This I forgot to upload, for some reason, with the other 5 minute form checks last fall. I found it in my external storage by accident. So here it is.

I think one important point you mentioned is that he is always keeping his eyes/head/attention forward. I’ve seen videos throw some woods shots up to 350 with his eyes forward.

[@dgspindoctor]

Yeah, he's unbelievably good at those shots.

[@benharrison5816]

Simon's got that arm whip perfected. It's definitely best to practice the motion on short upshots, and 3/4 power shots first. I have the hardest time getting a deep power pocket on a full power shot. Working up to it slowly is helping break old habits though.

[@sarinhighwind]

His low power skill level is unmatched.

[@dgspindoctor]

I think so too. That's why I chose him for Finesse. But could have easily chosen him for high power shots too... Go figure.

[@artyomzakharov6869]

Love the summary at the end!

[@ContentsMayDiffer]

I'm very partial to Michael Johansen when it comes to finesse, disc choices and hair. He does the same thing for upshots and mids. Nice explanation as always, thank you.

[@dgspindoctor]

MJ is so cool!

[@jakemiller270]

This video makes more sense then "good form" videos on power shots because everyone moves differently when maximizing all their levers. Using control and touch is more universal and coachable since it is what is done most of the time.

[@dgspindoctor]

Great point!

[@OkieTradez]

love all the content..

[@baustin612]

The most interesting thing to me here is his footwork. His back heel comes off the ground essentially, the moment his front heel hits the ground. His back knee turns into the hit too. I've been trying to time the weight transfer like this and can't seem to do it, will keep working on it.

[@dgspindoctor]

It's easy when you stop thinking about the back leg. Just go forward and throw. It's like walking, you know. Your back heel gets off the ground as your front foot touches down, right. Let's not complicate things!

[@TheTeamdom]

Lovely! ❤️

[@OkieTradez]

i do know Simon said he thinks more about leading with his elbow until that laaaast second then pulls through the power pocket.. Ricky also mentions how he throws out his elbow first creating lag for the hand to be pulled through creating the whip but on a straight line vs a V shape line..

[@dgspindoctor]

Yes, but we're talking about finesse here.

[@NickCarroll]

I think I see what you're talking about here. Offhand, do you recall the video where he goes over that? If not, that's fine, I'll just have to look. 🙂

[@lancerobinson8738]

I can see how it would be easy to forget about Simon...not much to learn from there.

[@dgspindoctor]

Haha, yeah, I guess.

[@martinortiz7058]

favorite teacher favorite player

[@dgspindoctor]

Oh, you're too kind!

[@ryanfawcett33]

Jaani AND Simon in the same video?! This will be a good day.

[@ErnoAlias]

Form checkki itse Simonista, kelpaa 👍

[@Boltzi]

Simons left foot toes are pointing at the back of the tee here which is something every form teacher says is a fault. Interesting.

[@dgspindoctor]

Not every, mind you 😉. It is not a fault itself, but it sometimes indicates a fault in, say, the run-up or the coil. And if it turns to a heel drag, which it most typically does, then it is something to work on.

[@markus_lfc]

Thank god you made it, we would’ve missed you!

[@dgspindoctor]

It was close, though.

[@aleksi.niemela]

Moro Jaani! Asun ihan tossa kentän lähellä ja harjottelen välillä siinä, tuutko joku päivä antaa mulle pari vinkkiä ja analysoimaan miks en saa draiveria heitettyä 100m pidemmälle, enkä putteriakaan 70m pidemmälle😂 saisit siit hyvän videon kun kehitystä varmasti tulis muutamalla vinkillä ja lisäks voisit analysoida slowmolla teknisesti puutteellista heittoa

[@dgspindoctor]

Mä tulen kesällä Suomeen, niin voit ostaa multa valmennustunnin. Eiköhän se sillä lähde lentoon!

[@chiebert290]

all in one take. Well done. This was a great video btw

[@dgspindoctor]

Or using the magic of editing, who knows... Thanks!

[@mccsnackin]

This is not the warm beach 🧐

[@dgspindoctor]

But it has sand and trees, so I'll take it.

[@MusicGW]

[@dgspindoctor]

I made one with McBeth and patent pending: ruclips.net/video/vryspQkCOiQ/видео.html

[@MusicGW]

@@dgspindoctor how does he throw backhand

[@dgspindoctor]

@@MusicGW Incredibly well.

[@MusicGW]

@@dgspindoctor Do you have Any tipsa= how

[@dgspindoctor]

Yes, the whole channel is about how to throw the disc, and Paul throws pretty much the way it should be thrown.
