So I agree there needs to be a colab. But being as I'm a big fan of both of you. I must say that this is something I'm going to start doing literally tomorrow.
Got to love the George Ward fire station, but jokes aside, love the video and the content! I find that no matter where I am on my distance journey, I always need reminders like these.
Pretty neat. I had a different problem I needed to solve in my distance journey, but my first time over 400 ft was, like you said, a smooth and controlled, 50 - 60% shot that accelerated after the hit. The hard part is converting knowledge into muscle memory.
Thank you for emphasizing the left arm driving down (RHBH). It's not talked about enough and it was my "ah-ha" moment for adding 100 feet to my throws. When I first started, there was so much emphasis on the right elbow driving forward. This led me to just muscle my throws vs. sling shotting my right arm forward to catch up with the tension my left arm created from driving downward
Excellent. Your two main points are THE two main points. 1. The elbow is raised high enough. 2. The acceleration emphasis is when the hand is just about to move in front of the elbow. When tweeking form, these two behaviors never change. I'm not found of the terminology you are using to describe #1. True, the shoulder muscle is doing the work of raising the elbow...however, so many players pull the disc. Pulling raises the shoulder up, like a shrug, and that is a terrible shoulder movement. Imo, the better way to teach this is, "Raise the elbow, keep the forearm parallel to the ground, and pull the shoulders down." Whatever imagery and terms work for you is of course the best.
"Raise the elbow, keep the forearm parallel to the ground, and pull the shoulders down." Interesting. I'll have to try this out. I have an issue with a) elbow drop and b) raised shoulder during my swing, and it's become muscle memory for me. So thank you for that.
Robbie this has got to be one of your best video! It is such a blessing that you are passing down what you are learning from your personal coach to all of us. The shoulder spacing is very Nicklas Antilla style, which he bombs with accuracy, and does feel uncomfortable at first but I would bet most players are not getting that space. I will say the only thing that is missing, and this is just me wanting to really understand form as best I can, is how do you accelerate "after the hit". I've heard before that you want to actively open your forearm and throw literally away from you towards that 10 o'clock hit box. Would you say that is true for like a mental queue on accelerating at the last second.
Trusting the process is literally one of the hardest things to conceptualize. Meaning, we want to see the progress or imagine it. We love the sport so much. But the truth is we need to let these changes show us the improvements. Results are not faithless. Love the content.
So dumb and simple. This just changes everything. I’ve watched so many videos about walking through the disc and not reaching. This was the most simple way thanks Robbie
Great stuff! For whatever reason, when you demonstrate the shoulder fold, especially while moving the lower body (walk up), it looks like the exact movement Calvin makes. Great quote: “50% Power at the right time is always going to be better than 100% Power whenever it might happen to hit”! I believe the thought of 50% is really going to help… Not 80%… Not 70%… Not even 60%… 50% Power is it!
still loving the videos man..had a great time chit chatting at the shop a couple weeks ago on my trek across the south, loved Inverness, thanks for all your doing for the community
I think it was Simon who said, “slow is smooth and smooth is far”, or something along those lines. This is now my mantra for drives and it has made a huge difference. As soon as I try to really crank on one I shank it or drive it into the ground. The other huge help for distance has been to lift my back foot. I used to think I had to drive off my back leg, but all that does is slow down rotation and add stress to that knee (sore knee after a round = no bueno)! Lifting my trailing foot gives me waaaay better rotation and snap. Those two elements have added an easy 75-100 feet to my drives.
I've been playing about a month and have been stationary throwing in hopes of developing some control. This video actually inspired me to try the walk up
Thanks Robbie! It's nice to get an instructional video that slows things down to a point of understanding and teaches me to slow down to implement the instructions.
I just looked at your clip, and for the first time I understod the timing. I just had to go out and try, even if its Belle Zero here in Sweden and snowing/raining. It worked🎉🎉 Now back in my car, cold and wet…but worth it👊
Best video yet. This isn’t the first time Ive said “this is it” after a video, but this hit home so much Im going to say it again. Never been more excited to get out to the field!
What an awesome video! This is one video that i can say made a huge difference for me. I focused on where my elbow was while applying 50% power and was absolutey blown away by the distance of that first throw. This is now incorperated in my practice. Thanks again and keep up the great videos.
I love that your videos are so practical and structured. I can take what you talk about and implement it into what I am doing to see if it works for me or not. Still my favorite.
This video made me subscribe to your channel! Turning the disc like a wheel to get your arm away from your body and then waiting till after the “hit” to put in the power helped me immediately! The way I think about the second part is once my elbow has gone past my body in the power pocket is when I explode with the extra power.
Thanks Robbie for this extremely relevant video! I had the great fortune and pleasure of meeting you on the course as you were filming this video which was really cool for me!! This video alone has done more for my game than any other video. After a few minutes of implementing these tips, I was getting better distance than before with 50% power! Meeting you in person is something I'll remember for a long time!
6 minutes in. Taking time to thank you for never asking to like and subscribe. I noticed a long time ago. That shit gets redundant. We all know. So again thanks 🙏🏼
My favorite thing about your videos is why they are easy to understand, and in my opinion that reason is because your videos are set up like you are just hanging out chatting with your buddy on the course. That makes it easy to follow too! Also not having just an explanation but on course examples, again makes your videos very easy to follow. Thanks for all you do in the scene! 🤙🏼
Just went out and did a field session focusing on these two (three?) things. Biggest change I immediately noticed was even though I was doing 50% power, I was getting much better snap than I was previously. I think the shoulder helped with keeping the disc on a straight line, and the acceleration after the hit really allowed the disc to rip out of my hands. I was practicing with mids, and they were immediately going as far as my previous full power mids, and had two or three that were my new farthest throws with a mid. Great video!
Thanks, Robbie! This video really helped me reset. After finding some timing queues that clicked for me, I was hitting mid-300s super smooth and feeling on top of the world. I then did what most people do... since I had it figured out, it was go time for power! I proceeded to "throw hard", on a windy day no less, which led to less distance, frustration, and all my old bad habits. Your video arrived to shake sense back in me, and my next round was one of my best - definitely my best for woods golf.
at 22:01 this kinda looks like an airbounce please correct me if im wrong, just curious bc i have the same problem. I swoop my arm and compensate by trying to pull up early even though my nose angle is correct
Just a super helpful video. You are really putting out some outstanding videos Robbie. I look at disk golf in a whole new light. After a few years of not improving at all and getting somewhat bored with playing, I now am super excited every time I get to the course. Thanks again Robbie.
I've hit the occasional long bomb and never even thought that a rolled out shoulder was the culprit but it was there every time. Thank you, Mr. Internet Disc Man.
I started doing this myself a couple weeks ago. Easier distance is a perfect description. I slowed my run-up down drastically and hold that elbow up and out and getting 400ish distance much easier and with better accuracy. All that with a Axiom Crave as my max speed driver as I'm working with improving mechanics
Totally awesome. Im a skeptic... I believe you... I am a skeptic that I will be able to implement... i try and muscle everything... but I am excited to try it out.
You’re a good man, Robbie… and an excellent teacher. Love your corroboration with Foundation Disc Golf and other content-creators. Love your personality too. And “quack” sound effects after missed puts.
Good stuff and that first cue is one I stumbled into a couple months ago that got me over 350 consistently! You worded and demonstrated it so well I’m definitely going to show other people when they’re asking for advice!
Another excellent video Robbie! I knew adding tension in my shoulder helped me throw far but I had know idea it was good form. Cheers Robbie, this one’s getting locked in. You’re a game changer good sir 👍🤙
That leading shoulder is huge. Ive been working on my form for about a year now and I still find myself collapsing the power pocket. I found that its a timing issue with my lower body. I was rotating my hips to soon which pulls the should tight to the body. Adjust that timing a focus on elbow up helps a ton!
I used to be one of those reach back players, the trouble I've been having with turning the wheel is realigning that move with my footwork and finding my release point again. I'm putting drives a lot more nose down than used to, leading to me throwing grounders as I'm trying to integrate this new form change
These tips really hit the mark for me. I never really knew what to do with my shoulder/elbow position. This will give me something to focus on. And the "50%/Accelerate through" tip ties back to the "Overthrow Windwaker Drill" video where he talks about the 10 o'clock release point accelerating to the 10 o'clock release point.
The nitro boost comment spoke to me...I feel like you are going to have one burst of pull to do on your arm, most people do that burst at the back of the stroke leaving no power to add in the last part of the pull. If you let your "body burst" build the first part of the speed and then do your "arm burst" from the halfway point forward then you arm burst ADDS to the body burst instead of runs WITH it. In so many sports smooth acceleration is key, billards, cycling, sprinting and of course disc golf
Love the shoulder set-up. I have been incorporating this over the summer. Definitely give spaces for the different angles required for the different shots, as you illustrated.
Wow! This 50% power and accelerating at the very end thing is something I've sort of found out about by myself, and I've even shortened my run-up to make it easier to find the rhythm (inspired by Sai Ananda, boy can she throw using just half the teepad). It's made my shot easier and I'm getting all the distance as before and more, but I'm still not finding even over 300' (middle-aged guy, started on disc golf before RUclips videos and been stuck in a rut for ages). But I never ever thought about the shoulder fold. Just trying it by my desk seems like such a natural solution to the puzzle of why I can't through further. Logically, with the coiling in, "turning the wheel", it will give you the chance to create so much more spin as well. Can't wait to try it out on the field!
Fantastic video! Great information, but how you present is just wonderful! I thought my upper body was... the issue; this was the nail in the coffin. lol Aww, I always thought they were Super Corgi on that shirt... but Pigs make waaaaay more sense! 😅 REALLY love that birdie print! I thought the throws looked different with Foundation!
Super interesting concept of injecting the power/acceleration at the right time. This gives a point that Danny (DD) may not have understood at the time. Slow. Smooth Coiling and Planting. Power. Flight.
(I think my comment went into a black hole, so here it is again). I like that you discuss the importance of an in-person coach/lesson. I recently had a lesson to figure out why I couldn't hit my intended lines. I "knew" what I was doing right, I wanted to know what I was doing wrong. I knew my walk-up was good....oops, no it wasn't. That was the first thing we worked on. My instructor immedately noticed that a 6'1" and having a long stride, I frequently ran out of tee pad and aborted my walk-up, got off balance, and didn't follow through....all because I didn't leave myself enough room. She had me start off the tee pad and we saw an immediate improvement. But by myself, I would never have guessed that was a major part of my issue. Another issue was that I "knew" I was releasing on hyzer.....well, no I wasn't. Towards the end of my walk-up, I straightened up and released on anhyzer - throwing across my shoulders instead of hip to shoulder. Without an in-person coach/instructor, I would never have figured those things out. Watching videos and practicing can only take a person so far.
yeah... this video is an incredible gold mine
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Foot fault
We need a Robbie C , Bodanza video!
So I agree there needs to be a colab. But being as I'm a big fan of both of you. I must say that this is something I'm going to start doing literally tomorrow.
Bodanza birdie talks..
Got to love the George Ward fire station, but jokes aside, love the video and the content! I find that no matter where I am on my distance journey, I always need reminders like these.

I'm a beginner and the "shoulder fold" / elbow raise made a big difference during practice today! Thanks for the tips.
I knew there was a reason you were my favorite disc golf RUclipsr! Board games are my other major hobby too!
As a 50 years old newbie i hava had so much use of your videos and pod. Thanks and keep up the good work
Warm up them knees is my advice to you, often overlooked.

one of the best instructional vids ive ever seen and ive seen a ton. shot out robbie
Thank you very much. I can’t wait to slow down in my field work, great tips!
Duuuuuude, started doing the same thing with my shoulder about a month ago and it's made such a huge difference.
I think it was Simon who said, “slow is smooth and smooth is far”, or something along those lines. This is now my mantra for drives and it has made a huge difference. As soon as I try to really crank on one I shank it or drive it into the ground.

Dude, you fixed me! My snap is back and the disc is much more often on the intended line. So much better with so much less effort. Thanks!
I just looked at your clip, and for the first time I understod the timing. I just had to go out and try, even if its Belle Zero here in Sweden and snowing/raining.
It worked🎉🎉
Now back in my car, cold and wet…but worth it👊

Literally ordered the Tabletop Solpro polo as soon as you mentioned you had shirts ready. Cant wait to wear this!!!
Thank you for the valuable content. My game gets better every video of yours I watch
This! Accidentally discovered the benefit of 50% in the field. Accelerating THROUGH the hit is a big deal! Thanks for the great explanations Robbie C.
Incredible tips, Robbie. Some of the most helpful I've ever heard, thank you!
This video made me subscribe to your channel! Turning the disc like a wheel to get your arm away from your body and then waiting till after the “hit” to put in the power helped me immediately! The way I think about the second part is once my elbow has gone past my body in the power pocket is when I explode with the extra power.
Robbie you're kicking @ss. Keep it up and thanks for being real. I'm playing better thanks to you and my downtime is actually productive. Win win.
Hey thanks for all the awesome videos. I learn so much from watching you because you are an excellent teacher!
Thanks Robbie for this extremely relevant video! I had the great fortune and pleasure of meeting you on the course as you were filming this video which was really cool for me!!

Super excited to work on this! Like kid on Christmas Day excited!!
6 minutes in. Taking time to thank you for never asking to like and subscribe. I noticed a long time ago. That shit gets redundant. We all know. So again thanks 🙏🏼
Love to hear that “wait for acceleration” bit. Jaani (DG Spin Doctor) had a great video about the same exact concept.
My favorite thing about your videos is why they are easy to understand, and in my opinion that reason is because your videos are set up like you are just hanging out chatting with your buddy on the course. That makes it easy to follow too! Also not having just an explanation but on course examples, again makes your videos very easy to follow. Thanks for all you do in the scene! 🤙🏼
You had me rollin' at that "part of the family" line bro 😂😂
You really help me with mental stuff in particular Robbie, great work bro
You can have anything you want as long as it’s a corona

What a great video. Things for my field work tomorrow.
20:40 my brain exploded. Thanks robbie you should have been a professor at Yale, campbridge, York, you're an amazing teacher
Great video, your form has improved for sure. Got to try these tips out
Very good information and demonstrations for us! Thank you so much as I am just getting into it and loving little clues related to form and effort!
Thanks, Robbie! This video really helped me reset. After finding some timing queues that clicked for me, I was hitting mid-300s super smooth and feeling on top of the world.

Did not realize i was not subscribed robbie you rock!
I look forward to getting out there and giving this form change a shot. I like the sound of easy distance.
Mind blown!!! 🤯 Thank you for all you do for us mortals Robbie! Lol
I've hit the occasional long bomb and never even thought that a rolled out shoulder was the culprit but it was there every time. Thank you, Mr. Internet Disc Man.

Im a skeptic... I believe you... I am a skeptic that I will be able to implement... i try and muscle everything... but I am excited to try it out.
Saved to go over a few more times. Huge information here!!
Took your cocking the wrist and elbow tip out today. Helped with more control. Not much distance.
This video is golden!! Thanks Robbie! That right shoulder fold/hit point explanation is going to help me so much❤
Man, this helped so much. I can still throw my same distance but my accuracy has got immediately better from this. Thank you! You never keep learning
I can't wait to implement these techniques. I have been suck at 300 ft for a while. I feel this video will help.
I just realized Simon Lizotte is a master at the slow walk up and then accelerating at the end for those clean putter shots off the tee.
You’re a good man, Robbie… and an excellent teacher. Love your corroboration with Foundation Disc Golf and other content-creators. Love your personality too. And “quack” sound effects after missed puts.
Wow. There is space now and not cramped! Thanks for this discovery.
Awesome advise and tips! 50% until it becomes automatic…great way to think about it. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Robbie C! Another great video! Shot a 960 rated round to take first in my division! Your coaching is why! Keep the info coming!
Ayoooo!!! Congrats!!
Hell yeah i was starting to trip over it and get manic but this makes sense!
Best tip video so far ❤
Good stuff and that first cue is one I stumbled into a couple months ago that got me over 350 consistently! You worded and demonstrated it so well I’m definitely going to show other people when they’re asking for advice!
Another excellent video Robbie! I knew adding tension in my shoulder helped me throw far but I had know idea it was good form. Cheers Robbie, this one’s getting locked in. You’re a game changer good sir 👍🤙
Definitely some good info I gotta try the 50%
Cant wait to practice these techniques!!
Truly great teaching.
That leading shoulder is huge. Ive been working on my form for about a year now and I still find myself collapsing the power pocket. I found that its a timing issue with my lower body. I was rotating my hips to soon which pulls the should tight to the body. Adjust that timing a focus on elbow up helps a ton!

I'm putting drives a lot more nose down than used to, leading to me throwing grounders as I'm trying to integrate this new form change
Looking fwd to trying this one!
I agree. If I’m messing up. The only thing that helps is slowing down. Great vid bud!
Thanks Robbie! Huge help
These tips really hit the mark for me. I never really knew what to do with my shoulder/elbow position. This will give me something to focus on.

Aww, I always thought they were Super Corgi on that shirt... but Pigs make waaaaay more sense! 😅 REALLY love that birdie print!
I thought the throws looked different with Foundation!
Great video! Thanks for all the knowledge!!
I teach disc golf .. this is very helpful!!! Thanks 🙏
i've been watching and getting so many of your videos in my YT feed that I completely forgot I hadn't subscribed! Apologies!
Na na na nanana, getting Flippy with it
This is good stuff! Thank you from sweden 😊👍
Great video. Love the content Robbie!
Thanks for the advice Robbie! I’ll be applying this for the summer
I’m not sure if I’m doing it correctly but just moving my elbow up bringing the power down a little gave me a lot more distance. Thank you!
Super interesting concept of injecting the power/acceleration at the right time. This gives a point that Danny (DD) may not have understood at the time. Slow. Smooth Coiling and Planting. Power. Flight.
Yes, yes, YESSSSS! I'll have what you're having!
Can’t wait to try this
Awesome content! Thank you Robbie.
Actively licking my chops to put these tips into action!
Very interesting. I’m definitely going to go try this later.
Good information. Things to think about, and try to implement. Thank you.
That made so much sense. Thank u
