  • Confession time: My name is Robbie Crawford...and I want to throw far. I know I'm not alone in this confession, because at the end of the day if given the choice to throw further few people would say no. Yet when it comes to what it takes to actually start throwing farther few of us are willing to put in the work required to reach that goal.
    I wanted to do a distance series that addresses some of the common hangups I've run into when it comes to reaching max distance, as well as create a pact with each of you who is willing. I'm not promising that you'll be throwing 400 feet by the end of this series, but I do believe we can look at some things that are keeping us from throwing our maximum distance. We're going to highlight these issues, and start down the road towards fixing them one throw at a time. Our third issue is all about the secret sauce that brings all of our form issues and successes together. What's the issue? You'll have to watch to find out!!
    Have you heard of the Birdie Fam? It's a community of disc golfers who are striving to excel and improve together. We are going to talk about your struggles and plateaus in a safe and healthy environment. When we come together as a family, we'll grow together as people.

    I have fallen in love with so many Axiom discs. I recommend trying most of them. I thought nothing would replace my Buzzzes for a straight mid, but the Hex did just that.

    • @Unit_With_Legs
      @Unit_With_Legs Před 2 lety

      Im interested. I used to throw rocs because that's what i was given when i started but I've been a buzz fan for about 7 years, the emac truth was decent. What is so much better about the hex?

    • @jasonchandlee7561
      @jasonchandlee7561 Před 2 lety +2

      The hex is a completely different disc than the emac truth. The truth goes straight amd then fades at the end and I can flex it a little bit and still get the fade. The hex is a fully straight flyer for me when thrown flat but It will hold whatever angle you throw it on. It has become my main Midrange and I use it for approach shots that need to go dead straight

    • @MrCole114
      @MrCole114 Před 2 lety +1

      Definitely recommend the hex. I used to bag a buzzz ss but hex replaced it. Still bag an eMac truth if I need a little more stability but the hex is my go to mid.

  • @nwbpwner12
    @nwbpwner12 Před 2 lety +11

    I love the MVP Inertia as an understable fairway driver. It's an absolute BOMBER for being a 9 speed and actually does have a reliable fade at the end. It was out of stock for like 18 months but they started making a ton of them this year and i couldn't be happier
    Also the new discmania originals FD is maybe a perfect disk. Last two - Kastaplast Svea is a very fun, super glidy understable mid and for me the MVP volt is just about the perfect forehand disc (and complements the Firebird)

    As you are throwing a mixed bag, are you going to do another build a bag series? I absolutely loved that series and the thought process behind which discs you picked. Going for workable as the main deciding factor is why I switched from teebirds to eagles. Keep up the good work!

    @cdpcube Před 2 lety +5

    Hi robbie, i do have a suggestion. Im currently tinkering with my form (as we all are). For context, On a normal day i can get a buzzz confidently 320 and a zues if need be about 360. Ive had a couple light bulb fieldwork days that have gotten me a few drives out to about 450-475. (That distance has only happened 3 times in one none windy field day. Its a flickering lightbuld that im ever searching for again.) The light buld first happened with the scott stokely video How to throw flat backhand at ~10 min. He talks about this crazy anhyser roller drill that basicaly forces the arm to snap. When i took that to the field i noticed two things. #1 Yes there was an alien amount of spin and force that was put on the disc. #2 The disc felt incredibly heavy like the disc was trying to pivot hard around my fingers.
    I noticed in normal rounds after that, that my normal throw is, just as you described, way too fast at the start and my hand cant hold on. the disc loses speed and spin.
    Since then ive been attempting to recreate that heavy sensation and retrain the muscle memory by starting at the tip of the whip and working backwards.
    Basically i start standstill with my arm straight with a power grip, disc nose down and with little backwards movement. try to hold onto the disc as long as possible before it inevitably rips out of my hand. (cuation: at slow speeds this hurts like a mother) If you try it you will undertsand. But you will feel that exponentialy increase in heavyness. Then it is just a matter of slowly incorporating elbow until you can fully bend that elbow and still feel the heavy sensation and then woking in the shoulder turn and on dow the chain.
    It essentially boils down to, you want to figure out how to keep the disc in your hand as long as possible. Ever notice how a grip lock goes further than your regular shots?
    Ive since seen a steady increase in my power and accuracy becuase it changes my entire form. At the moment i can now throw a buzzz on 360 ft holes and the zues relatively accurate to about 410.
    If any one actually reads this mountain of text, Nice to meet ya and how do you do. Also if this piques your interest and have questions. Please dont hesitate to ask.

    • @theemonegro
      @theemonegro Před 2 lety

      if the disc feels heavy in your hand you need to tighten your grip. Scott stokely talks about lag creating snap so you can go fast at the start but as your crossing your x step you need to figure out how to keep your bottom half going fast while lagging your arm and shoulders. Also stokely talks about in order to get big distance he goes faster than normal and adds a hop in his x step. So if you try throwing like him you'll fail. Grip lock is called grip lock for a reason. You're planting towards the basket. Simon on his 1100ft throw he releases the disc at 10 o clock not grip lock. There's a lot of stuff your trying to teach a coach but Robbie c has an actual coach. Not a CZcams comment coach with internet distance. Grip locking doesn't add 125ft.

    • @theemonegro
      @theemonegro Před 2 lety

      And if your throwing a distance driver only 50ft farther than a mid range you 1 can't throw a buzzz 360 because that requires an arm speed of 60mph and low and behold that's how much speed it takes to make a zeus go 600

    • @cdpcube
      @cdpcube Před 2 lety

      @@theemonegro did you watch the part of the video I suggested? Robbie mentioned how there isn't much in the form of coaching and regularly asks for tips to be placed in the comments. I agree the 10 o'clock part is a key part of the distance and it is what I try to mimic as well. I was merely mentioning my experience in initially identifying that snap as until you feel it once, you dont know what to look for. I said I'm still working through it and can now comfortably throw a buzzz 360. I have a range finder That says so. I think the zues is more a matter of having trouble holding onto the wider rim and losing nose angle integrity for now but it only gets me about 50 extra feet for now.
      I did not mean to offend you. And by him liking my comment I'll assume I didn't offend him either.

    I coached gymnastics for 16 years and that sport has been around for literally thousands of years. Yet the way we understand form, technique, and how the body moves changes and improves almost every year. New ideas and new techniques lead to better, safer, and more powerful skills and even new skills never before seen being performed at nearly every Olympics. Disc golf is an extremely young sport and I’m excited to see how form will evolve as the sport matures.

    Robbie how the heck do you know exactly what I need to work on? Timing was exactly what I needed. I was looking at my videos of my form and I was reaching back too early. Went out to the field and that felt way more natural and smooth. Added like 30 feet to my distance! Since you started this whole level up series I’ve gone from struggling to reach 200ft with any disc to throwing putters 200ft with ease and starting to get to 300ft with drivers. Putting is getting there as well. Thank you so much for your clear tips that break things down onto small steps to work on. I hope your channel keeps growing and becomes even more successful!

Just 2 disc that I really feel differently than anything else I've thrown in the same categories. The neutron axiom proxy, and the neutron mvp inertia. They're often overlooked, and if you have the opportunity to try them, even if for only 1 round, I feel like we'd end up seeing them on Robby C's next building a bag series!

    Hey Robbie, love the channel and the series. I feel like it would be really helpful for me to see what you're talking about in action. Like a slow mo with commentary on when to engage the swing thoughts you presented us with.
    I have this issue where my arm straightens out during the time that it should be forming the power pocket. I just absolutely can not prevent that when I throw a regular power shot, and I'd love to have some swing thoughts during my throw to try to guide me to where I need to be. I am hard stuck at about 375 (or 400 when I absolutely rip) but interestingly my throw looks super smooth and casual to people watching me even though I don't feel that way... That's just a long way to say that I think I still have more in the tank if I could only get my timing. My recent attempts at fixing this has completely obliterated my swing and score, so now is as good a time as any to make the big changes I need to make.
    Side note, I wish disc golf coaches were more common, I can't find anyone near me.

  • @NickCarroll
    @NickCarroll Před 2 lety

    Dave Feldberg is a prominent example of the elbow not reaching a 90 degree angle mid-throw. Also the disc doesn't come deep into the power pocket. Some people surmise it's to put less stress on the elbow. I believe there's a law of diminishing returns when it comes to a lot of form elements, but the benefits of each individual thing probably follows a bell curve. Reachback/reachout/extension towards the peak of the backswing is probably optimal at some point, but beyond that point the returns diminish. I think that's why there's a lot of variance. Many pros get a lot of things right, if not perfect, and it's enough for them to throw 500 feet or more, because they've worked on that form for many months or years of fieldwork, training, practice, and rounds.

    Congrats on the new open bag. Would highly recommend disccraft undertaker & the opto Musket by Latitude 64. The Musket is amazingly consistently/straight & great for woods golf, but you gotta break In the Musket before you get that optimal flight. The Undertaker, well it's thrown by almost every top disccraft pro on tour. Missy Gannon had Undertaker as her signature disc but graciously let Ben Callaway have dibs on Undertaker signature series. Paul Mcbeth really jams out on the undertaker & has bragged about its super straight flight characteristics as well. That Undertaker helped me with nice come back 5th place finish at super big "B" tier in February. It's great for touch forehands as well. You can trust it on flip 2 flat shots & great for woods golf.

    It took me a lot of watching videos and then immediately going to the field to work on the tips I got to develop my form and find my correct timing. I would drill the form for hours until it became basically muscle memory, then make small tweaks to improve it. I've been playing for less than a year and have gone from a starting out max distance of anywhere between 200-250 on a good day, to now throwing approximately 350-400+ comfortably. I would describe my timing and throw as very similar to Calvin Heimberg when he comes through with his throw. The way he seems to just let his arm swing through with his lower body pulling his arm is about how I do mine when going for max distance. Other times, I slow things down to gain more control and just focus on my release angle for shorter, more technical shots. All in all, it comes down to (in my opinion anyway) putting in the time and work to find YOUR form. Yes, there are similarities between the pros, but for the most part, you can tell who is throwing by their form. It was a lot of trial and error, working on one thing only to end up scrapping it to start over later on, that led me to finding my form. Great video Robbie 😁🤘

    Definitely recommend all of the new discmania molds. They feel amazing and are great discs

    Hey Robbie! It's certainly a shame to see you leaving innova, but here's a few excellent options I'd love to see you try out! Eclipse 2.0 Reactor is the best mid I have ever thrown, Legacy Rivals are absolute money, and Lucid Sparkle Felons are sweet! Thanks for all you do mate

    I would love to see some impressions with some of Discmania's lineup. I just started expanding my bag beyond Innova and Discraft, and am especially looking for comparisons to other discs. "This fills a similar role/feels like X, with the differences being Y" or how their flights may be similar to other discs you know. I feel like I don't see this kind of comparison very often.
    Whether you do or not, keep on making great content! I haven't watched long, but have loved what I've seen so far!

  • @snapson8113
    @snapson8113 Před 2 lety

    Hey Robbie! At some point, could you make a video about how wind affects the flight of discs? Like what does a headwind do vs a tailwind with different discs, and maybe how to change what discs we use to account for wind? That would be super helpful to me and I would think a lot of other people also! Thanks again for the great video!

  • @Fll3nAngel

    Axiom envy / lat64 Pure are two of my favourite putters for throwing!

  • @bravosection
    @bravosection Před 2 lety

    Here are my favourite discs in my mixed bag.
    Putter: Envy, Berg
    Mid: Hex, Reactor, Uplink
    Fairways: Crave, Terra, Vulture, Passion, Falk
    Driver: Nuke, Trace, Fission Wave

  • @TherealPapaDogP
    @TherealPapaDogP Před 2 lety

    The Volt is a must have. As is the Photon. I like them both in proton plastic.

    Hi Robbie, thank you so much for all of your videos. They have been a great resource for me as a new player. Over the last month I have noticed that periodically I will just crush a drive. Getting distance I have never seen before, however this isn’t always helpful as I have over shot landing zones or baskets making my up shots much more difficult. I wish I could just adjust to this new found “power” but it is not consistent yet. Any tips on how to grow through this awkward stage? Thank you again! And if you are looking for new discs my Non-Inova favourites are the Berg, Gatekeeper,and Grym.

    @jeremyjoyner1198 Před 2 lety

    As a new coach the comment on it being cut and dry could not be more accurate.
    As for molds: MVP relay, it is a 6 speed fairway that holds basically whatever line you put it on. Absolutely fantastic for tight fairways. And it's also sneakily good for forehand shots as well.

  • @drm-
    @drm- Před 2 lety

    I just started going to a mix bag. I have only thrown trilogy since I started. They have great plastic but felt like I may be missing some chances at other great discs. So far Avenger SS, Buzzz, BuzzzSS, and Envy are in the bag. Discmania Link(Arctic Fang) and Zone is being tested out

  • @jarreddenning8846
    @jarreddenning8846 Před 2 lety

    A must try is the westside sword. Like a beat in wraith out the box, such an underrated disc imo.

  • @nebnworb
    @nebnworb Před 2 lety

    Finish Line Era is a terrific disc that you don't need an absolute cannon to get great, controllable distance with. Highly recommend for that 9 to 11 speed slot.

  • @KingKerrmitt
    @KingKerrmitt Před 2 lety

    Lat 64 Trust and Grace are must tries. Grace goes for days as an 11 speed and the Trust is my go to disc in general. Plus Royal plastic is by far my favorite.

  • @tommystevens2656
    @tommystevens2656 Před 2 lety

    Elevation Disc Koi and Interceptor I have both in my bag, they help out a lot, especially when you need the disc to just sit where it lands and prevent extra travel of the disc on chain outs, which do not happen much with these.

  • @drager9398
    @drager9398 Před 2 lety

    Kastaplast grym been trying it pretty nice flight. Mint freetail is a new try great for turn over roller and hyper flips

  • @44shaner

  • @NutrigrainHulk
    @NutrigrainHulk Před 2 lety

    My bag is p heavily Axiom/MVP/Streamline - I'd recommend the Proxy, the Hex and the Virus. The Proxy is basically a beat-in Envy, great for turnover shots and shaping all sorts of things. The Hex is a neutral mid, just flies forever on whatever line you put it on, The Virus is a flippy 9 speed that can bomb and feels awesome in the hand. The new Fission Craves live up to the hype, too.

  • @50StichesSteel
    @50StichesSteel Před 2 lety

    You have to give all of the Prodigy A series of discs a try..They are in their own little niche spot for approach type discs..The lower the number the more OVERSTABLE. A1's, A2's are your zones and Pig spots. Where it really gets interesting is when you try and throw the A3's and A4's. The shape of the discs really change and they become their own things that no other company makes. They are thin, blunt nosed approach discs that can make some interesting flights happen.

  • @jarronams8877
    @jarronams8877 Před 2 lety

    I think some prodigy discs deserve more love, especially from lower arm speed players. I really like my f7, f5, and m4 in that "easy distance" category. I would love to see you eventually find "classes" of discs from more manufacturers to recommend, such as understable mid, easy distance fairway, workable utility, etc. Seeing these discs from lesser recommended brands would be great, like Era (if a few more molds come out soon), Mint, Clash, and so on.

  • @danielmakuch3094
    @danielmakuch3094 Před 2 lety

    MVP resistor. Unique disc in that is a 7 speed but is quite overstable. Excellent thumber/utility disc but also is excellent for controlled forehands. Low ceiling backhand flare skip shots as well!

    • @danielmakuch3094
      @danielmakuch3094 Před 2 lety

      Looks like a restock is coming soon! Perfect timing!
      Supposedly these ones are extra grade A angus certified red meat which I’m thrilled with

    @ruckeddeadup Před rokem

    Toss a golem in there from Divergent. It's sockibomb slammer-esque with nearly no lateral movement after hitting the ground. It's one of my favorite approach discs.

  • @alwolschleger7242
    @alwolschleger7242 Před 2 lety

    MVP/Axiom! Envy, Crave, Tesla, Photon, and of course Reactor.

  • @MaximilianBerkmann
    @MaximilianBerkmann Před 2 lety

    My recommendation would be:
    Putters: Pure, Hope, Nomad
    Approach discs: K1 Soft Berg, Harp, Slammer
    Midranges: Proton Deflector, Trust, Neutron/Fission Reactor, Hex, K1 (Soft) Svea
    Fairway drivers: Opto Explorer, Ethos Votum, C-line FD, Opto River, Neutron Terra, Grand Glory
    Control drivers: K1 Lots, Neutron Impulse
    Distance drivers: Grace, Alpha Elder, Neutron Wave, Rive and Opto Ballista.

    Id say you should try the Escape from Dynamic Discs. My favorite straight fairway driver. It goes so far and it has a perfect mix of flippy and stability.

  • @DiscPayne
    @DiscPayne Před 2 lety

    I'm a big mvp axiom fan. And recently re did my bag qnd only carrying 7 speed or less to work on fourm. But I would definitely recommend you trying out the mvp fission photon and fission wave. For 11 speed distance drivers. Fission allows you to get that light weight, at the same time they gyro technology keeps the disc stable in the wind. I've thrown my 149g wave in 20 mph wind and it stays true. But you definitely need to try the fission crave also if you can it's a 6.5 speed but can rival 9 speeds

  • @drunkonsomedrpepper
    @drunkonsomedrpepper Před 2 lety

    Hey Robbie, I’ve been playing for a couple years (Covid player). A couple months ago I got a ProPull and believe it is helped me a lot. It seems that everybody uses it but nobody is willing to talk about it in videos. Ulibari mentioned it in one of his recent series and then clearly chose not to show using it. I believe literally the timing video you just did could be replicated with a ProPull, but there aren’t any current videos using it. I imagine this is a licensing situation from the inventor. Anyways as somebody who is stuck in a tiny little apartment and uses the Pro Pull I would love to know your thoughts on it.

  • @jclark617
