Discraft Disc Golf Clinic: The Fastest Way To Improve 

We at Discraft recommend you keep it simple to start: a putter (Soft Magnet is our most popular), a midrange (Buzzz, Meteor, Comet, Hawk), and a couple of different drivers suitable for beginners (Avenger SS, Stratus, XL). There's plenty of tips in the Team section of our website... where you'll also find other video clinics. Cheers.

don't know any names in disk golf but I got to see part of the championships this year (2015) at Deer Lakes Park , Pa. Amazing what the pros can do. This is the first time i'm looking for tips I played about 50-60 rounds total since I've started playing in the past 4 year. I think I have potential but I know it's no where near how often I have to go for consistency. I've always thrown from the Pro tees (the farthest ones back). On 18 I'll birdie 1 or 2, par 6 to 8, screw up big 2-3 times like triple bogey and bogey the rest. It averages out roughly to bogey golf. On this 825 ft skinny fairway par 5 I can get within 50 ft by the time its my forth throw and I end up with a bogey almost all the time. My putting sucks!!!

I'll give my two cents here, play two games at once. Throw your first shot, and play your second correcting what you did wrong in the first. Quickest way to learn and retry each shot, and in the end your second game should have done better than the first.

Great to see Arthur Panegaly there! Played against him a few times in NZ.

great video!

I would like a video to explain the best way to loosen up before a round. The best practice place I found is a(an) (american) football field to see what my distances are for mid range shots vs the amount of power (arm and snap) I'm putting into it. Still trying to drive past 350ft, but I'm just in year one. These shorter shots are vital to my game. Great video.

very good video, show more, and maybe gets some on dvd. it's blurry on these computer.

Mark is telling the truth! I played with my cousin and his friends and I did just as good as them threw neg 2

I am having a hard time throwing those kinds of discs. I love frisbees

I have never played but will next week. Is the driver similar in distance to a 165g?

whats the best disc for an elevator shot? magnet?

holy shnikies! i'm from Berkley Michigan!

Any tips for a guy who is straining his shoulder on drives? It seems every time I go out for a round I leave with my shoulder in wincing pain.

I have the luxury of throwing both lefty and righty equally well so I don't work on the forhand shot as much as I should. I play endicott park and made it through last week at 6 over par not to bad for starting play a month ago.

@Medium0Rare it was at the beginning.

@r3dskins8947 Personally, I played for years with just a single midrange disc. But now I play with about 5 or so. 2 drivers one overstable, and one understable, and 2 midrange discs, the same. I'll also normally bring a disc I'm working with, or for a particular shot. Personally, I don't carry a putter.

It may be from the PDGA. I think after you become a member you get a rating at each tournament. Don't quite me on that though.......

Damn ellis has a nice forehand. Can you go into more depth in throwing it with a putter? You say just release flat, but more info is needed!

mark ellis is my uncle and he is a crazy sweet disc golf player

what is an average score for somebody playing for only four months? On an eighteen hole course. Say a medium difficulty. The best I have done on a fairly simple course is 1 above par. Is that decent? The best that I have done on a hard course is eight above.

I like how he calls all of their friends derelicts and they all just laugh and nod.

i think its similar to ball golf handicaps, indicating the skill level. what the numbers actually mean, i'm not sure

Best way to improve is to start by playing par 3 everything..Teaches you how to reach basket in 3 throws or less.. Seemed to work well for me at least.

@akronymn Yeah, I was better then my brother then he got better then me and Now I am getting better then him we are always trying to get better against each other. We always ask other players who we notice are better to play with us as well.

Most of them are from Michigan. I am from Michigan and I rarely see awesome players unless I go when they're doing leagues at Grand Woods. lol

i naturally throw a hyzer. I now know what changes to make lol.

the one person crouching at the beginning tought me disc golf

Well the elevator is pretty easy to figure out.

I own Kalamazoo. Actually Larry LaBond does.

5-10 years makes you consistant.

KALAMAZOO M!

@TheStinkfister how are you throwing, RHBH, your trying to put too much power in your throw, lessen up on it, the disc should rip from your grip, not you releasing the disc. Also your step might be messed up, practice daily walking an x-step until your comfortable running the x-step, then your shoulder should not hurt anymore

@Medium0Rare its really easy... no need to explain it
