    The best tip IMO is that you dont have to throw far, you have to throw to a good spot to throw your next .

    • @gerardschmenk6264
      @gerardschmenk6264 3 года назад +5

      My tip is you have to throw far. Because rec players are gonna get beat by intermediate players that are sand bagging. That’s why I don’t play many minis. I throw avg. 250ft. I still haven’t thrown under par because of 250ft. 250ft. Shots are not gonna get you birdies. I will argue anyone that distance is everything when you can only throw 250ft. Until you can surpass that 300ft mark then and only then is when putting is everything to get under par.

    • @cdogg-he8ni
      @cdogg-he8ni 3 года назад +4

      Totally! You have 3 tries to get the disc in the basket!....As for competition, yeah, probably don't want to play anything other than the lowest tier until you have some distance, but I play with a couple guys that have years on me and I stay in the game. Sometimes I win, sometimes I'm the longest drive, main thing to remember is, just have fun! Can't perform on the course when you're too busy worrying about other players!

    • @65EKS65
      @65EKS65 2 года назад +3

      I kinda disagree, maybe not for complete beginner, but for someone who has played disc golf half a year or so (like me). With short throws you can't play for birdie in most of the fairways and sometimes you do get a bogie or with bad luck even worse so you'd want to even that out on some hole.. Around half of the fairways on the 3 closest course which I go to have par 3's which are roughly 80-110m (260-345ft). If you can't throw more than 70m (230ft) it's almost impossible to birdie any of them. That means that HALF of the whole course is you getting a par at best and if you screw up there ain't much you can do to catch up.. This added up with some shorter fairways having quite small gaps or touchy shots you need to hit etc. makes the whole course a hell if you can't throw far on more open and longer fairways imo.
      I'd say putting is the most important, but then comes long drives/tee shots.

    • @nicholascooper2485
      @nicholascooper2485 2 года назад +2

      I agree. Consistency is more important than risking terrible placement. Incremental improvement instead of grasping for a lucky shot.

      I agree completely I used to get really frustrated because my friends would play way better than me and then try to hard and just make the hole worse. Now I realize that you shouldn't take yourself to seriously laugh it off and just get back to your game your not always gonna play your best

    • @technicalogical5681
      @technicalogical5681 3 года назад +6

      ​@@2foleym that's the thing though. stop trying to throw too hard to make distance. Throw a putter for an entire round (or like 3 weeks). On hole one, just get it out there as far as you can, and fine tune from there. After a few holes, you should be able to throw 125-150ft with decent control. Should be able to start playing for par at that point. You'll never miss a fairway and your upshot will become fantastic.

    • @robinmclean7203
      @robinmclean7203 3 года назад +7

      Great point and here you go. Your 5 even MORE basic beginner tips to get you fewer big numbers and more 3, 4s and maybe yes a few 5s but not that many: 1. Ignore all macho idiots. Play the short tees, the rec. or am divisions and throw putters and understable mids. 2. Just put it in play. It's amazing how many strokes are saved just making 'progress' towards the basket. 3. Find a helpful teacher/coach/pro to WATCH you throw. No speeches and theory. Have them show you how to just get the dang thing to fly flat with enough spin to glide out there a ways. 4. Practice SUPER short putts. Like 10 feet. What you are practicing is making putts not missing them. And you can work on your form to get it to come in at a medium speed and dropping downwards into the basket. 5. Have fun and people will want to play with you. If you play enough rounds with good players (while standing behind them so you can see what they do well) you will learn fast.

    @scottjones5713 3 года назад +9

    Recently came across this video and it was exactly what I needed. I was coming off one of the worst rounds I have ever played, and it was during my local clubs tags. Nothing felt worse than walking away with that day with a number most people didn't know existed for the club. Since then, I started following your tips, reducing the stress and playing for my pars and it has made the world of difference.
    It is easy for pros to say "just putt with confidence as they knock down 40 footers, but when you are in the middle of a round just hoping to draw metal at some points, it is great to have these tips to fall back on.
    That is my long way of saying, Thank you for making this and many other of your videos as they are truly helping me and I am sure others. If there is any way to help support the channel, I would be interested in those details.

  • @michaelblair7141
    @michaelblair7141 3 года назад +9

    I would add this: play with people that are clearly better than you! Will you lose? Probably. What you will gain, however, is new skills. Watch the other person throw, see how they approach their shots. I can tell you from experience, the REALLY good league players only want to see you succeed. Don't be afraid to ask for them to watch your throws and provide constructive criticism. More often than not, they are more than happy to do so!
    Edit: Really good tips video! A lot of people tend to forget how important the mental game is.

    Wow! Everyone of these things is me. What should I expect my game to be after 8 months? Pro status. You just showed me how ridiculous I look playing. Things are about to change baby things are about to change. Some times you have to see the ridiculous to realize it’s you. Thanks Robbie.

    When you started chuck putting!! Bahaha my buddy and I just did this the other day as a bad round stress relief. Tennis grunts and all (people probably thought we were nuts)

    Great video. I kept these tips in mind and scored my best round ever at Clay, -1 from a previous best of +3 and average of +5! More enjoyable and lower scores, win win!
