"Nothing ever comes from being stiff" I loled

@woodystylezz 12 лет назад

Discraft's video's, including this one, are my warm ups before going out to play serious. If you are like me you will notice a large change in your game if you watch this and others just before going out to play. The little tips are fresh in your head. Thanks for the tips, because of them I am not beating, but competing with low level pro's though I'm pretty new.

Stopped a quarter of the way through to like this video. Excellent job, great video.

@DiscGolfNerd 13 лет назад

Scott is the man. I bought some sweet plastic from him at the Beaver State Fling a few weeks ago. He is a super nice dude. I told him I loved his vids and he gave me a free hat with my disc. Cheers Scott.

For a first timer. It helped me a lot. Best instructions so far.

@lancenuttman 14 лет назад

Thank you! I've seen all of your videos, and wish this had been the first I had seen instead of the last. Great focus on the basics!

@ackarnes 12 лет назад

I've been playing for six months, and this helped improve my throwing significantly. Thanks.

@Holsinger60 12 лет назад

I've been a forehand guy for years. Trying to make the transition to backhand. Was amazed how much this vid helped. Nice job, Coach.

@noelduke4904 9 лет назад

This is the best guide to what to do as a new player. I recommend it all the time. I still visit for a personal reminder. I'm always telling myself, pull the string! Great job Scott.

Inventor of the whip right here ^^

@papatarttube 10 лет назад

Well, it's either amateur or pro and I haven't played and amateur tourney in....well.....a long time. So Pro it is and darn proud of it! Oh yeah, I know that Gatorade is waiting for the right time to offer me a commercial deal!

@papatarttube 13 лет назад

Thanks for all of the nice comments. I am rather shy so this is really making me blush..... As for more, yep, we will be getting more out there for you! Thanks for the request on the hyzer flip, we will try to get into that a little more in the future. Let us know if there is anything else you may have questions on and we will see what else we can do. Later!

@TAYLORsquad1017 11 лет назад

@rachelmeek4126 6 лет назад

Thank you for this great video. It is very helpful with great instructions and tips.

@Travis1993a 12 лет назад

Ive been throwing sidearm for the past couple months and I havent been able to throw backhand, until now. Your lawnmower tip helped me out so much. Thanks.

@chrismoss2389 12 лет назад

Thanks! can't wait to try these tips on the course today!

@schecter420 12 лет назад

Added to favorites. I can't wait to use these tips on the golf course :)

@CubbyCPie 9 лет назад

This is the best instructional video to watch! I've watched a lot go videos to improve my game and this gave me that information I was seeking! Good techniques and the towel trick does wonders! It may seem silly but it really helps!!

@Heavymetalcheesehead 13 лет назад

Very nice video. I just picked up the sport 2 weeks ago. Bought 5 discs so far. 3 different drivers, the buzz mid, and a putter. My hardest part myself is distance and keeping it down. This is gonna help out a lot. Thx so much.

@xN3VERMIND 12 лет назад

This is truly one of the best videos on driving techniques.

@YoItsMikey138 12 лет назад

WOW! The lawnmower tip makes SO MUCH SENSE! It helped alot. Thanks!

@UncleWillie88 5 лет назад

Newbie here. Video is just what I needed to learn it right the first time!

@N1c2k3 9 лет назад

Super helpful and clear. Thanks guys.

@Scytherene122190 11 лет назад

I just started disc golfing with a semi-experienced friend lately, and I am going to try out these techniques later today; they seem sooo much better than what I've been told to do lol.

@keydetpiper 13 лет назад

Great pointers for a beginner. I'm looking forward to trying this out.

@ghrostad 13 лет назад

Best basic throwing video ever. Thanks!

@907NomadProductions 11 лет назад

@taenker 14 лет назад

Awesome, by far the best about basics..

@yermommy777 12 лет назад

he's a great teacher!

@MikroFonisti 9 лет назад

Thanks for the tutorial, really made sense how to throw it!

@Two_Buck 13 лет назад

Awesome video. I love your teaching stile.

@smokinmnpurps 12 лет назад

I switched from side arm to back hand in under a week because of this video and the people that played back hand that i play with who have been using back hand for years i could throw farther and more accurate within my first week of switching. My max side arm was probably about 350 feet or so and back hand i've gone over 400 feet but i've been using back hand for like 3-4 months now! These tips are great thanks alot.

@ilikecheetos12 13 лет назад

wow, this is the best disc golf instructional on throwing

@Znorps 13 лет назад

Great video. Answered sooooo many questions I had after trying out my first disc today. Do you have a video explaining the different disc weights, and where you'd want a lighter/heavier disc?

@mkeefer29 13 лет назад

Best instructional video ive seen yet

@twistedrivermusic 13 лет назад

Thank you for the great advice we got motivated

@CntrBrdr 12 лет назад

I've been playing for about 5-6 years and of late my shots have gotten a little stale, and the scores plateau. Backhand throws never worked because when I needed distance, I hurt my shoulder trying to heave it. This video shows that the elbow is the final pivot point of a whip that you have to learn to generate - this will save my shoulder and improve distance. Thanks Papa

@supertosspot 10 лет назад

damn - I've no chance then - I've always had an elecrtic lawnmower.

@mizerychamber 6 лет назад

LMAO @ "its a moon shot"! great video, thank you. I spent 30 minutes with a hedgeclipper trying to0 find my driver today after horribly failing and throwing my disc over a fence, into a heavy thornbushed forest. NOT FUN! Then proceeded to throw incorrectly with all my other shots because my mechanics were so off. I don't watch videos. I just wing it. I found out, that without a skilled partner, or video help, playing disc golf will be very miserable. SO, here I am watching vid after vid trying to improve and start over. This vid helped so much, THANK YOU! I might not suck so much tomorrow.

@lilBugger35 14 лет назад

Awsome Tips very easy to follow. Thanks guys.

@petrhouska1431 10 лет назад

I wish i´ve seen this couple of months before :( well done, sir!!!

@FlyveHest 13 лет назад

@JakexOstr 12 лет назад

thanks, this helped a lot and i will be buying my first few disks soon

@chessleyyearwood4550 11 лет назад

@sparkythebuilder 12 лет назад

Fantastic video!!!

@LuzyAtTheDisco 13 лет назад

TY so much 4this video! Helped me a lot!

@defineboredom 14 лет назад

Great video! I would like to see a video on throwing a hyzer flip or S. Now that the basics have been shown, and there is a video on the anhyzer, I think it would be a nice addition to the collection.

@Indyfedora 12 лет назад

Great video

@chuckmcguck 13 лет назад

i have been thowing discs for 30+ years, this is the best video I have seen, the person who voted it down, grrr

@JordanSoftDong 12 лет назад

This video is 110% accurate. Thanks

@ericengblade 10 лет назад

Cool vid to think about going back to basics after playing for a bit.

@jonathankBlair 10 лет назад

I watched this before the first time I ever played. It is great. I send it to people before their first time.

@c00lhand208 10 лет назад

Nice addition at the end. I've been trying to figure out why I've been over throwing so much. I've just started playing and I had someone telling me the basic concept to throwing, but every single time I drive or try throwing hard it's releasing from my hand way way too late. I started thinking maybe I was simply gripping it too hard or that instead of trying to let the force of my throw rip it from my grip maybe I need to start purposely releasing the disk at a specific point in my toss, but when I do that I lose all kinds of power and the disk doesn't fly well. Anyways, all of this over thinking was driving me nuts so I went looking for RU-vid help to solve my throwing issue.

@mgsvet42294 11 лет назад

Great video thanks!

@SONEXSIXNINEONE 13 лет назад

Good tips - thanks!

@Momzilla1975 12 лет назад

@2002maxum1 Yeah, I want to see me throw too! Well, you may just get that chance as we have done some more filming over the summer and one of the things we shot for was an approach video where I threw a LOT of discs. Depending on what is actually video worthy, you will hopefully be able to see me trying to practice what I preach....heeheehee. Thanks for the kind words and we will keep trying to get more videos out for ya'! Thanks, Papa

@QuintonWatsonDesign 13 лет назад

I think that this was very helpful as well, i just ordered some Discraft beginner set so i can go out and play with my roommates.

@bvotava 12 лет назад

Great tips.

@g0ing2n0where 14 лет назад

Lots of good tips, very cool. Been playing on occasion for about a year now, gotten to where i can putt and drive reasonably well. Ive become accustomed to throwing forehand and i feel like i can get reasonably good distance, but it does appear that many of the more professional players throw backhand. Are there serious strengths to backhand throwing and is it something i should learn to use for my drives or can forehand throws be strongly developed to also gain great distance?

@garlandbeamer 10 лет назад

great video

@Kaedemoon267 13 лет назад

This is very helpful. I am a beginner and never had any real disc training, and its embarassing when I play with friends, since they're on a league. Thank you!

@69UM24OSU12 12 лет назад

I just recently tried disc golf for the first time and I felt like the frustrated beginner on regular golf course who duffs every shot. I think these tips will help.

@2002maxum1 13 лет назад

Thanks Scott, great tips. Getting ready to head out to a local course and try them all. Next time you do a video though, lets see you throw too : O )

@Noruko1234 14 лет назад

@g0ing2n0where One of the big reasons most pros use backhand is because it yields more power than you can get from forehand. If you look at their form, they're using their legs (approach), their hips, their back, and then their arms in one fluid motion for a throw. All of that force is transfered into the disc. For forehand, while you can use your feet and hips slightly, most of the force is derived from the chest and arm. Forehand does however result in more spin on the disc.

@papatarttube 13 лет назад

@reyno1fan619 Whether a driver throws farther tan a putter is a bit of a trick question...it depends on how you throw it. A driver is certainly designed to throw farther but you need the skill set to make this work. As a person that is just beginning with golf discs, I would suggest starting with a stable midrange (Meteor, Comet, Buzzz SS) as these are designed also to go farther than a putter, but will be easier to control and learn with. Also, much easier to use as a putter.

@PittsburghRecordingStudio 6 лет назад

This is the greatest sport!!!!

@ensjesse 12 лет назад

Thanks!

@aeonblue2771 11 лет назад

I wonder when the lawnmower analogy came about. When I first started playing I drove with a more fluid smooth motion.. a friend told me to act like I was starting a lawnmower, so I started cracking my elbow as if I was pulling the disc. It's kinda corny but it increased my distance and accuracy and I still think about it when I play. Good teaching tool

@badgerallen 13 лет назад

@verstehetmich So are you saying to reach forward when I am done or is that what could be causing it? I have been working more on my follow through and it seems to be helping I have also gained a bit more distance with some new discs and a tweak in my throw. Thank you for your help!

@tommyhodges 6 лет назад

Does Scott Papa have a signature disc or if nothing else an autographed disc because I want it. This guy is an amazing instructor!

@andristic 14 лет назад

@g0ing2n0where the best players use both. you generally use backhand like 70% and forehand for those other special shots that need a certain flight path you can't get with backhand

@Momzilla1975 12 лет назад

@Znorps I was back in Michigan at the factory and we did film some more stuff for videos. One of the vids we did work on was a "how to select a disc" video. I can't say for sure what will make the video and what will hit the cutting room floor but it may help. Do you have any specific weight questions (particular style of disc, stability, etc)? If so, then I may be able to answer your questions here. Thanks, Papa

@rsr2 11 лет назад

Yes of course :D

@davidmiles8384 9 лет назад

Ok so I'm a scratch golfer and am just starting to throw discs so I'm very familiar with these mechanics and form but one question i had. Do you transfer you weight forward as soon as your arm starts going forward to throw? Or should your weight shift be the first movement and the the arm/shoulders? I'm having MAJOR issues throwing a disc correctly lol I'm very inexperienced with discs/frisbees.

@23RonneJ 13 лет назад

@jrajkumar77 12 лет назад

Great video.

@YungHasbulla 9 лет назад

Hi, I'm extremely new, and want to get into disc golf. I've played only a handful of times using my friend's discs. When buying disc's it seems that there are a lot of different weight options, how do I know which one is best for me?

@Underpantsniper 11 лет назад

keep the side of the disc thats opposite of where your hand is located pointed slightly up when releasing it, when you get it right it will anhyzer in a S pattern instead of just curving off to the left if you throw right handed.

@rsr2 12 лет назад

Yeah it can be frustrating at first when playing, but you are just developing your throw. That actually takes time until you find your throw that you feel comfortable with. Everyone is different but once you figure it out, all do from there is improve :D

@MKEdubstep 13 лет назад

and say YES!

@reyno1fan619 13 лет назад

Does a driver shoot further than a putter or does it all have to do with technique and i have just a normal everyday frisbee does that make a difference ti the distance

@pappafly 13 лет назад

1 person thought this was a "ball golf" tutorial

@WallaceDeGrammit 12 лет назад

@Memmott7 Looks like there's four of them

@badgerallen 13 лет назад

I don't know if I'm just a wimp or if my throw has something to do with it, but sometimes my throwing elbow gets really sore. I think it have something to do with my follow through which i have been trying to correct. Any tips?

@davidmiles8384 9 лет назад

Also, what is a good beginner run up I cold work on? Basically right now I'm just rhwoing from a baseball batting stance to help keep control. Another thing is release points, where in terms of your body is the release point? Or is it different for everyone's swing? extremely new here sorry for the questions

@jordanpopi6850 9 лет назад

Still need help??

@davidmiles8384 9 лет назад

Not as much as I needed when I posted the original comment haha. I still have only been playing for like 3 months tops but I've made a bunch of progress. I've been working my ass off at it and it has definitely paid off. I've worked my way up to the x step and am now just continuing to practice release angles, release points, etc. Another main issue is some throws my body will lag behind on the forward motion. I won't get the full weight transfer from my back to front foot and what results are stupid weak hyzers that look awful lol. Don't get me wrong though my game is incredible for the time I've spent on this, I just hold myself to really high standards as an athlete. Plus I'm a scratch ball golfer as well and that probably has a huge part in it as well.

@Wildx0 12 лет назад

That very last thing at the end put all doubt away.

@587moseley 10 лет назад

@discraftdiscgolf 10 лет назад

@95rydinBLAZIN 11 лет назад

What disc are you using?

@Nozzall 10 лет назад

Hey! I have grey hair! Should I stay away from myself?

@jphallig 12 лет назад

@DVarelatenors didnt even know they made those

@verstehetmich 13 лет назад

@badgerallen it sounds like you are hyper-extending your elbow when you throw. Are you reaching foward when you are done throwing? now, Im not a professional by any means, but try to keep a slight bend in your elbow throughout the throw. you will probably need to re-learn how to throw for a couple holes, but it will save you the cost of surgery down the road. try to get that under control or else you can develop tennis elbow.
