean roller lol
So work on accuracy I would say :-)
Lmao. You guys crack me up,,, awesome intro… lol
See how much better the throw got when he was given the tip to run sideways towards the shot. The over-emphasis on reachback has people running backwards and putting the disc right behind them and rounding, and it really sets a lot of people back for no reason. The "reachback" is just a byproduct of turning your hips and shoulders nothing more. The same goes for the head. You don't turn it 180˚ backwards, it just turns whatever amount is necessary to allow your shoulders to turn. Unless you are the creature from the excorcist or an owl it is impossible to look forward while turning your shoulders backward.
For me it really clicked when I just started trusting my body to throw an object from a backhand position, putting the disc firmly in my hand pushing it down with my thumb (with most pressure between middle/ring fingers and thumb) and making sure that the disc passes my right pec during he throw. And I look at the line for as long as possible before my head is turned away by my body. *Do not* pre-turn your head and/or body to start the "reachback". That's like throwing a ball and keeping your arm straight out behind you for several steps before you throw. The rest just works itself out.
I find your input and thoughts really interesting. Especially the "trusting your body" part. /Jonathan
Fun video.
Glad you liked it. /Jonathan
😂😂😂 I feel you. If we just can throw far first we can always get straight later.
8:00 I really thought he was gonna do a backflip haha
Haha I wish. The video would have ended in a different way 😅🏥
baited
The “going fast” thing is very eye opening. That explains why the disc doesn’t go far when you muscle up because you’re taking away your momentum
I liked the concept of this video. Explanations tended to get more technical than a beginner can easily understand, should maybe break this into a few videos: disc selection and physics, footwork (standstill, one step, x-step), launch angles and grip, etc. Also, couldn't really see the discs in flight. :(
Congratulations on adding 80' to your drives, that's amazing! Good job!
Thank you for your feedback, John. I initially thought about adding more of that within this video (Tomas did mention it as well). My thought was to not do a stand alone video as it´s within the "basic" series. But we maybe should have added some of it in this video as well :). And thank you! /Jonathan
There needs to be a video for disc golf video creators that shows techniques to zoom in on the disc flying so you can see it after it’s released. 👍🏻
I totally agree....And here comes the accused 😂. The place where we shot the videos are perfect...it´s not ideal for shooting video as the tee pad is usually in the shade and the field is in the sun/light. So as soon as the disc is released it goes in the light and exposing the shot gets really tricky. Dosn´t really matter how much zoom we use. But this bugs me every time I edit for sure. /Jonathan
