Im just finding this channel and wish i would have sooner! please bring more content...im interested in hearing how to really hit the brace and know your in the brace, then maybe an in depth feel on the arm mechanics, I feel like i do everything right until right at the hit point. Thank you sir, keep killing it!
I've always struggled to get the towel to actually snap and it just clicked when you said it, I'm rounding off the end of my throw. These drills should help, thanks!
I think this is the only way I will break my habit of rounding and pulling low. When I started in 2006 I had no concept of how to properly transmit hip power up the chain. I can throw with this form passably...@350 max, but of course it is less consistent and leaving a lot of power on the table. Thanks for this!
Thanks for the content. I was hesitant at first because there is so much out there but there some gems in your videos. I like how you focus on how it FEELS to throw correctly. That's a hard thing to teach and probably the most important thing! Focused hips/footing drills you recommend?
Questions for you: 1)In a physical backhand throw out in the field or on the course, does your elbow bend NATURALLY once you brace on your plant and your body starts to rotate which then flings the foream through the shot? I know drills are usually performed to exaggerate specific motions or mechanics of the throw. Wondering if by me physically bending the elbow when I throw may accidentally engage some of the muscles in my bicep and makes my arm move a lot slower going into the power box 2) When you brace, are you pressing downward into the ground more on your heel or do you feel like you are almost pressing your toes forward (as if your foot would slide out of the front of your shoe conceptually speaking). The latter to me feels like it forces more engagement in the quads and perhaps a stronger brace? Sorry for the long wall of text!
The elbow kind of naturally bends as you rotate through the shot. Just focus on keeping the arm up and away from the body. When you brace, you should rotate off of your heel. It is harder to rotate off the toes.
@@iamRedviper Thanks for the quick reply! My body currently rotates off the heel naturally after the weight transfer to the plant foot but i have been making my arm bend into the plant rather than letting it naturally get there.. if that makes sense. I'll give it a try 🙂
Would you suggest keeping the shoulder closed and "elbow up" as best as possible when you rotate into the shot a good starting point? Because i would guess that the angular momentum upon the brace would make your shoulder naturally open
When should your back foot leave the ground? I notice the best throwers like kyle and eagle lift their back foot off the ground before they pull thru? I guess it's hard to emulate with this drill and others as well as a stand-still. I believe a lot of power comes from that full weight transfer onto the plant. I haven't found a way to practice that tho.
Don't think about lifting the foot. It's all about using the neck foot to push your body to generate power. You leg naturally comes off the ground during the throw. Wouldn't even think about it.
Question. I notice when you added the disc to your hand the final result leaves your hand a disc length off the wall. 4:03 but without a disc your hand was on the wall at the finish. Does this matter?
Lean forward, upper body angle controls the angle of the disc in the end. If you are accidentally throwing anhyzers, your upper body has to be leaned back. Film yourself and you'll likely see this is true.
It's not exactly perfect on how your arm is going to travel every time. It's pretty close though. It's really about getting the feel of what the throw really feels like.
Hey Coach! Huge fan and love your content and it's helped me tremendously but I'm having some issues with my form. Is there anyway you can help me personally? I would appreciate your feedback! Thanks B
Your hand may not follow the exact line, but this drill helps you to feel that you should not be pulling your hand away from line. Have to allow your arm to unwind after the power box without pulling your arm off the intended line.
@@iamRedviper Yep I find that towards the end of most throwers drives that before the disc releases as your hand and arm unravel the disc moves a lil bit away from the line. no need to worry
Yeah, i am personally not a fan of it. At least the one that i tried. Just didn't flow well with the throwing motion. Maybe the length or something. I guess some people like it.
I'm a novice, but your towel snap sounds like a whoosh to me. I was expecting a snap like when you snap a wet rat-tail towel or crack a whip. Is it just supposed to sound like in your video?
It's not an absolutely loud snap. It's going to depend on the towel. It's really just a drill to get the feel of the throw. Wouldn't look too hard into the snap of the towel.
I like to whisper to my discs right before I throw them, that they will end up in the used bin at Play It Again if they hit a tree. Works most of the time.
@@iamRedviper completely joking there was a time when I hated the electronic drums for the last that I played had really good action and sounded amazing!! I was just giving you a hard time!! You'll be awesome if I could really talk to you because I've been giving lessons for almost 8 months now and I've been wanting to put stuff on RUclips But any other word that I can use to describe how I feel about it is I'm scared to put my videos on RUclips!!
@@olddognewtricks2818 Yea, I know you were joking lol. I was too. The main thing about uploading anything to youtube, don't have any expectations, and don't care if other people say anything negative to you. Just have fun with it. At the end of the day, if you are not having fun, then why are you doing it. I actually enjoy making these videos. It allows me to learn new things and be creative. If somebody learns something from it, then that's great. At the end of the day, I just want people to enjoy the game as much as I do and be able to play the game at a higher level.

I've seen this wall drill plenty before...BUT, the three electric tape points are genius! Thanks.
I feel like I need to pay you for these, man. Best advice on RUclips, hands down.
Glad it is useful to you!!

Really enjoying your lessons coach!
Excellent in multiple ways. Muchos gracias.

Great drill...thanks for the video post!
So so so help full man keep it up
You should come to Waco Texas and play Travis Dyson. He’s top 10. I would love to see it.
Definitely going to try to make it out there next season.
Great stuff, thanks!

Hopefully making some videos on this soon. I have a full series of stuff planned.
@@iamRedviper right on, just since this video and the release point video I have increased my accuracy distance! Thanks again

No, this is just practicing the throwing line to get a feel for it, don't look too much into it.
@@iamRedviper awesome thanks
Any chance on you looking at my drive? Really struggling with driving, but I really enjoy your approach in these videos.
Send me a link on FB or Instagram and i will try to get around to it. I have a couple others and i will probably do them all the same day.
@@iamRedviper Sent it via Facebook. Feel free to use it on a tips video if it helps. :)
I've been struggling with putting a ton of anhyzer on my backhand drives. Hopefully this will help me remedy that
Lean forward, upper body angle controls the angle of the disc in the end. If you are accidentally throwing anhyzers, your upper body has to be leaned back. Film yourself and you'll likely see this is true.
after watching the wall drill I would be curious to see your throw and how much it mimics it

@@iamRedviper thanks Coach! Keep up the great content!!
Pretty sure i'm not keeping my hand that "in line straight" that far in the throw. Thanks for the tips - i'll give it a try.

There's a product called FlighTowel that has a piece of a disc attached to a towel so you can whip the towel while holding a small piece of a disc.
Yeah, i am personally not a fan of it. At least the one that i tried. Just didn't flow well with the throwing motion. Maybe the length or something. I guess some people like it.

Okay now teach me how to not hit a tree

I just can't trust anybody with electric drums sorry
I can't trust anybody that doesn't put pepperoni on their pizza. Everybody has to draw the line somewhere.
