Okay, I've been playing for a couple years and my sidearm is non-existent. The whole sidearm throw like a baseball thing was something I've never heard before. So, I just went outside and threw the farthest sidearm ever into the neighbors backyard. I think I lost the disc, but it went about twice as far as I've ever thrown a sidearm. Thanks!
I have shoulder rotatory problem and had zero side arm . After attending Scott session I have consistent 250 feet sidearm now .. his points are too simple to follow
Duuude
Lmao. I did that with a Innova pro boss back in the day. Wasn't even mad I lost it.
Made this change and immediately added 75-100ft to my sidearm drives. Thanks, Scott!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!! I'm 66 been playing for about 2 years and couldn't throw a sidearm to save my life. Well you taught this old dog a new trick. I am now able to throw a decent sidearm that even my grandsons wow about. Thanks again Mr. Stokley.
Scott is the man!
When I first started playing I had read a book which FORBID everything but serving the pizza and I gave up on sidearm...until I saw this... This is a game changer for beginners.
Well done Scott!
That last tip about lining up sideways is likely my problem. Thank you for pointing it out
I think Trash Panda did a video on trying different suggestions to improve forehand, and when he got to your throw it like a baseball suggestion he said it was literally a game changer!
Woah, I've watched so many videos teaching sidearm and nothing has made sense till you. Thank You.
Instant Classic & Amazing content yet again from Mr. Scott Stokely. After watching this video I realized 2 malformaties with my sidearm. After applying "Stokely's" tips in this video. I added 50 feet consistently on my power forehand shots. You Gotta watch this video & apply Scott's tips. People pay for this content & we are so lucky too have Scott's videos. This is not a paid endorsement. "Dondo Disc Golf".
This is incredible to hear. I had a feeling “rolling the wrist” and “serve the pizza” may have been miss understood.
I always thought that my wrist was rolling over top of the disc. Never would have thought I was standing to the side. Thanks for this video!
You are my Disc Golf grounder.....when i feel off axis i just watch your vids.
I watched both commercials cos I knew Scott’s info was going to be solid advice
If I hadn't watched the big skins match I wouldn't have taken your forehand skills seriously, but seeing the distance and accuracy you displayed makes me hang on your every word regarding side arms.
No matter what forehand video I watch, I throw the damn disc into the ground. This video actually helped.
Watched again - still the apex of effective forehand explanation.
Just finished the Growing up Disc Golf audio book a couple weeks ago and now I'm throwing side arms in my game!! thanks Scott!!
Very good advice for many and I fully agree.
The one crucial thing to point out though is that if you are used to the "pizza grip" where your palm points upwards under the disc, but throw as a ball you will indeed roll your wrist and turn the disc over. Throwing the ball only works if you also have a grip where your fingers are pointing forward under the disc.
Just got to to his clinic is Akron and man I seen improvements putting literally 2 minutes afterwards. It was awesome to get to meet him and I recommend anyone to go to his clinics if given the chance. Everyone can learn something.
Looking forward to trying this, my sidearm distance is pretty much non existent.
By the way, to help with the CZcams algorithm it isn't just subscribing but also liking & commentating on the videos too. The more interaction CZcams "sees" on the video the more it will appear in other people's recommendations. At least that's what other content creators have shared previously.
Thankyou for putting that into simple terms and not using terms that only the person demonstrating understands. I'll try this the next time I'm doing field work.
This is great advice. This probably the biggest problem with my sidearm. The reason that teaching it like throwing a ball hasn't worked for me is because I throw balls left handed and discs right handed. If you told me to throw a ball right handed it would probably go 50 feet and I would look terrible. Trying to emulate a left handed throw with my right arm looks like I just got use of my arms after years of being paralyzed in them. Thanks for the great tip.
Austin Hannum does this sooooooooo good and makes it look effortlessly.
Thanks Scott 👍👍👍
Thanks Scott. I’m working on my sidearm this week. Since I’m 50 and my sidearm is kinda sucky…. I’m not usually a watching learner, I’m a try and fail learner. Your many questions at the beginning describes me to a t.
Why am I trying to learn my sidearm? EUREKA!
See you at Worlds!
Now that i am officially a weekend warrior (sadly) I had forgotten how to throw a proper power side arm… Until i saw this! The instant you made the third base side arm throw reference it clicked, i need not watch any further! Thank you Scott. Keep it up!
I started playing disc golf in 2015 after graduating from college where I played baseball and was a pitcher. I have always thrown forehands with a one finger grip and it has always puzzled me when people try to teach others to put fingers on the bottom of the flight plate for grip. A TON of people I know have do this and it makes 0 sense. One way I try to teach grip for disc golf is to think of your grip when you skip a stone. You want the pad of the finger on the edge of the stone, not under it.
Scott, your explanation here is EXCELLENT, and I will definitely implement it when teaching others. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and teaching style. We are blessed to have you freely share with the disc golf community.
Best dg technique breakdowns on youtube. Man is a legend. My sidearm is probably the best part of my game (which is barely saying anything lol), but I haven't really thought about it this way. I'll keep this in mind next time I make it out to the course.
This makes a lot of sense. I was getting so frustrated because when I first started playing I had a decent enough forehand (probably because I was just using baseball dynamics out of instinct), but recently I've been burning like 50% of my forehands into the ground and my good ones haven't been flying as far (as I've probably slowly gotten away from those original mechanics). I will definitely be trying this tomorrow.
Watched the DGLO coverage and then this video. Then, I went to watch the MPO highlights vid (Jomez), and this all clicked. I will definitely practice tomorrow, but that highlight reel showcases this particularly well. There's an FH from Dickerson about 5 shots in, and it's just a perfect representation of this. The rest as well, the camera angle on CD's shot makes it very visible. It's funny how the right combination of words makes things click.
The part about "rolling the wrist" is really going to help me. I came from a baseball background and I've always thought about throwing a baseball sidearm the way I throw my golf sidearm, except for pointing my body toward the hole and squaring up. That makes so much sense
I love how you use these ways of teaching the game it just clicks after you break it down
Sweet trying it tomorrow
Just stopped serving the pizza after 8 months of failing in sidearm. Gained 100+ feet instantly with less effort. Thanks Scott ✊🏽 Love your videos, keep chucking them discs 🤙🏽
Your teaching style is great, very easy to follow along.
Love the simple break down. It’s so eye opening the way you break this game down. Thank you for all the work you’ve put into this sport we love!
This may have just fixed my side arm drives... Thank you Scott for all the great content. Good luck in Portland, you're gonna shred!
Yep, it works. Best tip I have had to gain distance on my forehand. Thanks Scott.
What a perfect explanation of: Analysis Paralysis!
I now have that shirt. Hoping to now upgrade my forehand from "Servicable" to halfway decent. Haha thanks Scott!
Thanks Scott. Hands down the best forehand video...EVER 👍😀
Glad you're able to contrast disc golf technique with ultimate, it's helpful for folks that play both
Fantastic info. This completely explains why my run up forehand tends to tomahawk into the ground but my standstill forehand is money. I have a completely different body position which is not facing forward in the run up. Thank you!!!
This is good advice in ultimate too. Almost all of the best throwers in ultimate face their palm toward the target.
Good stuff, gonna be my field work tomorrow. Serving the pizza always felt strange to me, now I know why. Thanks.
This video changed my forehand forever. Thank you
Can’t wait to try this on the course tomorrow
Wow wow wow ..I don’t know how many times I watched this … back hand grip locked as nothing to do with ur hand it’s with your feet , forehand roll over has nothing to do with wrist it’s the direction of ur alignment.. thanks Scott 🙏
I broke my throwing wrist in 5th grade & have always thrown sidearm shots like this since I started playing disc golf in college. "Throw like a baseball" is an amazing analogy that a lot of people understand & they can figure out their own throw style from that pitch.
Ever play Tennis?
If so, you'd know that this is just like a normal forehand swing or serve (tho that'd be a Tomahawk lol)
Love what you are doing!!! Thank you for the access !!!
Keep at it please!!!
The reverend is out here spitting some gospel yet again! My sidearm thanks you sir!
So I went out and got a very early round in today after watching this video. Got my first ace ever today at one of my favorite colorado courses in boulder!!! Putting was on point!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!!
Valmont course or another?
Wish i had so good shoulder mobility
Scott nailed it. When I have a bad forehand shot it is from throwing across my body. Realizing this, I focus on my release point being off to the side and releasing earlier than expected. This earlier release point is actually where you have the most power. I was also doing a horrible job of following through with my trail leg, this was putting a lot of strain on my core.
Consistently coming out with the best tips that are relatable and easiest to understand! Thanks Scott!
Makes complete sense. I appreciate you, Scott!
This helps more than anything I've heard for a long time. Listen to it again, people. Thanka thanka.
Scott: Ruler of Reason. Because it always makes sense.
Scott's a great guy and has a natural gift for both making things accessible and adding a next level of analysis to all his lessons. Really appreciate it!
This makes sense. I used to have a great forehand when I started but I was throwing way too high. Once I started throwing lower I was throwing it well. But I made a bad habit of trying to throw low and messed it up. I have a pretty good outfield arm though and thats how I used to throw. I need to get back to that mechanic.
Been steadily improving my forehand thanks to your advice Scott, you're great at explaining things step by step.
I love and appreciate your videos
Your greatest range of wrist motion works the same for casting a bait casting fishing outfit, you cast with the reel handle up. Great tip
Awesome stuff. I have never seen anyone explain this so clearly.
This break down make a whole lot of sense to me. Look forward to trying this out tomorrow. Great job Scott!
Thank you Scott! Looking forward to increasing my distance. Makes a lot of sense!
Wow Scott your amazing, I love how you can explain things and it makes so much since.
This has been going through my mind a lot lately, but couldn't put it into words! Thanks Mr. Stokely!!
Amazing video, Scott! You did it again.
Informative and comprehensive, no unnecessary fluff
This man knows what hes talking about. I watched this video and went out and played a round and came up on a hole I always throw forehand on. I went through the motions a couple times and ended up throwing an absolute bomb! I out drove what was my previous personal best with a wraith using my sidewinder! Thank you so much for the video Scott.
Thank you so much for the videos! These help so much!
I am a predominately forehand player and can throw 450+ sidearms and backhand like shots on sidearm and you are the first person that finally got it right on how to properly throw the sidearm. This is how I generate my power on my sidearms and I can confirm Scott is 100% correct. Finally someone on an instruction video got it right!! 🙌🙌. Also I want to add footwork is key to my Power. Some might not need it but when I use my legs to run forward while shifting my weight like I'm throwing a ball from center field to homeplate; this gives me the most amount of power. I'm only about 5'7 5'8ish weigh about 140 with short arms and can still throw the disc far because of using proper technique similar to what Scott is teaching. Also if you have fast arm speed make sure you use more stable high speed disc like the boss destroyer wraith zues force nuke etc. If I want to turn my discs from right to left I use more understable discs like the sidewinder; or undertaker.
I integrated this technique into my sidearm a couple months ago. Sidearm instantly became more confident, flew further, and was more consistent. Awesome tip, very well explained.
Scott, let me say that you are awesome and one of the best ambassadors of the sport. Keep doing what you do! Thanks for the tips btw.
You Mr. Stokely are a gift. My game has improved so much when I found out your videos. And also, that skins match throw was a work of art. Much love from Finland Scott!
Dude you nailed it! Well done as usual and Thank You for your time, experience and caring.
Thank you for sharing this!! One of the best sidearm explanations ever.
Scott is a Genius. He really understands the physics of disc golf. I went to try out this techniques and just came back from the course. My forehand flicks just improve so much.
That’s so funny you have this out now. I totally realized on my own that I was doing better standing straight rather than sideways, and you just verbalized what my mind was trying to sort out! My side arm distance has been increasing too!
Absolutely perfect tutorial sir!! You are a legend
I honestly have only been playing for a few months. But I feel like this video completely changes my view on the forehand. I can’t wait to get on the course and practice this.
Ha, literally just bought that shirt and disc. Thanks for the great instruction.
Great video Scott!
Mr Stokely thank you for the helpful information.
I ALWAYS come back to this whenever i get my forehand form in a slump! THANK YOU!!! Scott you breaking it down baseball style is what was a huge drive for me in disc golf. I played baseball my entire life and my forehand has been a bomber since day 1 of playing. Your video unlocked so much whenever I started and I always come back to remind myself of all this! Merry Christmas to anyone who see this and keep with it! These videos are gold!
Great vid man. So glad to see you out competing!
Scott, I just vent to a field nearby and my distance doubled... You're such a legend
You have changed my forehand game!! I have always been a good backhand player with a liability as a forehand. I made a conscious effort to practice what you teach every day for the past week. I’m now throwing further and much smoother stand still that any forehand I’ve ever thrown. I’ll be adding the run up soon.Thanks Scott!
Love your common sense approach… thanks so much for the help. Really great instruction.
This is the video I needed. Cheers Scott.
This is incredible I’ve been playing for 7 years and you just increased my forehand distance by 50 feet I am genuinely in shock I have been throwing sidearm wrong all these years but you have convinced me as the results don’t lie.
I’ve learned more in 3 videos than two years of playing. I don’t know why this never clicked in my head but thanks for the explanation. I routinely was throwing facing sideways and wound up serving the pizza to correct it. Now I’ve started to implement this and it just feels so much more natural
GREAT video. Most helpful I've seen for sidearm
Thank you Scott for your dedication to growing and teaching the game… hope to meet or play a round someday!!! 🔥🤙🏻
great tutorial scott thanks for that ive been wondering why my sidearm stopped gaining power this is definitely why
WOW!
Being a RH FH dominant player, this makes so much sense. When you started relating it to baseball ( i was Left Feild and center/ shortstop backup), i see your point.
I've been throwing my putters and mids on that correct hinge....but been throwing drivers like im serving a pizza. Lol
Absolute gold! Thanks!
Hey Scott thank you so much. I habe been struggling with my forehand for years and this video gave me a serious breakthrough and the confidence to use the sidearm in the game.
It is truly liberating to use the wrist in the way it naturally moves. Like skipping rocks on a lake!
Great content, will be applying this. Appreciate you sharing your expertise!
This video is a game changer. Going to put this into practice first thing tomorrow. Thanks Scott for continuing to help us learn proper mechanics and improving our rounds of disc golf!!!
Excellent advice from a side arm master here. Thank you sir!
Practiced this for a few throes and my disc keep gaining height and no real distance. So I resorted to practicing backhand thinking forehand wasn’t for me and I tried forearm again and It started going super far and my cousins (we are all beginners) we’re amazed so I showed him this video! Thank you.
I tend to also throw to the left and over when I release late- usually when I'm trying to throw farther than I'm comfortable with. But the tip about facing forward is still great for correcting that issue. I wind-up farther back behind me to throw farther and I do think I can end up throwing across my body that way if I'm not careful to face forward on release.
