Please never do a coaching video ever again. This was brutal 😂
Thank you. Thought it was just me. Not to mention his vocabulary is only F-this and f-that and get f-'d to passing cars. No thanks bra.
@@parks33 If that's all you heard then it's your loss.
@@parks33obviously ur not an idiot🤷🏻♂️
@@parks33most bitch-made comment I've read all week
@@parks33oh you're a Mormon lmao no comment
Your realness and sense of humor is a welcome change of pace from the milquetoast, neutered disc golf content out there. Enjoyed the hell out of this
Big facts
Big same facts as every other non world champion spits out. I'll follow their advice in the meantime
Agreed
I love the brutal honesty mixed with the cursing. It's just like my dad used to teach me in tee ball.
I really appreciate how many exemplary throws you put out there in tandem with your points. Too many talking heads telling you how to throw but not throwing. Seeing you effortlessly launch quality forehands is a testament to the fact that you put in the homework and fieldwork.
Gotta walk the walk not just talk🤝 glad you got something from it
This is good point, most the other forehand videos show like 1 throw total. I think it is important to see the different flights too.
This is the most aggressive disc golf video I’ve ever seen LOL 😂😂😂😂
This is honestly the most applicable and comprehensive (and contemporary) forehand video I’ve seen. Super relatable and outside of mentioning Ricky’s style (a hybrid of Barsby-Sexton style) you definitely covered the bases and I agree, the Barsby-Jerm form is the most diverse and aesthetically pleasing of them all. Well done, kind sir. Thank you for the content!
You nailed it on the Ricky forehand, not sure how I left that out must have just slipped my mind🤝
@@broderic I blame the Lyme disease and Bitcoin bonuses lol. He been on ice (literally, in his dope ice tub) for so long, easy to forget my brotha !!
@@timothyoconnor5734 lol so true😂
Tip of the day. "Don't throw it like a jackass" 😂
Exactly 🤝
I literally LOL’d when Brod said this. I can totally see telling myself that as I throw now.
I’m new, 3 months now. I’m 71 years old with an electronic implant in my back. Backhand really hurts. I can’t wait to try these tips. Great video. Thanks.
This is the best forehand video ever. I’m at my firehouse and just went outside and ripped some rockets for the first time just by watching you snap forehands. Better than watching anyone else’s step by step form bullshit. Thank you 🤙🏾
“Be an athlete, this is a sport.” Had me laughing. So many throws in this video is a huge win. Great video, man!
When you can learn and laugh at the same time? Gold!😂
Nah this is actually one of the best "coaching" videos I've ever watched. Went from an unusable forehand drive to usable with good potential after a small amount of trial and error. It was really helpful to see the different styles, get the one or two points on what makes that style, and then as you said not have any cues and just let my body work itself out. Often people throw around a bunch of cues and then they get in my head and end up having a negative effect.
I fell asleep in the middle of the day in the middle of this video.
And I still think it’s one of the better forehand tutorials I’ve ever seen.
Great stuff.
this is actually incredible content. please please please do more of these
Appreciate it🤝
Love the realness of the video. I learned more from this video than about a 100 videos watched
This was legit the best forehand video I have seen in youtube. Thanks for this! Im glad there was so many throws in the video and not just talking.
disc golf youtube goat. Anyone that thinks this is a bad coaching video has no clue
🤝
When I started thinking about my forehand like I was skipping a rock on a lake it totally clicked for me. At first I started throwing flexes with overstable discs because of my baseball background. Then one day I grabbed a fission photon with my mind set on skipping a rock instead of throwing a ball and the disc shot out of my hand dead straight with a gorgeous skip fade at the end. Game changer for me. Great video 👍
Photon on the rock skip sounds money🤝
Man that makes a lot of sense! Wow. Thank you!!
Damn I need more Coach Brod, This was the most helpful forehand video Ive watched. Totally nailed it with the 150' upshot being an easy (literally my go to upshot) but trying to throw one off the tee and it was hot fuckin garbage. Going out today to try what you were saying. Thanks for the great content as always dude. 🤝
Glad you could take something from it, thanks for watching 🤝
Dude this is the first video that ive seen of yours and I absolutely loved it and your whole style and just breakdown and kinda free flowing persona all together! Awesome all the way around! Great job!
Oh cool, a disc golf tutorial for "how to throw a forehand". I knew CZcams was missing something... but couldn't put my finger on what. This is it!
This is it🤝
i think what were really missing is more arm wrestling videos! and maybe some reviews of random shit thrown in! that would really hit the spot! shame no channels do both 🤔
This was the most comprehensive and raw forehand video I have ever seen. Nobody ever breaks down form or talks about the lag with the elbow. I cant wait to try out these tips this week! Thanks for the video man.
Thanks man, after watching this video three times, I'm throwing much better forehands now. ❤
This was awsome!!! I needed to be talked to like that. I subscribed. Too funny man.
Frisbee Clubs hats, shirts and stamps?? Absolutely. But Frisbee Club bag patches 👀 give it a thought Brod
I like the idea🤝
I’m 100% behind this
frisbee club shammies?
Great forehand guide! If only we had one like this for putting...
I’ll make…. Oh wait….😂 if only man🤝
This is what I needed. I was like this dude needs to make a forehand video because his forehand is butter! Lol
I also think it’s easier to throw a overstable over a understable for a forehand lol
Glad I could help🤝
That was about the best DG video I have seen to date. You sound like a coach, you teach like a coach, and you shared some great insights. Sometimes the best coaches are not people who have achieved the highest levels in a sport, but they are people who can see people playing at the highest levels, understand what's happening to make it high level, and then translate that into meaningful, actionable info. Well done. And Thanks.
You fore hand video is the best and entertaining video I have seen yet🤙
Agreed, starting to learn forehand with flippy discs is total trash advice. All discs will fly more understable forehand vs backhand because forehand imparts less spin relative to the throw speed. Brian Earhart has a really good vid on forehand fundamentals on the discraft channel. I mainly throw my zone and thunderbird for forehands, because they make it easy. But, I will also layup a Pure, Mako3, or Bounty with nothing more than a wrist flick. Anything more and they turn over from too much speed to spin.
You get it🤝
Loved the comparison of the 3 styles, it helped some concepts click in my brain as I've only started throwing forehand over the past year or two.
“You’re gonna already improve your forehand by realizing not to throw it like a jackass” 😂😂😂
Best tutorial I've seen, I went from throwing 50 ft forehands into the ground to a 300 foot drive on multiple angles
Excellent insights my caked up disc golf guy. Based, hyzer-pilled content the masses won't get to see. We are blessed.
Not totally sure what all of this means but thanks🤝
Snarf Snarf O'Bannon would approve
@@stever5305 OK I dunno what this one means...
Great vid bud. There are so many ways to throw. Learn them all and you will get the most pleasure out of this beautiful game as possible. I see someone that says this one way is how to do it. I kinda shake my head a little. Weather they have a lower score than me or not. I believe in experiencing the game. Not the lowest score I can or I’m pissed. You my friend have not only a well rounded game but you really enjoy yourself. I can see it. I’ve been playing for 26 years. I’ve watched all different Disc Golfer on CZcams from the beginning to of the platform started. Still watch some, some I can’t fuckin stand. You are becoming a favorite. I thought about it today. The one reason I throw is to watch the disc do what humans have been obsessed with for ever. Fly. So many angles. They call a throw a patent pending because so many of us figured out on our own how to step out correctly and shape that shot. Now I’m rambling. Keep it up kid I think it’s good shit.
Appreciate the comment man, thanks for watching 🤝
"Did this guy just honk in my video? Fuck you!" 😂😂😂 Excellent no-bullshit video! Appreciated the different styles because i alternate between them without realizing it.
Best forehand video period! Had me chuckling throughout the video as well.
What do you think about Tamm? I normaly visualize him when I throw, lock the arm back from the get go and pull throw straight.
Love it man, thank you, keen to practice tomorrow
Glad you could take something useful from it🤝
Elbow leading was a great tip, I think the only thing that's more / as important is to make sure your fingerprints are flat against the rim of the disc. I feel like so many beginners / iffy forehanders have their fingerprints on the bottom of the flight plate & their range of motion in their wrist is basically non existent. You will never have a decent forehand until you get those fingers square on the rim
That is a nice course. Subscribed for sure. Great info on throwing stable disks for practice. Thank you.
Do you squeeze the thumb against the forefinger so there is a pinch point or is the thumb just pushing down over the rim/plate edge or just pressing in on nothing?
Thanks for posting.
It’s more of a loose natural feel for me, I’m not really pressing down into anything in particular I’m just holding it in whatever way feels most comfortable 🤝 definitely don’t over press with the thumb IMO.
Ok. I'm very impressed how well you can throw forehand 3 different ways! You totally have the feel down. I can't feel it in 1 way😢
My main takeaway... Don't throw like a jackass! Love it.
Swapping between the different styles with such ease was pretty crazy to watch. Coach Brod gud.
Thanks🤝 I honestly impressed myself🤷🏽♂️
Wow man, I have a kinda forehand but never off the tee. But I was so excited after watching this video that I went out like 12 with my glow discs to go try it lol. Now my forehand feels awesome. Thank you daddy brode 🤝
That’s what I like to hear🤝
I am a forehand-dominant player off the tee (rarely ever drive backhand due to knees). Started with a single index finger grip because it was all I could control in the beginning. When the single finger grip stopped being secure enough for the power I was putting behind my shots, I learned a 2 finger grip (Nate Sexton style) and it revolutionized my distance and the stability of my discs. Not only did the 2 finger grip allow me to transfer more power to the disc, but also introduce WAY more spin. Suddenly discs I used to hyzer-flip won't turn over and are flying farther. I get more spin and snap because my wrist is more active with the 2 finger grip. Had to relearn nose angle control when I switched, but its been worth it!
10:21 Going in slow motion, and seeing your arm, I wish my shoulder would let me drive my elbow first like that. I want to throw forehand so badly, but I just don't think my body is designed to do it. Currently I throw my forehand from a sideways position to get a little bit of lag across my body because I can't bend my hand behand my shoulder. Do you think this is a viable way to generate some generic lag in my arm and at least get 200' or is this just a waste of time and should just focus on solid back hand turnover floaters?
Some people’s body just isn’t made for it, and that’s part of the is game. Strengthening and flex ability can help but that’s not something everyone is willing to do. Just gotta find something that your body allows you to do🤝
Drew Gibson sent me back here. I remember watching this just after I got injured. Im getting close to putting some of this into action, I cant wait! 🤝
I've totally given up on throwing forehands over the past 8 months.
These side profiles help a bunch!
Glad I could help🤝
This ministers to my soul. I’m a forehand main but I’m losing my game a little bit since I don’t go out much. But if I don’t overthink I have the potential to be an absolute dog
I just started throwing forehand. Most discs feel uncomfortable except for 7 speeds. Teebird and Grackle are my favorite. The 2 courses I play, both have obstacles on hole 1. One has a tree reaching over the middle I tend to hit. The second has a couple trees that I also tend to hit, and disc kick to right into someone's fenced yard with a big dog, much like The Sandlot.
Those are perfect discs to start with for forehand. Very true flight not Flippy not overstable🤝
Throwing flippy mids on hyzer is one of the most useful and satisfying shots to scramble with, especially in the woods.
Facts🤝 most beautiful shot in the game
Took me the last 3 months to get to 250ft with a forehand. You pretty much have summed up what I learned. All this bullshit on CZcams about serving pizzas and elbow against your body don't work. Just keep arm loose and flick. The part about the stutter step is legit, I was good for 150ft standstill but as soon as I started moving it was a mess... I'm able to do a slow walk up stutter step and get that 250ft... great video.
Glad you enjoyed, thanks for watching 🤝
I thought you came out a bit douchy, but i got it right away watched alot of videos and this one really really helped, first throw i already understood, woot woot tonyou thx alot!!
I take back douchy, after watching a few other videos i just think your an aquired taste😀😀 thanks agin for a great forehand video
TheDbaggery is 99% just jokes😉 thanks for checking out more vids🤝
1000+ rated video for sure. Any advice for a player that stopped throwing sidearm due to elbow pain?
Forearm/wrist/elbow exercises man. Gotta build up the muscles that are throwing the disc. Simple extensions and zottman curls with light weight. I’ll actually have a video covering more on this with my PT coming in the next week or two🤝
Honestly some good points I hadn't thought about when trying to develop my forehand
Glad you could take something from it. Like I said I’m not a coach but I figured for someone with a good knowledge and ability of the forehand I figured if I just said what goes through my mind with it some people could find it useful 🤝
Lots of great stuff here. Forehand dominant ex baseball player. I especially appreciate your beginner disc selection. I always suggest slightly overstable fairways. FD, Volt, Teebird, Evader, etc. I started with a Barsby Roadrunner. When I found the Volt my learning process really sped up. I’m trying to learn to control the flippy stuff now. Took me about a year to get to where I was really ready for that.
Takes a little while to dial in that Flippy stuff🤝
@@broderic I’m getting pretty good with my flippy Envy and my Sol. Haven’t quite figured out consistency with flippy fairways yet.
MY MAN! When I learned my forehand I did it on a Raptor and a Stal, overstable forehand starters for the win. It started as a utility throw for me and now is a staple of my game.
Actually really helpful been trying to learn front hands, also looking for a good bag to get if anyone has any suggestions for me
Glad I could help🤝 if you looking for a large tournament style bag. Check out my link in the bio for the bergs bag v3🤝
Not sure how much of the content landed for me but I definitely appreciate the vibe.
Sometimes I just talk🤷🏽♂️ who knows if it made any sense🤝😂
Brod, what a legend. I was actually put on by misha in the disc golf circle jerk subreddit many moons ago. Just wanted to shout-out gang and say I'm happy for your grind. You should make many for idiots videos and put them in their own playlist. This video banged and your others will as well. Backhands for idiots. We all know you need a putting for idiots video. Anyway shoutout love seeing your success.
i think after 3 years of not being able to throw a forehand, maybe all i needed was someone yelling at me, "don't throw like a fuckin jackass"
I think that’s what everyone needs🤝
Not sure where the shade is coming from. I'll be 40 in Nov and just started disc golf in July. I know that this style of communication isn't for everyone but I found it relatable and honest. Also, it's important to share that a study done by the University of Cambridge showed that researchers say that if you swear a lot, you're likely an honest person.
So, not only do I think that this is a great video full of excellent advice that actually helped me work on and fix my forearm form, but I also learned that swearing at cars is hilarious.
So, as someone who does suck at forehand throws, this actually got me pointed in the right direction. Appreciate it.
I'm in the process of rebuilding my forehand and my buddy has been preaching to lead with the elbow and to be more fluid. I think he's onto something! Awesome video, man.
Well you lead with your hips and the elbow is behind your hip, creating the lag. If you lead with your elbow first before your hip you gonna have some problems lol.
Ryan Sheldon does a good job explaining it. Man launches 600 ft forehands
@@sillyz9578 I guess in my mind it’s impossible not to lead with the hips so I emphasized the elbow more because in terms of arm motion you want elbow before hand🤝 but yes. Also Ryan fucking launches forehands.
@@broderic No I get what you were saying 100% man. I love your videos because you don’t beat around the bush lol and honest. Also, you’re forehand for sure reminds me of Big Jerms. Smooth and buttery
@@sillyz9578 appreciate that🤝 I try to keep it buttery
@@broderic if you ever come up to michigan (which you should) hmu will show you some sweet courses!
Love the content, education and motivation!
A little yelling goes a long way🤝
Thank's for your video and I realy like your style, cheers !
You went fully Boston after that honk, I love it
Great video but I feel like coach Brod would emotionally wreck me 😂
BROTHER YES
god i hate hearing that "learn to flick flippy discs"
Someone who's learning is gonna immediately hate flicking and never try it again if they try flicking a DX cobra right out the gate.
The skill will come. Go for practicality first, then go flippy as you get better
You get it🤝
When you say "lead with the elbow", are you referring to aiming? I have a no run-up, 1 step forehand and i get more momentum from my hip and timing my elbow slightly behind it with wrist snap. Some may translate "lead with the elbow" as just using all arm. I know this isn't a form video as much as it is an introduction to form video, i was just curious. Frisbee Club decals would be sick BTW
I’ve realized after the fact that maybe some would interpret lead with the the elbow meaning elbow before hip. In my mind it just seems like a given that you lead with the hip, but in terms of the arm motion you lead with the elbow and not that hand. (This is why I’m not an actual coach I guess) so lead with hip but lead with elbow when it comes to the arm. Sounds like you have the right understanding of keeping the hip and elbow timing lined up🤝
This is perfect. Subbed
Appreciate 🤝
Broderic is a disc golf national treasure🇺🇲
My man🤝
The one foot stomp is what I’ve been doing. Way back in the day I pitched sidearm in baseball and it makes it easier for me. I’m still trash but it’s serviceable.
Just gotta slowly incorporate more into it and take it up a notch🤝
This was great. Tytty. New fav
Popped up on my home page fyi! W! Me & U would be homies for sure lmaoooo
Just hangin out chuckin frisbee🤝
With your style, the flip up one, it looks like you roll the wrist at the end. How does it not just turn and burn? Or am I understanding it wrong?
Great video btw. I generally use the Paul style but I am Excited to try out the other two. The stomp style always looked good to me but I’ve never really seen it explained. Thanks for the vid!!!
I’d say with my form the part where I look like I roll it over is more of my follow through and not my actual release. The disc is already out of my hand when I “roll over”
My form is between the "stomp" and the Paul McBeth/Adam Hammes windmill; but, I throw 400ft and I'm 56, so IDGAF! 😂 I'm an old baller, and agree with everything you said here. Great job on the vid!
Sounds like you know what you’re doing🤝
Great video, would love a deeper dive for a more advanced forehand
To be honest this is about as deep as it gets for me😂
Let’s call your grip the half-shocker 😂
I have multiple vids of different forehand styles I've tried since Feb '23. I'd test out different styles I'd seen on other DG channels. You have a way with words, sir!
I haven't figured out my forehand walk up yet, so I'll start with the "Stomp" (shortcut to that 9:20) & you can watch later in the month for progress 🤝👋
Definitely give it a try🤝
{Positive comment to offset the prudes who have never heard an f-bomb in their lives} Good vid.
The bread and butter are discs with 9/5/-1/2
Facts🤝
I throw flippy discs forehand for one main reason; it's easier on my surgically repaired shoulder. Coming over the top a little using something like a firebird just puts a lot of strain on the joint. Throwing something under stable like a sidewinder causes no pain at all and requires little effort for good distance.
100% if you have the ability to flick Flippy stuff you should. I just think for the person who has little to know knowledge or skill with the forehand, some neutral/stable is best so actually see improvement and enjoy the process.
An early 3k sub gift. Keep it up brother! Can't wait for those trucker Frisbee club hats
My man, trashcan. Appreciate it🤝
This is my favorite tutorial of all time
That’s what I like to hear 🤝
The fundamentals you talked about early in the video are correct. There are different run-ups, different wind-ups, different grips, but in the end you are just flicking it out there.
Nice video, seems like the distance is effortless and technique not to hard on the elbow thinking about injuries. Next coach Broderic video, how to hyzerflip with Alex Geisinger?🔥Would love the content and walk through! Keep it up!
Thanks for watching 🤝
Goddamn this is a refreshing discgolf video 😂
I like it. Thanks for sharing the no BS info.
Best forehand demo on youtube.
I lost it! Coming back to get my forehand back.
My therapist: "Sexy Brod can't hurt you. Sexy Brod doesn't exist."
This vid:
🤷🏽♂️🤝
Please do more tutorials, I love it!! :)
First of your videos I watch, thanks @BananaDiscGolf for bringing me here 😛
Heading out to the field this afternoon to see if I can stay loose and throw beyond 150ft without pain (former dismantled shoulder here...)
Now, I'd love to see you demonstrate and explain the Sarah Hokom style 😂
everything youve said here is absolutely correct, id like to say im in the big forehand club (420ish max) and have done almost all of this stuff to get to that point, but i love to flex discs instead of flip stuff up haha
To each there own🤝 if you got the big flex and it works then it works, I’d just say for someone starting from scratch the flip up or flat release is the way to go🤝
@@broderic flat is hard sometimes, when I'm teaching people how to forehand I also tell them to throw a baseball like you're Tim Tebow on the gators 😂
Don't forget.....be an athlete. A mantra we should all live by
Facts🤝
I've been watching videos on CZcams for a while trying to learn a forehand. It's been complete shit!nothing i tried felt right or made since. Your video is the 1st to click for me. Thanks for breaking it down in a way this idiot can understand. Now, I just need to keep practicing.
Dang, no pizza served on those, zippin' ! May require charm school, however !
This vid totally made me realize there is not near enough f bombs in general disc golf discussion
