I haven’t hit the field yet but I can already tell this is going to be a game changer. Thanks for being willing to share the wisdom of others with us. I’m always wanting to expand my circle of influence. You’ll always be one I turn to first, though. Thanks for the great content!
Of all the disc golf channels on RUclips, you have the best content. Way to set the bar Robbie! This video is amazing! Truly a shining gem for any disc golfer. You've out done yourself this time. Thank you!
RC strikes again! Been having trouble with up shots/approaches lately and BAM! RC comes out with a video addressing the exact problem. Every time I'm noticing an issue in my game RC comes out with a video about improving that precise issue within a week. This is the 4th or 5th time. But it could just be that most of my game has issues that need improvement, but as long as those boxes are getting checked I'm happy as a clam.
Coming from an Ultimate background, I had been using a lot of flicks for my upshots that worked ok. But after watching this video, I've practiced this shot in my back yard from about 100' to about 40'. My first 4 throws from about 60': 2 went in the basket, 1 hit the basket and the last settled within 10'. I had the same experiences on the course. I've been struggling with this part of my game lately and these videos are exactly what I needed. Keep 'em coming Robbie! Update: I was able to go to a football field and determine how far I could throw my Mercy putter in a fixed stance, without turning my head (about 180'). The next day I went to a course and one of the holes was...185'. I trusted my earlier practice distance and was able to park my shot within 10'. Very cool way to manage distances under 200'!
@@michaelstrauss2312 Thanks for asking! My first throw while using my hand raised above the elbow resulted in a great up-shot. Subsequent throws weren't quite as good, but I think it will be a game-changer for me with additional practice. I'm really focused on my mid-range game and course management right now. This video series is definitely helpful so thanks again. Cheers!
@@michaelstrauss2312 haha good one! It was a bit weird trying it out the first time, but the funny thing is that I've never had so many "quack" hit the too of the basket from that distance before. Usually my putts end short, but suddenly I found myself going for it. Really great tip 👍 thanks
The tip about having most pressure on the back fingers and using the wrist to aim makes a lot of sense. I've had a lot of bad releases on upshots outside of my putting range. Will definitely try it out!
I have been struggling on upshots and this video broke down every step for me. Went out back and practice and I was impressed with myself! Thanks for the video!
I started doing this shot last summer, it saves a guy strokes for sure!!! I even gotten lucky and made a few!!! It's Def a shot I need to practice more!!!! Great video thanks brother!!!! I'll be looking forward to the next pro tip video for sure!!!!
@@michaelstrauss2312 it’s been great! I see all the bad things I have been doing and I am working on my up shots with greater success every round. Thank you so much for giving me the tools I need to make this game even better
This had been the upshot lesson I've been looking for. I used it today and I'm very happy with the results. This has been the weakest part of my game so far, needing a consistent straight on approach when I don't have the room to just launch a high hyzer or turnover approach.
Not sure if I figured that out a long time ago by myself or if someone taught me that years ago. Explains why people are always complementing my up shots.
Great stuff as always, sir. Some of this stuff I was working on for my game recently and there's some good info in here that will help that work go even more smoothly.
I definitely enjoy your videos. It has certainly helped me and I have been playing twenty years. Recreational now but in my twenties I played tons of Am tournaments. If not for my job, I travel and work nights, I would still be playing tournaments.
Kinda excited because I watched this and realized this is very similar to how I play upshots, which lately has been the best part of my game... Well done! @robbiecdiscgolf
First of all….thank you for the kind words. I am starting to put content together for all three types of putts and how they are similar, but also what mechanics differentiate them from one another.
Tried the different grip for the upshots... I like it. Hey btw, you made a comment in a video describing the "qualifications" of a novice/recreational player. Do you have a link to that?
Great video Robbie. Thanks for all your hard work you put into your content it’s really enjoyable. Aaaaannnd I am starting to like using a pig. I got one and didn’t like it but just played in my first tournament in 5 years years and it was really windy and the pig was brilliant. Thanks again. Would love to play a round together some day but I won’t dance. Haha peace and love.
Mike - I've been following your Instagram for a few months now. Your form breakdown and coaching is far better and more insightful than most out there. It would be awesome to see more content from you such as coaching, form breakdowns, etc. because you have a way of explaining details that many others muck up. Do you have any plans or thoughts about doing more disc golf content in the near future? Is there any way to get coaching lessons (virtually) from you?
@@bosta84 Rick… First of all let me thank you for the nice comments. I pride myself on trying to articulate the knowledge I’ve acquired of over 15 years of form study. Yes… I will be putting out more content… And more future collaborations with Robbie. Message me on my Instagram channel and we can certainly set up something for private lessons. Thanks again and happy Chuckin!
My favorite upshot tip is this: jump putt like KJ, do that inside your range. Outside that range, forehand! If you gotta backhand, throw with a putter grip and dont turn your shoulders away from the target. That way it feels like a throw but you physically can’t throw it far enough to get in trouble (this is good out to about 150’ for me, any further and I am comfortable just throwing the disc normally). If you need even more power, turn your shoulders a little without taking your eye off the target
@@michaelstrauss2312 Of course - I've heard " In order for your disc to do what it's intended to do, the force of the throw has to match or produce the given speed of any given disc" How do you know and or calculate how hard you have to throw to create said speed of disc?
@@shay.m7351 I can answer that but it will be a very long answer. Why don’t you message me on my Instagram Page and we will chat. This is a great question and is a very involved answer. Look forward to chatting.
Oh... My... Goodness .... just as @Chris Davies said - "GAME CHANGER"... I think I'm going to watch this video 4-5 times a week for the next couple of months (not joking - for real)... Question: would this also help form issues in driving off the tee? getting the form right at 100-150 ft??? I'm assuming so? but just making sure?
Absolutely! That's something I try to highlight often! If you can master upshots from that range, then teeshots from the same range are no different! Just better footing!
@@michaelstrauss2312 I'm beginning to notice a difference off the tee - DEFINITELY see and notice a difference on upshots, and finding my comfort circle around the basket. Finding that circle makes the upshot SO MUCH easier - there's no pressure to have to "get as close as possible" when I'm comfortable at a 20 ft. radius from the basket. The angles for upshots helped too - and how to actually "throw" the shot (body language, arm, hips, follow through, steps/no steps)... it's literally the "game changing" moment so far in my disc golf game... yet I know there's SO MUCH MORE to work out.. but it's the baby steps for sure. This off-season is going to be pretty intense (it's not going to be an "off-season" for me...) Thank you Michael Strause!!! And Thank you Robbie C!
I've never had problems with the grey area between putts and upshots, but I have a lot of problems when it comes to the grey area between drives and upshots. It's really difficulet to find any resources on that because most people talk only about the former. My problem is that I can do standstill drives up to 360 feet but can only do upshots to around 130-160 which leaves me with a huge gap. Is there anyone who can point me in the right direction?
Upshots are traditionally thrown (similar to a chip in golf) where you're trying to get the disc as close to the basket as possible to ensure your final putt is as easy, short,, and simple as possible!
surprisingly being a 3 month old baby disc golfer, my approach shots have actually been the most outstanding part of my game from alomst day- one. Getting my tee shots to land on the fairway consistently has been my biggest problem, but field work/practice has been correcting that problem. Now the putting thing is next on the list. QUESTION ROBBIE? Why does the PDGA keep track of Circle "2" putting, when it clearly say's in the Rule Book that the "putting area" is only 33 feet ( 10 meters) from the basket??
BERG changed my upshot game. It was already my strongest part of my game and the k1 soft berg is it. I’ve thrown in so many 100 footers and if it misses, still right by the basket
This has been the biggest struggle in my game, so I'm really excited to get out and give these a try! I've made huge in-roads on my drive, but my upshots have still been far enough off, I've left too many pars still.
Watching this video made me think about my grip and it's probably something that I need to work on. I primarily grip the disc with my middle and ringfingers.
i know this vid is upshot focused, but i've never heard of someone talk about a back vs front loaded grip. I've always had blisters on the tip of my ring finger when throwing, and i have always had a back loaded grip apparently. I wonder if that's costing me some distance lol.
Do you stack your back three fingers? Mike showed me that a few weeks ago and it stopped the blistering for me and gave me even more control. It was uncomfortable at first but now it's normal.
@@Beeray11 Why don’t you hit me up on my Instagram channel. Send me your phone number and I’ll give you a call we can have a quick conversation so I can answer your questions. I would be glad to help.
Wow. Can't wait to try this. I've been playing around with upshot form and felt some of this but didn't know why until now. Would love some good vs. bad form to see the subtle difference. Thanks!
Yup it works. As a forehand dominate player, the necessary backhand approach shot has always been challenging to gauge distance and be accurate. This approach fixed both of those things almost immediately.
Wowie wow wow. This is extremely helpful. Can't wait to work this into my next field work practice. This video has renewed my hope that one day I will win a C tier.
Yes, we live very close to Shady! 😎 Hit me up on Instagram if you want to do lessons. Also, if you are going to be out that way…let me know and we can meet up. I am usually out there either teaching or coaching.
Are Flick up shots a thing for more seasoned players? Having a heavy ultimate background I will Flick almost anything from 40+ feet. I feel that I have a better chance of them settling near the basket if they don't connect. I know the pros run all kinds of puts but I'll take a par if I can get my upshot parked, instead of a real risky bird-ogie situation. Great vid I will try the high elbow and higher wrist combination soon. Keep them coming
@@michaelstrauss2312 it was a perfect fall weekend here in Toronto 65F and sunny. Wind played a role but I shot the lights out Saturday going -7 (best round ever) Sunday playing on lead card finished with -4 round. Went for the eagle on 18 to try to finish 2nd and went long out of bounds. Finished with T6 MA2 -11 Only 4 bogies. So proud. We played on a temp golf course and the rolling hills made for great shots and death putts everywhere. And the highlight was Thomas Gilbert shot -30 to take the tournament, got to meet him and get a huck face stamped disc for my boy. All in all this weekend cemented my addiction to disc golf. Thanks for checking in. Winter is coming and I will be working with a net in my basement to get that backhand timing down! I look forward to more of you and Robbie c content
I have watched this video and the next one in the series probably about 10 times. They have been so helpful! I started with my comfort putt zone and I am slowly moving backwards to try to throw easy and controlled. I’m out to about 150 ft right now and haven’t made it to the four step. These tips really work.
I haven’t hit the field yet but I can already tell this is going to be a game changer. Thanks for being willing to share the wisdom of others with us. I’m always wanting to expand my circle of influence. You’ll always be one I turn to first, though. Thanks for the great content!

@@williaminkley1587 Well… Can’t leave everyone hanging. How did you do in the tournament?
@@michaelstrauss2312 it was a perfect fall weekend here in Toronto 65F and sunny.
Wind played a role but I shot the lights out Saturday going -7 (best round ever) Sunday playing on lead card finished with -4 round. Went for the eagle on 18 to try to finish 2nd and went long out of bounds.
Finished with T6 MA2 -11 Only 4 bogies. So proud.
We played on a temp golf course and the rolling hills made for great shots and death putts everywhere.
And the highlight was Thomas Gilbert shot -30 to take the tournament, got to meet him and get a huck face stamped disc for my boy.
All in all this weekend cemented my addiction to disc golf.
Thanks for checking in. Winter is coming and I will be working with a net in my basement to get that backhand timing down!
I look forward to more of you and Robbie c content
I have watched this video and the next one in the series probably about 10 times. They have been so helpful! I started with my comfort putt zone and I am slowly moving backwards to try to throw easy and controlled. I’m out to about 150 ft right now and haven’t made it to the four step. These tips really work.
Love that Wander shirt! I have a hat that’s my go-to
