I promise you Dion is a Ninja he can throw effortless and attain 500 feet. Every part of the mechanics he uses he is nearly flawless....great stuff if you want to maximize your distance
Dion is at the top of my list of pros that I would like to meet. There’s no way that he isn’t a nice guy! He saw my instagram post, gave me some advice, and directed me to this video. I’m going to go snap my towel now.
I'm excited to try the "up-in-the-fingers" grip! With the disc stuck in your palm, I can see how you lose lots of power/arm speed trying to compensate with release angle for a an-hyzer shot. With the disc up in your fingers is almost impossible to release hyzer. Before I was compensating with a late release and skewed shoulder angle.
Great video, I just returned to discgolf at my local club after 7 years of not throwing anything except garbagebags into the dumpster at work. I like the technical tips and step by step instructions. having spent my youth ruining my back at my local track and field club by overtraining the shot put and discus throw I just have to nitpick a bit about the "fatigue" references at 05.00-05.20 which sound like a misconception to me :D (sorry about that.. I dont like to be "that guy" but sometimes i cant help myself), its actually not so much fatigue but rather that you want to leave the muscles fully relaxed so you can exploit the innate stretch reflex when you bring up the torque from your legs through your hips thereby increasing your explosive Power. Everything you said in this video will teach people to do this very effectively however =)
Great video. The tip about how to accelerate helped me the most. I was focusing too much on the acceleration from reach back to chest, and was experiencing fatigue. Now, accelerating from the chest to release, combined with improving the spin I put on the disc, I throw better, and don't overwork myself trying to muscle the disc.
Just started using the Z Nuke. I've already seen a 430 foot drive in an open field with it. Most of the time, I'm seeing 360-375. Once it wears in a little, I think it'll start to really hold a turn for a long long time. One of the things that really helps me is the concept of focusing the power rather than unleashing the power. From there, you can unleash focused power. For RHBH, a slight left to right tailwind is ideal for max D.
lol, you had me at the boxer reference. This is a great video for us mortals that have thrown more punches than discs. Thank you sir, this is going to be very helpful.
I ware a Townsend metal brace on my right knee. I have poor range of motion in my hips due to steal rods in my lower spine. Along with a metal plate in my neck that stops some ROM. I am a right hand back hand, and forehand thrower. With the forehand I can do a run up during T off. with the back hand I can not do the cross step as my leg will not cross due to the rom in my hips. I still throw 100 to 150 feet with the back hand, and about 200 to 250 feet forehand.
I met Dion the other day--great guy! It was nice to meet a pro who didn't have a big head and attitude. I saw him throw some bombs too. Keep up the good work, man!
Generally speaking, if you can get what you need from the disc with that grip, then it's okay. However, speaking from my experiences, driving with a finger on the leading edge of the disc will simply take power off of your throw. Don't let that keep you from trying it though, or trying to modify a power grip so that your leading finger is separate from the other 3 but is still looped under the rim - meeting the two styles half way. But, if you're getting the distance you need, stay the course.
For average players the nuke is designed to cut back to the left like most discs (with the exception of the Avenger SS or Buzzz SS). Keep throwing it until you learn the flight pattern. You may even want to try to release it with a slight anhyzer. But he said in the video that he releases it on a hyzer so you may want to try that.
What he doesn't talk about is his side flick. Competed with him a few months back and he's CRUSH's the RHFH. Great attitude on the course RTW. He told me a story where Feldberg though his name was Ron and called him "Ron the Whip". The nickmane stuck and now sign's his own disc's RTW.
If you're a newer player, your disc (assuming you're a right handed back hand player) will generally fade to the left at the end of its flight. This is normal. If you're looking to get straighter shots, make sure you're throwing level (not high up in the air) and are getting some good snap on your disc. Lastly, make sure you're using skill appropriate discs - i.e. Eagle, Surge SS, Avenger SS, TL, etc, not Ape, Force, Nuke, Boss, and similar discs. Other than that, practice; talk with locals too.
Each disc has a critical trajectory where it will continue to turn right no matter how much time it's given. You can attribute it mostly to speed, angle, pitch and spin. So with a disc like the Nuke, if you give it massive spin, then even a small anhyzer angle can send it irrecoverably to the right. That said, it did look like the the disc was beginning to flatten out at 0:53 so it's hard to tell where it would ultimately go.
This is one of the best videos on youtube for learning distance. I started playing almost a year ago last febuary and cause of this video I can through about 450 feet. Its not 700+ but I can keep up with most people on the course. there are four parts of this video that are very important to distance: 1:08 the grip - 3:09 using your body - 4:52 arm speed - 6:42 use of a towl
Learn to throw a mid-range correctly and the distance driving will follow. Plus, because it is slower with a more blunted edge, it will not hurt so too much to catch. I would suggest a Discraft Buzz. If you can throw it 250 feet, your equivalent with a driver should exceed 300 feet.
I live in Augusta Ga. A lot of our courses don't allow for the wide throw or crazy hyzer. It's more about precision with power. I throw a lot of front hand s drives.
Dion mentions body conditioning but I can't find any videos that talk about drills or exercises I can do to improve my arm speed or body speed. It'd make a great video Dion ;)
I've been discing for years, I like to use a 3 finger grip. Just a basic power grip like most people use, but I feel like the pinky gets in the way. I just curl it back to keep it outta the way. Prevents grip-lock a lot, and I can drive prettttyyy far. Not sure the distance exactly but probably at least a good 300 or so.
Awesome video man!!! The thing that helped me the most from this video is when you are running up and you bring your arm back, you should start out on your toes on your lead (driving) leg and then right before you pivot, drop your heel, which shifts your weight and momentum to your front (driving) leg. Just doing this alone gave me about 30 extra feet per drive on average. I've been playing for a few years, never competitively, I only go with buddies from work. I've never been especially great at disc golf but I love to get out there and play. I've never had anyone give me any pointers or suggestions on what I'm doing wrong or what I should change, but after watching this video I gained a much better understanding of what I can improve upon. I'm already throwing much longer drives, still need to work on opening up my hips and shoulders upon release.
Nice job on this one. Discraft is definitely improving the quality of its pro clinic videos. Dion teaches well and has a good on-camera presence for these instructionals, hope to see him do more in the future.
Don't forget to have fun! When I started playing real golf last year I shocked my Uncle at how good my mindset was. Golf is golf. The mental part of the game at least!
a disc thrown backhand (by a right-handed person) will always fade left at the end of flight. Understable means that it will turnover to the right and then fade left once it slows. Also, his definition of understable is different from ours since he can throw 700+ feet and I'm assuming you can't (you're just not a world champion distance thrower).
@iTwitchAlot1 look at the grass, his clothing, the grass at :39 seconds at the top of the hill is smooth too... there's not much wind aiding those throws.
keep the disc perfectly flat/parallel to the floor when you release. if its going to the left, then the left is lower than the right when you release. keep it more parallel to the floor and you should be good
I think that is where I'm losing a lot of my power, I'm forcing everything into one big snap rather then finishing it off with a snap at the end. Great guide
The ability to throw far is important and is one of the factors that separates a novice from a pro. Being able to throw more than, say, 300 feet allows more options for driving. For example, you might throw a powerful hyser over a grove of tall trees and land in an open field--impossible if you haven't mastered proper driving technique. The ability to deliver powerful drives when needed gives you more options and will lower your scores.
My brother tore his acl from the bone. He couldnt play for almost 3/4 of a year. If your knee is bad i would recomend getting a metal knee brace that is comfortable and allows you to turn just a little bit. He can throw his nuke about 400 feet and thats with a horrible knee and slow runup
Used to play Frisbee Football, I was quaterback, have 6 different weights from 88g to 165g. Now when I tried disc golf, my throws did alot of left diving, it was a 13 and had low end numbers. Hard to get distance as I approach 60 years old. Lots of curving.
TOBAGGON!!! Best course ever and I'm very lucky to live 10 miles from Kensington. Too bad we only got it 10 days a year and I hear it may not be back again:'(
Huh I throw like Rob. To me that always made sense and was comfortable and offered me the best throw possible for both distance and accuracy... my brother does a side toss that can get some real distance to it. A style I never could learn. We would go to a foot ball stadium to throw discs. In highschool we had a freeze bee toss for farthest distance. With three throws I threw longer than a foot ball field on average.
Sweet video Dion! Now you just need to release a forehand version. Then Discraft will have two great videos showing how to drive. After that you just need Rollers, Thumbers, Tomahawks, and .... are there any other ways to drive a disk?
An understable disc does fade right however because he throws backhand he imparts a spin on the disc which forces it to go left. For example: if you throw a Buzz a really straight flying disc backhand at the end of its flight it will go left. if you throw the buzz forehand or flicking it, it will go right at the end. that is all due to the spin of the disc. the reason he uses an understable disc is that during its flight it has the potential to stay in the air longer. b/c of how it behaves.
He said the Nuke was understable, which means it would fade right at the end of its flight, correct? But as he was explaining the flight path, he showed the disc fading left at the end (his left). Did he mean to say overstable? Sry, I'm sort of new to disc golf and trying to make sure I understand the lingo
I average 320-350 with lower speed discs which I recommend over max speed discs which I still only get 250-300 tops..it's weird but I think because it's still too fast for me. In time I hope to throw my Nuke OS which is just chillin in my Bag waiting to be bombed
@g0ing2n0where Well, it kinda is :) There are production differences between Z nukes aswell. I have some that fly like Teebirds and some that fly more like Leopards.
This is a very good video - I have watched it a bunch of times. I have a question though. This is in no way meant to try to discredit Dion's throws - we all know he crushes. Ok, if you are on top of one hill (like him) and you are throwing to the top of another hill (like in this video), doesn't that play "shorter" than the actual number of feet from point A to point B, since if you flattened out that piece of land, it would be longer?
You are correct in assuming the distance from the tee to end of the range over a valley(or a peak), if "flattened out" would be longer than a direct vector from the tee. I'm no expert, but I would say it depends on how they measured the markers. If they measured using something like a Laser Distance Measuring Tool, than the distance would be accurate from the tee. If they measured using a Surveyor's Wheel, then most definitely the measurements would be inaccurate from the tee. Overall I'm fairly certain, because of their implied professionalism, they would have used a Laser Distance Measuring Tool to mark the distance.
@g0ing2n0where yea, I thought the nuke was really overstable too. It's pretty overstable unless you've got a wide open area where you're throwing 400 ft+. We've got two fairly long holes at my course, 400ft and 450+ ft, and I have to give them a lot of hyzer compared to shorter
Can anyone tell me if they think this power grip with the index finger on the leading edge of the disc is okay. Meaning three fingers underneath. I've been throwing a Frisbee for decades and the index finger on the front edge is ingrained in my head and feels very comfortable..Thanks..
@Imgetnswole22 I am very aware of what type of plastic esp is. Since you are so aware of such things please post a link where I can find an "esp" Nuke OS. Because I am very sure they have never released a nuke OS in that plastic. The only plastic that the nuke OS has been released in is Z plastic. Thanks
@saemj Lol yeah, ive tried a few different nukes. only one i ever threw that felt really understable to me was a pro d one that a friend had that he had beat in quite quickly. I know theres always variation in the plastic, but even pros typically call the nuke stable. Just shows theres some difference between the guys who are pro dgolf players and the guys who are pro distance throwers.
Learn forehand. Requires less body movement. Also, I know people that can throw backhand 400-500 ft with a very slow run up. It's seems to be more about getting the hips to turn rather than generating speed. Though, it can help with distance to have more speed.
it's so hard to learn the new styles of throwing with all these high speed drivers when you're used to playing old school disc golf (like throwing cobras for distance)
@JRaab311 nah dude ive been there its definitely up hill. i can throw 500+ and its damn near impossible for me to throw completely to the top of the hill
Are these just normal frisbees... Can anybody give me any info.. Im going to order a frisbee I just want to throw to my friend but a nice smooth throw... Whats best to start with.. Ive seen some brodie trick shot vid and this disc golf... I wish we had this in uk
Am I the only one who watches videos AFTER I go to the course? It’s incredibly frustrating and I’m not sure why I subject myself to this torture. All it makes me want to do is get back in the car and hit it all over again.
I'm have played with Dion he is the epitome of natural physics throwing plastic.We call him the whip up here...If call him the ninja..because he is ridiculous at throwing far.
Regular players don't need to know how to throw 500, 600, 700 feet. That's silly. We need to know how to throw straight and consistently. I don't care if you can throw it from Atlanta to Milwaukee.
@Imgetnswole22 I'm guess they did come out with the Esp Nuke OS this year. They were selling them at the memorial this year as a fundraiser disc. My mistake
It is too overstable for 99% of ppl, unless U want a super knife hyzer disc or something that U know is never going to go straight or turn (aka a super windy day disc) Basically, unless U have a HUGE arm or need an overstable utility disc U really don't need one.
Boxers are always saying, "any good disc golfer will tell you, power comes from the ground up."
That dude in the background at the 1:00 mark tho....
I promise you Dion is a Ninja he can throw effortless and attain 500 feet. Every part of the mechanics he uses he is nearly flawless....great stuff if you want to maximize your distance

Probably the best discraft distance clinic yet in terms of production quality and providing clear concise information.

My grip is a lot like dion, I just notice that and it give a lot more of my body involved in the shot, and is very comfortable for me

good vid for many reasons. i like this guy dion because he shows that pure strength takes a backseat to technique and torque.

great disc for long shots, tends to S out if you throw slight anhyzer
@thatcatstan I think it's because he's also a martial arts instructor. He's used to teaching in a more clinic style.
Isn't the nuke an overstable disc? He must be really throwing at high speeds to get that left to right pattern.
Huh I throw like Rob. To me that always made sense and was comfortable and offered me the best throw possible for both distance and accuracy... my brother does a side toss that can get some real distance to it. A style I never could learn. We would go to a foot ball stadium to throw discs. In highschool we had a freeze bee toss for farthest distance.

Keep the nose down. If you're throwing RHBH, reach high when your hand is back during the windup, and "snap the whip" down.
One of the better tutorials iv seen.
@jptDrEaMeR I know! It almost feels overstable but its so easy to turn over!
Sweet video Dion! Now you just need to release a forehand version. Then Discraft will have two great videos showing how to drive. After that you just need Rollers, Thumbers, Tomahawks, and .... are there any other ways to drive a disk?
TL:DR an understable disc will always finish left if given enough time in the air due to the spin from throwing it backhand.
It was great to hear a pro talk without going um uh um uh well I do uhh ... Very well shot/prepared to give tips. Thanks!
@MarkOates2 that it hole 13 i believe on the kensington taboggon course, its only set up for tournament play from june-july.
nuke under stable?
An understable disc does fade right however because he throws backhand he imparts a spin on the disc which forces it to go left. For example: if you throw a Buzz a really straight flying disc backhand at the end of its flight it will go left. if you throw the buzz forehand or flicking it, it will go right at the end. that is all due to the spin of the disc. the reason he uses an understable disc is that during its flight it has the potential to stay in the air longer. b/c of how it behaves.

Did he mean to say overstable? Sry, I'm sort of new to disc golf and trying to make sure I understand the lingo
Its hilarious that he called the nuke understable. Thats gotta be some insane throwing power to make it act like that.
I average 320-350 with lower speed discs which I recommend over max speed discs which I still only get 250-300 tops..it's weird but I think because it's still too fast for me. In time I hope to throw my Nuke OS which is just chillin in my Bag waiting to be bombed
@g0ing2n0where Well, it kinda is :) There are production differences between Z nukes aswell. I have some that fly like Teebirds and some that fly more like Leopards.
Great because everyone blazes on the disc trail and is friendly.
This is a very good video - I have watched it a bunch of times. I have a question though. This is in no way meant to try to discredit Dion's throws - we all know he crushes. Ok, if you are on top of one hill (like him) and you are throwing to the top of another hill (like in this video), doesn't that play "shorter" than the actual number of feet from point A to point B, since if you flattened out that piece of land, it would be longer?
You are correct in assuming the distance from the tee to end of the range over a valley(or a peak), if "flattened out" would be longer than a direct vector from the tee.
I'm no expert, but I would say it depends on how they measured the markers.
If they measured using something like a Laser Distance Measuring Tool, than the distance would be accurate from the tee. If they measured using a Surveyor's Wheel, then most definitely the measurements would be inaccurate from the tee.
Overall
I'm fairly certain, because of their implied professionalism, they would have used a Laser Distance Measuring Tool to mark the distance.
weebee833 He's not on top of a hill tho, he's in the bottom of it throwing uphill.
@g0ing2n0where yea, I thought the nuke was really overstable too. It's pretty overstable unless you've got a wide open area where you're throwing 400 ft+. We've got two fairly long holes at my course, 400ft and 450+ ft, and I have to give them a lot of hyzer compared to shorter

Thats my favorite course to play, im there a good 10-15 times each year for the short time its open
Thanks! I was debating weather to get one or not
What is the difference in 164-166 grams
vs 173-174 grams? Which one goes further you think???
Nice vid, can't wait to get out there and throw.... I hate winter.
@Imgetnswole22 I am very aware of what type of plastic esp is. Since you are so aware of such things please post a link where I can find an "esp" Nuke OS. Because I am very sure they have never released a nuke OS in that plastic. The only plastic that the nuke OS has been released in is Z plastic. Thanks
good video, some tips that I will try to get my driving distance over 350 feet.
I have 9 pins in my right ankle and poor range-of-motion (ROM) I usually throw rhbh, any tips for me?
Im gonna need you to come to texas and teach me how to throw away from the woods. The sad thing is i only throw it like 50ft
lol this video makes the Nate Doss distance video even more hilarious
@saemj Lol yeah, ive tried a few different nukes. only one i ever threw that felt really understable to me was a pro d one that a friend had that he had beat in quite quickly. I know theres always variation in the plastic, but even pros typically call the nuke stable. Just shows theres some difference between the guys who are pro dgolf players and the guys who are pro distance throwers.
I just picked up a nuke a couple weeks ago. The thing hooks like crazy.
That flip at 4:47 is insane..
Nuke!? Understable!?!
Thanks for the reply, I'm getting back into it.
After watching this vid i threw over 400ft for the first time today. Thanks Dion!!!!!
Learn forehand. Requires less body movement. Also, I know people that can throw backhand 400-500 ft with a very slow run up. It's seems to be more about getting the hips to turn rather than generating speed. Though, it can help with distance to have more speed.
Thanks...now I remember what I was doing right 3 years ago.
it's so hard to learn the new styles of throwing with all these high speed drivers when you're used to playing old school disc golf (like throwing cobras for distance)
Love this video. It's helping me dial in my XL 172
I didn't know you played disc golf, or I don't remember that you played disc golf.
Just started a few months ago. It's great! Let me know if you want to play sometime.
Dion's been throwin with Dryone!
thanks for the tips Dion.
Did he say Esp Nuke OS? Must have been a prototype, because the esp OS was never released
@JRaab311 nah dude ive been there its definitely up hill. i can throw 500+ and its damn near impossible for me to throw completely to the top of the hill
What does anyone think of the Nuke OS??
does having long arms help to throw far?
Are these just normal frisbees...
Can anybody give me any info..
Im going to order a frisbee I just want to throw to my friend but a nice smooth throw...
Whats best to start with..
Ive seen some brodie trick shot vid and this disc golf...
I wish we had this in uk
Am I the only one who watches videos AFTER I go to the course? It’s incredibly frustrating and I’m not sure why I subject myself to this torture. All it makes me want to do is get back in the car and hit it all over again.
I'm a new player and my best drive is about 320 ft. My putting game is atrocious though. Any tips?
Excellent video
Amazing ! Some serious hints and not even half the clip is product placement ! Maybe Discraft clinic videos finaly start being useful :D Keep it up !
very nice...a fellow Golf addict
I'm have played with Dion he is the epitome of natural physics throwing plastic.We call him the whip up here...If call him the ninja..because he is ridiculous at throwing far.
Regular players don't need to know how to throw 500, 600, 700 feet. That's silly. We need to know how to throw straight and consistently. I don't care if you can throw it from Atlanta to Milwaukee.
This made my shoulder hurt just watching...
I must be a freak because I use Robbie's grip, I'm going to change though becaue I'm getting a callus on my middle finger.
try an understable disc like an innova road runner
Change your disc?
@Imgetnswole22 I'm guess they did come out with the Esp Nuke OS this year. They were selling them at the memorial this year as a fundraiser disc. My mistake
It is too overstable for 99% of ppl, unless U want a super knife hyzer disc or something that U know is never going to go straight or turn (aka a super windy day disc) Basically, unless U have a HUGE arm or need an overstable utility disc U really don't need one.
more vids plz TY
lol if i tried the spin throw there would be many frisbees in the woods lol how does he throw it straight
disc golf is everywhere. but discs are bad for playing catch with. they hurt to catch. go to discrafts website to learn more.
