      Honestly just the Forehand. It is so satisfying watching throwing a hammer of a forehand but when i try it, it either goes to the left or right... And i woiuld consider myself a decent thrower but the forehand is tuff....
      much love :)

    This is one of the reasons Paige is a world champion. She thinks about her backhand form while in the grocery store. She is thinking disc golf when her competitors are relaxing.

    Big "thank you" to Paige. She corrected issues that clinics, lessons, and other CZcams videos had not addressed. Instead of saying your upper body timing must match your lower body timing, she broke it down and explained to how to make that possible. She deserves a million Christmas cards from disc golfers this year.

      Sometimes it's really helpful to hear from someone like Paige, who has had to figure out how to squeeze every ounce of power from her throw to get similar distance as the men. She's got probably one of the most technically sound backhands on tour because of that.

    Paige is not only a world champion she is clearly a fantastic coach. Kelsey is a delight, and I love how she's such a large part of the channel. Also as a former dancer myself, her body control is going to help her so much as she learns proper form.

    • @haukionkannel
      @haukionkannel Před 3 lety +1

      Definitely! Dance and gymnastic backround make other sports much easier to learn, because They have much better control of their body movement and exspecially the central body.

Very similar to what I used to use when working with our women's ultimate time. Don't lock that front leg/knee, keep some bend/flexibility to help with rotation. Locking always sent discs into the air. :D

    This is actually great advice for people like me. I played baseball my whole life and when hitting the hips rotating starts the motion, so learning that the hips basically need to be last is a major help
