I like how you are taking practical steps towards improving your max distance. A note on the run up example in the video. You essentially came to a complete stop before your x step. I am no professional but I have been playing disc golf since the late 90s and PDGA tourneys since 2007. I agree that a run up is important but not as important as keeping momentum throughout the entire motion. If you only take a couple extra steps before starting your wind up you may see better results. I'm 5ft 8in and 47 years old still throw 400 or just under fairly accurately. I think its most important to find a disc that you can throw with max flight and glide for whatever arm speed you happen to have. For instance as I get older and am playing / practicing less than I was in my 20's and 30's, I AM NO LONGER TRYING TO BOMB OVERSTABLE MAX SPEED PLASTIC. Controlling less stable lower speed discs correctly will yield much better results with less effort. I throw a roadrunner much further than the champ destroyer i keep in my bag for utility hyzers.
@MattRobertsonDG
@MattRobertsonDG 15 дней назад
@@chadharrod5246 very good advice here! I think this is exactly why my more aggressive run ups are sometimes slower but sometimes faster! But I do seem to be able to produce higher top speeds with it, I will try to focus on continuing to accelerate into the throw. I tend to do a lot better with more overstable stuff but I like the idea of trying some flippier stuff and seeing how it works out for me! Thanks for the kind words and the tips!

Keep at it man. I just cleared 500' it's been a journey. My best tip for you is don't load your muscles as much. Disc isn't heavy, you don't have to try so "hard" as you do "fast" Think of footwork and speed like a figure skater, or a dancer.

@MattRobertsonDG 15 дней назад
@@msully1990 500 is awesome, congrats!! Interesting, I've definitely always been more of a muscle it person even in my golf days (when most say not to). Its just what worked best for me cause I'm small but strong. I did however start feeling like my arm was a lot looser recently and that helped a lot! Also when I throw on course shots I don't try to muscle it quite so hard to be fair. I will have a play around with this and see what/if it helps!

I love your message at the beginning that it is possible if you believe. I am a new disc golfer and struggle to hit 200' consistently. I know it's form, timing, and practice that will get me there. I am going to try some of your training tips and drills during some practice days.
@StuG-pr9tf
@StuG-pr9tf 15 дней назад
Have you had anyone video tape you throwing out on the practice field? It's important if you have not. I am almost 62 years old and started playing 2 years ago. I could only throw about 150-175 when I started that first season. I can throw 240 consistently now. going to the practice field and working on achieving "Pro" form is the way to go.
@MattRobertsonDG
@MattRobertsonDG 15 дней назад
@@jbakeindy this is great! And thank you. Yes I agree, it's so hard to believe it's possible at first, the difference between a beginner and someone who's starting to figure it out is just so huge!! If you're struggling to hit 200 I'd say it's probably more than likely a launch angle it nose angle problem. Once you've figured that out, I'd just work on speed, accuracy can come later in my opinion. And yes definitely get a video from face on and down the throwing line. I use a selfie stick and stick it in my bag between my discs to video myself

Great stuff. I'm going to check out some of these drills you mentioned. I used to deadlift quite a bit when I was in my 20's and 30's, I feel like I should mention that if you start moving heavy weight during deadlifts the wear and tear on your lower spine can be pretty bad. There are good alternatives to deadlifting that will be less risky for your lower back and hip mobility down the road. Keep up the good work!

@MattRobertsonDG 13 дней назад
@@dominicelder9950 thanks for the support! I actually used to Deadlift a lot. My Personal Bests were over 200kg (440lb) and i only weighed about 60kg at the time. Im not lifting anywhere near that at the moment but I will always be careful to do what I can to avoid injury, but I always found for me, injury comes when my body is out of shape so I prefer to do them safely rather than hurt my back because im not as strong as I could be.

@@MattRobertsonDG Hip thrusts for glutes, romanian deadlifts for hamstring and back are good alternatives that will put less torque on your lower spine. Bulgarian split squats are also real good for giving you the torture feel of a great heavy deadlift too! I've read that sumo deadlifting is less hard on the lower spine than conventional, but I never lifted sumo so I can't say from experience.

@@dominicelder9950 that's great! Yeah there's definitely a difference between people who just say "oh no you shouldn't do that, you'll be crippled when you're older" whilst at the sometime not working out a day in their lives, and someone giving genuine advice! Those sound good ill look into it. Most of my deadlifts are with a trap bar anyway as that focuses more on your legs than your back anyway, it's easier to have good technique and harder to cheat with your back

@@acfrisbee hey Andrew. Awesome to have you here my man! I'm doing form work about twice a week for about an hour to an hour and a half. Velo (Velocity) days where I do my overload and underload training, and throw 20 max effort throws in a net 3 times a week (about 30minute sessions). Then I throw distance lines when the body feels good and the speeds are good, never more than once a week. On top of that I lift in the gym about twice a week. But I have a full time job so fitting it in is tough. I aim to do about 12 hours a week, normally spread over about 3 or 4 days depending on weather and timing! Love your videos. Can't wait for more!
