    This video is a lifesaver on the course! I've always had trouble with shifting my body so much on my x step that it looks like I'm facing backwards. I could never figure out why my power seemed excessive physically but it never translated to the output of my shot.
    This did the trick. I had some really great drives with my putter this morning by fighting the head wanting to look backwards. It's like a tight corkscrew effect with the rest of the body following.

  • @discgolfdave
    @discgolfdave Před 2 lety +7

    This whole time I’ve been ‘playing behind me’ to make sure I face away from the target enough and not yank it right. But the head placement you describe instantly feels more athletic.

    Thank you so much. Clearly you put a great amount of time and effort to figuring this stuff out and I love that you're now sharing it with anyone who cares to watch. I've been doing tons of field work this summer and seem to have plateaued in the 380-400 range. Just found your stuff this week and I'm doing my best to incorporate what you're teaching into my throwing. Hopefully I'll be back here with stories of huge throws :D

  • @joshpandh
    @joshpandh Před 8 dny

    I'm starting to think about my head position while throwing. I used to ride BMX and one of key components was to point your head where you want your body to go. Your body naturally want to follow your head position so if your eyes are on the target as much as possible, your body will rotate in that direction. Easier said than done but I have noticed an improvement with my follow through and disc control.

      I’m bad at putting, forehand, rollers, my Anny is starting to improve now that I’m finally working on it but I’m not a good disc golfer. I don’t really play much. If I have spare time I’m at the field learning new backhand form techniques. I’m just here to help people who may need backhand advice.

  • @BruceSimmons
    @BruceSimmons Před 2 lety +1

    This makes me laugh... (NOT at you). When I was beginning and all I took away from videos was the reach back... so I'd draw a line from the target to something behind me to reach back to... So I had an aiming point directly behind me to reach back for. LOL... It didn't necessarily fail, per se, but it wasn't helping. Like driving a car... always look where you're going... forward!!!! Thanks for your hard work putting this content together.

  • @smileyboy2700
    @smileyboy2700 Před 2 lety

    When you come to the middle, are you trying to look forward or are your eyes looking at the ground? Please advise.

    • @slingshotdiscgolf1897
      @slingshotdiscgolf1897  Před 2 lety +1

      Look at the target and then your body rotates back moving your head to a spot where you should be looking at the ground. You should try to stay looking at the ground until your follow through brings you up. I fail to do this in my own form because I’m excited to see where the disc goes. Definitely copy Gibson’s head placement. It’s perfect. I will say that head placement is different on shorter shots. I may look at the target sooner. It’s all situational.

      Hey. I tried both ways today at the field and saw better results when trying to look towards your target with your eyes and letting your shoulder turn your head 90 degrees instead of looking at the ground. I felt better angle control and better accuracy so I'm not sure what should be done here exactly. I want more distance because currently I'm maxing out at 438 ft. Looking at the ground reduced it a bit down to 398 ft because it didn't feel right. Like I couldn't get more spin (power?) behind my throw.
      Please advise and let me know what do you think about this.

      @@smileyboy2700 do what works! Sounds like you figured out your head placement. It’s going to be different for everyone. The thing that matters is not looking behind you. That’s when things become problematic. 438 is a long ways. Nice work!

    I agree with a lot of what you are saying, but there is a difference between turning the head on axis, vs lifting the head off axis or standing up/early extension.

      I appreciate your passion for the backhand throw. I can tell you take it as seriously as me. The important fact here is don’t look behind you whatsoever. At that point you are no longer in a position to time the slingshot correctly.
