- Hey!
So I, a disc golf beginner, threw 100 discs (Rivers) to see what would happen. Then Tomas Ekström tought me how to throw. Then I threw 100 discs again. See what happened in the video :).

Can't say I ever do what I'm told!
Like "starting a lawn mower" was the best explaination of reachback and pull I've ever heard.
Now I gotta go try it!
Been using this to teach new friends for about 12 years now. But yeah, this video is VERY good at explaining the entire motion, using your body, not your arms for power.
i got that when i started, extremely effective
Incorporate that into a waling start for those drives an youll be set
That’s how I was properly taught. Dude said “it’s like starting a lawn mower and slapping a midget”
As a total noob. This is pure gold!
Will definitely help me Thanks
I second that brotha! And I have a tourney I just signed up for in a couple weeks! I did 12 holes today at Stevens Creek County Park (Villa Maria) and it was a pretty nice course but what does this Noob know about courses. Great video for sure!

I ordered some discs, never watched a video. Threw them for 30 minutes, none went past 30 yards. Today is a new day! lol
@@scubaman2003 I think thats how most of us start out. The first few times playing are gonna be rough. Most first timers throw the disc way too high in the air, causing it to break way left and crash to the ground. I've been there and honestly I still have the occasional throw where the disc comes our of my hand early and it gets too much air. Can't get any distance when this happens. It'll get better though and it'll feel good once you get those first couple flat throws that cut through the air and hover at just the right height.
The video helped this 63 year old beginner a LOT. I was getting really frustrated at lack of distance I was getting with my throws. Before viewing this I didn't realize how far off I was in my understanding and execution of some very basic fundamentals. Love the entire series.
Tomas: "Remember what I said about you?"
Jonathan: *Stares at camera* "I don't have any powers."
😂😂😂 You guys are awesome! Thank you for these!
I tried some of these tips at my local 9 hole today, and had amazing results. Keep up the great work with these videos guys!
Thats great!!! /Jonathan
"The whatever grip" Love it! Fantastic video. Thanks Tomas.
I’ve been playing for a couple years but never had success at improving consistency of grip and throw. This helped more than anything else I’ve seen or was told
Yes and alo Danny
That ending music was ICING on the cake of this tasty video. Thank you!
Haha took for ever to find that song. Do like it tho 😀. Glad you enjoyed the video. /jonathan
That’s the best shot I have ever seen...
Ever?
From you!
Oh, okay .
:D
😂
Back into disc golf after about a 20-year hiatus. These video are the best I’ve found. Informative, practical, applicable, and damned funny, too! Thanks so very much!
I love yalls videos because you guys slow things down so much and explain in detail but also just move through the motions slower. Tomas actually takes his time and does soft throws to explain and show us. As a new player these videos are so beneficial. All these other pro players doing tutorials whip the disc so fast I can't follow there movements good enough to actually learn.
Previously, I also used the "whatever" grip. Today, I used the grips and stances in your video for the first time. After few practice holes, teeing off and mid-range shots were comfortable; putting still needs work.
Thank you for this video.It helps a lot as I am just starting out.
I LOVE that advice about trying to hit something with my elbow!! That helps a ton!
This was excellent. Good filmmaking. Patient coaching. Chill classical soundtrack. What's not to like
I went by myself today to practice since I've only just learned myself that I need to drag it across my chest. And I threw it much farther I was feeling really accomplished! I had a lot of privacy except for one point, I was surrounded by two groups of people to my left and right. I felt like everyone was watching me as I went to throw my two discs. One disc went sharp right and the other sharp left -_- It was so embarrassing. They were beyond bad shots and I was like WHY because I've been shooting accurately all day! I have such terrible stage fright. Tis a curse.
Hey. You can just start to think. Well that wasn´t as bad as Jonathan does it, haha :).
It’s just nerves. You should practice in front of people too. That should help.
I'm a guy over forty, and a total noob. I find it kind of endearing that kids way smaller than me are throwing so incredibly well, and some of the other adults are as poor as me.
😂 I can relate!!
I am always the first person at my local course on Sunday mornings , for the very same reason
This man just taught me how to throw a disc AND why I could never get a lawnmower started in the same video. XD
I’m glad to have found this video. I’m new to the sport and this helped a lot.
I have seen other Manufacturer's videos provide similar instruction. The big difference to me is the presentation. The L64 videos are high quality and very entertaining. I'm hooked.
Hey, Mike. Thank you thats very nice of you. /Jonathan
Looking forward to more of this type of content
This was super helpful. I'm a beginner and am just getting into this wonderful sport at 33. I can't stop watching coverage and learning how to get better now haha. Will for sure be picking up a few Latitude discs! The lawn mower analogy really clicked things into place for me with the throw!
What lawnmower analogy??
@@88winsttime to rewatch the video
To me this video has noticeably better production value and the editing was great. Very nice to see Lat64 up their media game. I have made several changes this year and proper grip was one of the biggest things that helped. I think a video series with Tomas and Jonathan going over different shot types such as anhyzer, forehand ect would be great!
Thank you for your feedback. Yeah grip is apparently important, haha :) /Jonathan
Mindblown!!!
I got better throws at the first try after watching this ❤
REALLY great video. Love the concept of watching a brand new player of the game slowly refine their throwing techniques with pro disc golfers assisting like this. I can foresee in the future episodes dialing in back hand more then moving to various shot angles, hyzer anhyzer shots. Putting. Forehands all the way to scramble shots like grenades and thumbers etc. Maybe some episodes on disk selection and disc stabilities. Keep in up. Subscribed.
The cues that Tomas gives are fantastic. Also the enjoyment of learning in this video series makes me come back for more and more! You all are the best.
Thank you. I'm glad you like it :) /Jonathan
NIce to see how slight changes make the difference! Good explanation.
As a noob I watched this video 4 months ago and again today. (along with all of Latitude 64 videos and every other video associated with disc Golf). I have to say, Jonathan , Tomas and Johannes are the best instructors I've seen and by far the funniest. It's a joy to watch. BTW Jonathan I hit 300 feet today with my Saint, it was like a home run. You should have seen me doing the happy dance you would have been proud. Thanks again, maybe I'll catch up with you on a course someday.
Really good video, the lawnmower and elbow explanation really helped me!
Wonderful content! That practice range looks beautiful!
7:39 lol
Definitely sharing this video, the information that Tomas was explained was easy to understand and follow. Great video Series and looking forward to seeing what's next.
Awesome setup for the video. Having a beginner do what is taught, is very helpful and relatable.
Thank you. Haha yeah I was a bit nervous doing the end part. Relieved that the change was quite apparent.
Some amazing teaching techniques and key words and ideas to help you understand how to throw better, can't wait to get out and throw! Thank you!
It's really an art of ballet.
Awesome way showing us this. Thank you! 🐾
I have autism and Ive been getting into disc golfing this video is very very awesome. much love to you friend you're doing so great! A brilliant expirement also
My heart smiled when I heard Chopin. You two are so fun and informative to watch. Thank you for the excellent content.
Glad you enjoy the videos. Have a great day! /Jonathan
Thanks for this. We are learning to play and instruction like this helps guide us.
Played a 9-hole (27 par) course today using everything I've learned so far and shot 28!
I have never came that close to shooting par. I still have a lot work, but DAMN, 28! Thank you, thank you, thank you.
That´s great man!! /Jonathan
Omg! Thank you. I frolf every weekend and I have been having trouble with my throws. Finally I've got it right. thanks again :)
This series is fantastic and takes some guts on Jonathan's part. Really great content.
best tips ive found on yt for beginners learning to throw properly
This is awesome! I've recently wanted to get back into disc golf I even dug up all my old discs. I used to go with my friends about 20 years ago and want to learn the right way to do it now.
I throw further with a stable driver after this than with an understable one before. Tbh I couldn't get a stable disc straight before at all. Amazing info, love latitude discs.
I laughed all the way through. Thank you for being informative as well as entertaining. I haven't thrown yet, but will be playing next week for the first time!
Thank you and good luck :) /Jonathan
The elbow hit made me see it better…thanks for the advice!
My favorite disc golf videos. Somthing to inspire too! Thanks guys
Thats great. Glad you like it :) /Jonathan
T: Nice!
J: That felt better.
T: Thats' the best shot I've ever seen...
J: Ever!?
T: ...from you
J: Oh, okay... (and the look on Jonathans face going from 100 to 10 xD )
This moment had me in tears :D
Keep up the great videos and thank you for the tips and tricks.
Still very new to Disc Golf and this video helped me a lot.
I LOVED the clear before and after view. So good. Earned a subscriber.
Hey, Christian. I´m glad you liked it. And welcome. Let me know if there something you´d like to see on the channel :) /Jonathan
Solid video. Going to play Saturday for the first time and this video has most definitely been the most informative. I'm going to make 100 throws tomorrow before we go play this weekend and will be referencing this video most often. Nice work!
Best explanation on how to move body and arm I’ve seen on CZcams, I’m new to the sport, Subscribed keep stuff coming
Welcome. Nice to have you here :)
Great job with the video guys! Nice to see a hall of famer in there! More more more, please!
7:39 that was the best tutorial i haver i have evere seeeen
Two of these videos have really helped me out. I have 2 friends who have been playing for years and I feel like I needed some tips to catch up to them. I've only ever played learning on my own and using Any disc's.
I have watched this video a few times, but never tried Tomas' grip method. Today I did. Pinched my pinkie and thumb together, put the disc in between, curled in my fingers and threw. Amazing....they were the best throws ever. Thank you!
I will be implementing these techniques this weekend with my latitude disc. Great vids.
I guess one year later you must not be a beginner anymore! Thanks for this video it's so helpful for someone starting out like me
Haha I would say I´m a beginner+ by now :). Glad you like the videos. Have a great day and weekend! /Jonathan
This is really solid tips, i really liked the "hit with your armbow" explanation!
Thank you for your advice!
The tip from Tomas at 6:16 is something that I struggled with for a long time - I was trying to "pull" with my whole arm from the reach back which resulted in rounding a lot of my shots, but once I started to throw with just my shoulder/elbow, I began pulling much more straight and had better results.
Very helpful, especially the "lawnmower rope pull" analogy.
Just getting into the sport with my girl. Thanks for the knowledge. This will hopefully give us some additional confidence as the course we play gets pretty crowded.
what a difference! good job mate! i need to throw like that now
I can tell by just going through these motions my game will improve. Thanks guys!
0:40 This Kind Of Swed-Lish sounds so funny. "Geit My Ouwn Diesc"
hahahhaah yes!!
@@gitarrnerd All scandinavian countries have their own english, just look at the finnish wrc rascers, the norwegians too! Very funny!
Its not the fart that kills you, its the smell. :-) :-) ts not the speed that kills you, but the crash, unforgettable!
And hearing him say “feets” as well. LoL
It’s just harmless fun that I’m poking at, don’t mean to be insulting, it just sounds cute. As a lifelong student of foreign language myself, I’m well aware that people who can speak multiple languages effectively are impressive individuals.
One word... Wow. Only played twice and now realize I've been doing everything wrong. Amazing video. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Amazing video. So clearly explained. Thank you for sharing this. I've thrown around a bit in the yard but cannot wait to try it out on the course this weekend.
I'm glad you liked the video, Ray. Let me know if it helped :) /jonathan
pretty cool to see the difference. That advice changes quite a bit though, depending on experience & perspective. The 'start a lawnmower' can be misleading or right on point. Good video though - always cool to see instruction and new people doing it.
Excellent video! Thank you
Awesome video. I just started in 2017. I was taught the lawnmower technique, which was awesome because I was and still am a firefighter. At the time my station had a hard to start k 12 saw. So the pull cord teaching reference just hit home with me. Thabks for the vid!
Thank you. And yeah it feels like it´s good to get those comparasons to some more familiar movements in the beginning :) /Jonathan
Thank you for you service as a first responder!
@@buzzzthrower555 appreciate the support
I started playing about 2 years ago. I could only throw Sidearm in the "Grip it, rip it and pray" style. That approach caused me to tear my rotator cuff 6 months in. Its taken me a year and a half to recover, I thought I'd never play again until I came across your video with Mr. Ekström.
After watching this video several times I started to think maybe I can do this, Because of you and Mr. Ekström I have started playing again. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making these great videos. I am and will forever be in you and Mr. Ekström debt.
Thank you so much for all the kind words, Shane. Have a great day! /jonathan
having played for about a year now and the best part about this is seeing the results, just did some throws after a round at my local course today to practice my drives and got one out 122m (400) with an opto ballista and got my Halo Tern out 116m (380)... Starting to feel like I'm getting good distance, now I just wanna keep working on my form to get more consistency and better accuracy... Focus now is really just to slow things down, used to be I tried having a fast run-up in order to keep that momentum going through the throw, problem was I ended up struggling with controlling my release angles etc. Now I'm trying to just have a slow run up really focusing on getting my reach back and then just exploding through which ultimately has led to better angles and more distance on average. Feel like I can consistently get out past 100m on my drives now which feels great...
Please make a playlist for these beginner videos, and keep up the good work! 👏
thats a good idea. thank you for the feedback. /jonathan
Fantastic video! Very helpful.
Great video! Really convincing and give new players a lot of hope! A lot of disc golf instruction is just talk but you don’t get to see the results. This was different. Thank you!
I'm glad you like the video, George :) /Jonathan
Awesome video and tips! Thanks!
Can't wat to throw after this vid! Thank you!
I got my first set of disks for Christmas this year, did my first 18 holes yesterday and love this sport! This was a great video and I cant wait to go out and apply what Tomas explains here. Thank you!
I´m glad you liked the video and the sport over all :) /Jonathan
Why do I torture my self watching these videos in the winter
You’re scared of winter? Pitty.
You could move to a better climate. Then you could play in the winter. Today is 1/28 and it's going to be 78 outside my home today. 😁
You can play in the winter, just put a string on the disc so you can find it in the snow.👍
Thank you! Great presentation!
Thank you, Hélène. Have a nice day :) /Jonathan
Thank you guys so much for these videos I'm new to the sport and help me a lot
Sure thing, Jesse. /Jonathan
Very good explanations here! I'm soon hitting a course, lets see if I can put any of this into practice.
awesome video, realized my stance was all messed up, going to try these tips 😁😁
The "lawn mower pull" was key for me, a first-time player. Excellent stuff, guys.
4:21 "You have to bend your knees" **CRACK**
This was really useful! He's a good teacher and this is a nice format.
Just started this sport, thanks!
I'd love to see more videos like this.
Glad you like it! And there will be :) /Jonathan
Seeing him trying and failing at theowing the first couple times is reassuring to see. It shows the viewers, myself included, that trying and failing is just part of the process of succeeding and helps you improve faster.
Love all this info. Just went disc golfing today for the first time and I got the power but no coordination. Lol. This will help. Thanks.
Plus I love that you explain in English so my friends can understand.
Thanks for this! Just great.
I think this will help my game... Gonna work at these tips this Saturday
Great video! Keep up this kind of content.
Very nice! Great tips for a new player.
Very cool. I just picked up an explorer and ballista pro from watching Emerson Keith I had to have them lol. They are sweet.
This is fantastic loving the content and I feel like it's really helping me learn the sport just went out and bought two new discs because I have just been using the basic 3 set and am looking forward to working on my putting and all the other things I need to do to become a decent player! ^^ much love.
Glad you like it ❤
Was really interesting to see the 100 discs before and after. Quite the improvement!
Loved this- I’m goin pro now
Great video, I can't wait to play later.
I’m learning!!! Your videos are the best….. I’m also purchasing some of your disks!!
Glad you like them ❤😀
