Hi! Some suggestions for more 3MT tips: How to adjust for footing changes: uphill, downhill, left/right side slope. (I guess a 3MT each) . Thanks for the tips!!
First video I’ve watched of yours, I’ve been having trouble learning the forehand and there are some awesome tips here. You also look like you’re about to drop 40 on me.
These tips made me so happy, I was able to almost completely look past the Patriots shirt! 😁👍 #SteelerNation #MaybeSomeYear #2020Shutdown🙄 #ItsReallyGivenMeTimeToImproveMyGolfAndDiscGolfGameTho
I like the fact that you told us to work on a 200 to 250’ Forehand. That gives me confidence of an obtainable goal as opposed to thinking I have to learn to throw a 400’ Forehand. Great advice. Thank You
400' forehands are for people who have really mastered the form and have a cannon of a wrist, I would even argue to learn 50-250 foot forehand. Sometimes a flick is good even from super short upshot distances
There are only a few pros that can forehand 400 feet, and there are some that could but don't, because it's not good for your arm. There's a reason sidearm is rare in baseball, and pitchers get Tommy John's all the time anyway...
I love forehand 🤘💕💯🔥 I use zone and just absolutely saves me all time .. especially scrambling or approaching in very tight woods ..glad you did this ..I’m constantly asked how I’m so smooth playing up n down in scramble and up shots 😎💕 form means everything backhand and forehand 👊💯
"Coming from someone who has an incredible flick," is what you could hv said because yours is money! Thank you for sm excellent tips, Noah. I can't wait to get sm practice in & try a couple of these.
This was perfect. especially the part where you mention to go slow from your reach back right until you go over the hip for the snap. People always miss this part and it leads to very unpredictable throws without it
Do the mcray and put a towel down on the teepad, I've even done it in fairway grass. I slipped and tweaked something pretty bad one time and stuck with the towel ever since.
Backhand and flick rollers I don’t think u covered yet maybe I’m wrong 🤔but enjoy the input, that’s all I got for scramble 90ft out really trust my flick and 8 out of 10 times I’d say I save par or birdie.
Good vid 👍 I was consciously focusing on the loose wrist, tight elbow stuff in today's round after watching the first 3/4 of the video. It seemed to help. I definitely noticed more consistent spin on my forehands today, correlated with being aware of my wrist tension. You should do a 3 minute Thursday solely focused on the scrambliest of scrambles. i.e. thumber rollers, tight wooded thumbers/tomahawks (which direction do each end again? I always forget), turbos, chicken wings, etc. Heck, thumber roller/grenade/turbo putt/basketball putt only challenge?
Dude, this is a great video. I have watched a lot of flick videos and you just added some things I hadn't heard. The wine glass analogy is great. The slow through the first part of the swing is new to me. I have been going full speed all the way through. No wonder my flick sucks. It makes total sense and I can't wait to try it. Thanks! By the way, fellow NEr here. Go Pats.
Regarding Jomez Pro: I commented about all the "Fluff" they're producing. I mentioned they might do a post about what shots it takes to make an 1100 or even 1000 rated round, what are the standards for such a round, and posted on about seven different videos. They deleted EVERY SINGLE ONE. Back to Nazi tactics and censorship I guess, instead of trying to push disc golf like they say, when they ask you for money. Make it accessible to everyone, they say.
Sorry you had that experience, I think some of their "best shots of.." recap videos have been solid and that they've been doing a good job with all the next day coverage so far and the added player profile to the videos.
Really great tips, man. Fresh insights and very friendly, engaging communication style. I've been throwing forehands for a while and I learned some things! Love watching your videos - always something fresh, friendly, fun, and insightful.
I just wanted to put it in simple terms so people didn’t think they needed a 300-400 foot forehand off the tee. It’s all about the finesse scramble forehands that will help shave strokes off most player’s rounds
Great video and thanks for the fundamentals. I am doing a beginner disc golf clinic and I will use the fundamentals you are teaching here. Sincerely, Bill M. PDGA #7378 in Uncasville, CT☺
Usually neutral because you’ll want it to fight back at the end still, if not maybe slightly overstable and really rip it over, anything understable being thrown that high won’t be consistent in flight. I usually don’t think much about weight of disc, most in my bag are max weight
As a flick first player, this is all really great advice - power down, focus on angles... but damn can't ignore fact that the (only?) graphic in this video is misspelled! I IMPLORE you to fix it!
You don't "need" the 400' FH off the tee, but you know you want it. Nothing better than out-driving your buddies with a FH that takes half the energy of their best BH drives. ...that being said, I can't get a BH out past 350', soooo.
It’s definitely a blessing to be able to flick ~400 as it does give you the ability to hit certain shots and lines that are very tough to replicate with a backhand, but there’s always arguements like James Conrad and JohnE McCray who are absolute backhand wizards no matter the line they need to hit
Mannnn. My friends turned me on to disc golf last month so I'm very new, and they use stack grip and it feels awkward as heck, didn't even know pistol grip existed. 😅 a literal game changer. thank you so much sir, you've got my subscription and support
Appreciate it!! The forehand can be great when you’re new because it’s easier to get distance out of overstable drivers on flex shots than it is trying to throw the same driver on a backhand line.
Good tips. My problems are, trying to throw too hard like I'm trying to skip a rock as far as I can, and just not practicing forehands enough. My backhand is just way better. I need to do some forehand-only rounds with some mids and focus on getting a clean release and good snap with easy throws.
Honestly not everyone needs the forehand off the tee, as long as you work it in to be able to throw the upshots needed in certain scramble situations that alone will help shave a few strokes. Really try to keep your palm up through the snap and follow through
Good pinch, definitely a solid amount of pressure. Wedge the disc into the meat of the 'U' between your index finger and thumb and grip wherever feels most comfortable with 2 fingers on the bottom and your thumb on top
I've hit some good distance with flicks up to 400 ft with a cloudbreaker but my consistancy sucks. I sometimes turn even an overstable disc over. Curious how I do this? I think it could be off axis torq, but is it possible i don't get enough spin by accident or too much? Not sure what it is, but when it is clicking is money, but when it isn't its throwler city. Thanks much
A lot of the time for me it’s rolling my wrist over, keep your palm face up and flat the whole time, follow through with an open hand and keep the palm up the whole way. Rolling my thumb over to the left is when it turns into a throwler, hopefully that helps! Haha
Biggest mistake i see people make with the forehand is not keeping hte elbow tucked in. Also, lead with the elbow. There shouldnt be a big reach back, its more of loading the 'spring' of your elbow and wrist in the back swing. See how Paul McBeth does a swift swing back then swing forward with his forehands.
Crow hop may be the worst advice to give to a beginner. Good luck getting back to level after hopping down the pad when the whole throw dynamic is new..
Just advising to try different run ups to see what works early on, its not too hard to transition the run up later on once the release and timing are more locked in
When you throw a disc can you add the numbers that are on the disc on the screen or mention it? I wish more tutorials would do that because I have no idea what you are talking about when you mention the name of the disc. I usually have to pause the video, look it up, then come back and repeat each time you mention a different disc. Other than that. Good video. No fluff, just straight content. TY
Thanks for the feedback, i havent really considered putting the numbers in for now. For me its just about telling people what i'm throwing incase they do want to look it up and see what it is. Either way one of us has to do a little bit more work haha
Try throwing a tactic or a harp or a zone and learn to really give it a lot of anhyzer with a very low amount of power and learn that full s-curve flight, it’ll allow you to throw a shot that requires full follow through without throwing your arm out flicking drivers all day
I dont agree with a beginner trying flex shots until they get release flat down. I did the flex shots first and now it's kinda hard for me to flick flat.
I don’t really know how to verbalize it but it seems if you have a slower arm speed you will have more luck finding molds in the 7-10 speed with different stabilities to see what flies the furthest for you. Sometimes when you don’t have the arm speed to really rip through on a destroyer or PD2 (12 speeds) then you won’t get nearly as much distance as you would throwing a neutral / stable 8 speed disc. It’s probably smart to start with slower discs if you’re new, high speed discs at the beginning bait you in to thinking they’re going to fly far just because they have a wide rim and they’re usually nice and pretty looking.
The third number in most instances will signify high speed turn (understability when thrown hard), a negative number will mean its more understable than a positive number.
Thanks for the video. My buddy, that i throw discs with, is about your height, he throws LHBH, and RHFH. We both are just casual players, but want learn more. He struggles with his grips, because his fingers are almost long enough to palm the flight plate like a basketball. This video should help him a lot. Again, thank you.
Thank you for the tips👍 I just started playing yesterday because of my brother and I got hooked. Went and bought a driver, mid range and putter same day. Practiced for about 5 hrs again today but was in need of more tips and tricks. Hopefully your tips will help improve my game with more practice.
I agree 100% with tip number 5. The speed of your throw should slowly build from reach back to release with most of the speed coming from the last 25% or less of the follow through of the throw. Great tip!
Everyone picks it up differently, these were just the tips that seemed to help me out through my forehand progression. If understable works better for you then keep it going 👍🏻👍🏻
@@DailyDiscGolf well, I'm new to the discs, but I've thrown frisbees forever. And those are predictably overstable. Learning to shoot straight, or even better, get a clean S line....it's addictive.
Im new to forehands. Im on my 50's so I try to watch all these videos. It's still pretty much nonexistent (my forehand). So always willing to try new stuff. Thanks a lot.
Learning a forehand can be really tough, don’t beat yourself up over it if you can’t pick it up right away. Try overstable flex shots where you don’t even throw the disc that hard but you force it on a very steep anhyzer angle and throw it kinda high in the air so it has time to fight out, or on the other spectrum you could try very understable on more of a hyzer flip shot but you’ll have to really spin it if you want to do that. Even having a 100-200’ scramble forehand will help shave a few strokes off every round
I’m 53 and anytime I’ve ever tried a forehand it sucked bad. After watching this video I tried the wine glass analogy and the slow start with my 12&13 speed understable drivers I had sitting on the rack. they work great for me on FH. My average BH is 180-190 very few over 220’. In 2 days my average FH is probably 200 with several 240-250’ with a lot less effort than BH.. and it felt great to use long FH shots on the course.
@@DailyDiscGolf that’s awesome. I still haven’t played at Oak Crest yet. I need to get a little better before I’m ready to jump to those par 4 and 5’s but I’m getting close! Thank You for the great content!
Pretty good tips, except the locking elbow. Locking the elbow like you advise here, ruins the power from your throw. None of the pros lock their elbow and neither do you when you demonstrate in this video. Great tips other than that!
Topic suggestions : Top ten courses in your area (with brief descriptions , reasons why , etc) , top ten courses you've played , if you couple take a disc golf vacation anywhere for a couple days where would it be ? why ? what courses would you play ? disc golf vacation location recommendations for others ?.....
Check out the “my dream layout” and “Massachusetts dream layout” videos! They’re pretty much exactly what you were suggesting in the first two, disc golf vacation would definitely be Finland or that new asland island place that Discmania helped open up a few courses at. Sorry to spoil the video ideas 😂😂😂 thanks for the support Naeda!
@@DailyDiscGolf Seriously, I've never heard that before, and it makes so much sense. I'm a beginner who's mostly focused on backhand. I think I can start focusing more on forehand now. Thank you!
That’s where I was going wrong, I was swinging it from way back and doing it with power... and it just flops everywhere, so I’m trying these tips tomorrow and will give my feedback. Awesome vid andddddd PEACE OUT HOCK-SQUAD ✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼
Great video, man. Well done. Just stumbled across you and been working on improving my forehand, this helps. If you just ripped this one off quick, I can't wait to check out some others.
Great stuff bro! Anyone can have a 250ft flick with a little practice. I don't know how many times a 200ft flick got me out of a tough up-shot. The average disc golf player, at least on my local courses, throws either or and I just don't get it...
Great video Huckman! First good instructional video on the forehand I've seem. I've got a terrible forehand and really want to improve it. This video might do it. Thanks!
Good tips, Noah! I picture a beer mug 🍺 instead of a wine glass 🍷, but it still seems to work! 😂. But seriously, great help, I especially like the thought of snapping right in front of your core... not all the way from the reach-back. Thanks so much! 😎
Absolutely great advice. I am currently forehand dominant with my game, easily reaching 350' and only getting about 300' with my backhand at the moment. Im starting to use backhand off the tie the majority of the time now because, well, its about time I work on bettering my technique. But one thing that I have over most of my backhand dominant friends is my scramble and flick approach shots. I recommend a Firebird for forehand approach in the 50'-150' range. It feels very comfortable for forehand and the over stability give you amazing dependability. One thing to note: you'll start to realize that only certain discs will feel right for throwing forehand, especially midrange and putt/approach discs. So find a midrange that feels comfortable to flick and that will hold a nice anhyzer line.
Awesome feedback Kalyn! Glad you’re finding success in the flick as thats similar to how I started playing. Big forehand anhyzer flex shots to get my distance and didnt have much of a backhand for a few years. I throw primarily Discmania so my firebird is the FD3 which I loved for a long time and even aced with but replaced recently with my dark maul 2, still a bit back and forth between them. Keep it up! 👏🏼👏🏼

Best forehand tips I ever found. "Keep your wrist loose and elbow tight." My disc not wobbling anymore. Thanks.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 thanks for the feedback Raven glad I was able to help in some way!
I think this was my issue too!! Money tips here!! My wrist was definitely too tight and my disc was wobbling
Thanks Sean! Glad you were able to find value in that tip 😁
This is one of the best forehand tutorials i've seen; simple explanation, and practical application. Well done sir!!
Thank you Hunter!

I know Im kinda off topic but does anyone know of a good website to watch newly released tv shows online?
@Jasper Jesse i watch on FlixZone. You can find it on google :)
@Jasper Jesse I use Flixzone. Just search on google for it =)
I like the fact that you told us to work on a 200 to 250’ Forehand. That gives me confidence of an obtainable goal as opposed to thinking I have to learn to throw a 400’ Forehand. Great advice. Thank You

That’s a great goal for the beginner / average player to have. It will definitely help shave strokes and do more help than harm to learn
There are only a few pros that can forehand 400 feet, and there are some that could but don't, because it's not good for your arm. There's a reason sidearm is rare in baseball, and pitchers get Tommy John's all the time anyway...
five day old disc golfer here, all I do is throw forehands except putting so far haha
Keep it up, i was a 4 year forehand player before i even bought putters and mid ranges and learned a real backhand. Dont rush or overjudge yourself
Same here, I'm 3 months in and can only get distance with forehand
“That was actually money!” 🤩
Glad you enjoyed Nico!
Need more from you! Love watching your videos
Thanks Patrick! Hard when you work 6 days a week and try to do this on top of it 😂😂 doing my best!
He is soooo good... I’m at work and all of a sudden I shout “WAD UP HOCK-SQUAD” haha...

Love it, flicks are so helpful when getting up and down for par needing to manipulate weird lines
Your grip is stacked grip and the second grip is power grip.
Potato PotAto! I call it pistol grip haha 😂
"Coming from someone who has an incredible flick," is what you could hv said because yours is money! Thank you for sm excellent tips, Noah. I can't wait to get sm practice in & try a couple of these.
Thanks Mike! Let me know how your flick progresses over the next few practice sessions 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Thank you. I have no forehand throw at the moment (Been playing less than 2 weeks). looking forward to Practice, Practice, Practice.. Great tips.
look at that tight tight fairway... They just built one two years ago at my local park.. Its very very wide open which is good for beginners..
This was perfect. especially the part where you mention to go slow from your reach back right until you go over the hip for the snap. People always miss this part and it leads to very unpredictable throws without it
Great takeaway Haikes, it’s a very crucial tip that gets overlooked a lot !
Great video. Clearly explained with good examples
I do you determine a stable and unstable disc? What is the science of throwing stable and unstable disc?
Do the mcray and put a towel down on the teepad, I've even done it in fairway grass. I slipped and tweaked something pretty bad one time and stuck with the towel ever since.
Backhand and flick rollers I don’t think u covered yet maybe I’m wrong 🤔but enjoy the input, that’s all I got for scramble 90ft out really trust my flick and 8 out of 10 times I’d say I save par or birdie.

Improve backhand
My dominant throw is a forehand and mines only like 250 and he says everyone should be able to do that😭😭

I, as a Peyton fanboy, can't get past the Patriot shirt logo....sorry...but good video despite :)
Lol its no problem :D
Great tips. Suggestions how to throw a high turnover. Like over a tree. Light vs Heavy weight discs. Under stable vs Stable vs. overstable discs.
Usually neutral because you’ll want it to fight back at the end still, if not maybe slightly overstable and really rip it over, anything understable being thrown that high won’t be consistent in flight. I usually don’t think much about weight of disc, most in my bag are max weight
Avid new disc golfer ...... Trying to find S-line FD. Where to you get your discs?
Discmania - Marshall Street - infinite discs
As a flick first player, this is all really great advice - power down, focus on angles... but damn can't ignore fact that the (only?) graphic in this video is misspelled! I IMPLORE you to fix it!

Do you control your forehand angles by moving your wrist up/down, or with your torso (like a backhand)?
Thanks! Great tips in here.
Wrist / nose angle more than thinking about what my torso is going, thanks for the feedback Aaron!
The stacked grip is kinda must for me and my short fingers. If you have short fingers and seem to lack power and grip try the stacked grip
I have pretty big hands so i wouldnt know the short finger struggle, whatever feels most comfortable for you will be best!

good stuff. but i suggest you watch scott stokely. he tslks about what you do but adds nuance that will even improve your flick.
I’ll check him out! Thanks
can you talk about how much pressure your grip is exerting on the disc and where on your hand the grip pressure is taking place?
Good pinch, definitely a solid amount of pressure. Wedge the disc into the meat of the 'U' between your index finger and thumb and grip wherever feels most comfortable with 2 fingers on the bottom and your thumb on top
I've hit some good distance with flicks up to 400 ft with a cloudbreaker but my consistancy sucks. I sometimes turn even an overstable disc over. Curious how I do this?

How about skip shots for 3 minute Thursdays. as I'm learning the forehand all the things you pointed out makes sense to me thank you

I am a left handed flicker. My problem is allowing my arm to follow through and not stopping myself half way into the throw.
Try throwing a tactic or a harp or a zone and learn to really give it a lot of anhyzer with a very low amount of power and learn that full s-curve flight, it’ll allow you to throw a shot that requires full follow through without throwing your arm out flicking drivers all day
Great content as always. But please drop the intro catchphrase. I get a stroke every time :-)
As long as my channel exists I’m going to start my videos with my “what up hucksquad!” intro 😂😂😂 thanks for the feedback though!
I dont agree with a beginner trying flex shots until they get release flat down. I did the flex shots first and now it's kinda hard for me to flick flat.
Its tough to give advice that suites everyone, biggest tip is to just get out there and try a bunch of angles and see what works for you to start
I choose heads.
Can you explain how Disc Speed translates to arm speed or force of a throw?
I don’t really know how to verbalize it but it seems if you have a slower arm speed you will have more luck finding molds in the 7-10 speed with different stabilities to see what flies the furthest for you. Sometimes when you don’t have the arm speed to really rip through on a destroyer or PD2 (12 speeds) then you won’t get nearly as much distance as you would throwing a neutral / stable 8 speed disc. It’s probably smart to start with slower discs if you’re new, high speed discs at the beginning bait you in to thinking they’re going to fly far just because they have a wide rim and they’re usually nice and pretty looking.
Out practicing my flick as son as I finish this.....
Any success??
The wine glass tip helped me as a total beginner with no forehand at all. Thanks, I promise to eat more vegetables :)
Thanks for the feedback!! I had a few cucumbers today :D
This video helped me to finally play under par at my local course! :D
That’s awesome!! I’m glad it was able to help
Newbie what number do you look at for a understable and overstable?
The third number in most instances will signify high speed turn (understability when thrown hard), a negative number will mean its more understable than a positive number.
Awesome video! You may have done this but would love to see a video on putting
I think I might have one out there but not a bad idea to re visit the subject!
Thanks for the video. My buddy, that i throw discs with, is about your height, he throws LHBH, and RHFH. We both are just casual players, but want learn more. He struggles with his grips, because his fingers are almost long enough to palm the flight plate like a basketball. This video should help him a lot. Again, thank you.
Thank you for the tips👍 I just started playing yesterday because of my brother and I got hooked. Went and bought a driver, mid range and putter same day. Practiced for about 5 hrs again today but was in need of more tips and tricks. Hopefully your tips will help improve my game with more practice.
Going to try these tips and give feedback
Hope they were able to help
Very helpful thanks for the video
Thanks for the feedback i hope you were able to implement some of the tips!
I agree 100% with tip number 5. The speed of your throw should slowly build from reach back to release with most of the speed coming from the last 25% or less of the follow through of the throw. Great tip!
Great video Noah. Super helpful.
Thanks for the feedback Michael I’m glad it was able to help you out!
Great video and informative 👍. Keep it up champ
Thank you for the support and feedback!
I'm still beginning.....and frankly, forehand is my most fun practice, and the understable is my fun disc of the time.
Everyone picks it up differently, these were just the tips that seemed to help me out through my forehand progression. If understable works better for you then keep it going 👍🏻👍🏻
@@DailyDiscGolf well, I'm new to the discs, but I've thrown frisbees forever. And those are predictably overstable. Learning to shoot straight, or even better, get a clean S line....it's addictive.
Heading out to the course in a couple of hours, real glad I watched this! I picked up on a few things I can’t wait to try. Peace, Love and Disc Golf
when you to the S shape flex shot, is it an over stable disc?
Yes most of the discs i forehand are overstable or stable
Just got into disc golf. Thanks for this video, it's really going to help!
I THOUGHT IT SAID FOREHEAD AND YOU WHERE HOLDING A GUN
"Pistol grip" haha
Gotta have a scramble forehand to compete!
Tell that to James Conrad or JohnE ;)
That's not a stacked grip...
Tomato tomaato, the visual representation showed what I meant! 👏🏼👏🏼
great instructions, thanks!!
Thanks for the feedback!
Great video - FH already x2 better!
Glad it was able to help Will!
Is this the guy from no country for old men?
Yes, just got off the set for NCFOM 3
This video would be PERFECT if it weren’t for the patriots shirt 😂
🤣🤣🤣 after this past season were due for ridicule
@@DailyDiscGolf 🤣🤣🤣
That was a very long three minutes.
Yeaaaa... 😂😂😅😅😅
Im new to forehands. Im on my 50's so I try to watch all these videos. It's still pretty much nonexistent (my forehand). So always willing to try new stuff. Thanks a lot.
Learning a forehand can be really tough, don’t beat yourself up over it if you can’t pick it up right away. Try overstable flex shots where you don’t even throw the disc that hard but you force it on a very steep anhyzer angle and throw it kinda high in the air so it has time to fight out, or on the other spectrum you could try very understable on more of a hyzer flip shot but you’ll have to really spin it if you want to do that. Even having a 100-200’ scramble forehand will help shave a few strokes off every round
I’m 53 and anytime I’ve ever tried a forehand it sucked bad. After watching this video I tried the wine glass analogy and the slow start with my 12&13 speed understable drivers I had sitting on the rack. they work great for me on FH. My average BH is 180-190 very few over 220’. In 2 days my average FH is probably 200 with several 240-250’ with a lot less effort than BH.. and it felt great to use long FH shots on the course.
Are you in Massachusetts?
Yes!
Noah I would love another Burgess Park video. It’s my home course and your first one helped me out.
Next time i go down the cape for an episode itll probably be at the new Oak Crest course but theres a small chance i hit burgess again!
@@DailyDiscGolf that’s awesome. I still haven’t played at Oak Crest yet. I need to get a little better before I’m ready to jump to those par 4 and 5’s but I’m getting close! Thank You for the great content!
Great video thanks!
Thanks for the feedback Jason!
Pretty good tips, except the locking elbow. Locking the elbow like you advise here, ruins the power from your throw. None of the pros lock their elbow and neither do you when you demonstrate in this video. Great tips other than that!
It's more keeping the elbow tucked in and not letting it flail and get out of control, glad you were able to enjoy the video!
@@DailyDiscGolf i see!:)
Topic suggestions : Top ten courses in your area (with brief descriptions , reasons why , etc) , top ten courses you've played , if you couple take a disc golf vacation anywhere for a couple days where would it be ? why ? what courses would you play ? disc golf vacation location recommendations for others ?.....
Check out the “my dream layout” and “Massachusetts dream layout” videos! They’re pretty much exactly what you were suggesting in the first two, disc golf vacation would definitely be Finland or that new asland island place that Discmania helped open up a few courses at. Sorry to spoil the video ideas 😂😂😂 thanks for the support Naeda!
@@DailyDiscGolf I will definitely check out the videos. Thanks. I've heard briefly about the Island thing. I wasn't aware Discmania was involved.
I actually liked the suggestion to figuratively try and hold a drink on the disc during its swing.
Thanks Nick that’s one of my favorites as well!
@@DailyDiscGolf Seriously, I've never heard that before, and it makes so much sense. I'm a beginner who's mostly focused on backhand. I think I can start focusing more on forehand now. Thank you!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Woods of new englad?!?! I'm in New hampshire 🤙
Massachusetts!
@@DailyDiscGolf thats awesome! Great Chanel
Just learning forehands. Thanks for the tips👍
Glad you enjoyed 💪🏼💪🏼
I now have a nice Forehand that actually passes my BH in distance thanks for the video 👍
Great tips! Thanks!
Thanks for the feedback!
Good tips thanks man
Glad you enjoyed and learned something!
That’s where I was going wrong, I was swinging it from way back and doing it with power... and it just flops everywhere, so I’m trying these tips tomorrow and will give my feedback. Awesome vid andddddd PEACE OUT HOCK-SQUAD ✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼
PEACE out!! Haha let me know if it ends up helping!
Eww patriots shirt!
😁
Great video, man. Well done. Just stumbled across you and been working on improving my forehand, this helps. If you just ripped this one off quick, I can't wait to check out some others.
Thanks for the kind words :) I hope you find more that you enjoy and end up sticking around!
Great stuff bro! Anyone can have a 250ft flick with a little practice. I don't know how many times a 200ft flick got me out of a tough up-shot. The average disc golf player, at least on my local courses, throws either or and I just don't get it...
Couldn’t agree more Alan, it can really help save those valuable scramble strokes
Great video Huckman! First good instructional video on the forehand I've seem. I've got a terrible forehand and really want to improve it. This video might do it. Thanks!
Thanks John let me know if it ends up helping you out!
Good tips, Noah! I picture a beer mug 🍺 instead of a wine glass 🍷, but it still seems to work! 😂. But seriously, great help, I especially like the thought of snapping right in front of your core... not all the way from the reach-back. Thanks so much! 😎
Thanks for that feedback!! Let me know if it helps you in any way! And yes but a beer mug is more overstable than a wine glass 😏😏😏 haha
Absolutely great advice. I am currently forehand dominant with my game, easily reaching 350' and only getting about 300' with my backhand at the moment. Im starting to use backhand off the tie the majority of the time now because, well, its about time I work on bettering my technique. But one thing that I have over most of my backhand dominant friends is my scramble and flick approach shots. I recommend a Firebird for forehand approach in the 50'-150' range. It feels very comfortable for forehand and the over stability give you amazing dependability. One thing to note: you'll start to realize that only certain discs will feel right for throwing forehand, especially midrange and putt/approach discs. So find a midrange that feels comfortable to flick and that will hold a nice anhyzer line.
Awesome feedback Kalyn! Glad you’re finding success in the flick as thats similar to how I started playing. Big forehand anhyzer flex shots to get my distance and didnt have much of a backhand for a few years. I throw primarily Discmania so my firebird is the FD3 which I loved for a long time and even aced with but replaced recently with my dark maul 2, still a bit back and forth between them. Keep it up! 👏🏼👏🏼
Great job love it
Thanks tony !
Thank you :-)
No thank you!
