Thank you for creating videos that focus on the "feeling" versus your technical videos. I appreciate both, but sometimes it's easier to "feel" than to work on technicalities.
I'm gonna be honest I absolutely love the way you break it down, keep it simple, and get down to the basics. You have a way of teaching that goes so far beyond what many other coaches do..in my opinion(no disrespect to any of them of course). I just really like how you break it down! Awesome job and I feel as if you can really help me a lot!
I watch so many form videos but somehow YOURS always leave me feeling confident in what I need to work on. You have a great energy around you and I love the way you explain everything. Thank you so much for doing what you do. 🙏
Had a great round today and finally won against one of my biggest rivals (one of my best friends) :D Your videos have helped a lot especially with my timing/plant the foot. Thanks again for another great video.
Love your instructional videos Spin Doc! You explain and break it down different than others in a way that somehow it clicks. After watching your vids I’ve added about 30-50’ of distance on my BH throws. I was maxing around 375 feet BH but now can reach 425 feet on a good rip. Appreciate what you bring to the game! My FH has always been solid 350-375 feet but excited to be able to utilize and throw more lines. Because if you’re not trying to improve, what are you doing??!?
"Let's get down to business"! Can I say how much I enjoy your coaching? Thank you, X 100! Having played hockey most of my young life, it hit me when you suggested checking with your shoulder! You have a great way of communicating what you want us to feel. And English is your second language. Amazing!
Gained maybe 100 - 150 feet of effortless distance over the summer by watching your stuff and putting in the hard work! Now that I can out drive people at league night, I will need to learn how to score well on the course during the off season haha
Wow, noting that the stretch comes from the elbow instead of the hand is huge for me. I've been working on this, and it's been really hard to feel the stretch from my hand. Thinking of the elbow helps a ton!
Yeah, the hand is not that important really. The separation between the hips and the shoulders is, and the extension of the lower arm adds very little or nothing to it.
Thanks Doc. I was diagnosed with can’t throw past 300 feet many years ago and I quit trying. But now that I found your videos I know I was using my arm all those years. 🤯
Is it a problem if my back leg comes violently behind my front when I throw? I look at a lot of pros and their back leg sort of just a gently picks up off the ground
So to clarify. You need to activate the lats like if your doing a one armed bent over row. Does that mean the scapula retracts also to help make the arm fire?
To clarify: HELL NO. Never did I say to activate the lats. You stretch it, not pull it. If you had watched my videos, you would know I'm strictly against what you're implying. You must keep the elbow out and far away from the body, so everything else but to retract the scapula. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fNkTAjzgafQ.htmlsi=Skk2o4e5571net06
Hey bud! Love your teaching skillz. I have a ?. So Josh says to be on toes during coil. Im on toes while i xstep, but then when i start my coil, my foot falls.flat. is this a problem?
Like the instruction here ... subbed. What about driving the left arm down? It looks like McBeth makes his back "wider" by doing this which is another stretch to create power.
Love your style brother and as always good stuff. 👍 I’ve been thinking about how to achieve this paul Mcbeth motion and watching your videos. I’m starting to think It’s beginning to happen. What real has driven it home , is when I began starting from a stand still, and weight shifting forward with my hand going to the hit position. If you imagine a bull whip in your hand and with a horizontal movement instead of overhead, as you draw the whip backwards and then begin stepping forward you have to wait before you can actually pull the whip forward for the cracking back to the hit point. If that makes sense. Appreciate your videos. Thanks
I’ve been rebuilding my form over the last year and it’s been a crazy ride but you’ve really helped a lot, thanks! The latest videos have been pinpointing every next step.
One thing: Paul's left arm starts moving forward at the same time as his weight starts shifting forwards. So he will be compact when the rotation starts. This is something I haven't achieved. For some reason it's too hard to implement.
Not exactly, unless you have troubles opening too early. I teach people to stop the body momentum forward, continue with the elbow and then let the momentum continue around the spine. But if you only try to rotate, your momentum is not going forward to stop, and it leaks to the side. Rotation is a by-product of stopping the momentum, not the aim.
Sounds like more of a grip issue. When you grip your disc with more fingers, you might be backloading your grip with your ring finger and pinky. When youre 4 finger power gripping, focus prominently on the index finger, that's the most important one.
I think I figured out a way to get this stretch feeling messing around in the field this morning after watching this video earlier. I basically rip my lead arm forward (like I am backhanding someone) and throw elbow behind me with my back arm (like in a self defense situation). Once I feel stretch I plant the lead leg.
Fair I have hit a point where feel vs real makes teaching a swing so hard. Certain timer and feel points when legs and hips are mentioned never click. The upper body timers have been the only ones to click with me.
I doubt it. I mean, if you do everything else perfectly, you may try to add something from the off arm. But focusing on the off arm instead of the things that contribute 98% of the throw is just wasted effort. I consider it the supplement of backhand form; you can't fix your poor diet and sloppy workout routine by taking supplements, but if you want to add that extra 2% of gains, you can try and take some creatine and see if it helps. Otherwise, just stick to the basics.
From what I see, the off arm contributing to the backhand rubber band (as seen in the sling shot disc golf channel) effect seems to be a more high level form add on. There're a lot of other parts of the form that should be focused on before that. As long as your arm gets tucked into your body at the appropriate time, it's on the right track
@@dgspindoctor thank you for your reply! I was asking because I want to locate that right tension on the back under the shoulder blade. When I extend my right hand backwards and I do the opposite movement with the off arm, I feel much more tension. I just wondered if this is what the off arm achieves but I think I misunderstood. Thank you for clarifying!
@@bobdmbThe off arm does load the back, which is why Paul McBeths off arm starts driving before the disc is moving forward. When you do it correctly (which is hard) you can feel the rubber band effect through the upper back and how the off arm jump starts the throw
