I have only just started this mad sport and today Iam going to the park to practise this drill.
I find back hand easier , so I need to work on my forehand
Really good video and style of teaching ...thanks
@@DigbyGrayston very welcome:)
Gonna tey these tips tomorrow! Im excited. Thought i was weird being a forehander
@@EazyCash1993 haha lol. I use the forehand a lot, hope it all helps ya and you see a difference.
Thanks for starting the forehand series! Great stuff! I look forward to hearing more drills.
Awesome, your welcome, thanks I’m working my another drill, not sure when I will post another video I’m super busy this week, hoping to get one in
OK, I admit there is 'Lots to Like' here because it's what I teach too lol. 1. YES get that pad of the middle finger jammed into the rim, (not the side of the middle finger!). 2. YES, get one of those 3 grips working comfy for ya: Stacked or Split or 2 fingers. 3. YES do NOT turnover your wrist....keep your hand upside down like serving a plate to someone. 4 YES start at the END of the throw. Easy does it and no walkup even. Just flick it out there to get that flat flight with no wobble thing down pat. 5 YES, lead with your elbow and 'flick' it off the middle finger last. 6 YES power comes from the flick and the easy flat throw, not the run-up and trying too hard. 7 YES the more hyzer/under the release, the more understable the disc. The more Anhyzer/over the release, the more overstable the disc so it will come back for you. YES this is a Great video.
Thank you, 😊 have a good one :)
Love your videos. They have helped me so much. Great practice plan’s after work, then put the practice into action on the weekend at the course. Shedding numbers every round.
Thank you, that’s so cool to hear. It’s a great feeling to keep lowering scores. :) keep up the work.
That is just what i needed. I've been working on my forehand but the wobble always gets me sooner or later. Just went out to try the flick with no approach and was throwing with no wobble all within 10 ft from each other. I'm looking forward to practicing this then work on more distance. Keep the tips coming much appreciated.
Sweet, glad to hear you benefited from video. Super cool 😎 to hear. Keep up the work, and I’ll keep the tips coming lol 😆
thanks i can tell you put a lot of time and thought into it.. youre a great guy!
Thanks man love hearing positive feedback hope it helps ya and you can shave strokes off your game
Another great breakdown that is easy to follow and easy to apply. Cheers.
Thanks 😊
Looks like a good first step, I'll get back to you after some field work. Thanks!
Sounds like a plan :)
Awesome video thanks for the help
Subbed a few videos back, been working on my backhand and have seen some improved distance after following your advice. Have struggled alot with my forehand, will be following along for the series.
Thanks
Thanks for update, thanks for subscribing, much appreciated, I got a busy week I’ll try and get something out this weekend
Bruhh this is a game changer for me. Thank you!!
Awesome, that’s fantastic to hear glad it’s working for you! :)
Great throws!
Thanks for making these!
Very welcome
So stoked your channel was recommended! Already applied stuff from your other videos, so i'm sure this one will be A1
Awesome thats what I like to hear, lol I’m hoping it all works out for you and you see a difference
Thanks 😊
Great tips. Trying to learn forearm technique and grip to eliminate wobbly throws makes sense.
Thanks:) hope all goes well it’s a good tool to have in game
Thanks for the video, working on my forehand as well!
Sweet, it’s a good tool to have in the bag :)
pretty much what Scott Stokely teaches. good stuff.
Thanks:) I like Scott
New to disk golf and this was super helpful! Thank you!
Very welcome! Happy to hear
Can’t wait to try this
Hope it works well for ya
Nice video, went out to the field before work today and threw a few dozen flicks and got the wobble out. Discs go straighter, whee!
That’s fantastic
Thank you 😊
I’ve yet to incorporate a forehand throw in my quiver, but thank you for this tutorial. I’ll give it a try. 💪🏼
Your welcome, Let me know how it goes:)
You bet. I’ll keep you posted. 👍🏼
Thanks brother! Looking forward to trying this out today.
Let me know if it works for ya! Hope it does
Your welcome
Thanks for the tips man 🙏
Welcome 🤗
Great stuff here! Team sidearm
It’s how I started, all I threw was forehands for 2 years. Team sidearm for sure:) 😝
I've never tried the grip you use. I use the stacked grip and I get a lot of wobble. I've never tried this drill you show here. Really good idea. I will try this next time I do field practice.
It works for me. Hopefully it helps you :)
Good stuff bro, Thanks for the tips. I usually throw backhand, but it takes a toll on my shoulder & elbow. Have tried the forehand a few times & noticed I get a lot more distance.
Thank I have always gotten more distance on my forehand up intel a year of so ago. I like having both options but some would say my forehand is my strong part of my game
Gonna go out and give this a try. My buddy been trying to teach me but the wobbles is definitely a issue and grip since I’m used to backhand so much
Hope it works out for ya
I know I’m like 8 months late but you just got a new subscriber and great video just basics so yup I’m hitting the field after work to get my forehand better before Sundays bag tag tournament for me
Awesome sweet, thanks. Hope it makes a difference for ya
I hurt my arm a couple weeks ago and forehand was more painful than backhand. I am slowly trying to use them again now that I am fine. Thank you for the video
Welcome, yea take it easy and don’t overdo it, lol I did that when I had tennis elbow and it didn’t help anything…. I wanted to play so bad I didn’t care lol 😆
Great video
Thanks
Thank you, sir. To the field tomorrow morning.
Let me know what you think and if it helps :)
I just started really playing this year, and have been trying to figure out why I struggle in the (RH) forehand with understable discs where sometimes (usually when I’m trying to throw it hard) they kind of turn left and then sort of flip verticle and ‘knife’ toward the ground. It hadn’t occurred to me that I might be turning my hand over like you said, more like the throwing motion I’d use in other sports. Thanks for pointing out that potential cause for me to look at and fix!
Your Welcome, I’ve gotten better lately at forehanding less stable discs, it definitely took some time for me, I hade to do some field practice and try throwing different disc stabilities with different angles. when I started it was always an over stable discs on an anhyzer. I bet with some practice you’ll get it down :)
I have the exact same grip and I do the finger flick at the end as well. As a 50 yr old, I only have 350’ or so but I’ll take it. No wobble either 👍
Sweet, 350 is a good forehand to have, most courses that’s all you need, lol
good video, thanks
Thank you, and your very welcome :)
That's ridiculously smooth for a forehand. I feel I'm getting better at them, but I'm scared I'll pull my shoulder out of its socket... so I stick to little shots under 50 metres, 165ft.
It’s a throw that can lead to injury sooner If done incorrectly but if you find a way to do it correctly I believe it’s a great tool to have in bag lol
I needed this video today, now to the field to try it out, hate my wobble
Awesome 😎
Just try and focus on getting the disc to push off the middle finger or middle finger pushing off the disc with a little pressure. Imagine your middle finger cocking back then pushing forward. Usually when people are wobbling it's mainly because of their grip and release.
A lot of pros advise using the torso to angle the shot, not your arm or wrist
Good stuff
Thank you
putting ring finger on the rim is what I was missing. Thank you
Very welcome 😊
Any chance you could put out a video of what proper form looks like in very slow motion? Thanks. Great video.
Yeah I’ll give it a shot 👍
So should the wrist be straght up and down almost like you're going to slap somone? In otherwords should your thumbnail be pointed straight up towrds the sky. Naturally my wrist when throwing power grip is in this weird 3/4 state. Its like a hybrid karate chop/ slap. Could this be causing off axis torgue? When doing this motion without a disc i notice my middle finger raises up off line? Thanks
My thumb is more so up towards sky, but yes like slapping someone would be a good way to think about now turning your wrist over. It maybe causing off axis torque, I don’t notice my finger doing that. I would try playing around with different follow throughs and changing some angles until you find that sweet spot, I hope this helps if you want a more in depth video or have and questions you want me to make a video about let me know :)
Thanks. I love the drills part rather than just "do it like this."
Isn't it Stokely that pushes the "flick?"
@@brokenrecord3523 your welcome, that sounds right but not 100% on Stokely with the flick
@@DiscManiac28 my bad - He calls it snap.
Is that the same as your flick?
@@brokenrecord3523 not sure, probably. I could see that being the case
subbed, thanks
Thanks for subscribing 😊
I've seen a few others recommend using understable discs when fixing forehand wobble but I can't remember exactly why at the moment. I know Robbie C recommended it, but I can't remember who else
I’m don’t know if I’ve seen them, I’ve always used overstable discs I think it’s just the way my form is. I can thro less stable discs but not as good with them
Forhand is weakest part of my game. Practicing your drill tomorrow. Thank you.
Welcome hope it goes good for you 😊
Is your arm pretty loose, without any tension, when reaching back? My wobble seems to stop when I'm superloose reahing back until the point of the flick/release. At that point I will apply pressure and hold the disc tighter. Not sure if I'm loosing distance that way.. Great vid btw!
Yea it’s pretty loose on way back, when it comes forward I use more muscles so it does get tighter in that sense but it’s still not ever really tight, if that makes any sense lol
Thanks 😊
4:37 "Crow Hop". I'm playing with it on my backhand... Trouble is it's almost impossible to do when you try to think about it... but if you just rock up and do a little side step you just do it...
Brain getting in the way of instinct again I guess...
Yea I can see that, it was funny I wasn’t sure what I was doing because of instinct so I had to practice a few to notice what I was doing lol
I struggle a lot with a wobble. I use that same power grip. The disc wobbles coming out of my hand then the wobble is gone by mid flight. I throw flex lines a getting 330-350’ out of my honors and felons. Yea that’s great an all but I can’t seem to get rid of this dang wobble no matter what I try
It’s a tricky thing it’s hard to pin point what is causing it. I know for me I struggle with putters and mids and I think it’s about a clean release and a good grip helps with that, also the relationship your arm has with hand and disc, lol I’ll try and make another video about forhands and maybe it can help, 🤔
@@DiscManiac28 I struggle with mids an putters as well. Thats why I use a glory as a mid. lol actual mids I basically overpower an they just don’t fly at all. What’s your instagram? I can send u a few videos of my throws maybe u can see something an be able to fix the wobble
What elbow brace are you using?
It’s just a copper fit sleeve and other times I use a compression band that velcros on my elbow
@@DiscManiac28 I've always wondered about these, can you articulate the advantage of them? What would you tell someone is the advantages of them so they might try one? Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
@@robertjones1730 I got bad tennis elbow and it’s not near as bad now but I wear them now as a precautionary, to help prevent future pain
Just beginning. Is a beast a good forehand disc?
Depends on your style, it’s normally a pretty neutral disc so if you release it flat it should be fine. If you have a wobble problem throwing putters and mids seem to be a good approach
@@DiscManiac28 that would check out, because my mako3 is my favorite. I throw it very often.
@@davidherlein6068 I like the mako 3 reminds me of an md1
i would even suggest to start with putters or mids and try to throw them dead straight. practive throwing them on hyzer and getting them to flip up to flat and not turn over.
I like that, may have to use that in future videos, I recommend it for back hands not sure why I didn’t with forehand’s lol
@@DiscManiac28 yea, it makes sense for both back hands and forehands. i learned the hard way and was injured from starting out with the bad habit of throwing overstable discs on anhyzer. Learning to forehand putters and mids helps create better form habits and speed control. i used to always pull out a firebird or something beefy to throw forehands but now i go to mids and putters for those same shots. it gives you better touch and angles control.
@@NoChairs4 LOVE IT great points
I am a dominant forehand thrower. I don't have problems releasing distance drivers but I always have wobble with putters. I actually throw a pinch grip with my putters because I can't figure out how to make them stop wobbling
Putter and midranges are harder for me too, I had to practice on the torque I was putting on them cause they would turn over so much. Maybe that will be a good video to me to do next it midranges and putter with forehands
I change my grip too, I go to a stacked grip when throwing mids and putters
@@DiscManiac28 my putter throwing is super weird 😂 I use a pinch grip with no fingers under the rim and somehow it works really well up to 200 ft
@@matthewwilson7802 oh wow… that is weird lol 😆
Gotta make sure to always throw the putters with a little extra nose up as well :)
When I throw my disc I usually don’t get too much wobble but no matter what disc I throw it comes down super hard almost on its side… what am I doing wrong?
Is it turning and rolling or is it at end of flight?
@@DiscManiac28 at the end of the
Maybe it’s the discs I’m throwing 🤷♂️
The disc maybe to stable of a disc, I would try different discs and see what happens
@@KaiAndOlliesAdventures1973 it’s the easiest thing to rule out, if it’s not the disc we can move onto a different variable
An effortless forehand.
Can I just hire you and sub you in when I need a forehand shot? Lol
Lol haha
I load my middle finger and snap it forward.
"little flicks" proceeds to throw it 300ft 😂
Lol 😂
That little flick is no good for me it makes the disc go way hard right everytime no matter what. I focus on smooth clean follow threw and that s what works for me.
@@freeskypainter1145 that’s awesome you tried it, now you know what works for you, if you get a clean release I would stick with it
I am Finger pusher 👉🥏
Effortless will be just throw it high nose down split finger with a beat in destroyer or new zeus or shryke
I can release on slight Annie flat and slight hyzer all 400ft. But I'm not good steep hyzer at all because I depend on the little flick alot
I run up and stomp my left foot hard as I can. Sometimes I slide but still clean when I do
Cool! Looks easy but probably isn't. 😂
Lol 😂
They always make it look easy! My forhand blows. Definitely going to practice
@@joshuahaught4812 my “backhand”blew when I started throwing it but I stuck with it and practiced, it’s way better now. You just gotta do that with forehand. My backhand was my weekness
Leading with elbow isn't something I would have someone focus on. That's just asking them to get hurt, especially with people who aren't used to throwing forehands already. Eagle still throws 400 and doesn't involve his elbow anymore
Eagle is an Anomaly, I don’t wanna get people hurt they should listen to their bodies but if your wrist is in front of your elbow I don’t know how you would be able to throw it.
@discmaniac28 saying "lead with the elbow" can definitely be dangerous as once you start consciously pushing the elbow first you can get injuries.
You want to make sure that your hips are leading. Turning the hips first leads to a little elbow separation, where the elbow and the arm lags behind. This allows you to get good arm speed without using the wrong muscles/motions.
Eagle still leads with the elbow watch some slow mo
@@Picklemedia remember what happened a couple years ago... Lol I don't think eagle was a good example
@@addisonr2 name a pro that doesn't lead with the elbow. I will wait
you’re planting a hair too early, promise.
Effortless.. While wearing an arm sleeve. Obviously not. No hate, but why does he wear it?
Tennis elbow probably
I'm new to the sport, and I have hyper extended my elbow a few times with improper form. As my form is getting better, my elbow isn't hurting. I still wear an elbow brace to not aggravate it while I play
My job is physically demanding and I got severe tennis elbow a while back. I couldn’t make a fist or turn a door nob, it was bad. it’s better now I had to take 3 months off and be on light duty, I wear it now for precautionary purposes. I don’t want it to flair back up. I’ve read it’s easier to come back up if you have had it before. That’s the reason
Just because I wear a sleeve doesn’t mean my forehand isn’t effortless.. it’s not what caused it
@@DiscManiac28 I kid. You gave good tips.
My elbow hurt watching this lmao 🤣 I need to wrap my shit up for forehand shots
Lol 😆
Just get the basics down and go throw and throw at a park... There's no way your brain is going to remember the 8 things you have to do in 3 seconds at the perfect time... Just get the basics and build your muscle memory
