    One of the very best throw fundamentals that there is. Thank you Robbie C. for making this one. With practice, practice, and more practice, this will become automatic in the correct throw. The 10 o'clock with the back of the hand is something I will stress to all players, especially beginners!. God Bless You Robbie C.!!! Sincerely, Bill M., lifelong promoter of disc golf and PDGA member!☺

    I am probably your most attentive student. And I am actually improving. I have taken on a different approach. It's the same as a ball batter. The batter holds the bat with just the thumbs and index fingers. Until the swing just at impact. I do that with a disc. Only gripping it with full attention while entering full swing. Kinda like a controlled rage. I really thank you for your time. People like me consume every word you speak

    This is a great/needed way to nuance this part of the form conversation. I won’t hit the field until tomorrow but I know that this mental shift is going to help. I used to go 6 to 12 (starting the lawn mower) and grip locked like crazy. Since switching to 7/8 to 10 o’clock and my new common error is a fluff (early release). I feel like this mental shift will help me find that balance. Can’t wait to try this out.

    Hey there, Mr. RUclips man! I want to start with a big thank you. This is my first year playing, and thanks to you, Overthrow, and Armory Disc Golf, I have gone from throwing a 45 over at the beginning of the season to a +3 on my most recent round. You are all amazing assets to the disc golf community.
    I was hoping you could help me bridge the gap between two of your videos. I believe I recently watched videos from both you and overthrow that both stated that you shouldn't "help the disc" out of your hand. It sounds like your grip pressure, speed, and spin should all work together for a release point at 10 o'clock, at which point the disc rips out of your hand. Am I correct here? It would be great if you'd release a video about bringing all the concepts of nose angle, launch angle, release angle, etc. together.
    Thank you for your content!

    This video really made a huge impact for me! Not necessarily the “back of your hand vs the disc” but the way you explained things together enabled me to realize a couple key things I wasn’t doing.

  • @iowastyle86
    @iowastyle86 8 месяцев назад

    I feel like this is definitely the correct way to think about it. When I started to focus on keeping my hand on the outside of the disc to start my throw and focusing on the back of my hand/ base of my wrist as the hit point. That has given me instant results and much easier distance and a much more relaxed throw. It feels much easier to think about that hit point and just allowing the disc to spin/eject naturally out of my hand. It seems to have given me an immediate boost in spin/speed and distance. You can feel the difference in explosiveness. I believe it’s because you’re allowing the wrist to open up naturally and it gives you the whip motion that you want. Great video! Seems like a great way to help explain the thought process to get your body into the ideal position.

  • @Boltzi
    @Boltzi Год назад +1

    Thanks for the video. I thought I might help you a bit with that airbounce. If you stop the video to your reachback and to your powerpocket, you notice that in the reachback the disc is at your shoulder level and in the powerpocket it is at your stomach level. This is because your elbow has dropped down. Keep the elbow up, maintain the 90 degree angle to your body and the disc should travel in a straight line instead of U-shape.

  • @benharrison5816
    @benharrison5816 Год назад

    Pimp **slap** at 10, got it! Filmed myself a few days ago from behind, and realized I was reaching back even past the 6 o-clock position to like 5 o-clock, getting the disc stuck behind me and muscling more than I thought, so I really gotta exaggerate reaching out instead and get that separation. I know I got mo powah!

    Thanks for clarifying. You are the first to do so. I guess that forearm is similar: the palm goes to 2 o'clock. The normal circular movement of the shoulders and the simultaneousl straightening of the wrist make the actual release be 12 o'clock.

  • @JordanBranham-b9b
    @JordanBranham-b9b Год назад

    Great video and insight. I have found the same in my form adventure over the last 18 months or so. I concentrate on throwing the back of my wrist to the 10 O'Clock position. If my form is correct and the wrist is somewhat loose, I hit the spot with the back of my wrist, the hand, and the disc SNAP and the disc goes exactly where I want with much greater distance and way less effort.

    I think the overthrow disc golf windwaker drill is in the similar vein as this concept. I’ve also found that by concentrating on the back of the hand, it helps “turn the key” which overthrow has talked about. Lastly throwing the back of the hand out there has helped me follow through on plane easier and reduced off axis torque. Great video and thanks for your content!

    If I am putting this together with a run-up which happens to also be on an angle to allow my hips to fully rotate back, what is the 10 o'clock relative to? My run up angle, or is it relative to the desired path of the disc? I.e. I want the disc to start its flight going 6 to 12 so I really focus on getting the back of my hand to 10 relative to that line? Also would you suggest doing this from a standstill first to get the feel for where 10 o'clock really is, then add this to a run up? Great video, as always!

This concept just seems to make more sense, especially for casual players like me. I also need to work on being more smooth and consistent with my release and stop trying to bomb every shot.

    • @NickCarroll
      @NickCarroll Год назад

      I think he a) cleaned the lens with a cloth towel and b) the sun was overhead and slightly behind him, so that creates a haze effect in the lens. When I film I a) use a lens wipe with cleaning solution, and b) ensure the sun is behind the camera. Another tip is to film as close to solar noon as possible, as that's typically the brightest part of the day, and the sun as highest in the sky as well. Makes for easiest filming conditions outside, typically.
