Disc golf has changed so much.

@tetryl1 13 лет назад

Gotta love this guy, makes the best instructional videos out there. Still won't get me using backhand though hehe, just too sucky with it I can't do it. Every sport I've played(including golf for 17 years) has been with "forehand style" so backhand feels awkward and theres no power at all. Lucky to get 100 feet with backhand, double with fore while standing still.

@jayrepairs 9 лет назад

Thank you for your video. It was clear, straight to the point. I just started playing and it has shown me much more than just watching people at the course.

@Ihatecabinetmoths 11 лет назад

Played for my second time today, after three years. Felt awesome!!

@abraves119 16 лет назад

great video!! good setup like zoop said. there have been many times where a forehand would come in handy, but i have a lot of trouble with them. can't wait to go out and try these new forms and grips when it stops raining!

@54spiritedwill54 16 лет назад

These videos are great. I hope they keep them coming.

@zachrs43 13 лет назад

thanks for all the helpful videos, I look forward to adding the forehand to my skills list

@TEAMWRIGHTEOUS 12 лет назад

Did some practicing with this grip today. Actually made a big difference. Thanks for the vid.

@pmcnutty 14 лет назад

Mark Ellis you rock. These vids are very helpful

@TIKOMIX 15 лет назад

I am a dominate forehand driver like Mr. Ellis. My backhand drives are terrible. Split fork grip and I get tons of spin. Average 430'. Best thing about forehand drives is that it doesnt take as much movement to get the disc out. I've been recently working on a forehand hyzer flip which looks fantastic when thrown low to the ground.

@algarete25 17 лет назад

Mark Ellis,Nice Video...Thanx for the pointer on 9:30.On my forehand throw I usually throw it going left an it'll head right and when I thorw an release it,I let my right knee touch the ground,.That style of throw just gets me exhausted. All I wanted it to do is to go straight an flat...My game has improved.Farther thows an alot of birdies..Friends say "Where the hell did that come from?! :-) ...FROLFING!

@jerrydolezal5754 11 лет назад

Very informative. It took me years to figure out I'm forehand dominant.

@Jezze90 9 лет назад

I didn't know that George Lucas knew how to do this :D

@zoop504 16 лет назад

thank you this helped a lot -set up very nicely .

@Geoffr524 17 лет назад

Got to get back to Disc Golf, been too long. I have known Mark Ellis, back when we played Disc Golf weekly in the 1990s, at Kensington Metro Park in SE Michigan. I like Disc Golf better than geocaching. This is a good video.

@muffinman91x 11 лет назад

Hey kjetle. I've only been playing for a couple month, but I'm forehand dominant, and I snap every time. Having the last minute snap will help the disc have more spin and stay stable longer. If you are having a problem with the disc constantly going over left, try not to roll your wrist over. Keeping the palm flat to the sky after release is key in keeping your directed path.

@wallacegrommit 17 лет назад

i disc forehand only. ive disced so much forehand that ive lost almost all my usual backhand talent. i love the forehand for distance, and backhand only for approach and putt.

@forehandturkey 13 лет назад

@reyno1fan619 Keep your wrist pointed up on the follow through. pull your fingers through the shot, a forehand is more in the fingers and less in the arm. if your throws are turning over, you are turning your wrist over too much on hard throws without relative strength wrist snap at the end. a disc golf won't turn as hard as an ultimate disc, if it does just get an ape or a boss. good luck turning those over.

@sandtthomas1 12 лет назад

This is some good info. I have been playing for a week now and I go with the forehand throw, I am horrible with the backhand throw. I will extend my arm to the back, then pull in bringing my elbow in close, then bring my forearm out and snap the wrist at the end. Doing it this way does cause a little pain but it is getting better. Im still going to experiment. Thanks for the info.

@jsnydR24 11 лет назад

Being a baseball player, I love this video, should help a ton!

@jsnydR24 11 лет назад

Same here, played my whole life (19 now) and can only throw 250ish backhand. After hearing this, I'm pretty excited to go out and practice forehand

@gydigh 15 лет назад

One thing I have learned from playing disc golf for awhile is that if you ask 20 people how to throw a disc drive or how to putt,you will get 20 different answers. I think you take all those answers take little bits and pieces from each and then work on the drive or putt that works best for you. whether it is exactly what they say or drive or putt of your own invention. Above all practice,practice,practice! and when your through with that....practice some more.

@suneet67 16 лет назад

disc golf frisbees are slightly smaller than a typical ultimate frisbee and are sold in various brands, styles, weight, and color.

@fatmanslim519 12 лет назад

The information in this video is amazing and helps a ton! Would it ever be possible to do a remake so we could see the disc flight better? Other than that, thanks for the information!

@waytoomany16 16 лет назад

forehand is the way to go. i always get mine close to the hole

@elephantricity 15 лет назад

Lets go discraft team!! Make some more disc golf tutorial videos!! I wanna see a trick shot vid!

@briantibbs225 9 лет назад

Great info for a beginner like myself

@spikesmth 16 лет назад

1 Year, Lefty 4Hand Dominant.. I'm from a volleyball background and I notice how the same kill motion in vball hitting translates to my 2 step snap, only I have to hunch my back over so the motion is horizontal. Frolf is the Chill Life!

@Bullgrad47 11 лет назад

I had no idea Mick Foley plays disc golf.

@DannyE5 16 лет назад

Usually, you'll need to play with a distance driver, a mid range disc and a putter. The putter is one that more resembles a "normal" frisbee that you would throw at the dog. Discs, are stated above, have sharp edges as shown in the video but the putter discs are more round edged. You really cannot play well with a big clumsy frisbee, it wont drive well and it wont get you much distance when it is needed, but it will serve well for putting.

@MrNa8er 13 лет назад

i only put one finger under the disc. i get alot more distance like that . i can probley throw about 425 ft. with my side arm. im jus now figuring my backhand out. only been playing for a year now but disc golf is my life. it probley has saved my life cause the road i was on was a bad one but now i have the greatest game to turn to. oh yeah discraft has the best disc ever

@TheJohnnyh13 12 лет назад

was looking for ultimate - g.l. helped me well. frisbee madness,every tue, 20pm, in front of the max-schmelling-halle, berlin.

@Artificialraven 17 лет назад

Great Video. Helped improve my distance and accuracy. Now i just need to see one on putting xD 5/5

@discraftdiscgolf 18 лет назад

We aim to please... and aim for chains. More disc golf clinics like this are on the way.

@omgshave 13 лет назад

@okamasphere u know that snapping a towel is a classic way that baseball pitchers work on there pitching? its just a very goot day to work on flickin your wrist

@spikesmth 16 лет назад

Also, I notice the Backhand Dom (r-handers)step the right pivot foot BEHIND the left foot. The key to smooth sidearm is to step over & in FRONT of that left foot like a quarterback or pitcher keeping your weight forward and starting the snap from the hips thru the spine, shoulder, arm to fingertip.

@TheVosack 11 лет назад

I am a forehand dominant player. I have gotten fairly good with my accuracy, now I need to work on my distance.

@gogopossum 14 лет назад

@NintendoZest Yes a forearm is the same as a sidearm. It is also commonly called a flick, and I know some that call it a "rope" (not sure the meaning/origin of this).

@jopenhagenlongcut 11 лет назад

super dope stealie disc at 2:30 where you get one o dem at???

@cpjackson79 14 лет назад

A good thing to think about, backhand or forehand: Try to feel the weight of the disc as you go to throw. If you don't relax your wrist and arm, you won't be able to. This idea is essential to turning your arm into a whip, which leads to snap. Practicing with understable discs will enhance you control, too. They'll want to turn over when you overpower them or throw them with any flutter. Sometimes, overstable discs mask bad habits.

@BlueDevi1s 14 лет назад

I was thinking the same thing on 400 ft. being limited. Being close to 300 ft your first time out is really good. You should be able to improve the more you play by changing the flight path (slight annyhyzer) is great for most discs and perfecting your technique. I started off with drives around 250 a couple years ago and now can get around 350. Keep practicing though and you should see improvements!

@JustDaveLake 13 лет назад

@sindude300 Thats the difference between ft and yards. Golf is normally measured in yards.

@filoIII 9 лет назад

So, we need a Discraft disc w/ the arrow pointing to the left when attempting forehand drives?????

@TEAMWRIGHTEOUS 12 лет назад

You definitely need both throws. I am actually trying to step up my flick shot(I suck at it..lol). Not being able to do both will get you in trouble real quick on some courses. Good luck.

@DigitalAssassin 17 лет назад

Agreed -- sounds like my game exactly.

@DannyE5 15 лет назад

Dude, youtube has taught me how to become a master putter, taught me how to improve my flicks and taught me how to throw a roller. Just watch pro competitions and you'll learn a lot. Yes, real life experience helps too, but you don't know what to practice until someone tells you...

@guitarino1 6 лет назад

Thanks Mark. I may learn to throw forehand yet, with your help. - (orange-man) Bob :-)

@Crimsonfangg 13 лет назад

@gydigh exactly right. Like mark said; everyone has different bodies there for everyones throw is going to vary.

@xanbo 17 лет назад

OK, can't wait for spring lol.

@goblindealer 17 лет назад

nice vid as a new player to the game im looking for any info .. threw my arm out a couple of times learning it. i can throw farther and with more control then with my back hand .. but ive also made a 40 foot and a 60 foot up shot with a forearm throw lucky?? thanks for the vid

@BLUEBUBBLEify 12 лет назад

im a forehand thrower, ITS FUN

@forehandturkey 13 лет назад

@NickDelaney123 Well, in Ultimate, it's more beneficial to have your left foot as a pivot, to reach out farther as a righty. But for the pull, it doesn't matter. I throw right handed, leading with left in both ultimate and disc golf. ultimate, i throw a forehand pull ~100 yards and disc golf around 500 feet. My throw is like swinging a bat as hard as i can with a wind up and an uppercut. just put a disc in your hand with a hard snap at the end.

@BeataDrumm 9 лет назад

Mark - where you have elbow issues with bending too much, I have shoulder issues from keeping my arm straight and pulling back so much. My distance is suffering by changing to the bent elbow, but at least I can still get out there this season!

@blargy7283 9 лет назад

BeataDrumm I'll say that for me, if my elbow hurts, it's because my timing was off between my arm and my body. I can feel it when my timing is off, my arm whips through awkwardly and it puts more pressure on my elbow and shoulder. I've done rounds of a mere 12 holes that lead to elbow pain, and long days of 54 holes with no pain at all. As far as I can tell, it's all in the timing of my swing and making sure my arm and body are moving together. This is just how my body works and reacts to being a forehand dominant player, I don't know if you experience the same thing.

@davidmiles8384 9 лет назад

Lol critter bill just gettin BTFO in the beginning

@BoognishWhoo 15 лет назад

lol love the grateful dead putter

@doc420 17 лет назад

i want that disc!!!

@masterexploder83 16 лет назад

technically, frisbee is a brand name, like band-aid and kleenex, that has been generally adopted as the common name for a product. the discs are discs, not frisbees. they are smaller, heavier, and harder to throw/control but will fly so much further than an ultimate disc.

@dvannooski 10 лет назад

I'm a baseball player, and this is the shot that is missing from my disc golf game, because I'm so used to throwing a baseball, and swinging a bat right handed, and it causes my disc to wobble a lot, or turn over way too much, and fly way off track, or end up a roller, when i wasn't even trying to throw a roller.

@atrizzleness 13 лет назад

@rrndom Its commonly referred to as tennis elbow, usually affiliated with tendonitis in the elbow. Look up some stretching exercises so your not over extending those tendons.

@mada362005 17 лет назад

lol i just got home from kennsington metro park and saw mark ellis practicing his putting there. hes good

@kjetle 11 лет назад

Hey, i just started disc golf, and im having a hard time throwing forehand. I had some good one, but it only seems to come when i have a real snap in my wrist (pushing my wrist back before the throw), and as i seen in other videos your not suppose to do that. But if i don't do it, it just lean over to the left, and start a freaking roll. So saying all over i can't get it to be straight, and tips, or earlier experience?

@Tmanz420 11 лет назад

Third baseman analogy is right on. But use an x-step. Better Momentum.

@ktrock77 6 лет назад

Wow, 1000 hours later; that's a lot of practice. I go out to the field and throw a lot discs in an hour. I would need to do that 1000 times 😱

@1993russy 14 лет назад

imagine one of this dudes plays ultimate, they would be one hell of a sick handler haha!

@csidesuicide 15 лет назад

this is a good vid. I got a white GD disc like his :)

@Ebbybuddy 16 лет назад

I was about to post the same thing! Didn't know Lucas was a disc golfer lmao

@bugred 16 лет назад

no you need to know both, wht if you need to throw forehand to get the opposite of your naturla curve, doing both throws will help you a lot, trust me

@TheGCode 13 лет назад

Popped something in my shoulder driving forehand. Any ideas what I may have done. Pull-ups and the like hurt quite a bit weeks later.

@XpoZuReProductionZ 11 лет назад

No. I don't really fully understand what you're trying to say, but I'll explain it to you. Forehand - Hyzer: fades right, Anhyzer: fades left (opposite of hyzer; all there is to it) Backhand - Hyzer: fades left, Anhyzer: fades right See that wasn't hard was it? Hyzer just means the predictable fade on whatever throw style you throw the disc with.

@creativewatcing 15 лет назад

there could be more of these vids..

@Wawa297 11 лет назад

I do not have a very consistent forehand, does anybody have any tips for how I could get a consistent forehand going?

@atrizzleness 13 лет назад

@xNLGxlegendz It's a lot like throwing a baseball.. A baseball's velocity and movement has a ton to do with wrist snap.

@cdw86 14 лет назад

how do the ratings on a disc translate to the forehand drive? Aren't the ratings backwards for forehand?

@getaloadofchucker 13 лет назад

what's your grip aid in wet weather?

@BrendanWhelan 16 лет назад

is a disc the same as a frisbee? or a specialized type of disc?

@NickDelaney123 13 лет назад

Can anyone tell me why, in Disc Golf, a forehand drive is contralateral (leads with the left foot for right hand), where in Ultimate, a forehand huck/pull is ipsilateral (power step is right foot for right hand)?

@skrap73 15 лет назад

WOW! George Lucas can really throw a mean forehand drive with his Grateful Dead disc.

@DannyE5 16 лет назад

OMG my stomach hurts thats too funny...that dude really does look like him.

@scherer321 16 лет назад

i agree with bugred

@themoderateextremist 13 лет назад

@edgar04200 he was like "andy's forehand probably looks like yours." ... umm...no, Andy was kicking my butt.

@Jarlentjermian 12 лет назад

@ShootersTouchShots All the time dawg.

@cca0511ecu 13 лет назад

@gydigh Agreed. Besides isnt constant fun and play what DG is all about? :-)

@reyno1fan619 13 лет назад

i have a normal catch disk not a disc golf disk and when ever i try to do a for hand it just flops or rolls why is this and should i get a disc golf disk

@srjnibs3 14 лет назад

@sbent518 Yeah, I have never even seen a Dead disc golf disc with a stealie.

@sbent518 14 лет назад

damn i want that Grateful Dead disc!!!!!!!

@DuckwalkSupreme 14 лет назад

400 ft. is limited? Damn! I just started today, only have about 90 minutes of playing time to my career, but I'd KILL for even 300 ft....Actually I may have gotten close to 300 feet today, but I don't think I'd be able to get 400 feet ever. The course near my house has a 427 foot hole and with my forehand throw I got within 150 feet of the hole, after 3 times through the course. How much improvement in distance did you guys see in your drives after the first few months or first year?

@JRaab311 13 лет назад

@gydigh dont think if you ask 20 diff people youll get 20 diff answers

@TheFloridaPappy 11 лет назад

When I try to throw forehand it tears the muscles on the inside (palm of the hand side) of my forearm. Last time I tried it, I threw about 5 times and my arm was deeply bruised just about from my wrist to my elbow. Took a couple of weeks to heal. Anyone see this before?
