13:30 - Slow-mo montage 3:27 - Form comparison 14:14 - How to do the Simon disc-flip

Simon makes me so happy.

That shot of the day was sick

Really enjoyed this one, It’s kinda like a variety show, there’s a bit of everything in it.

Best shot of the day ever!!!🥰

Best vid yet fellas! We learned something practical AND something fun. We got to enjoy the sheer beauty of forest and flight, and see those happy faces scoring aces :) - thank you very much

The shot of the day, always makes me smile. Thank you for always putting out great content!!!!!

You continue to teach me something new every video! Thanks for taking the time to help everyone be their best!

Simon is brilliant! The Midas of disc golf vlogging! I will stay tuned for the rest of this series as you make Casey throw 600’ too! Thank you for being awesome!

Thanks for the constant content simon, much love from michigan 💚

Thanks for the spin tutorial.... so cool! “I wanna be like Simon!” 😎😎😎. I’ll have to take your word for how good it feels retrieving an ace disc from the basket... 😳

Casey is learning how to be a great personality in disc golf from one of the top players and entertainers.

I love the shoot of the day on this one! A father and son best moment! Blesses my heart. I have 4 sons, 3 old enough to play DG with.

Simon, you are crushing the vlog game. Enjoy all the videos.

Thanks Simon. Form comparison is a great tool for becoming a better disc golfer.

You don’t know how deep I’ve searched trying to figure out how you do the disc flip I practiced it for a bit and kinda was doing it how you do it but this video makes me so happy awesome form comparison and finally I learn from the man himself how to do the disc flip awesome stuff!

This is a really good breakdown. Just watching and taking screenshots of the pauses has helped me. I noticed neither one of you fully extended your arm, which is something I do and I actually feel it hurts my distance. Now I need yo go throw a bunch of discs to re-invent my throw Thanks guys

SIMON, casey is like your partner now in these vids and contributed well to the content and view, you should throw his social medias in the description and a pop tag

Fun video and that shot of the day was the best so far. Take it easy with your elbow:) Gotta be ready to get back on the road soon

Love this comparisons, my favourite content from you :D This is so helpful for me as a noob too. I can not throw far yet but I'm practising, and I feel progress from when I started to throw like 130-160 feet, to now throwing 200feet+ consistently. :D and on good shots I throw up top 260-270 feet :D Awesome content Simon, thank you !

I love that you do the shot of the day - this one is so cool! Great content overall.

I love the shot of the day portion of your videos! Awesome vlog overall as always!

Your uploads are great...all of them. Keep posting stuff. You are great at explaining things in an understandable way.

Really enjoying your chill vlogs and awesome tips. Going out to the course right now to play/practice!

I loved the form breakdown!! Would love to see more of that! Another awesome video!

Your content is top notch. All of your videos are so memorable, but this video was my favorite. Well done, young man.

Keep these coming! Thanks for spreading the stoke of DiscGolf! 🤟

One major difference that I notice which results in the minor rounding on Casey's reach back and pull through and the difference in look of shoulder position when comparing frame by frame is Casey's shoulders are rolled forward/collapsed chest while you have more squared shoulders/expanded chest. Removing that rounding of the shoulders/collapsing of the chest could help with having a more away from body/linear reach back position and straight forward pull through

Your shot of the day makes me smile every time

Simon I love watching you play dude. It just looks effortless. Great videos as always brother

Thank you for being you. Always a treat when there's a new vlog. Great tips and always entertaining. Prost mein freund. 😁🤙

one of the best vlogs yet hands down!

HAND FLIP TUTORIAL!! You’re awesome dude. BIG THANKS 😁❤️

That breakdown was amazing. You would be an excellent coach Simon! Thanks for the content brother, stay safe.

Love all of this! How fun 🥏⛓💥 Shot of the day was 🔥💗

I love all the shot of the days but this one touched my heart....awesomeness...nice aces also...I wanna play a round with this Old Greg

Simon, this is a great video! Very well done and lots of fun! Well played sir and thanks for the content!

I think this is your best video yet. Keep up the great work!!

Excellent form analysis. Keep 'em coming.

So apparently you can explain it better. Nice work! Yeah, I see 5 main things. The 4 you pointed out, disc movement before reach back, reach back position, right foot "snap", and shoulder turn timing...and one you didn't, left foot release. The shoulder turn timing, and foot release will be what I work on a bit. Waiting for the shoulders to engage makes total sense, the longer you can delay that puts more energy into the release of the disc. I know I drag my left foot a bit, but I think if my right foot flips quicker I'll be able not do that as much. Awesome job guys. And for real, he's only 19!?! I expect to see him on tour in a year or two if that's what the young man wants to do.

Impressive form, good job Simon

Thanks for the disc flip tutorial. And everything else!

You guys are awesome...thanks for all the cool shots and information.

So glad I got notifications on for when you post.

Man as soon as the tournaments start back up Casey needs to tag along with you! Hes a legit player!

The form comparison was so helpful ! Thank you

Super helpful. Thanks Simon

Treebeard Slow mo transition was on point!

Great content, very helpful Simon!

Liked for shot of the day, keep it going!

Shot of the Day was too cool.Whole video is really good. The form comparison is great information. Well done.

Hi Simon, Awesome video. I think the reason Casey 's disc ends up behind his body on the reach back is because he reaches straight back like (like I was taught). When he makes his power move he steps across the line which puts the disc inside the line but because he's 19, flexible, and athletic he can bend his body to let the disc pass below his torso. But this puts some of his body mass outside the line which is why he ends up with weight over his toes when he spins out on the follow through. You do the opposite. You reach out to the line you are throwing on, step up to it on your power move and effectively pull the disc in towards your center of mass. This keeps your weight inside and encourages you to rotate over your heel. Do it it slowmo and it will make sense. This should give me something to do for the rest of the summer. The reason the views appear different is that the the camera is aimed at the center of the fairway (the line you are throwing on) not the tee pad. Your eyes want to line up the edge of the tee pad with the light dot in the gap of the trees. The center of the frame is actually behind the thrower.

Learned the disc spin from your Instagram and have been using it ever since! Great Vid!

Thank you for sharing your tips on improving form!!

Next level content and next level shot of the day!

Hell yeah! Truly best shot of the day!!

Schönes Video. Danke für die erklärung des "Tricks". Bleibt Gesund und hoffentlich geht es bald wieder los mit Turnieren.

Thanks for all the work u do

Thank you so much for this video! It really helped point out some of the same things I do wrong with my own shot!

Love the video! As for why you throw further it looks to be two main things... 1) Weight distribution- Simon keeps his weight back a split second further but it makes all the difference in any swing. If you pause at 7:55 you can see Casey’s weight is further out front in the same part of his back swing than Simon’s. 2) 12:20ish mark Simon hits the nail on the head. Casey reaches around his body which means his arm has further to travel and in a rounded motion. Simon is straight back therefore nearly no amount of movement is wasted and all of the body’s kinetic energy is going straight toward the target.

That shot of the day was fantastic!!

great points, so helpful!!

Awesome shot of the day!!!

I think we are all lucky that you are such a bad ass at disc golf and great at this whole RU-vid thing!!!

Simon, at around 8:20 ish, when breaking down you and Casey, LOOK AT THE SHADOWS! It's a dead tell on what your describing about reaching to far behind. Another great vid brotha!!

Right after that comparison. I couldn't get my eyes off Casey's hand when he throws. I used to have the same. Now I am focusing more on how I pull my hand. Still, my shots are too high though. Thank you Simon for all these lessons. All of the tips helped me as a beginner so much.

Thanks so much Simon! I can certainly use an extra 100 feet on my shots! 😎

What a video. Thanks for the disc flip explanation!!! Finally...lol

Really really good analysis.

I remember that insta video!!! Love that spin!

Best dg videos comes from you! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Awesome breakdown. I’ve played for years but basically as an exclusively forehand player. I’m just now trying to learn backhand and finding it way less intuitive. I can drive 350-400 forehand but only about 200 backhand because I have 0 technique. So videos like this are absolutely awesome.

Great observation and description

Simon thanks again for good tips 👍😉

Dear Simon, Thanks for another supercalifragilisticexpialidocious video! 🔴⚪️🥏😷🙏🏻

Thanks for the spin lesson, I'm going to master it sitting home too much.

I just bought a brand new putter D-line P2 I'm loving that putter cant wait to get the skygod 3

Hey Simon. I was just re-watching this video. When you were critiquing your throws, I noticed your shadows on the t-pad, showed the difference in your reach backs.

Hey Simon, I'm wondering if you can do a video giving tips on throwing uphill. I live in Colorado and would love to see a breakdown of your approach to this with some video examples

Simon, it would be great to see/hear your form analysis from an overhead shot. Don't recall seeing that anywhere before, but I think it would provide a lot of insight into the physics of the throw. Also, slo-mo video option might provide more detail.

Check out the shadow on the tee pad during the form comparison. The sun is perfect to see the difference in the disc movement!

Great video, best part was without a doubt the shot of the day, Simon's got a little one on the way and will one day replicate that shot I'm sure!👍

When you were talking about the reach backward you can also look at the shadows on the ground and see the difference in distance from the disc to the body 👍🏽

Great stuff. Thanks.

One of the best feelings in disc golf is grabbing your ace disc from basket. Another one is hitting the eagle throw after messing up the drive. Couple days ago I did it with my putter from about 50 meters, high hyzer throw going far right along a thin gap in the woods and then coming back left, straight in the basket.

He’s only 19?!?

love the slowmo disc flip hahaha

Def worth a double watch!!

Fun video, thanks Simon. Take care of that elbow!

the homemade baskets were awesome and didn't look hard to do at all... might try making a couple of those myself

Nice shot of the day 👌

Great video Simon : )

Thanks for the form comparison. I’d like to see one where you’re both throwing distance shots to see if the difference is still the same or different.

i know that nowadays most of us expect a basic english knowledge, so for those who understand this video is gold (thanks simon for time spend). I know a lot of persons who play discgolf and would gain so much from this video if they could understand. Was ich somit sagen will ist: Simon bitte übersetze dieses video auf deutsch und auf sonstige Sprachen die du sprechen kannst. Das wäre eine große Hilfe für die Community und diejenigen die nicht so gut englisch sprechen. Vielen Dank und grüße aus Wien.

The illusion is an example of the leaning tower optical illusion. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leaning_tower_illusion

Wow that breakdown was really helpful b/c I too tend to have a lot of movement of my reach back and lean a bit more over on my releases similar to Casey, but I’m gonna try to keep the disc steady on my reach back and keep my back straighter. Thanks Simon! Btw Shot of the day was epic!

Simon, can you do a quick vid on the importance of spin on the disc and how to maximize it?

Great video!!! Rounding and throwing 450??? Amazing

Love that Casey is getting out of his shell and more prominent in the videos!
