Johannes (the guy with the red face) has been playing disc golf for 20+ years and here are some tips that has helped him along the way. Hopefully you´ll learn stuff and win everything from here on out.
Have a great day! 😀

"We have more discs than you!" - Your BFFs. Shut them up? 👇🤘 /Jonathan

But Johanenenenes said I only need 3!
What fairway driver do you like best? what plastic?
@@zekeforgey4552 Explorer in Opto plastic is probably my favorite. Really versatile!
The last clip has to be the most golden tip. The ability, mid-round, to just let what happens happen, and say “oh well” in your mind as you go to throw your next shot, is what I try to do every competitive round. Having a short memory on good and bad shots is so hard but so important to make it fun.
Be a gold fish!
The worst day of disc golf is still better than the best day in the office!
The last one is GOLDEN. The ability to laugh at your mistakes makes it fun to play with you ans you can laugh woth others. Creating more fun of the sport.
...although its not easy. Because i practice a little bit and my brain expects results. 😁😁
Forehand only round, yes please! (And only straddle putt)
Jonathan, your dg content is unmatched on the interwebs. Stay strong. The joy will return.
Where is the Johanenenes "Oh well \o/" stamp?? :)
One tip for practice....find a field with trees. When i'm trying to learn a new disc, I go to a local field that is wide open. But when I want to practice throws, there's a field near me that has some trees. I use that to practice and improve my aiming and see how hyzers, straight, and anhyzer throws go since I have to throw around trees.
that's the future right there 100% trees more hazards a deep stream where you cannot retrieve your disc , mud bog, up hills down hills, ravines... all will bring your game up all day. I can't imagine playing on a traditional golf course like how it started. Nothing against it just not what I'm used to.
I went to a clinic run by Philo. He told us on how he taught himself to shape shots in the field. He got a bunch of tall stake flags (similar to the flags spotters place when a disc goes OB, but these were much taller). He would set them up in a field so he could shape his shots around them. It’s a bit more modular than trying to find the right tree, but then again, you won’t get the feedback of your disc thwacking against the bark.
I will add a few psychological tips of my own:
1. Lower your expectations after drives. When you expect to be parked within 3 meters and then you find the disk at 7m, the putt gets even harder.
2. Putt the same way as in practice. If you only aim for 3 seconds when you practice, don't do an 8s routine during competition.
3. Think about every shot separately. If you think "yeah I know how to throw this one, I parked it last round", it often leads to underestimation and the shot landing short.
4. Get comfortable with your putting, it will help you hit more aces :) When you aren't afraid of longer comback putts, it allows you to throw AT the chains rather than UNDER the basket.
5. REMEMBER TO LAUGH IT OFF! It is scientifically proven™ that even a fake laugh can "trick" your body into not reacting so negatively to adversity.
Meaning you will throw better than if you let your anger show through. Look at Simon Lizotte, he only smiles after really great or really bad shots ;)
Good tips. Putting for sure has to become routine. Sometimes the visual surrounding can be distracting can take you out of the putting game - and then there's the psych of 'too hard and it rolls 50 meters down the other side of the hill'
I gotta try #2. I definitely putt faster in practice. A longer routine gives me more time to think and my brain is my enemy out on the course!
Good advice!
This is some of the best advice out there. Slow is smooth and smooth is far.

And smooth is far and far is cool!
@@jaym6945 which he stole from the TV Series "Shooter".
“Oh well!”
Let the attachment go. I like that advice. 👍🏽
It's like let it snow......
oh.....welllllll it just goes!!!
Yes, make a forehand-only round video! That would be great! Maybe a Rollers-only one also!
I used to get mad and yell when I would hit a tree. Now I laugh every time, it truly does make the game more enjoyable.
2:30 this is great advice when I first started playing I learned what forehand was then after a week of throwing terrible I decided to play an only forehand round and in 1 round I got it down and started throwing good forehand
The end is pure gold ahaha
Great tips and good execution. Best discgolf channel ever, thank you Jonathan and Johanenenenes for being here.
The ending was gold!!! 😂
Before ever watching Latitude 64 here I would say the same! BUY FUSE! If you're only gonna use 1 disc that is my favorite by far :D
I really wish you guys would put the songs in the description. All the metal you guys put up is just bouncy goodness. I want it.
The last tip was good, and in what other sport do you aim while turning your head away from the target?
4:17 , ooh there´s that beutiful disc again, you shold sell it to me :)
Y'all's videos are so informative and fun! Thanks!
Thank you guys. I was a little bummed today with practice but these tips helped put things into perspective
Johannes, you are a good spiritual guide :D
Love your videos! There is always an educational component but more than anything they are fun and funny. Keep up the great work!
Thank you =)
I've been throwing 2-4 times a week for the past 3 years and I finally just surpassed 460 feet, I did it with a disc mania pd2
Congrats! 🥳
I loved this. Thanks Johan-na-nes!
Hey guys - thanks again for a great video. Any chance JF can make a Latitude 64 metal mix for Spotify?
Thanks!
I agree with all of this info.
Thank you
" Oh Well"
I started out playing with only 1 stable midrange. My friend would ask me "why don't you buy more discs?" And I'd respond "dude I'm still beating you."
So basically, buy a fuse.
Be ready to PEW!!! Oh Well 😂. Glad to see you both back doing what we love 💕. Thanks 🙏 Fellas 🎉
Loved the outro !!!!!
It deserved the price of better short films from youtube discgolf game ever made in the top of the universe ;)
I fricking love your videos!! 😂
I generally have taught myself alot from just watching the good players i meet and play with. I do the same thing the guys built similar to myswlf do.
Best disc golf content on the Internet right here!
Great advice and love the humour 😅
Oh Well!! You hurt that tree bad. Oh well I guess, it's grown to like it.
Not gonna lie i loved the Jonathan/Tomas chemistry but i get he is busy. Johannas (sp?) is really coming to his own and i'm enjoying these videos.
That’s good to hear, about not caring. I stopped keeping score. Improved my game tremendously. Don’t get me wrong, when I’m with friends we keep score. But because of all the times by myself not keeping score. My game improved. Thanks for the video
Great tips as always😄🤟
That ending though 😂😂
Just gotta relax is the hardest part
Johannes does snus? :D :D Busted!
Forehand only round please!
And maybe Johannes and Jonathan could give a similar list of five things for post-beginner intermediate folk who have been playing for 2-3 years?
GREAT STUFF! I LOVE YOU GUYS!
Make a "Bite" forehand only round, that's how you learn how to be smooth ^^
Oh my God I feel that last one so hard😂😂😂
Johnathan Id love to see you play a FH round
I do the first part of the "do it like this" a lot. Hitting trees that is.
I will definetly be doing a forehand only round
Forehand only round please! I throw 95% forehand and I would love to see your approach to it.
In Jonathan's case it might devolve into a throwler round...
I love these Videos ❤
First I want to say I love these videos. now I recently got my hands on an old Falchion, and I absolutely love this disc I was able to find another on eBay. why is this disc not being made anymore and if there's one that The has replaced it can somebody point me towards that please.
Yo, Falchion is a cool mold. It is close in flight to a Saint (which has way better sales), so that's why it has not been produced for a while. The biggest difference between the two is height of the disc (Falchion: 1.6 cm / Saint: 1.9 cm). Rim depth is also lower for Falchion than Saint, so it feels a bit different in the hand. So Saint would be my best suggestion to try out, maybe Fury (even though that might be a bit more understable than Falchion). Now and then we make small production runs of older molds like Falchion only for the Latitude 64 Factory Store. So keep your eyes open. / Johannes
Hahaha These videos are the best ever made.
I started playing just a little after Jonathan began working with Tomas and Johannes … I’ve learned SO much from all of you!!! I started playing a few months before I turned 60, and I’m 62 now. I’ve always been athletic, but I’ve also become comfortable with the likelihood that at this age I’ll never be a big bomber.
I’m curious about just how true “slow is smooth and smooth is far” is? I’ve had MANY remarks since starting that I’m “smooth”, but I feel like I could get some more distance (typical max around 280-310). I’m currently thinking my nose angle needs to be more consistently down than it is.
Most often I can give all I got with a destroyer and throw 360ft. But at least two times I made my River (7 speed) fly just as far, but that only have happened when I tried to make really relaxed shots. Comparing how much effort it was in these shots it felt more like an up shot with some run up.. I don't feel that I can make these shots any day or on delivery, but I'm really interested in learning more of how they could fly so far without me even trying. My friend said exactly the words "slow is smooth and smooth is far" one of the times.
@@paatrick90: Yeah, if it’s possible to slow down and throw farther, I want to learn!!
Hey johannesanesanesanes!
I have a heavy metal request for latitude 64....name a disc after mikael akerfeldt. Like akerfeldts hat. Its like the ufo disc. get opeth on board!!! There could be much love from Australia!
I've thought many times that their O would be such a nice stamp on a disc.
@@Matarro1980 didn't even occur to me how nice that would look!!!! Bright orange/red/pink with a black logo.
Sad to hear there is still nothing on the horizon for opeth music wise...😢 have had an awesome spell!!!
@4:10 BEST TIP
FUSING IT 💪
As a beginner I love using Pearl😊
plz explain for a beginner exactly how a forehand comes off the fingers?
Music credits? Need to know who these bands are!! :)
What sort of weather do you find is the worst for you to play on your local (Apart from the obvious... Rain).
Go practice in that... You may be surprised in the things you discover, throwing shots in bad weather...
Today I went and threw disks on an open field with a very strong wind...
I'm a right hand backhander...
I found.... Throwing across (strong side wind from the left) I needed to throw a neutral, nearing under stable driver...
The wind carried the disk without flipping it.. Over stable would drop the wind side edge and the wind would hammer it into the ground.
Into the wind... Ok I have a disk I call "Mr Broken"... I was anhyzering this at 30-40deg and it was fading out hard... My best shots into a roaring headwind wa my Rive with a low flight, Anhyzer...
A stable disk with a little Anhyzer would also flip but recover,
So I tried some rollers.... and like disk choice for throws... Over stable into the head wind... Under stable away,
funniest thing I found... With a cross wind from the left.. to get a roller across the field... I found an over stable, forearm at 1 o'clock (that's leaning AWAY from the wind... )
The disk would land correctly with this (any more into the wind and the bottom just blows out and the disk goes splat.)
The disk will lean the top into the wind but want to sit up and blow away, the result is a fairly stable run leaning into the wind...
Going with a crosswind from the right... I threw another forearm leaning into the wind and had it want to turn into the wind, but bounce along with little hops...
Basically the result was there was some unintuitive things going on... but once I played with them... I found I could repeat some things in weather that usually had me throwing disks that sometime would go 90deg sideways and roll behind me...
If you don't like say.... northerlies... on your local... that's the day you need to go throw your bac and see what each disk does in that annoying "head/tail/cross wind".
Sometimes it even pays to throw the wrong disk (flippy into a headwind, stable in a tail wind) just to remind you why you don't... and also to show you... actually there's a neat trick... and i can repeat it... Put that in memory for that day with the weather no one likes... and surprise them with that 'miracle' shot that your muscle memory said... grab that disk and do 'this'.
Is the Fuse comparable to the Truth by the other company? The name of that disc "truth" is perfect it really does tell the user instantly what is going on very good learning toolkit disc IMO. And it WILL go far very easily - but only if you throw it totally on point. A fair tradeoff - I hope to get one of the Lucid versions. Those prime discs warp so easily.
Fuse is a tad more understable than Truth. Also, definitely get a Lucid version. Premium plastic is so much more durable. / Johannes
@@Latitude64 thanks for the valuable info and taking the time to reply.
Ni är bäst!
0:32 the Diamond is an 8 speed. Yall just outed yourselves 😂
Busted! 😅 We also have a Saint in one of our starter sets. So I guess I have to adjust my advice to "do not go over speed 9".
Where are the metal cuts from?
johannneneeseesses did a great job playing the role of johanthan
Johanenes!
Oh well! ❤❤❤
I exhale when putting, hard to be tense on an exhale.
Does anyone have a list of the songs played in this video?
Life lessons from 2 wise swedes
The only throw who matter is the next throw! That's a lesson a learn from baseball.
Love seeing johanes but I hope Jonathan is doing well.
Yes do 😅
Can you do another video with rules, but not the basic ones this time. Discs stuck in trees, lost disc on course (I lost my Diamond on a fairway), discs eaten by animals etc
Weird rules video. I like it! / Johannes
Oh well! Yep.
“It is that easy?”
“Sometimes ..”
I approach mistakes like this:
"Ok, that didn't go as I wanted to.. what went wrong?.. Ok, I was very tense and the pull through was not on the line I intended. Ok, next time I will put more effort to relaxing and throwing through the line of attack."
Cursing and calling yourself an idiot will not make you a better player, it will just lower your self esteem which actually will make you play even worse.
OH WELL...! *motto*
As a new and therefore bad player, having no memory is a beautiful thing
"Oh well!"
My tip for a round with pants that tight is don't put the snus in the front pocket of your pants where it presses against your thigh! 😄
😂🥰👍
Was the perfect tree hit on the first take?
Of course! But I'm not telling were I was aiming 😅 / Johannes
Be water my friend
I suck at forehand, it’s my nemesis
Oh Well 🤣😂🙃
Zen and the Art of Disc Golf, by Johannanesnanes
OH well HAHAHAHA
In the thumbnail I legit thought Johannes was Donut Operator 🤣
If you can be an "oh well" player, other players are more likely to enjoy their round. This leads to more fun rounds with fun people. Which leads to improvement in skill and mentality. Hit a tree? Ask, WWJD? What would Johannanesnanes do?
Preach! The older I get the more I can't stand playing with so much negativity. A quick burst of disappointment is fine, I do that too at times. But muttering for the rest of the round just sucks out all the good energy from the rest of the group. / Johannes
What's a straddle putt? Oh welll...
oh, well...

Jesus is King
Guys, I really like your videos and I think it's great what kind of help you give. But this doesn't take more than 7 speed is just stupid for me, I've been playing disc golf for 4 weeks and can throw over 100 meters stationary with 12 and 13 speed, that doesn't work for me with 7 speed. Why do you make the new players insecure? I learned to throw distance driver in 3 weeks.
There's exceptions to everything. If you're a natural at disc golf and enjoy and benefit from distance driver, you go for it. With that said, distance driver masks bad technique. So, if you would like to get good technique and master the game of disc golf, then starting with lower speed discs is a great idea. I'm not saying you have bad technique. But as a general advice I still think it is worth to spread. / Johannes
The word you're looking for is "maturitizationing." You're welcome.
Tip 1 is the hardest to follow....we all want to throw farther and of course that means a distance driver (not really....but that is what happens with beginners...and I'm was in that group.)
