Honest tip: showing a slow motion clip of him actually doing what he's been describing at the end of the video would make it more valuable by a factor of three or four

@TheTailors1 Год назад

see 1:05 🤔

@oliround Год назад

@@TheTailors1 Yes and notice. The English I used explains that it would be helpful to see it at the very end after all of the ideas have been compressed into a beautiful sandwich for your mind to eat at once.

The knock down the door with your elbow is the best description of where to place the arm I have heard. Makes total sense.

@Zwaser Год назад

A tip that worked for me, to get deep into that pocket is to try to pull the disc towards your elbow. That way you get real deep into it and gain some extra speed as well :)

0:30 - 1:30 has been some of most helpful driving advice I've had since I've started playing disc golf two years ago. This was a major part in my mechanics that I was still feeling unsure about but this video finally made it all click. This and Overthrow's twirly bird video have been the key to figuring out my drive. Can't wait to go test it out tomorrow! A genuine thank you to Thomas and Pulsea for this gem!

@schmuben8580 Год назад

The knock down a door with your elbow comment made this click in head. thank you Thomas!

@davelopez9161 Год назад

I used to, and still do sometimes, practice in front of a mirror. As in about a foot away from the mirror. Also, I would work my way down a wall going through my form drills. thanks

@markoates9057 Год назад

I see Thomas Gilbert, I click like. I'm a simple man.

@OkieTradez 8 месяцев назад

this is the secret.. can you get the whip sound standing right in front of a wall! it forces you to coil much more and makes your timing synch up or no snap sound or hit hand on wall haha .. literally the best drill of all-time!

@4dwyn Год назад

Nice work Thomas!

@cavekas Год назад

Hehe..Thomas was actually trying to knock down a Tallinn OldTown wall (in Estonia!) with the powerpocket 😂😂 And the AlfaRomeo guy was quite suprised I think :) Very good tutorial and explanation btw! 💪💪👍

@charleschitwood6078 Год назад

Will try that!

@pulsea_dga Год назад

Please do!

@free67 Год назад

The guy in the Alfa wondering wtf is this guy on trying to backhand a stone wall, lol. Great tips though. I will be trying out that drill. Thanks for accurately explaining this. When I first started playing I had people explaining to me to elbow the door down and I was all arm, rounding every shot. Took a while before I found out I shouldn't actually be pulling with my arm so much as rotating and just guiding the elbow.

@adamp462 Месяц назад

You can watch a million videos about power pocket etc but the only honest way to improve is by non stop practice. Trial and error trial and error. One outta a million people will learn it in a book or video. You’ll never get it until you can feel it.

@adamp462 Месяц назад

Has absolutely nothing to do with power, it’s all feel and fineness if you want your disc to catch flight and not start fading after 200’

@adamp462 Месяц назад

Just stop trying to throw a disc with power like it’s a rock and let the disc do the work and you’ll add 50’ to your drives. You’ll throw your arm out not the disc out

You can go to the other side of the planet and Thomas Gilbert will still somehow show up in your disc golf video XD

@pulsea_dga Год назад

Yea you are right!

@mawage666 Год назад

Throwing farther is definitely cool and can be very beneficial. But it doesn't guarantee you will get a better score on any given course. If there's a 500' par 3 and I can throw 350' and my buddy throws 400' I'm still just as likely to park my next shot from 150' out as he is from 100' out. If we both throw 475' that doesn't mean we're 25' from the basket inside the circle, you could still be 75' from the basket to one side or the other and most likely still end up with a par. Of course anyone is capable of making a 75' shot for the birdie but that is most likely just a lucky throw in. Throwing 500' and also being able to land it inside a 33' radius is something truly amazing.

@OkieTradez 8 месяцев назад

top 20 pros can all throw 450ft-500ft on a golf line in the wind.. top 20 pros are the only ones making enough cash from tournys alone to make it worth it

instructions unclear now now i wear an arm sling

@Thebrianweissman Год назад

Some of the worst, most damaging advice I’ve ever seen in a video. The “power pocket” is what creates biomechanical leverage, and it organically occurs when the disc is accelerated properly using the activation of the left hip, followed by the engagement of the right hip and right leg. If you’re making it appear any way but that, it will not help you throw farther or faster. You can form this 90 degree position using your dominant arm and corresponding brain hemisphere until the end of time, and you’ll be no closer to “pro form” than when you started.

@tubedude709 Год назад

He went from pro to amateur on this clip lol

@rfinnegan7106 Год назад

Origanically, eh? I have seen beautiful foot work, great transfer through the hips, and garbage rounding on release. That results in poor outcomes. Thomas is giving great advice for folks with good foot/hip work already in their game. As always, take what you need, throw out the rest.

@OkieTradez 8 месяцев назад

literally worst comment of all-time.. lets see you get the whip sound right up against the wall.. yes the power pocket is a deceiving explanation but they all are.. mental ques hit ppl differently but the drill standing in front of the wall is 100% the secret to back hand form.. if youre confused hes using his lower body to coil his arm back until its all the way reached back on a straight line then uncoils his body "never actively moved arm yet" once his arm gets close to power pockets he "makes sure elbow is firmly guiding his pull through on straight line" but snaps his wrist through power pocket and booom you get 400+ effortless distance bcuz 99% of the move was mid/lower body coiling/uncoiling!

Yeah but wasn’t he top five or ten at the distance comp? Whatever it was, it was surprisingly high on the leaderboard. He’s got some power - that’s what he’s teaching lol he probably throws farther than you, so you can most likely benefit. Quit being a hater and do better!
