Absolutely Awesome video and great execution on instruction and what that problem actually looks like. The “opening up the hips” I honestly didn’t understand until now. Thanks Mr. Freeman
Best explanation ever! Added 25-50' first time out today after a little bit of fieldwork yesterday. Actually had several birdie attempts on par 3s that I'm usually happy with par.
But how do you just do that? It's great that i know what to do, but how do you just open up the hips or have a gap like that? I try when i throw normally and it just doesn't work, there's no gap, even when i try to exaggerate it.
I don’t think there’s a set rule that works for everyone, everyone throws different relative to your exposure to throwing sports as a youth. I think it’s almost a disadvantage if you played football or baseball for any amount of time and then switch to disc sports. Some of these guys that look like they have been playing video games their whole life (cuz they have) actually have a fresh untainted form focused solely on throwing a disc.
Love this video. One of my big frustrations with people who try to teach me how to throw (I know they mean well and are trying to help) is that there seems to be this secret disc gold language that highlights symptoms and not causes. I get told I'm reaching back too far, but I don't get told that I need to try and not overcurl my shoulder. I get told that I'm throwing nose up, but don't get told that it's because I'm reaching back to high and "dipping". You have a mindset that allows you to pull out what is relevant and helpful here, and it's awesome. Gonna work on this tonight.
Lifetime warranty? The warranty department doesn’t respond to emails. My Rufus bag is fairly new and has a warranty issue. Pretty disappointed at this point. 😢
This is the first negative story I've ever heard about their warranty program! I'm sorry to hear you've had trouble! Send me your email address and I'll see if I can help!
Been watching disc golf videos the past year on form...not one time did someone mention the window. I always wondered how to easily spin on the heel, this is how... thanks dude
Lift is the force that causes a disc to TURN due to gyroscopic precession. The domier a disc is the more lift will be generated. However, the domier a disc is the more drag will be generated. It's a balancing act that is influenced by the Rim Configuration. Angular velocity (aka spin) influences how resistance the disc is to varying from it's path. One aspect of discs that hasn't been talked about much is the flight plate thickness. The PDGA requires that it can be no more then 5mm. The force that resists angular torque is the Moment of Inertia. The higher the MOI, the more torque has to be applied to get the same angular velocity. MOI is influenced by the ration of rim mass vs flight plate mass. The thicker the flight plate is, the more mass it has which lowers the MOI. A disc with lower MOI is easier to hyzer flip. Temperature and elevation affect air density. air density influences airflow over the disc. airflow over the disc influences LIFT. At higher elevations or colder temperatures discs create less lift because of the decrease in airflow due to lower air density.
60 degrees is my choice. 50s are ok only in sunny conditions but mostly anywhere in the 60s is perfect weather and I sweat in most conditions except 60s and below 😂.
