Ugh I can’t tell you how many videos I’ve watched of Disc golf only to look down and see the time is 20-30 minutes. Short, sweet, and to the point is what I like.
I'm new to disc golf and have recently read that the disc is supposed to actually "rip" from your hand. Hold it tight, and the momentum of the pull thru and wrist snap should physically rip the disc from your grasp. Every instructional video says "release" the disc. Releasing implies that you are LETTING GO of something. So do you "release", as in let go, or does it actually rip from your firm grip? And if it's supposed to actually rip from your hand, would that not create a lot of extra friction thus slowing the disc? Everyone says grip it like you don't want someone to be able to pull it out of your hands. Well, I've got quite a powerful grip. Not even Eagles powerful arm speed and wrist snap would be able to rip a disc out of my grip unless I intentionally either let go, OR loosened my grip. Any clarification would be helpful. To add, I've only gone out throwing a few times. About 4 hours total. Also played 2 local courses with a friend who helped get me into the sport. I went from 100-150' my first time out, to hitting 300', and ONCE just shy of 400' on a drive in this short time. All of my throws have been released, and not physically ripped from my grip by the momentum. Coming from a baseball pitching background at no point does a baseball throw ever RIP from your grip. That would certainly cause major accuracy issues, and also slow the ball down due to friction. There must be a clear cut answer in disc golf also, but no one really clarifies it. Everyone just says release...release at 10 O-Clock. What I gather from your video here is that you let up on your thumb, and the disc snaps off your fingers, much like a baseball would roll off the tips of your fingers during a throw. Yes? Or do I grip it with my solid grip, and have it never actually come out of my hand? Lol.
great video. I just finally felt that snap. I discovered if you don't rush the pull through to the power pocket, but then accelerate from the power pocket as you are turning, that is when the snap occurs. It's such a different feeling than if you get nervous and pull hard immediately and basically have decrease speed at release. There is less back strain when you do it correctly also. Thanks for posting.
I've recently identified 5 components of my form that need to be fixed, and you just covered three of them! The other 2 are the brace foot and the nose angle of the disc; when I'm able to put all the pieces together, it's a thing of beauty and it's really what keeps me coming back to the sport. I've never heard of the pre-power pocket before, so that is a fun new concept I will definitely, 100% be overthinking in the field today 😛
I agree! I keep coming back to the sport for the same reasons. Yeah, Drew Gibson mentioned the “pre power pocket” in one of his videos. I struggle with keep the disc there. You can see Nate Sexton hit it everytime with his backhand. Hope field work goes well!
From experience, just work on nose angle until you don’t have to think about it. It makes the biggest difference and none of the other things will really help if the disc is nose up when you throw it.
@@thebr0wnhornet That certainly is true.. If the disc is flying flat it will go further by default. Nose angle is a huge factor. Agree, beginners should start there..
video about how to know which angle is best for each player? Like hyzer, anhyzer. Like I am more a hyzer kevin jones guy so should I stay like that or try to throw flat?
So, you know the secret to snap since you said no one else has told us this. Wow! You must be a fan of slingshot because he makes those statements all the time.
@@seekrdiscgolf I think you _do_ explain it better. I've watched countless of these videos and many of these free ones by you on RUclips have helped me and my friend Sean, when others didn't. Not necessarily the fault of others, but sometimes people need information relayed a certain way that click with them. You relate that very well, David. 🙂
@@seekrdiscgolf Explaining it better than anyone else is different than Secrets that no one else will tell you. 😉 Accurate, non-click-bait titles will help your channel in the long run. It adds credibility.
I'm glad you say the disc staying in 1 place and your walking around is an illusion but your left arm has nothing to do with the snap. If that was the case soccer players would swing their plant foot in the opposite direction of their kick foot creating a windmill. Baseball players would swing their gloved hand down and behind them for fast balls instead of into their stomach. Basketball their non shooting hand wouldn't be touching the ball at release. Football the quarterback would do same as baseball. And finally the best example simon lizotte wouldn't leave his left arm off the side of his body rotating with him like a trebuchet.
Left arm has everything to do with it actually. It's a unique mechanic you are completely misunderstanding. Simon would tell you 100% it's very much about the left arm
@@OneOfDaLast Simon uses his left arm like the weight of a trebuchet adding to his centripetal force. Not to generate power. You can tense the left arm to help tense your shoulder blades and the muscles of your back but that doesn't generate speed or torque. That aids in the centripetal force of your overall body rotation which in turn helps with power it's a unique thing to physics you don't understand. And since I am a mechanic by trade I understand how mechanisms effect each other. And as someone that had to study physics to get that mechanical engineering degree I also understand physics
@@theemonegro lol it generates tons of speed and literally is generating torque. My bad for replying to you as you are basically arguing with yourself lol. Good luck sir.

Gettin some tai Lopez vibes lol, “here in my garage, just bought this new Lamborghini.” 😂
Hahah never thought of that…..it is in my garage. Funny.

solid concise vid. well coiled machine.
My double move comming along, timming still a bit of a mystery. But I've got the left shoulder turn down. TY
Heck yeah ❤️

You got it!
dude, this is super good content! Great explanations and visuals.
Trying my best! Thanks so much! :)
Great instruction and your intro is 🔥
So, you know the secret to snap since you said no one else has told us this. Wow! You must be a fan of slingshot because he makes those statements all the time.
The production quality of the channel and videos are good, but the content is just not there
Thanksssss…? :)
Secrets that no one else will tell you taken from lots of other people that have already told you.
Haters gonna hate hate hate ;) haha nah But I like to think I explain it better?

Highly dislike rap intro music
Man….guess we have to find something else now.
It’s good. Don’t let boomers destroy it, they’ve already destroyed the earth!
@@seekrdiscgolf great idea!
Same here, not a fan of that music at all.
That’s because you’re ancient Gary.
However, the louder the snap noise the more the drag. The cleanest most efficient throws are actually quieter.
