Thanks for the video! Funny thing: If you look your "weird throw" frame by frame, you see that your timing, footwork and powerpocket are still perfectly in sync. This just shows how really, really hard it is to throw with a false technique once you've learned the correct one. Keep 'em coming!
That's why it's a bad demonstration. It's not a weird throw because he still hits all of the lower body points despite adding extra movement. He's not actually eliminating any powerful elements of his throw despite that being the point of the demo.
Thank you Gannon. Very clear and concise. I incorporated your teachings today and I noticed how much more effortless it felt. You're a great teacher and hope you win more championships on the Pro Tour!
This is really great. I stand still shot and am stuck at 200- occasional 300. The 90 degree part is what is really helping me now. Thank you for the great video
Excellent video Gannon!. I am a long time disc golf promoter in Connecticut and I try to show beginners to learn the right way with the correct technique. That power pocket position in the backhand can really make new players get hooked on the game forever. Thank you again Gannon and may 2022 be your year to win some events on the pro tour. You have a great future ahead and your cool headed play will be one of the main reasons why you will be the next Paul Mcbeth. I am always rooting for you and I wish I could have you with me as I conduct disc golf demos here in southeastern CT. All My Best Gannon, Bill M.☺
I love it please come out with some more content about form. I thank you so really well at teaching form. I got it. I could feel the throw through you explaining what's going on in the throw
I think I'm doing what you do in the first example, with good footwork and timing but my arm and shoulders out of position. I feel like I throw fast, but still top off at about 350 but average between 300-320. You've definitely given me something to work on!
Would love a future video walking through the moments/queues from once you're into the power pocket to when you release the disc...this was great,, thank you!
Yo Gannon. I see you all the time at your course and you are impressive. Your playoff with Gibson was incredible. Best playoff I have seen. Good luck. And crush it
Subbed. Please more instructional videos. This is awesome. I've been following your progress for a little while now and it is awesome to watch you play, develop, and show success. Keep it up, man!
Hey Gannon great video!! I met you in Waco and watched you throw at Cameron then at the beast. Thanks for the video and keep them coming this is fantastic!!
Gannon you just hilarious but this video did really help I finally think that I understand what you do after you get into the power pocket and all u do is just extend your arm a bit and like a whip snap thank you so much❤
Great job on your first big tourney.. your going far, for sure.. i saw Emerson Keith's first tourney too.. it was great for a first run at pro... you were even closer... very cool.. great lesson too.. more please... looking for you to get a title soon...
enjoyed watching this guy make that long shot from the bridge at eureka .. Talked to his mom .. She was so proud of him.. Will enjoy rooting for him and his bright future ahead..
Thx for great tip that 90 degree! I noticed that I had that in my forehand and I throw about 90 feet longer than backhand. After this video I felt more power coming from backhand! 😊
I can't wait to see you out there killing it in my neck of the woods at the portland open in Oregon. Stay Burhly out there on the road and keep Givin it your best man!
Love it. Would like to hear more about how you involve the rest of your body. Shoulder turn. Hip turn. Timing. Power pocket only goes so far if you are just "arming it."
For the first time I actually think I’ve identified why I have a hard time throwing over 400 feet I believe really appreciate this video I hope to update you soon with a throw that’s over 400 feet and I’m gonna give you credit Gannon
@@jeffheyer7783 maybe if I was consistent with all my C1 and C2 I could flirt with that level of gameplay hahaha. Driving is flashy but putting wins! That’s why I just bought a basket cause my putting neeeeeeeda work lol. But honestly, it’s more of a casual thing for me. It’s a nice way to get out and hang out and spend quality time with people ya know
Hell yea Gannon! Question: Do you feel that you “push off your cross (2nd to last step) step leading into the power pocket?” If the answer isn’t yes how would you describe what you do with that 2nd to last step leading into the power pocket?
Thanks for the best video! For the power pocket how high should it be on your chest? I tend to throw below my chest like very lower chest. I think that’s affecting power
Super helpful, thanks man. Really been trying to work on my backhand and the power pocket is definitely what I have been trying to focus on. Its a super strange feeling for me to leave my arm pretty relaxed but I can definitely tell a difference in distance and snap out of my hand, really getting that whip feeling.
@@ryanr9299 Hey man, not currently. My brother and I both work at a ski resort during the winter so we aren't able to play. I have been wanting to do a bit of an update video on what we are working on in the winter (mostly putting, with some indoor throwing practice) but I haven't gotten around to it. But you saying something is making me feel motivated to do it. So I will hopefully finish it in the next week or at the most two.
@@ryanr9299 I was two weeks late, it took a lot more time to put together all the aspects of the video but I finally finished! Thanks for push! Hope your having a good one!
@ezraaderhold Would you add anything to what he said or say anything differently? It's always nice to have different perspectives even if it's the same content.
@@EzraAderholdDG Fair enough. It would be cool to see a colab with the two of you (or anyone else repuatable) where you only discuss the differences in you form instead of the similarities, and discuss why you do them and what benifit you think it brings to you. Most videos compare similarities, which is great for finding a foundation to build form on, but hearing your perspective on the differences could be just as helpful. Especially when comparing very different forms (Ezra or/vs Gannon vs GG, vs Eagle.) I think that makes great youtube content for you guys that could be very popular and insightful to us. Is that a possibility in the future?
Thanks for sharing. I've been playing for 3 years now and just barely get 300'. It's discouraging seeing 11 year olds at league night throwing 50' past my drives. I'm keeping at it though. Need to do something for exercise. It might as well be disc golf!
@@DanielMinottoII I was playing a dubs round and one of the people on the other team we were carded with was a 14 year old Asian kid throwing no joke 450'+ CONSISTENTLY. I hit 362' a few weeks ago. I don't think I'm going to just suddenly figure something out and rip one 450-500'. But just keep doing fieldwork and slowly work my way to 375...385...395...
Hey Gannon, we appreciate your videos and some tips. Let me suggest some things to make your video content stronger. 1). Record in landscape, not portrait. It was not easy to see the disc one it disappeared into the distance. 2) Consider using a microphone attached to your body. The wind makes it difficult to turn the volume up. We appreciate you and hope you continue to produce content for us.
Subbed! Always glad to see another DG channel. Hoping to watch you on many lead cards this year. You seem exceptionally grounded given your age. That lovely young caddy of yours must be very proud! Very smart to start working on your personal brand early!
Link in the bio next time Gannon? Even searching your name and driving in YT never showed this vid result. Anyway, love this. It’s something I’m really struggling with so this helps. I’m muscling the pull through (not awful). Any tips on staying loose and noodly? Is it about letting go and letting your shoulders do the work? I feel like I’m thinking about too many things-reach out, pull in to the pocket tight, follow through, don’t try, but try, pour the coffee, stagger your plant foot at 90, commit, don’t swoop, reach down and away, blah blah. Should I just standstill until I get the snappy pocket going?
Just started playing last year. I usually top about at about 300’ with hybrid drivers. Not sure if I would have the arm speed for more distance. Great video! Keep ‘em coming.

Was about to say the same thing. Gannon's "terrible footwork" is still pretty darn good.
Basically 300 feet is his worst shot not trying
That's why it's a bad demonstration. It's not a weird throw because he still hits all of the lower body points despite adding extra movement. He's not actually eliminating any powerful elements of his throw despite that being the point of the demo.
I'm sure you can give us a much better demonstration of a poor throw.
Moro jaani
This is such a great training video. No fluff.. No overcomplication.. No 17 steps.. Thank you Gannon.
Completely humble, and transparent. My favorite player to watch. Good stuff young man. Looking forward to following your journey this season.
I've always heard to lead with my elbow. Leading with the shoulder makes more sense to create the whip effect. Thanks for the lesson!
I’d love more instructional videos like this! You’re an inspiring disc golfer
So stoked about this. You're an awesome young player and I'm happy to learn from you.
Saw you play in Las Vegas. Really excited for the road ahead for you.
Thanks for helping us amateurs get better! Best of luck on the tour!
This is such a great way to build your fan base. Keep it up. Folks love to get a little insight into the world of pro players. Good luck this year!
Been playing about 18 months and I finally decided to really focus on the power pocket. Amazing the difference. Great video.
As your 83rd subscriber, I’m excited to see what you do with this outlet! Solid video, it makes so much sense
Love the soft flex with the “I’ll throw 60% and get around 500 feet”. Great stuff Gannon! Keep it up!
Thank you Gannon. Very clear and concise. I incorporated your teachings today and I noticed how much more effortless it felt. You're a great teacher and hope you win more championships on the Pro Tour!
That's the best explanation of the power pocket i've seen. Thanks Gannon!

Best and simplest explanation i have seen so far, good stuff.
You gotta do more videos on backhand form and distance, maybe with some different angles and slow mo breakdowns. Your explanations are awesome!
Hey gannon, I’m from urbandale Iowa and I’m coming to see you this weekend. Love the content and love seeing you grow in the disc golf world 🤙🏼
A great short video. Straight to the point. Amazing 🤩
I love it please come out with some more content about form. I thank you so really well at teaching form. I got it. I could feel the throw through you explaining what's going on in the throw

Thanks for the pointers dude 🤙 I can’t wait to give this a try
You are already one of my favorite players. Rooting for you.
Dude you are awesome. Funny, mature, talented as hell. Keep it up!
This was the first video that made it click. Thanks Gannon. Keep on keeping on.
Awesome video and thank you for the different examples.
This was awesomely compact, really good form advice!
Hey Gannon great video!! I met you in Waco and watched you throw at Cameron then at the beast. Thanks for the video and keep them coming this is fantastic!!
The amount of confidence you have in front of the camera at 16 years old is amazing. Let's go Gannon!
Keep these videos coming. Great work.

Get it Gannon!! Lil bro living large, don't stop til ya drop. Not like you'd have it any other way! God bless 🙌
Please keep making videos, this really was great content!!
Love this kid. The future of disc golf!!!! LETS GOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

Great vid! Keep em coming!!
Thanks dude you becoming one of my Favorite Players to see !
Subbed! This is a great tip, can’t wait to put it in to practice tomorrow.
Love it. Would like to hear more about how you involve the rest of your body. Shoulder turn. Hip turn. Timing. Power pocket only goes so far if you are just "arming it."
Great video man! This is pretty similar to how I explain it to people. Footwork means nothing if you can't stop rounding.
Great job thanks for sharing. My nephew and I are routing for ya! Got that inked D1
Love that you are doing a video in shorts when it’s freezing outside 🙌
For the first time I actually think I’ve identified why I have a hard time throwing over 400 feet I believe really appreciate this video I hope to update you soon with a throw that’s over 400 feet and I’m gonna give you credit Gannon
this definitely something I need to work on. thanks!
I have vacumed YT for disc golf content. And this still was helpful! Thanks :)
Great stuff!! I max out at 450ft, hopefully I can top it with focusing on not driving with my hand and arm but rather my shoulders 💯
I wanna see you throwing now!!
Pro tour material if that’s the case lol
Lighten your discs and learn angles ;)
@@jeffheyer7783 maybe if I was consistent with all my C1 and C2 I could flirt with that level of gameplay hahaha. Driving is flashy but putting wins!

It’s a nice way to get out and hang out and spend quality time with people ya know
@@petek7217 umm sorry but that myth is false there has been white paper studies that PROVES heavier discs travel further!
Thanks so much Gannon. 🙏🏻
Thanks Gannon! Even better, you did this video at Waterford! :) great tips! thanks!
Hoody and shorts while there is snow on the ground is about as Iowa as it gets. Love the videos dude keep it up!
Great vid! Would love to hear possibly little drills or exercises you can do at home to work on this technique.
Thanks for the explanation! I’ll be working on that.
Great explanation, thank you for the video
Great vid and explanation dude. As a heads up for future videos it's best to turn your phone sideways for maximum field of view. 🤘🏼😉
Thank you for doing this!
Yeah dude definitely more please!
Great video man keep it up!
I always pull with my arm, probably why I haven't seen the distance that I want. Definitely will practice this!
Practice spinning in a pool
thanks for the tips. I like the video
Hell yea Gannon! Question: Do you feel that you “push off your cross (2nd to last step) step leading into the power pocket?” If the answer isn’t yes how would you describe what you do with that 2nd to last step leading into the power pocket?
Great contrast 👍👍
Keep em comming man!
Thanks for the best video! For the power pocket how high should it be on your chest? I tend to throw below my chest like very lower chest. I think that’s affecting power
100% going to be trying this! I'm a new disc golfer and can really only get around 390ft max! I think this will help me a lot! Thanks for the vid!
Ur new and throwing 390?? That’s insane
@@danrockwell420 yeah I get it very consistently with my tour series force and nuke ss

Haven't seen anything this good since "The Box Drill" from Overthrow Disc Golf.
So excited to have Iowa representation on tour!
Thank you. Great video,
Leading with the shoulder to get the whip is the game changer.
Thanks Gannon!!
Good stuff bro! Power pocket 🔥

Great video. What I am more concerned about is whether using my shoulders to exert force will increase the risk of shoulder injury?
Great vid, ty!
Hey! Great video thanks!😊👌
Can you make a video on how to get the disc flat? 😊
I have a upnose problem😓
"480 almost 500ft away with almost no effort"
Dang bro I came to get flexed on! lmao thanks for the advice will definitely be applying it next time.
Dang. You are well spoken.
Just started playing last year. I usually top about at about 300’ with hybrid drivers. Not sure if I would have the arm speed for more distance.
Great video! Keep ‘em coming.
'You'll see that without power pocket the disc probably won't go anywhere' **proceeds to rip it farther than I ever have** 😅
300ft?
Nm if "gianne" is female.
(no offense, I'm a fairly large, strong male, and training to throw as far as petite pro females)
Great explanation, thanks! Now I understand that the secret to throw far is to wear shorts on a snow covered course... 🤣 Good luck, Gannon!
I actually struggle with after the power pocket. I would love to see a video that focuses on that.
Good video bro and cant wait to see content on your channel its gonna blow up I'll share it on my facebook page and the fort disc golf club
“Freezing cold Iowa”
*wearing shorts*
shit im in freezing cold wisconsin and I'm wearing shorts daily lmao
Thanks, Brother!
Excellent
