I know the struggle to gain distance is something most every disc golfer goes through in their lifetime. No matter if it's the 250 foot plateau or the 500 foot plateau, we all seem to find things where we just want a little more distance. In today's video I want to share a few distance revelations I've found when working with my coach, Mike Strauss, as he came down here for a few days and we had the chance to work in person. I'm finding with these slight adjustments I've got the exact same distance as before with 50% less effort. This brings me a ton of hope for seeing that future distance potential!! What are the tips? You'll have to watch to find out!

@nickwood9053 Год назад

We need a Robbie C , Bodanza video!

@redmortensen4066 Год назад

So I agree there needs to be a colab. But being as I'm a big fan of both of you. I must say that this is something I'm going to start doing literally tomorrow.

@Krispykramer710 Год назад

Bodanza birdie talks..

@SixSided Год назад

Pretty neat. I had a different problem I needed to solve in my distance journey, but my first time over 400 ft was, like you said, a smooth and controlled, 50 - 60% shot that accelerated after the hit. The hard part is converting knowledge into muscle memory.

@Allbirdbag Год назад

Robbie this has got to be one of your best video! It is such a blessing that you are passing down what you are learning from your personal coach to all of us. The shoulder spacing is very Nicklas Antilla style, which he bombs with accuracy, and does feel uncomfortable at first but I would bet most players are not getting that space. I will say the only thing that is missing, and this is just me wanting to really understand form as best I can, is how do you accelerate "after the hit". I've heard before that you want to actively open your forearm and throw literally away from you towards that 10 o'clock hit box. Would you say that is true for like a mental queue on accelerating at the last second.

@devindmcclellan Год назад

So dumb and simple. This just changes everything. I’ve watched so many videos about walking through the disc and not reaching. This was the most simple way thanks Robbie

@sethtayloroneal Год назад

Got to love the George Ward fire station, but jokes aside, love the video and the content! I find that no matter where I am on my distance journey, I always need reminders like these.

@discsmd Год назад

I love that your videos are so practical and structured. I can take what you talk about and implement it into what I am doing to see if it works for me or not. Still my favorite.

@henriklasu Год назад

As a 50 years old newbie i hava had so much use of your videos and pod. Thanks and keep up the good work

@FuckGoogle2 Год назад

Warm up them knees is my advice to you, often overlooked.

@aaronmatkin9354 3 месяца назад

Thank you for the valuable content. My game gets better every video of yours I watch

@danielwolzygolf813 Год назад

Trusting the process is literally one of the hardest things to conceptualize. Meaning, we want to see the progress or imagine it. We love the sport so much. But the truth is we need to let these changes show us the improvements. Results are not faithless. Love the content.

@aaronrobertson5141 Год назад

Thank you for emphasizing the left arm driving down (RHBH). It's not talked about enough and it was my "ah-ha" moment for adding 100 feet to my throws. When I first started, there was so much emphasis on the right elbow driving forward. This led me to just muscle my throws vs. sling shotting my right arm forward to catch up with the tension my left arm created from driving downward

@michaelcushman Год назад

Excellent. Your two main points are THE two main points. 1. The elbow is raised high enough. 2. The acceleration emphasis is when the hand is just about to move in front of the elbow. When tweeking form, these two behaviors never change. I'm not found of the terminology you are using to describe #1. True, the shoulder muscle is doing the work of raising the elbow...however, so many players pull the disc. Pulling raises the shoulder up, like a shrug, and that is a terrible shoulder movement. Imo, the better way to teach this is, "Raise the elbow, keep the forearm parallel to the ground, and pull the shoulders down." Whatever imagery and terms work for you is of course the best.

@NickCarroll Год назад

"Raise the elbow, keep the forearm parallel to the ground, and pull the shoulders down." Interesting. I'll have to try this out. I have an issue with a) elbow drop and b) raised shoulder during my swing, and it's become muscle memory for me. So thank you for that.

@steveackerman5066 Год назад

Thank you very much. I can’t wait to slow down in my field work, great tips!

@ScottDrew-xp3zw 2 месяца назад

Incredible tips, Robbie. Some of the most helpful I've ever heard, thank you!

@robertgordon8912 Год назад

Love the different flippy disc golf merch that is shown throughout the video

@lukeoglesby3086 Год назад

still loving the videos man..had a great time chit chatting at the shop a couple weeks ago on my trek across the south, loved Inverness, thanks for all your doing for the community

@bensieber6960 Год назад

I think it was Simon who said, “slow is smooth and smooth is far”, or something along those lines. This is now my mantra for drives and it has made a huge difference. As soon as I try to really crank on one I shank it or drive it into the ground. The other huge help for distance has been to lift my back foot. I used to think I had to drive off my back leg, but all that does is slow down rotation and add stress to that knee (sore knee after a round = no bueno)! Lifting my trailing foot gives me waaaay better rotation and snap. Those two elements have added an easy 75-100 feet to my drives.

@willchristensen4248 4 месяца назад

I've been playing about a month and have been stationary throwing in hopes of developing some control. This video actually inspired me to try the walk up

@coryhaggard5704 Год назад

Great stuff! For whatever reason, when you demonstrate the shoulder fold, especially while moving the lower body (walk up), it looks like the exact movement Calvin makes. Great quote: “50% Power at the right time is always going to be better than 100% Power whenever it might happen to hit”! I believe the thought of 50% is really going to help… Not 80%… Not 70%… Not even 60%… 50% Power is it!

@davidkelly4269 Год назад

one of the best instructional vids ive ever seen and ive seen a ton. shot out robbie

@georgep5212 Год назад

What an awesome video! This is one video that i can say made a huge difference for me. I focused on where my elbow was while applying 50% power and was absolutey blown away by the distance of that first throw. This is now incorperated in my practice. Thanks again and keep up the great videos.

@joachimskeppstedt1472 4 месяца назад

I just looked at your clip, and for the first time I understod the timing. I just had to go out and try, even if its Belle Zero here in Sweden and snowing/raining. It worked🎉🎉 Now back in my car, cold and wet…but worth it👊

@jaynorris3631 Год назад

6 minutes in. Taking time to thank you for never asking to like and subscribe. I noticed a long time ago. That shit gets redundant. We all know. So again thanks 🙏🏼

@matthewhershberger3198 Год назад

Thanks Robbie for this extremely relevant video! I had the great fortune and pleasure of meeting you on the course as you were filming this video which was really cool for me!! This video alone has done more for my game than any other video. After a few minutes of implementing these tips, I was getting better distance than before with 50% power! Meeting you in person is something I'll remember for a long time!

@calpauly21 Год назад

Dude, you fixed me! My snap is back and the disc is much more often on the intended line. So much better with so much less effort. Thanks!

@icantwaitnc 6 месяцев назад

Hey thanks for all the awesome videos. I learn so much from watching you because you are an excellent teacher!

@garyjohnson65 Год назад

Just a super helpful video. You are really putting out some outstanding videos Robbie. I look at disk golf in a whole new light. After a few years of not improving at all and getting somewhat bored with playing, I now am super excited every time I get to the course. Thanks again Robbie.

@michaelferraro220 Год назад

Duuuuuude, started doing the same thing with my shoulder about a month ago and it's made such a huge difference.

@Sandsawks Год назад

I started doing this myself a couple weeks ago. Easier distance is a perfect description. I slowed my run-up down drastically and hold that elbow up and out and getting 400ish distance much easier and with better accuracy. All that with a Axiom Crave as my max speed driver as I'm working with improving mechanics

@keepsafebandpa Год назад

My favorite thing about your videos is why they are easy to understand, and in my opinion that reason is because your videos are set up like you are just hanging out chatting with your buddy on the course. That makes it easy to follow too! Also not having just an explanation but on course examples, again makes your videos very easy to follow. Thanks for all you do in the scene! 🤙🏼

@Morphowl Год назад

Just went out and did a field session focusing on these two (three?) things. Biggest change I immediately noticed was even though I was doing 50% power, I was getting much better snap than I was previously. I think the shoulder helped with keeping the disc on a straight line, and the acceleration after the hit really allowed the disc to rip out of my hands. I was practicing with mids, and they were immediately going as far as my previous full power mids, and had two or three that were my new farthest throws with a mid. Great video!

@dameonpeters6578 Год назад

Thanks Robbie! It's nice to get an instructional video that slows things down to a point of understanding and teaches me to slow down to implement the instructions.

@richardgeer4323 10 месяцев назад

Very good information and demonstrations for us! Thank you so much as I am just getting into it and loving little clues related to form and effort!

@SqueakA1C1788 Год назад

You’re a good man, Robbie… and an excellent teacher. Love your corroboration with Foundation Disc Golf and other content-creators. Love your personality too. And “quack” sound effects after missed puts.

@johanl1ndahl Год назад

This is a great video, I learned alot from this and gonna take all this into consideration when I go out tomorrow. Thank you so much.

@jimmyblundell7600 Год назад

Love to hear that “wait for acceleration” bit. Jaani (DG Spin Doctor) had a great video about the same exact concept.

@waydecheatley4129 Год назад

Another excellent video Robbie! I knew adding tension in my shoulder helped me throw far but I had know idea it was good form. Cheers Robbie, this one’s getting locked in. You’re a game changer good sir 👍🤙

@Joshg8182 Год назад

This video made me subscribe to your channel! Turning the disc like a wheel to get your arm away from your body and then waiting till after the “hit” to put in the power helped me immediately! The way I think about the second part is once my elbow has gone past my body in the power pocket is when I explode with the extra power.

@Davbaldwin1 Год назад

Great lesson. You are an awesome instructor.

@jcgarcia1931 10 месяцев назад

Robbie you're kicking @ss. Keep it up and thanks for being real. I'm playing better thanks to you and my downtime is actually productive. Win win.

@Joeaxtell Год назад

Good stuff and that first cue is one I stumbled into a couple months ago that got me over 350 consistently! You worded and demonstrated it so well I’m definitely going to show other people when they’re asking for advice!

@jeffeliasen-hu3gs Год назад

Great video, your form has improved for sure. Got to try these tips out

@DavidCornelius Год назад

Thanks, Robbie! This video really helped me reset. After finding some timing queues that clicked for me, I was hitting mid-300s super smooth and feeling on top of the world. I then did what most people do... since I had it figured out, it was go time for power! I proceeded to "throw hard", on a windy day no less, which led to less distance, frustration, and all my old bad habits. Your video arrived to shake sense back in me, and my next round was one of my best - definitely my best for woods golf.

@macthemurse Год назад

Totally awesome. Im a skeptic... I believe you... I am a skeptic that I will be able to implement... i try and muscle everything... but I am excited to try it out.

@stuartschwenke6656 Год назад

Love the shoulder set-up. I have been incorporating this over the summer. Definitely give spaces for the different angles required for the different shots, as you illustrated.

@learnwithmediscgolf Год назад

Very interesting. I’m definitely going to go try this later.

@Jahnod34d Год назад

Cant wait to practice these techniques!!

@lesfritzemeier8900 Год назад

This! Accidentally discovered the benefit of 50% in the field. Accelerating THROUGH the hit is a big deal! Thanks for the great explanations Robbie C.

@Lankybrit52 Год назад

What a great video. Things for my field work tomorrow.

@smhart23 Год назад

Awesome advise and tips! 50% until it becomes automatic…great way to think about it. Thanks for sharing!

@youdmv Год назад

This is good stuff! Thank you from sweden 😊👍

@stevenkitchensphotography9319 Год назад

Man, this helped so much. I can still throw my same distance but my accuracy has got immediately better from this. Thank you! You never keep learning

@robertjones1730 Год назад

The nitro boost comment spoke to me...I feel like you are going to have one burst of pull to do on your arm, most people do that burst at the back of the stroke leaving no power to add in the last part of the pull. If you let your "body burst" build the first part of the speed and then do your "arm burst" from the halfway point forward then you arm burst ADDS to the body burst instead of runs WITH it. In so many sports smooth acceleration is key, billards, cycling, sprinting and of course disc golf

@WoodGuyDG Год назад

These tips really hit the mark for me. I never really knew what to do with my shoulder/elbow position. This will give me something to focus on. And the "50%/Accelerate through" tip ties back to the "Overthrow Windwaker Drill" video where he talks about the 10 o'clock release point accelerating to the 10 o'clock release point.

@Random7s Год назад

I’m not sure if I’m doing it correctly but just moving my elbow up bringing the power down a little gave me a lot more distance. Thank you!

I can't wait to implement these techniques. I have been suck at 300 ft for a while. I feel this video will help.

@rageoid Год назад

You did not say "smash" the button in any manner, so I'll stay subbed. 50K - impressive, and even more so when considering it's disc golf content.

@BillFromAZ Год назад

(I think my comment went into a black hole, so here it is again). I like that you discuss the importance of an in-person coach/lesson. I recently had a lesson to figure out why I couldn't hit my intended lines. I "knew" what I was doing right, I wanted to know what I was doing wrong. I knew my walk-up was good....oops, no it wasn't. That was the first thing we worked on. My instructor immedately noticed that a 6'1" and having a long stride, I frequently ran out of tee pad and aborted my walk-up, got off balance, and didn't follow through....all because I didn't leave myself enough room. She had me start off the tee pad and we saw an immediate improvement. But by myself, I would never have guessed that was a major part of my issue. Another issue was that I "knew" I was releasing on hyzer.....well, no I wasn't. Towards the end of my walk-up, I straightened up and released on anhyzer - throwing across my shoulders instead of hip to shoulder. Without an in-person coach/instructor, I would never have figured those things out. Watching videos and practicing can only take a person so far.
