Stokely is one of those heroes of the old game who has dedicated himself to teaching. I am super grateful for it.
And people still try to argue with him.
So true. I’m so thankful for finding him recently
Scott’s teaching videos on CZcams have helped my game advance immensely over that last year and I’m beyond grateful as well! Thx chief your videos are golden
I remember seeing Scott throwing 600+ in the 90’s. That would be like going 800-900 regularly on today’s tour. I’m so glad he found his space. We all need to support him on Patreon.
@@NVR2L8TX totally, he was just as good as the players today but with wayyy less discovery, science, technology, etc. available. fucking respect this man
Awesome video!
Thanks! What you’ve been able to do on the golf course is awesome. So impressive. I’m enjoying watching the story unfold!
@Yousef Junior sir, this is a Wendy’s
@Yousef Junior Couldn't be more right! lol
@Yousef Junior You're right, no one gives a shit.
4:02 When I throw a 600 foot throw it only goes 250 feet.
Me_irl
250-275 feet is my average max distance in Disc Golf right now.
I can throw a 375 foot forehand but my backhand goes maybe 200. I can not figure it out no matter what I do.
Haha same. I just can't seem to figure out how to throw further than that 250ish range. Though I'm still just doing kind of stand still throw as i've only played like 15-20 hours.
@@cjsmith4424 Do a cross step. Watch Scott's footing
I like your way of instruction. No "um"s, no misspoken words, ect. The way you take your time speaking and get across the message you want is excellent.
As soon as you said correlation does not equal causation, I knew I was gonna learn from this video.
Simple NOT easy! The game explained in 3 words! Thank you Scott!!!!
LIFE explained in 3 words! :D
As a newer golfer in my mid 50s, and after hurting my arm 3 times already, this whip crack analogy has been a huge AHA! moment for me. Thank you, Scott! Be well.
Scott Stokely is clearly one of the best disc golf instructors out there. I have felt the elusive snap only a few times and have always been eager to figure it out. Now I think a have a major clue. Thank you.
I think it's easier to learn standing still. Just take many discs out on an open field and aim for a target far away. I am now throwing almost as far standing still as when taking steps. And my aim is alot better.
I want to spray blood when I throw!
Mcbeth has the best snap it's a joy to witness in person. His form looks like he's casually tossing and the disc ROCKETS out of his hand at 65-70 mph. you did an excellent job describing it!!
*laughs in drew gibson*
Paul's snap is absolutely elite, make no mistake. But pop guns Drew Gibson is the king of snap.... and missing c1/c2 putts 😂😂😂
@@chrisbruchak4519 I played with drew in the shelly sharpe last year. It's definitely the loudest
Ole shoe strings has some serious snap as well!
I say a prayer before each game to generate 'Holy Snap!'
I watched this last night, hit the course today and this added 100ft to my drive instantaneously, serious breakthrough moment.
Yooo! Just randomly watched this video and saw this comment! Gunna head to the field soon too lol
@@evangold4720 you and I both, friend.
I watched this and went right out to the field and I swear I was throwing some of the better shots I ever have. Not only did I feel like I was getting the snap but I was getting the nose down on drives and I was throwing putters like I never have-- dead straight with no wobble. Thanks a lot Scott, you are a gift to the game.
I cant say enough about Scott's teaching style. Straight forward, to the point, no BS. I love it!! Thanks so much.
As a new player trying to improve these videos have been priceless. Thank you, Scott.
Scott Stokely, you are a Master Teacher. I say that with utmost respect. I am an educator, and have been for 26 years. I’ve been a mentor for new teachers. I’ve served on state curriculum and standard boards. I have a doctorate in my discipline. I know a GREAT teacher when I see one. I have had “teachers” who could do it, and do it incredibly well, but could not teach it incredibly well. You teach in accordance with my philosophy in that at least 9 out of 10 people can understand your concepts. I’ve been playing since ‘76 and have not had the advantage of the Internet and CZcams like the new generation of players today. You are a godsend to my game. I’ve watched dozens of others-who produce good lessons-here are CZcams explaining various aspects of technique. I want to tell everyone to just subscribe and watch Scott Stokely, you need no other tutorial lessons. Bravo, Scott!
I remember meeting Scott for the first time possibly in '97 or '98 at the triple crown series in Florida that kicked off in Gainesville. A couple of buddies and I drove down from Toronto and it was the first time I played 'pro' We met Scott in our practice round and he was a super chilled guy who took the time to chat. That tournament was cut short a day because of a hurricane and then we played in Orlando at Barnett in knee high water on some holes.
The next time I saw him was at the '99 worlds in Rochester (where Russell ended Climo's run of 9 straight titles) I was sitting on the first tee right behind Scott and I'll always remember the sound and the impact on the ground when he bombed his magnet 325 ft on a slightly uphill hole. It may not sound like a big throw now but it was then. Watching him play in Michigan where he would throw unorthodox shots was a treat as well (throwing a downhill roller in the woods when he could have probably just parked it with a putter) He definitely was a unique player who seemed to like to play to the crowd a bit. Sorry about the long post but it brought back a lot of memories of what was a very cool time for me in disc golf and that Florida trip was epic.
You have a way of explaining things that make sense and instill confidence. Thanks Scott!
This is gold, thank you Scott. Love watching you on old tour videos
'Golf is deceptively simple and endlessly complicated, it satisfies the soul and frustrates the intellect. It is at the same time rewarding and maddening, and it is without a doubt the greatest game mankind has ever invented' *Arnold Palmer*
scotts the best teacher love his demeanor. thanks man
Great teaching Scott. I really appreciate your simplicity in explaining mechanics.
The whip analogy really helped me a ton with my drives. Thanks!
Great stuff. Scott has the rare gift to teach things the way it immediately makes sense. I will never get enough of his videos and I have been reading and watching his published stuff now for 15 years.
Unreal how clearly you explain many different ways of approaching disc golf. Quality work, I'll be watchin many more.
Been watching my dad play since I was a lad, I’m 19 and have officially been playing on my own for two weeks. No one had explained this phenomenon better than you, thanks Scott!
Best example I've seen so far. Seriously helped my game
I actually did it once for the first time last week. It wasn't terribly accurate, but God if flew beautifully and felt good. One of those shots that keeps you coming back for more.
Every vid I watch from you improves my game. You have a way of explaining the mechanics of discgolf is such a way that just clicks for me. Thanks so much for your work in making these!
Man, thank you for this video! I've been trying to figure out why sometimes I get the ripping sensation off my fingertips and sometimes I don't. I thought maybe it was because I wasn't pulling fast enough and when I try to pull faster with my arm and shoulder I end up releasing late. But this explains so much. Great stuff!
I needed to see this. Very interesting. I believe it’s what I’ve been missing. What a great vid. Thanks
Hands down the best teacher. Solely by how simple you break things down. Cut and dry straight to the point. Just overall simply explained. Love the way you define the fine line between what the mechanics actually are and what feels natural. You break the two down into separate parts and you show how the two should work together once put together.
Stoke, you are a freaking legend bro. Would love to see some of the old school90s guys go at it with the young stars of today, in a skins game.
Newbies would destroy the old heads imo. The game is changing fast.
This may be the best video I've seen on how to fix my crappy form. Now that I think about it, I'm 99.999% sure I've been starting to rotate before my foot hits the ground and that's why after 22+ years of disc golfing I can still only throw about 325 on my best throw.
I can’t wait to try this out tomorrow! Scott, you’re the man OG 💯
You’re a great instructor Scott. That video you did with blue hair years ago is the reason I ever dared to throw a forehand in rounds because you broke it down in a stepwise manner that really works.
Just found this video. The way you explained that and broke down the analogy of the whip & then explained how it works with us as the whip was great. Need to watch more of your videos now.
Disc golf genius! Never heard of the cracking whip from lower body to upper. Thanks man
I can feel the truth in this! Can't wait to hit the course to try it! I somehow just know it will be amazing! :) Thanks!!!
just came back to say this really improved my backhand. im throwing 50 ft further on average now and got my first backhand ace literally the day after watching this video. Thanks Scott!
You are so right, Scott. The first time I felt the snap off my finger tips, the whole game became so much more interesting to me. I was hooked from that point!
Holy crap. This makes so much sense. Thank you, Scott!
Great video man. Letting people know they need to have their plant foot down before even pulling anything else is some of the best advice I tell anybody starting out. Do not pull with your upper body until you feel “grounded”
This was a great topic to cover. Thnks for the vid.
Easy to follow, great pace and teaching personality. Thank you. Same Scott from the 1993 championship tournament on YT, too, right? Cool.
Thank you for this snap lesson🙌
Thanks! This video really helped me realize one mistake I was making. Until this day I was having trouble reaching the basket with my drive on 200 feet holes, especially uphill holes. Sometimes I could throw in the middle of the fairway, but only 100-140 feet from the tee. If I tried to use more power I would hit the early trees. However, I watched this video yesterday and today I got the chance to try it out. I tried to focus on moving my hip before anything else (I still throw stand still shots, I decided it’s better for me as a beginner not to move my feet yet), and that was a major improvement. Now I’m throwing straight and I actually need to do a shorter reachback or use some other technique not to overthrow past the basket.
I needed this, thank you. I had a bad Sunday last week were I was "grip locking" some very dramatically. That is what I was looking to solve when I watched this video. I played yesterday with two things in mind, a full reach back and making no movement forward until my foot hit the ground. I drove more consistently. Keeping this in mind from here on out.
Wow! After watching dozens of videos on how to throw far, I finally found the one that makes it simple. Thanks Scott!
Thank you Scott Stokely! all your videos are amazing and super helpful.
Wow...that makes so much sense! Thanks for the simple but direct instruction!
Can’t wait to use this on the course!!
This was awesome ... been at it a year and this made so much sense
This makes so much sense! Thank you for your wisdom, sir!
Appreciate the Blue Power discs we bought from you.
Thank you Scott
Thanks for this info! i've been struggling with having consistent snaps and i know its due to poor planting and pulling through technique!
Good shit, Scott 👍
THis was great!!! Plant foot, get snappy. Thanks bro!
never hurt to rewatch this!
Wow another useful and tremendous video. You’ve quickly become one of my favorite DG teachers. I didn’t try forehand until watching your old school forehand clinic.
As a recreational player still learning how to throw, and hasn't yet mastered the cross-step, I really appreciate this lesson, and I think it's the clearest and best explained video I've seen on this topic to date. Thank you!
Good luck on the quest, favorite disc yet?
@@joeyquiver5896 Aviar. Great putter and training tool. 🙂
@@NickCarroll excellent choice! Couldn't have recommended a better disc for the purpose.
(Here is to staying on par in 20 minutes LOL, about to head out)
@@joeyquiver5896 😎
Look up latitude 64 that’s where I learned my back hand I’m not by any means a great player but watching John and Ekstrom gained me around 100ft
Your best tip video to date! And that's saying alot..thanks man keep em coming!
Thank you so much your instruction videos are simply brilliant.
This is a great channel, thanks Scott
Hi Scott, I think I experienced this today for the first time. I'm very new to DG, been throwing for 2 weeks with my Bro-In-Law (im a lefty throwing mainly forehand) and we give feedback on each other's throwing. He mentioned i wasn't looking like I got enough spin on the disc, so the next throw i "ripped it" and boy did it come out so sweet, it flew much further just, just flipped over too soon and went OB, first time throwing that disc... i automatically self labelled it as "ripping it" but I think its the same as ur "snap". Ill need to go look at ur forehand snap video and also try ur pendulum and windmill techniques... thanks for the great videos.
Started playing disc golf in 1985 but after 20 years I took a 14 year break due to frequent travel for work. After retiring almost 2 years ago I dusted off the discs and started again and noticed I lost a lot of drive distance (I am now 67 years old). I have tried many things including a massive study and experimentation of discs speeds/weights to find the perfect sweet spot disc plus basic fixes always keeping snap in mind but this one video may have filled in the missing info I needed...planting the foot before anything else moves forward. Most of my fixes only resulted in incremental improvement. To date I was concentrating on creating spin through the wrist on release, obviously not the best way so I will try out your advice right away.
Tried today and instantly added 20-25 feet to my drives. I also found that by focusing on the proper action sequence I was slowing down my throw which helped also. Good advice!
Really appreciate your level of explanation.
Thanks so much for the video! Made me realize that i have been starting to open my hips before my foot is planted. Cant wait to work on this one.
Ice Dad here. This is another great video!! You are right, is is simple, but it is hard. I have been working on planting my foot for the last month and my backhand has gone from just over 200ft to over 300. Keep up the great work 👍👊
Hi mr stokley i have been playing for about to years afyer watching this video i went to my back uard amd attempted to recreate everything you talk about after the third time i got that snap feeling of the disk leaving my hand it was the best throw ever i normally average about 270 and i would say that throw went easily an extra 100 feet im exxcited about going to my local course and practice this over and over thanks alot for the videos
Love the style of being less scripted. It feels more natural, and genuine vs a lot of these highly edited youtube videos. TY!
Your videos are amazing. The way you teach things is super easy for me to understand and apply to myself. Thank you for doing what you do :)
I found you from your collaboration with the Disc Golf Kid, by the way.
Damn good video brother. Thanks Scott we appreciate the knowledge you are sharing.
Just found these videos and this is explained in a way I think I may finally be able to work on learning it. I have never snapped a disc.
Simplest explanation about generating power I have seen. Thank you.
Awesome, Scott. Thank you!
Wow thank you so much Mr. Stokely. For years I’ve been throwing forehand if I was looking for my max distance.. I just went out to a local school and launched a bunch of backhands 400 - 450 feet with ease. You are AWESOME
Been playing since 78 and I am always learning how to throw. Thanks Scott 😎
Thanks for all you share in the name of the game!
This video sums up the technique of Frispeegolf brilliantly!
Good stuff, Scott. Thanks.
Great clinic! Tnx!
Send it Scott! You and disc golf will blow up on CZcams
Very helpful, I have been at this for 20 years. This was the best explained video on how to snap. I have been able to snap before, but duplicating it is much harder. ( practice, practice ,practice)Thanks Scott...
Outstanding video. So many coaches/teachers over-complicate their instructions. Simple not easy.
Thank you for the knowledge💯
awesome tips, thanks!
Brilliant! Love the logo intro!
You are a great teacher!..for real bro! Thank you!
Incredible vid!
Went down the youtube rabbit hole at 1 : 30 A.M for disc golf tips. This man is nothing but a wizard!!!! A wizard who for the first half of the video seemingly spoke in riddles but yet.....as the video progressed.....I got it,or at least I think I do. I will find out tomorrow morning when I play a quick 9 before work. If my drive does not improve.....I shall return and continue watching this video over and over until its pounded in my head. The single best dg tip video iv watched to date. I only THOUGHT id watched them all and came across this gem.
You sir are a true master.......its like when Booger became humbled by Snotty the loogie master in Revenge of the Nerds II. I am your pupil....willing to learn and eager to be humbled. I look forward to watching more of your videos. Until next time.....thank you sir.
Sincerely,
One of your many undeserving pupils who's hopelessly addicted to the craft we all have come to love,known as Disc Golf. Peace be with you sir and may good fortune shine its light upon you every day.
This is my new favorite disc golf video.
cool tips man I always love the feeling of a good throw it reminds me of a really good hit playing baseball! I think your totally right about the 100th of a sec thing too
The first time I tried this, my discs went a lot farther! But I'm 53 years old, and it worked so well that I actually pulled a muscle in my gut. Great job explaining the whip idea. I love how simple it is because you really only have to focus on one thing. Thank you!
Holy crap this was explained really well. Thanks bro!
I knew watching this would give me one key point I was missing. Thanks, can’t wait to try it out next time in the field!
It works. Thanks bro, you've got my attention.
This is an awesome video, thanks a ton.
This was a damn good video! Much appreciated.
Learned so much from your videos! Us new players thank you!
