Not trying to be combative, but having some knowledge of biomechanics I wanted to clarify a little about the UCL. The strain on that ligament is from the elbow leading in front of the forearm. It’s a good and bad thing, because it’s part of the whip you are trying to create with a throwing motion. More lag means more whip once the elbow stops, but it also means more strain. So it’s not good to bad, just a thing that requires consideration when you throw anything. This is true of softball underhand throws as well, but the velocities are much lower and the action on the shoulder is a little different. It’s also why velocity is the biggest predictor of UCL injury in kids, not whether they’re throwing fastballs or offspeed (another big but common myth). Hopefully this helps in the thought process for anyone watching, and I appreciate your video! Warming up is huge, whether you do that by stretching or lots of easy dynamic movement.
arch back, point belly button at target, use your abs to throw as much as possible. second nature to you, but others that didn't pitch in college could use that info.
Feel like thumbers are more comfy for me as I feel like I can control the pan a lot better and feel like the disc is more controlled and not as cork screwey. any tips for getting my Tommy to finish left harder ? Maybe I’m to over the top but the things never wants to pan and finish for me
Why would your Dr recommend tennis for an already existing elbow issue? Tennis is terrible on the elbows. Prob the last thing you want to do to heal an elbow. I'd look for a new Dr
@johnjenkins9445 I was a pitcher for 10 years and rarely had any issues that some ice afterwards couldn't alleviate. I played tennis for about 2 years and my elbow was constantly throbbing no matter what I did. Only way to rid my tennis elbow was to stop for a while. Not saying one is better or worse for an elbow, but neither is good for healing an existing elbow injury. Oddly enough, I haven't had pain in 2 years of Disc Golf. Some fatigue, especially early on, but never pain. I miss baseball, but probably too old to get back into it now, so Disc Golf fills that spot. Still get to throw stuff. I'd still advise lookinh for another dr who doesn't prescribe tennis as an elbow healing sport tho. Lol.
You don’t want the muscles and tendons to get weak with inactivity. A big part of physical therapy is actually strengthening those little muscles. As long as one isn’t trying to swing a tennis racquet like a pro, some light swings would be a good motion.
@@HARwinsOUTagainI totally agree with the "use it or lose it" addage. If tennis is the rehab of choice, perhaps staying away from Poly strings would be best. Maybe something with more give like Gut or Synthetic gut type strings would help absorb impact better?

Bama Represent!! Good Info. You're a Beast!
This was a fantastic tutorial, I never understood those throws
Thanks, good info!

that struck me a well, but i guess one could argue that tennis is much less stressful than pitching
