I decided to switch up today's video to see how you guys like the tips and tricks! Regular course reviews will continue next week!
More of these please! My son and I love watching your content! Keep em coming!👍🏽
@@frootbootllc5139 I'm glad you like them! I have no problem making tips and trick videos!
Good chat. I would not throw the same disc for both shots personally. Thumbers require an overstable disc to create the barrel roll, tomahawk requires a very understable disc. Also, heavier discs will create a wider barrel than lighter discs.
Interesting! I've always used the same! Glad you enjoyed it
This makes sense! Great step by step.
I hope it helps!
Wow, thank you! This is just about the best explanation of those two shots I've seen. I happen to see it in my list and decided to watch it without knowing it was your video until it came up. That's super cool. Thanks again.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for letting me know, I'm glad my video snuck in there lol
Great info! The side by side was awesome optics!
Thank you!
great video for someone like me who is very new and has seen people doing overhand throws and decided to try it but could not figure out if it was supposed to be with thumb or fingers.. it's either!
Glad it could help!
Gracias for the tips 😎 ahhh so THATS why my attempted tomahawk over the fig trees yesterday didn’t land straight ahead…I threw it gently because the basket was only like 70 feet in front of me. I should have thrown it harder to get the full flight and controlled distance with angle. Guess it’s just something I’m going to have to practice until I get the feel.
Shorter I aim higher up! As soon as I try to get touchy I won't get that consistent finish! Glad you enjoyed it!
I love overstable thumbers as a replacement for sidearms in a lot of cases. They get a great flare skip if you land them right.
I've seen that but never tried! I should!
Low flare skip thumbers are so fun to throw. Great for scrambling too.
@@fivepretzels I'm excited to try it!
This is definitely a shot i need to get better at. Great tips, thanks for another great video
Glad it could help!
Nice to video that was to the point with the information!
Thank you so much!
I rarely use tomahawks or thumbers with full power. Usually it's around 60-70% so it goes straight and then curves towards the end. Great for when the basket is tucked away 25 feet to the left or right of a tunnel. I know one of my friends can actually throw tomahawks farther than backhands. The disc does a 270 degree flip in the air and just glides forever
Awesome! It's a shot that has endless amounts of manipulation ability. Fun and creative throw!
For some reason I’m addicted to the tomahawk/overhand throw, even though it’s not ideal to use on every hole & I’m bad at it 😂
I've met a few people who throw it every shot! However, you want to play the game!
Just discovered you. I'm subscribed and looking forward to more tips, hopefully forehands!
I have a tips and tricks Playlist! Check it out, welcome to the community
Loved this. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great tutorial. Both shots are definitely for those no other choice I need to find a way out kind of shots. That being said they almost always come in clutch when needed, and depending on how buried you are a mid range or putter can create a different shot shape for the needed route. I used to know a guy who only went by the name scum or pond scum who threw that shot religiously, even for a drive off the tee. He was actually a really nice guy who was always at the course and was fun to play with/watch his crazy throws.
Yea I've met a few people who only throw them, definitely interesting for a bit! Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome ! Thanks !
Glad you enjoyed it!
Who wants to see this Hunter VS Hunter from Foundation? Battle of the Hunters! There can be only one! 💀💀💀👊💥🏆
Edit: it’s just 7 hours from Kentucky to Virginia
Haha battle of the hunters!
Nice change of pace with a tutorial and cool music also. I'd like to see a collaboration with another you tube disc person or perhaps a pro in the future that would be cool. You have the street cred now to make it happen. 😎
Could be a cool idea for the future ! Glad you liked the change of pace
Heck yea, keep entertaining us northern folks while we deal with the cold.
@@seanbinder8316 I can't wait to get back home up north!
You'll have to visit Milwaukee area we have some pretty good courses.
My shoulder is messed up and the only thows i do are side arm and tomahawk
The gripping it tight is new to me i hold the disk in a relaxed grip and use my index ring to push on the follow through
Whatever works for you! I don't think I've ever even tried a loose grip but I will now
@@tossingplastic because of how my shoulder is messed up the range of motion is limited unfortunately with the side arm i can keep my elbow in tucked to my body which keeps it comfortable the its lateral left right across the body motion of the tradional frisbee throw that hurts real bad so side arm and tomahawk are what im left with i have never tried the thumb throw though
@christophercombs7561 give it a shot! I'm glad your still able to get out and toss!
I agree… warm up, my arm has been dead for 3 hours 😂
All of our downfall haha the lack of warm up
Great short video.
Could I ask what stability disc is best for these types of throws?
Stability is something you will need to do some figuring and practice with! Different Stability can show Different results. I like to use really beat in and flippy drivers
@tossingplastic Will you be making your way down to South Carolina anytime soon? I'd love you to review some of my local courses and possibly join you for a round!
I'm not sure if I'll be getting to SC, NC for sure!
@@tossingplastic Gotcha, is there anyway I can donate to the channel then?
@@andrewcarnes2990 not at this moment as amazing as that would be! Little bit take a lot of pressure off lol I greatly appreciate the offer, maybe soon in the future!
Thumber I use often to get over or out of trees, and have no issue with. Good out to about 230ft. My tomahawk almost never flips over. It just goes straight up and down like a grenade, often turning into a roller at the end. Never figured out why.
Have you tried with a more flippy disc?
you could also throw it at an angle rather like 45 degrees, so more over your head releasing more in line with your left shoulder
@@subspaceanomaly yeah that's basically a scoob, but you can't generate any serious power throwing over your left shoulder. The issue seems to be one of nose angle so as to expose the top of the disc to the wind in the flight direction as soon as possible to make it flip. That's easy with a thumber, or a scoob, but I find that over my right shoulder it comes out dead straight and flies like a grenade.
@@daemn42 interesting. I come at this as a long time ultimate player, and a good hammer (tomahawk) tends to be released at an 11 o'clock angle, thrown about 45 degrees off target that then flows in an arc. putting the noise angle down a bit air bounces the flight plate so you can play kind of fake out stall shots that make more of an s shape like throwing an anhyzer backhand with an overstable disc. If you throw your tomahawk with day an aviar it should curve and land upside down rather than as a roller. I've not thrown so many over arm shots since taking up disc golf as I fucked my shoulder serving too hard in tennis and ripped my rotator cuff and tendons and it never fully healed. But there must be a way to fix your tomahawk if you're getting power into it, with less stable discs or something. I like throwing big thumbers high with putters and fairways and can replicate/mirror the same throwing tomahawks if I have to. I'm certain you could too with some experimentation unless you have a shoulder problem too.. (in which case, from experience I would say just accept it and try and work around it..horrible injuries to flare up and takes ages to recover..)
lol i'm calling the number on the destroyer
I got that from a buddy in Michigan! Please don't lol
@@tossingplastic I'm too lazy to do that, so I hit subscribe and am looking forward to more videos from you in the future!
@@MeesterSquid thank you so much!
Try slower speed discs for more distance, and also overstable discs will be better for thumbers and understable for tommys!
That will be something I will check out! Not very often I feel I need more distance for those but when I do it will be really nice to have it! Thank you!
Not something I throw often, but a slower flip can help you hit farther out gaps with the slower speed discs.. great content btw
@@nkali17dg thank-you! And thanks for the tips!
Wonder if Ben Schmidt will watch this
Probably not haha!
this outro song is crazy, song ID please?
I use epidemic sound! When I get to editing I will let you know!
On epidemic sound it is called
ES_Axolotl - Krisu!
Deifintiely warm up! These hurt
My goodness they do
Either will wear your shoulder out way more than a normal shot, that's why you should only use it when you need to.
Exactly !
Or don't be a wimp, exercise thoroughly, & improve mobility=no problem. It's not a throw for the injured, or weak.
I love how they're calling tomahawks "hammers" now 🙄
Like on disc golf coverage?
@@tossingplastic yep
@@jasonokay wow I did not know that, interesting
that's what we call it in ultimate
You might want to blur your phone number
That's tricky to do after the fact, it was a rookie mistake!
