@gavinbabcock7 Keep on shredding out there, mayne!!!

👉🏼 gang

Marwede too!

Hope it works great for ya!

So glad to hear that! Keep it up!

For sure! Less stable will fly more stable going up hill since the nose angle is up. I always throw less stable uphill for the most part depending on the shot and distance. Leaning over to the right allows more room for the hyzer to come through and also making sure the disc is below your elbow will insure that you are throwing hyzer

Thanks brotha! Good luck in Portland!

Let’s go! Glad it’s helping you out!

Glad you liked it! Hope fire first. My right knee will drop right before my elbow fires. If you can get your right knee and right elbow to fire forward at the same time as if they are synced up, that is ideal.

Glad you liked it! You got this!

​@@gavinbabcock7Dude, I'm buying some of your merch (and a beer or something if I ever run into you). Just did a little field work, focused only on setting my elbow and keeping arm outside of body. Every one came out clean, and the angle didn't vary more than a few degrees! FD3 and raptors about 320 or so and accurate. Form is a never-ending process, but this was EXACTLY the vid I needed right now 😎

@@DamonRipperLet’s go! So awesome that it was easy to apply and that it worked well for you!

@@jsballance2683 don’t start your swing until your front foot hits. As soon as your front plant foot hits everything starts coming forward. Much easier to time!

@@gavinbabcock7 Thanks. gotta put my net up and get some work in.

Venmo and PayPal are linked in the bio😏

Not sure how, but thanks!

These are really just on softer shots where it gets exaggerated. Normal speed shots there may be a little lag when I’m fully reached back since my lower body slightly fires first. I was trying to use my legs on a softer shot for the demo, but would usually standstill that type of shot.

I would recommend a Discmania DD or DD1!

I’m glad😂

I do not own or know of anyone that owns a c line tactic unfortunately.

I don’t want to give too much advice on that, but I’d do some research and maybe find some stretches!

Yes, an update would be great! You got this!

@@gavinbabcock7 I'll definitely practice this technique and give updates thanks for the content!

Angle control: -anhyzer the disc is above my elbow and i will be upright or may lean to the left -flat the disc is basically level and im upright to slightly leaning over to the right -hyzer the disc is below my elbow and I’m leaning over to the right to create more room. Speed control: I usually start at standstills and then go to incorporating a small run up and gradually extend the run up and use more lower body for longer shots. Distance control: a lot of times I will pick a disc that I can hit 85-90% and know it will only go like 30 long worst case. I usually change stability and speed to allow for a natural distance control. If you are able to hit a stock shot hard rather that having to be touchy with something faster, it will be more consistent.

@@gavinbabcock7 thanks Gavin. I think this reply highlights what you said in your video in limiting error and increasing consistency. Stock shot with disc selection allows that.

Take things slow and make sure to warm up.

Everything applies the exact same. The disc will just move opposite direction. I like overstable discs because they are more consistent and easy to shape shots. I still bag beat in/understable versions of stable discs to get straighter shots as well for touchier lines.

It definitely could be grip especially if you don’t get wobble with high speed discs. I have to do the split fan grip on lower speeds to get a clean release. Maybe mess around with some different grips, but also it’s a lot of trial and error of trying to find the clean release. If you go throw 20 mids/putters on short approach shots, you will start to figure it out. It could be a follow through thing as well so make sure you aren’t rolling it over and following your desired plane on the follow through.

@@gavinbabcock7 Thanks a bunch! Nice to get such a lengthy and well thought out responce. Any Babcock discs coming out soon?

@@OutriderFIN No problem! My signature disc will be coming out in a couple months!

I’ve personally never focused on the follow through or struggled with that. I would definitely keep a somewhat loose wrist but controlled if that makes sense. It shouldn’t be a limp noodle and also shouldn’t be super stiff. Finding a clean follow through can help too. Some people stop their momentum short which will rob you of distance.

I like to lean over a little more to my right (for a RHFH) and focus on keep my weight back a little more. It creates more room for the elbow to come through for the hyzer as well as adjust my body position for the height. I will also tend to lower my reach back as well.

I address how to control nose angle in the backswing which should help quite a bit. But if you are still struggling, then focus on following through on the plane you are throwing on. Match the release angle to the follow through. Start slow and build up speed once you develop a good feel for it!

Again, the hop isn’t for everyone. But when “hopping”, your head should also stay on the same plane. You aren’t hopping up and down. It’s more of a shuffle hop forward to load the back leg and drive.

Totally, I just don't get along with the slide hop. The backstep is so smooth, I'm a little shocked I've never seen anyone else do it.

That’s a pretty common spot to be sore especially jumping right into it. Make sure you stretch, throw some warm ups, and start slow. I usually like to throw about 10 sidearms slow just to warm up the motion and then about 10 or so more to fully warm it up gradually gaining power. But definitely start softer and slowly add power to avoid putting your shoulder into a ton of stress right away. Badminton racquet is a great warm up tool as well. A lot of pros use them to warm up forehand and backhand due to the air resistance you receive from it.

Most likely that is coming from grip. I would experiment with different grips maybe or if the grip is comfortable but still getting wobble I would take some putters and mids and go figure out how to flick them until you don’t get any wobble. It sometimes just takes reps and trial and error to figure out the clean release and wrist action.

You are not using you wrist, only arm to throw.

Haven’t played! Just using the place for fieldwork and putting!

@@gavinbabcock7 Saved yourself from losing some discs in the ferns lol. But at least the first 5 holes are nice if you're looking for some cardio with your disc golf.

MD5’s! Link to all my favorite forehand discs in the description!

Not sure, just snagged it from Walgreens hahaha.

They are definitely Vivo Barefoots of some kind

Magna Forrest Vivos!

@@bryansans2564 most definitely. More torque on the elbow.

@@gavinbabcock7 I’m at that stage 😢. Backhands for awhile until I can get the pain in check. Sucks cause my fh is my best skill 🤣

Don’t know if you caught what I said, but it’s simply for this style of footwork. I’m not saying it’s better, but a lot of us on tour use it and it’s highly efficient. Proper form will prevail, and that’s why this works so good with proper form. If you don’t have proper form, the walk up won’t work either. And no, I don’t see pitchers doing that, that’s why I didn’t state them. We don’t line up in a standstill like we are throwing down home plate. Love it or hate it, I don’t think you can generally assume that the population relates to one style of forehand run up. Pretty good mix out there. Thanks though!

a pitcher has to leave his back foot on the rubber. zero footwork

@@gavinbabcock7 Forgive the drunk comment. Let me elaborate on what I meant by "proper form" in relation to a pitcher. I actually used a pitcher as an example on purpose due to the lack of footwork and the reliance on proper body mechanics and timing. I'd venture to say its 90% of your distance/power/torque what have you. Consider it more of a devil's advocate point of view. I didn't mean to infer that this was the only way to do and that you were wrong. Just that quite a bit more research and proven mechanics would suggest that this would be a more relatable way to do it.

Pitchers throw 60.5 feet. Outfielder throw 300+ feet. The crow hop sounds good for distance.

Good video idea😂

Brace is unrelated, nice try though👊🏼

@@gavinbabcock7 🎯

MVP DOES things for the FH. Trust!

@@raidonbayenjoy your extremely flat discs with no glide😂

I may make a separate video on that. But really my hand finishes on the angle of the plane I’m throwing on and then naturally rolls over towards the ground because that’s what my body seems to like in order to protect my shoulder. Trying to turn your hand over on purpose may result in rolling your wrist so I would say start slow and follow through on your desired plane, but don’t force anything. Start slow, get a feel, and build up speed once you have found your follow through.

@@gavinbabcock7 an important aspect of the throw that is very clear in the video but not really mentioned is the hip rotation. Need to get the hips facing forward before release to avoid forearm pronation. Not getting your hips facing forward is the main cause of "rolling" your wrist and causing the disc to turn over into a forehand throwller.

Video was unplanned so my mic was at home. Thanks though👍

You got this!

@@gavinbabcock7do you have tips for elbow soreness from forehand ? Or is that normal?
