- My journey of improvement in disc golf backhand distance! Let's hope this is a part 1 :)
In the video I'll be going over my backhand form improvements in chronological order. We'll talk about footwork, finding the snap, making space for the disc, consistent throwing plane etc. I hope you find it interesting!

This was interesting! I had to do a similar thing when I was building my technique as well. I'm really curious about that simulator you used to see what angles are ideal. Have you tried increasing the angle at the shoulder past 90°? It'd be really interesting to see what exact angles produce the highest speed
Thanks! I still have a lot of things to test with the simulations. Haven't tested putting the angle past 90d yet, I'll have to give it a try!
@@SketchesForHumanity nice! I'd love to see what the results would be 🤘
one of the farthest throwers on tour now wants to see if he can throw even farther. god save us all
@@SketchesForHumanity Great video! And cool software. If you're taking requests for experiments, it would be cool to see how arm/lever length affects release velocity. Help put in perspective just how impressive it is when Emerson throws 500' 🤯
Didn't you and Tristan do a motion capture thing? I assumed that would've yielded all kinds of authoritative next-level insights.
Wow. Great work on both your form and this video!
Thank you, Josh! 🙏 Great to see you here, you guys' videos have helped me a lot! 😊
@@SketchesForHumanity me too!
Holy shit, I've been studying the pros relentlessly, filming my form, everything, I got stuck around 360 roughly 3 months ago. I thought I tried everything, but that tip about bringing the right shoulder forward and also driving through with the left shoulder as well as with your hips just blew my mind. I decided to give it a shot and gave it some reps with a towel and it felt crazy. I then tried it with my discs in a field and it immediately put me over 400.
The shorter x-step really helped too.
Best video I've ever seen. Finally an honest presentation that explains how complex the backhand form is. Incredibly inspiring. Wish I had seen this video 10 years ago. Very well done!
I'm 71 years old. I went from 220 feet to 292 feet following many of your examples. The most important one for me was the 90-degree arm illustration at 12:35.
That right shoulder thing is gold.

Thankyou.
This is has to be the best progress video I have seen to date. You have definitely created a relatable and helpful video for those of us who seek more distance. The way you have documented your journey, spotted inefficiencies in your form and corrected them, and using simulations to back your findings is fantastic. Thank you for doing this, I'm looking forward to more.
Yea I was glad to see it wasn't Robbie C. So I clicked on it and now I bet I can get my old distance back.
This video single handedly made me return to disc golf after 3 years of absence.
The problem with most DG form content is that they're from people who completely skipped most of my struggles as throwing is more natural for them. The #1 missing puzzle piece for me was to push the right shoulder forward to activate my back muscles. Most people do that naturally, so no-one was able to point it out to me. Until now.
I know this video is pretty old already, but I just had to say thank you. I rewatch this whenever I need a new puzzle piece to solve. By far the best disc golf form video I've ever come across.
I really hope that you'll make it to 500 feet and make another video.
The physics based animation and explanation were some of the best I've seen on the topic! Thanks for the great video!
Man.. I just gotta tell you, I don't know if it's the Finnish summer or the fact that I was cutting onions earlier but that moment made me tear up. I saw that. I saw how important that was for you. And that's what it's all about. This is why we dot it! This is why disc golf or personal growth in any regard is such beautiful thing! I'm definitely sharing this video, this was done in such a genius and humane way. Thank you man! Have a good one!
Wow what a great video man! Thank you so much
Fantastic progress, thanks for sharing!
Great work and thank you. Seriously. Great education
Love this channel, thanks for the high quality content
Awesome vid!! I am very excited for this continued journey!
Great video - thanks for the depth and multitude of tips.
Great information, many thanks!
The colab we didnt know we needed!
Thank you for this video, it will be a guide for quite some time!
Loved this video. Great work, I'd love to see more!
Man, this is good! Very good!
This is an awesome video, definitely taking notes!
Great information and technical throwing
Fantastic video and breakdown of the process!
This is EXCELLENT. Thank you.
Bravo man! That was extremely helpful and informative.
Thank you for sharing the process and the study! Really helpful!
Great video. Thank you for your time and dedication ⛓🥏⛓
REALLY love this. Great video and explanation. Love the progress.
Well done! Thanks for sharing your journey and your technical insights!
Your "pushing the ground" is "The Brace". See Drew Gibson, to see what he does with it.
It causes your right hip to move backwards and hence increase your torso rotation rate, plus it also means you are extending up into balance on your plant foot. Trying to brace against a bent leg is fruitless, and you just glide over the top. Plus, once the leg is completely straight, the body can rotate in place about the stationary hip joint.
Coincidentally, the bracing leg extension radically increases grip and traction simultaneously, just when you are applying maximum torque to your contact patch on the ground. :) Even more fun, is the fact that once you have finished extending into your braced position, the pressure on the ground radically decreases, to allow for easy plant-foot rotation/heel spin, and it relieves torque on the knee, as well. :)
Since you learned to walk you have mastered the ability to land with a bent leg, and to quickly stand up straight into perfect balance. Using both legs to jump, or just one.
If you extend too quickly, then your foot disengages from the ground during the smash, and that is bad news. Your foot can rotate, but it should never move sideways from your plant foot. I call this pole-vaulting, as it lifts you completely off the ground, even if only for a few milliseconds.
If you take a final step that's too long, you can't brace against it properly, and if you are going too fast then you can't come into balance on your plant foot after the release. And to finish in static balance means you must have maintained dynamic balance throughout your throwing motion. :)
in disc golf, you don't have much time, so you can't flex deeply when you land, as you have no time to stop your downwards motion, and reverse it before the disc is gone. Land with plant leg almost straight, absorb and extend the earliest you possibly can, but do not extend too quickly - as above.
This is another thing in disc golf which is greatly dictated by physical talent and ability - and which the rest of us just have to work really hard on, for year, after year... after year... after decade... after decade!
"trying to brace against a bent leg is fruitless"?
Maybe I am misunderstanding you, but doesn't Paul McB have a very bent brace for example?
You can brace/plant with a bent leg as long as it is firm. You see this in several rotational style throwing motions - baseball, javelin to a lesser extent, etc. It doesn't necessarily have to be straight, but it appears that a straight leg is more common.
Excellent insights, this video encouraged me a great deal!
Great video! Thanks for sharing

Incredible video! Thank you for relaying the information you found in an easy to understand way! So cool to see the progress like this with those simulations. You’re brilliant!
I love the fact that you took your time to explain everything into details
Great explanation than other pro and your form so good. Thanks for posting this video. 👍🏾👍🏾🙂
This video is so good. There are so many things in this that I try to explain to my group and I will be sharing for sure. Thank you for making this
Congrats on your progress, so glad you’re sharing your journey it’s very inspiring!
This video is incredible!! One of the best form growth videos I’ve seen, and that simulation of the throw was super awesome I’ve always wanted to see what that would look like!
Amazingly excellent video! 😳
Really great video, rewatched my own videos on my form and figuerd out I had the same problem with the run up. This helped a tonn thanks!
Great vid. I'll have to watch it again soon, try to retain something to take to the field.
Look forward to the next.
Eureka! These are break through details and your explanations are spot on. I can't wait to try these. I'm an instant subscriber and look forward to your coming content.
Super analisys ! So these are well deserved results, because you applied a method. A lot to learn from you, thanks a lot! There is hope for my form!
Great viedo! Thank you for this. You explained a lot of things that I think I have felt when getting some longer throws but now understand why they felt better and what to focus more in the future.
Fantastic Video! amazing detailed and nuanced development of your understanding of the form and technique, very helpful! keep up the good work. Thank you!
Super fascinating video. Love looking in depth at body mechanics please do more!
You have great content man. I follow everything you post.
This was great. I’ve been obsessing over my form for a few years now, with small breakthroughs along the way very much like you. This was helpful, and also inspiring. Thank you!
Invredible. Very interesting and wow what reserch u have done. Thank you!
absolutely incredible video. this is objectively one of the best tools for learning disc golf as well as improving your game. i smashed all the buttons my dude great video
Congratulations and thank you for making this video. I've watched a few videos to help improve my distance and yours makes the most sense to me.
Fantastic video and explanation. I really loved this content and would love to see more experiments/analysis with the simulation as many others have said. Well done.
Incredible video sir. Thank you so much for putting the time in to make this and giving us clear and thorough explanations.
So glad this video came up in my feed. Definitely a few gems in this video that I'll be chewing on and applying to my throws. Really great video!!
Best video ive seen about this topic. I’m still struggling. I will try this out. Thanks!.
one of the most objective, and best delivered sources of dg form info. :thumbsup:
Thanks for the great video. Really enjoyed your documentation of your journey. Great explanations. I am still learning and realize it will take a lot of time to get good, but I am enjoying the journey so far. Good luck and wishing you continued success.
This was really useful! I'm at where you were in the beginning of the video. Let's hope your sharing this will make it easier for me. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video 👊
very nice deep dive in to your form.
Im still learning the run up and x step, but will take this information with me when its time to shapen my skills further.
Just watched your video and thoroughly enjoyed. I just started on my journey and love the discovery that comes with disc. I cannot wait to go out and throw and try out some of your swing thoughts.
Very interesting. I definitely learned a few things to work on.
Absolutely one of the very best videos anywhere on the internet on improving the back hand! Thank you!!
this was amazing almost brought tears to my eyes. I'm currently going through this same process.
Dude, best breakdown I've seen!! I realize I'm way too tight !!thanks buddy!!
This is an amazing journey. I am just starting to really focus on bettering my form and you have opened my eyes to a much better understanding. I've watched a lot of really good form videos that have taught me what I need to change, but this video somehow pulls it all together for me. Thank you for sharing your experience!
One of the better form videos I've seen, pros included. Thanks for the tips
Best driving video I have seen. Better than the pros.
Such an interesting and enlightening video! Had to watch it twice to pick up so much detail. I really like the way you showed the injection of the back arm.
Well done and thank you! 🙏
This is an excellent video. The content is top notch and since it's personal, it's very touching and relatable. I'm going to try out some of these principles tomorrow in practice. That simulator is neat and I want to see some more. Well done.
Thanks for making this video. Being able to explain some of the concepts biomechanically is helpful for those who understand biomechanics and may have more of challenge with how things may appear or feel.
This is one of the greatest form videos I've watched.
oh man I loved this
Great video. We have had pretty much the same journey except the right shoulder position change. Brilliant!
AmazIng video, tips, and help. Thanks for all your research and progress vids. Just incredible, can’t wait to use this and work on my form. More DG vids please!
