Philo Brathwaite Slow Motion BH + Putt 

If this helps anyone, philo throws ~60-63mph on power drives in a round. Not Anthony barela speed but still impressive at his age. With good form like his one can definitely throw 400+ for a long time

Philo, man what a great teacher and such a important part of the game. I really do look at him as one of the best teacher in the game. He has such a great approach at showing you what needs to be done and how to get there. Love it.

Omaha was lucky enough to have Philo show up at our weekly doubles league last night. He showed up a bit early to play a few holes and I got to play the last five holes with him before league. He was more than happy to share feedback with us on what we could improve upon and compliment us when we had a good shot. He's the only touring pro I've met but he was so incredibly humble, relaxed and approachable that he's definitely one of my favorite professionals now. What a great human being he is.

Yes! Philo understands this game as much as anyone, I always love the detail he goes into that you so rarely hear discussed

When I started disc golf, I tried to emulate Philo's form, because he throws so flat, although not the farthest, but for us mortals that 150 meters is off limits, so control was the key. Thank you for this!

Always loved Philos intellectual take on the game he is a smart disc golfer and that’s what has made him so great. He’s very thoughtful and you can tell he has found his game through experimentation and feel. Before this game somehow morphed into throwing 600’ in wide open ball golf courses players like this dominated and still do when things get technical

No no too short!! Philo is the form guru. More! 🥰

I’m so happy for you guys getting these opportunities to get inside the mind of these pros. I love how passionate Philo is about the game and how he likes to teach. The one detail that I took from this that I just discovered recently was not putting the disc tight against my hand. By leaving a little space and just using my fingertips, I was able to generate so much more spin. Thank you very much for asking how these pros grip the disc for different shots, I feel like it’s helped me out a lot. I’m also loving the slow mo putting footage! Great stuff once again, raising the bar for disc golf instruction!

Whenever I need a refresher, this is my video. Back to basics. I spent an afternoon throwing mindlessly max speed, littering the course and doing video of my throws at 4k 60fps. I was horrified when I watched it back. So, back to the soothing tones of Philo to make it all ok again. Tomorrow is another day.

I love Philo’s approach to the game, man. K.I.S.S. all day. Efficient. Dudes been mostly injury free his whole career and will be able to play for a long time. Who wouldn’t want that?

Butter I say smooth as ever thanks Philo and thanks overthrow disc golf

I see Philo I immediately like watch and like.

Poetry in motion. Love the background music. Well done!

It is truly a blessing your able to capture such a legend in the sport and document that visual knowledge to share with everyone! I’ve been getting nostalgic at the old philo group tutorial videos so seeing him steady do his thing slinging the roc and being philo still to this day is truly iconic! You truly did the disc community justice to capture a legend on film! Thanks man keep up the phenomenal work!

That's so cool seeing it in slow motion. I can see so many flaws that I need to correct. Right now, I am just trying to standstill and get my timing down. It's so clear from the video why he gets so much distance. I just recently realized that I was shifting my weight too soon, killing so much power. I still don't pull the disc in enough. I am starting to realize that it's really more about rotating your body than actually throwing in the disc. I definitely am very flat footed too.

That grip makes so much sense. I think Michael Johansen talks about doing the same kind of grip. Thumb pad off disc, further out in fingers, more spin.

Man, I've always loved Philo.. what a talent and such a great dude and teacher

Philo has such smooth, fluid form. Please try to film a complete form video for Calvin Heimburg. His form looks quite different from Simon and Drew's, and his line drive ability is second to none. Would love to learn his secret.

I love Philo. He's such a great, chill dude.

So grateful for this video. It helped me so much with my timing. I’m still not where I want to be, but my timing is so much better now. Thanks 🙏🏻

That was pleasant song on background! Also big love for Philo one of greatest and always fun to see him around 👏

And that's why I love Philo! He taught me how to throw flat and straight, it's still my best shot. Thanks!

this was the best surprise, thanks OT and Philo!

Yessss. Philo is the man.

I have really enjoyed everything I've ever seen Philo in. I always learn something, even if it's a new perspective on what I was trying to do before. Great stuff.

Been waiting for this one! Love how Philo teaches and how simple his form is.

lovely. And great music.

Hands down one of my favorite Pros not only to watch but also in the commentating booth ....this man is a legend!

All future demos should start off with "Hi my name is **** and I'm going to go OVER how I THROW" ~sick Mikey transistion~ "GRIP"

That grip tip is interesting. I need to try that out.

I could listen to Philo speak for hours

Great resource to learn how to throw. Great slomo.

Creates more drag, well said Philo

Philo is the man! Glad yall got em on! Stupid smooooth

I really wish we had all the angle of Philo's form filmed that you had for Simon and Drew (overhead and from behind) in addition to what is displayed here. I am sure there are little nuances worth studying form those perspective that we are missing out on here. Regardless, an amazing video that I really appreciate. 4.5/5 stars on this one. I initially modeled my game and bag after Philo because of how he likes to keep things simple.

I saw this video at 4:20. 😎 Very cool

Philo teaches the game, not a gimmick or something he can sell.

Disc golf bucket list is a day of disc golf with Philo. Instruction followed by a round. Oh by the way, there should be no major that he’s not in the booth………PERIOD

Sooo fluid!

So buttery. So good.

Some pros seem to have a deep flight plate thumb grip (thumb is closer to center of disc than "normal". Normal = along edge of inside rim where rim meets flight plate.) More of their palm/base of their thumb is on the top of the disc. Personally I use a three finger for a more nose down throw, which takes more palm off of the disc, but It has been hurting my middle finger quite a bit. If I'm going to switch back to 4 finger, I want to hear the comment sections tips and preferences. I also think its interesting that Andrew Marweede can throw a 500ft+ forhand with a one finger grip, while sexton has a finger tip claw like grip, and eagle has a stacked 2 finger (my preference). I know everyone is different. I want to hear everyone's thoughts on grip, backhand and forhand. What works for you? Maybe it could help someone else in the comments, I know it always helps me.

That's an interesting take on grip.

one of my favorite players

This dude is smoooooth

ive got a question, what parts of your arm stays loose and for how long( wrist, elbow, shoulderjoint). is your entire arm loose untill the powerpocket and then you explode and try to use every muscle you got to power the disc? its really hard to see in videos what they do when it comes to looseness, whats forced and whats natural/automatic

THIS IS NOT A CRITICISM, I love Philo, it's an honest question: Can you guys explain the fact that Philo's driving form doesn't have a point in the reachback where the disc stays in place and he rotates around it, as is commonly taught? Eg. 7:48. I always wondered how important that really is.

This was dope.

I'm noticing a squatch-y trend here. Any chance we'll get to see Bradley Williams's form in the near future?

Question. So his driver grip... his index finger isnt curled around the rim. How is he getting spin on the disc? There seems to be no pinch point, pivot point. In your Overthrow grip video you say that the "pinch" point is the most important part.

My first Destroyer was a Philo Destroyer.

I notice that the disc is moving essentially on the same lateral movement and timing as his left leg

I just want to hang out with philo.

"all right Philo!"

going through the entire Squatch crew? Please tell me Ezra and Bradley Williams are on deck......

Philos putt is very similar to what mine is

Where's the Bong Hit? I was promised a slow motion bong hit

So nice seeing you guys spend your money on quality content instead of jelly donuts and diet Coke

For his power grip, it seems like Philo's index finger isn't curled under the driver rim; it doesn't touch the flight plate like the other fingers. Is that right?

Good new series. Video sponsored by Squatch?

Let’s get some Barela! Be sick to see him smash!

😮
