I think this is great in theory, and maybe better for some people than others, but you really have to watch it with the ball. I just went outside and tried it. And I can't remotely do it. My problems are so ingrained, this became a health risk quick. There definitely needs to be care here, and it looks like you really need to let it hang and definitely keep the arm out as much as possible. Also maybe shorten the length by grabbing up more on the sock, closer to the ball. I love the concept though, and maybe with just a small towel it might be a good compromise to try. Or use nothing. But I'll be trying this another time with a disc when I go out and throw.
Ok kinda silly question, I have both lacrosse and tennis balls. Which would you recommend more? I’d think lacrosse then tennis because keeping the sock tense would be harder with less weight.
Respectfully disagree with this method. You lose all the elasticity of the "punch back". This works for tennis because your hit/contact point is on a lever that is a certain distance from your hand. This to me is slow and a cause for rounding. Will be agreeable this is good for approach/touch shots however.

"cool disc" as it just sails 🚀
Man! 20 years of coaching fastpitch softball and I didn't even think to translate the sock drill to DG!! Nice!
Tried this, put tennis ball through the TV screen in my living room. Lesson learned, make sure your sock doesn't have a giant hole in the toe.
Please tell me you’re joking
@@OverthrowDiscGolf As sure as I'm Abraham Lincoln, there is a hole in my TV screen right now.
@ my apologies Mr.President. I should have communicated more clearly in your presence
😂😂😂
Lol
Great video!

Astronaut was one of the few Active line discs I thought was well designed.
The "Why" here is missing in the video... Why this? Why snappy wrong?
Not missing. Intentionally left out. Sometimes you just tell students to do something they need to do without always explaining why.
Cool Disc... Lol. Idk why that got me.

Tennis balls
Just for injury prevention

Genuine question: how is the disc not on a lever that is a certain distance from your hand?
