Is Robbie moving over to Foundation full time now or still doing Robbie C as well? Either way HANDS DOWN one of the best coaches on this platform!
Agree big time! A natural teacher and charismatic guy!
I hope he doesn’t move over completely, I like his personality more than the other guys…
@@ptomeo I agree, I like his individual channel a lot and the community surrounding it. However it's also good seeing him make appearances/cross-overs and I hope there are more :)
Lets just appreciate that Robbie C love's his Polecat, and that His Channel and Foundation Disc Golf are a perfect merger.
Great vid I happened to watch all 9 minutes in 2 minutes of release and now I throw 400ft forehands
Love my guy Robbie C! Always giving me some great tips even though I haven't played in a few weeks
Great video!! Clear and concise information. Keep them coming.
Love seeing more Robbie C!!
Great video. Good advice for those starting out.
Love this dude's energy! Great tips, homie!
What an amazing video, so much quality information in such a short amount of time.
Consistently the best advice, best explanation, and best delivery about the basics on CZcams! Love your videos, sense of humor and editing! Great job brother!
I came across this kid with an amazing forehand and asked him how he learned to throw that well. He said "I was told it's like smacking a booty" 😅
Love Foundation and Robbie!
I still recommend that "seated throwing" practice from watching your video about it long ago! It was such a vital component when helping me develop a better fh throw.
amazing video!
Hey Robbie- this is the best forehand throw video I’ve found. Your beginner videos have helped me a lot and you’re a great coach.
You makes things easy to understand. I've been sitting and throwing my fh into a net in my back yard. Been doing this for a few wks now since I saw your 1st vid. I'm getting better on the course. Doing pretty good with my approaches (100ft) but definitely suck when teeing off..... will keep at it. Thanks Rob
Thank you Robbie for making tis video. The sidearm throw is a very important fundamental to practice and learn. A disc golfer MUST know how to throw this type of shot. I will let you know my progress with a shot that I have so much to learn about. Practice is the key, and this video is a God send for me and countless others that want to be a complete disc golfer. Sincerely, Bill M.(long time disc golf promoter)
Always good advice, bud!
Robbie C to Foundation was the best signing this season!
Your break down on the advantages of learning how to throw under stable discs first makes so much sense. Me and a few buddies all picked up the sport in summer of 20'. And we all struggle with longer forehand shots because we had it in our heads that we need to always be throwing over stable. Thank you for the videos and I hope you keep up the good work!
That was the best forehand tutorial, hands down!!! Or hand up? Thanks!!!!
Robbie C. out here dropping that sweet, sweet science as usual. Great one! Going to go find a comfy chair and a comfy field now.
Awesome tips! Love seeing Robbie on the channel!
Videos like this just make me understand more and more that I need to stop playing by myself and find people who know the game and play it with them. Out on the course I get so in my head because I'm thinking of all the things I'm doing wrong. If I was getting encouragement and tips like this while in the moment and not while watching CZcams hours or days before or after playing, I feel like I'd catch on much quicker.
Loving the Robbie C addition at Foundation!
Great teacher
I started as a forehand dominant player and Robbie described me perfectly as the kind of player who struggled to get spin on backhands. I need to get some practice with understable discs in, never would have thought about that.
ok this video was awesome i love this guy
Robbie + Foundation = Best CZcams collaboration ever!
Robbie C making moves!!🤘🏻
I will give this a try. I've been terrible trying to learn FH, starting with the chair now 😁
As a forehand dominant player, here's another grip that I use for my drives. Instead of having the pads of my finger on the flight plate in a stacked grip, I rotate them so one is on the rim, and the other is on the other finger. I find this helps keep my hand from rolling and gives me better angle control than the forehand power grip while still being able to get max power when I need it.
Ezra to me that for under stable and upshots try to use less arm and more wrist. Best advice I ever got from an amazing player
This is great, thanks for the tips. Back to the chair I go.
Hi. I just watched your video and went out to a park and threw putters, mids, and drivers. The understables were more difficult to fly (kept rolling). Mids and drivers flew better than putters. I thank you for your lesson because I couldn't throw well AT ALL before your video.
LETS GO ROBBIE!!
Thanks the chair made a big difference. Still haven’t graduated from chair but now I feel it. Was wondering why mine always wobbled
Heck yeah!
Sweet vid
I love me some RobbyC!!!
I clicked this video thinking it was a Robbie C video. Threw me through a loop when the intro played!
I went out to the field one day and decide to focus solely on driving my hips through the forehand and it solved all of my woes lol It’s so much less arm action than you’d think
When I started playing (in the early 80s) NO ONE threw Forehand. We used two types of throws, backhand and backhand rollers. After decades of too much work and too little play, I am trying to catchup on this exploding sport and enjoy my time back on the course. Thanks for the help. My forehand still wobbles a bit from time to time, and my distance sucks, but Old Dawgs are still tryin to learn. Thanks Again.
I sometimes have great forehands, but my angle control is bad so my flats turn into rollers, and hyzers turn into flat. I did recently change up my grip to a modified power grip where both my fingers are on top of each other, but I think I just need to practice and lean over more.
Heck Ya Robbie C
Love it. Robbie’s older forehand video where talking about doing it while sitting is what taught me the most. I’ve been playing 10 months, and had Achilles surgery 9 months ago.
Because of the surgery I’ve become forehand dominant since an X step is tough for me right now. You are dead on about starting understable. I started learning with a “Scorch” and could throw it 260-280. Now throwing a Force and Venom 280-320.
Now, 80% of my birdies are with Cap Rap forehand tee shots 🥳
For me it goes back to my ultimate frisbee days. Whenever I think I am putting enough hyzer/io in ultimate/disc golf add alot more. I thought I was adding hyzer/Io and saw on video it was an extreme anhyzer. At that point I just learned I need to imagine I am trying to throw perpendicularly angeled to the ground and at that it was a solid hyzer angle in reality. To this day I basically lean perpendicular to the ground in my run up and my body corrects to a slight hyzer and flat shot. I just never never use anhyzer on that side cause that's what backhand hyzer is for.
Best tip I have recieved for forehands is Don't stay tight to your hip it messed up my shoulder and elbow until i found out you can "pendulum" swing and it allows for a lot more usage of room outside of my body and now i dont have pains but its not the furthest flying forehand. i can shape my backhand just like a forehand so it really does need practice. That tip I got From Stokely's videos.
To answer your question Robbie. The best tips I ever got for forehand were *here* in this video and Ryan Sheldon's forehand video. Let's go! czcams.com/video/sneF7YfEqns/video.html
Do you always use the side of your finger in the rim? i like to use the front/pad of my finger inside the rim so I can get much more range of motion with my wrist. More power with less effort because of better ROM.
I watched another video that stressed that we should not do the palm up throw, but throw it more like a baseball. What do you think throwing like a platter has?
One thing I've noticed while looking at the power/tee off FH form of top tier pros is how low they get with their body. They almost look like they are bowling with how compressed their knees are, bringing their hips lower to the ground. Many of them also seem to round their torso over the top of their throw.
I throw predominantly forehand and would say that once you get very comfortable with it one of the best discs to throw big distance is the star wraith
My forehand is not the best and I can still bomb with the star wraith. Literally the only disc I can get over 300 on forehand
So I don’t know that I’m rolling my wrist but I’ll pay more attention. What I’ve noticed w/ my form is I’m like a submarine pitcher extending my arm completely from my body. When I get my best drives I feel like I really swing my arm out from my body wiping the disc around either flat or on slight anhyzer getting real nice elongated s curves w/ a Zeus or NukeSS that can hit around the 400 mark. Only problem is my release starts from the right side of the fairway and if there’s obstruction down the right it can be a problem.
Any tips for 4hand on very windy days?
Can someone list some under stable and overstable discs for beginner to intermediate? For the forehand.
What you guys (or each platform) needs to do is let viewers know what disc (flight numbers and all) that you are throwing PER shot versus wind pattern per shot whether its approach and putt cause us rookies has no clue. I like how Jomez and others show what discs contestants throw but they only show tee off. It would be really noice to see a general idea of under or overstable disc to throw depending on wind reads. I am asking other vid makers to do that but will see if you can be the first to help out. Thanks.
best tip, is to kep your weight foreward to drive the disc forward and not up. helps a lot with nose angle
The "fan grip", or what I call throwing it correctly, does not lose power. I easily throw over 400' this way, and the split finger, what I call it, gives you ultimate control of your disc's angle. The"power" comes from your footwork, which I implement from my days of throwing the javelin, and the "flick" of your wrist.
This is the second video of "how to throw forehand" that I've watched in a row, out if curiosity to see if I'll pick up a little nuances tip, and I found both videos lacking in the approach and arm extention portion of what it takes to throw this way.
I stopped watching at 2:14, because it was clear it was a waste of my time
For anyone who use to play baseball, start your forehand form by mimicking how Randy Johnson used to pitch. It's not perfect, but it will give you the feel of a good forehand
robbie c reminds me of watching good eats with alton brown
So what’s the collab between Robbie c and foundation. Is he part of the team now?
Does an understable disc for RHBH become an overstable for RHFH? I get confused
When the hell did he start doing content for Foundation!!! I didn’t even notice it before I started the video
I am personally forehand dominant and what helps me with a flat release is to think of it as a sideways karate chop.
You missed a grip that’s becoming a lot more common. The Sexton, McBeth, Sheldon grip where the index finger is underneath the middle finger. I think Nate Sexton calls it the claw grip. Ryan Sheldon recommends it for max distance.
@7:33 LMAO 🤣
ROBBBBBBBBBBIE
Would have loved to hear you address flat tops vs a dome for forehand. Why are some discs tougher to forehand?
most likely preference per player, but you most often use your thumb on the top of the flight plate for a sidearm. I assume most lean towards flatter discs to forehand because you can get a tighter grip with the thumb and pinch more
Hmm "Increase Sidearm Distance - STOP Serving the Pizza" Stokely.. But my boy Robbie C, starts with throw it like serving a pizza! :) hahahahah
scott stokley said to not serve the pizza tho when throwing forehand. so palm up or no? conflicting arguments
Putters are rough to forehand. That lip is so hard to get off your fingers cleanly. If I have to forehand a putter I will use understable and crank that thing with mad hyzer release. Mids are much easier to get off your finger, and of course drivers are the easiest.
My best tip was when i played tennis!!!:):):):)
Slow down. Make sure you have the angle right. Any time I try and speed things up too much to “get more distance” I end up losing control and by that, losing distance
I dont throw forehand cuz it hurts my elbow to much so i do a chicken wing instead it has the same flight properties as a forehand tho. why no one be doing chicken wings :(
Interesting. I've played ultimate and freestyle a lot before getting into disc golf and find I hurt my inner elbow when I throw hard forehands in disc golf. People have suggested it's because I stop my arm after the release like you tend to do with bigger discs. I have a good chicken wing but never got big distance with them but I'll give it a try with the golf discs
SO MANY POLECATS!!!!!
This was weird. It was like watching a normal Robbie vid but it wasn't on his channel. Don't mind the collab though
I suck at doing the forehand…so I just use the tomahawk throw 🤣
Best tip... use a chair. 1nd best tip...end palm up
Robert C not talking California
Robbie A and B way better
this guy is so wordy, just get to the point bro
