UNLOCK DISTANCE! Throwing Techniques that got me from 350-450ft 

I can throw 250-300 accurate with mids, FDs and even an Envy depending on the hole. Can rarely/circumstantially throw 350-400 and i still avoid throwing DDs, I feel like I can throw an FD just as far as a DD but with much more control. I really like your point about foot placement. I never connected the idea of how improper foot placement can lead to opening up your hips too soon. I am currently still on a bounce back from a back injury but I’m looking forward to trying these tips out even with my MDs and FDs. If I start throwing my Mids 300-330 consistently I’ll know that my foot placement was a little off and that my hips were likely too open. FYI been playing for about 2 years now but have had to take it easy the last 6-9 months. Great vid and thank you for asking to respond in the comments 🤙

250-325 in the woods. 3-350 in open space. Thanks for all you are doing for the community

Something that has really helped me engage my body is thinking about the opposite shoulder. I see a lot of people keep it almost still and crunch their chest as they reach back. Drop that opposite shoulder back and allow your shoulders to rotate or else you’re fighting your own body if that makes sense. Also I don’t play anymore but I used to watch your supercell videos too! Thx for the years of great content amigo

I would have to say my best throw ever was with a discmania enigma and threw it about 411 up here in CO. It was a nice smooth throw and pured the throw, didn't throw it with all my might and just smoothed it out there. I can usually get around 350-400ish with a DD trespass and I can throw it pretty accurately where I want it and not have it get squirrely on me.

I found this video very helpful. I'm currently throwing 300-330 consistently, but can't quite figure out how to get to the next level. I've been pivoting on my toe with my plant foot on release, and also not getting full extension on my reachback. Excited to try these tips and see where it gets me.

I struggle with all these things, including ADD. Sometimes, I rush rush rush and then remember to slow down and dial in but not until like #10 or #11. It's a great sport for active minds though. Thanks for your videos!

Good stuff. This covers so much of exactly what I'm working on. Trying to stop rotating on my toe cuz it's starting to threaten my knee. Already had that surgery once! Slowing down, extending more, staying loose, heel pivot. Everything I'm working on, spot on! I started last summer and I'm getting 290ft or so with some accuracy- flat ground with no wind. But that's with a pure hyzer. When I learn anhyzer flexes and hyzerflips better that'll send it much farther I know, but I wonder if it'll affect my accuracy. My most accurate long distance disc is the Axiom Tenacity.

I've been playing for just about a year and I throw 200 accurately, 300 normally, and 350 max.

Been playing casually for about 3 years, and more seriously in the past year, competing in MA3. I can throw around 275-300 reasonably accurately in the woods. In an open field I can usually get my drivers anywhere from 330-350, with the occasional longer throw.

For your reference...I've been playing for almost 14 years I've been rated am2 most of my career... My highest rating being 947.... I can consistently throw 300 to 360..feet... With 400 foot being my cut off point on flat ground... And I've only ever shot two rounds over 1,000 rated I'm also 34 years old 300lbs ....

I relate to this so much, knowing what you need to change and thinking you are but being stuck in the same bad habits. I have been stuck at 325-350 max distance for like 8-9 months. I think my biggest distance ever was like 380 but never been able to do that consistently. Been very frustrating. Also cool seeing another gamer in disc golf :). I am an esports commentator (currently working with Valorant but came from CS:GO) and been doing disc golf for 2 years now. I've started doing some disc golf commentary/content. Even did some work for DGPT recently. Neat to see more and more gaming/disc golf crossover!

Awesome Video! I swear I do so many things right but I have no videos!! I really have to start recording myself. I guess the truth will set me free* 😅 I know my form is gonna be pure trash juice 😫

Playing almost 2 years. 200-225 accurate. Biggest source of frustration to my game. Thanks for the videos!

Thank you. Newbie here, this has been helpful and encouraging. A good shot is approaching 200' for me. Most are 125'-150'. However, I blew my right shoulder out and have been throwing left-handed. Not ideal, but hopefully will pay dividends down the road. Looking forward to being able to throw right-handed again soon. Love being outside throwing golf discs on the course and just practicing..

Living in sweden, seeing somone play in t-shirt now, makes me jelaous x) Great vid as always!

up to 300 accurately. 350 max with my wraith

I'm happy to hit 250'-300' accurate after about three to four years of playing. never filmed myself I bet I'm doing it all wrong. Great advice Molt!

Yooo.... Watched MOLT for like 4 years straight after the launch of CR. How did I not know you played disc golf 😂

Been serious 2 months. Farthest throw on a flat field has been 380 on UDisc. I feel comfortable 250-325 depending on the throw.

330’ accurately, but I don’t have much distance after that (350-380). Ive been liking the trespass for a few months now.

Im 53 post back surgery. when I started hitting 280 to 300 was the goal, this was 2015. then in 2019 I took two years off for an injury, just before I did with field work and practice I was able to hit 325 plus on an up hill or flat shot, much farther downhill. I had an obvious issue with my form that I couldn't fix, so in the 2 years I took off, I started over studying form, taking videos working on it etc.. I'm back to 300 to 320 with accuracy slightly uphill, so within 300 I'm pretty solid, and on a dead flat or downhill maybe 325 to 400 but getting back to 325 and over is proving to be a task. I'm out of shape after a long break from playing and arm speed is low, so I believe my form is a lot better now than it was and after a few months of practicing now that it is warming up outside again pretty soon, that I will get back to 325 plus with little trouble. Whether or not I can get farther is the question. Id like to say 350 as a base, but realistically I'm coming up short right now.

Well, your second tip may be inaccurat for many ppl. See Simon Lizotte for example. He throws 5-700ft with a bent arm…. So it may be diffrent for diffrent ppl 👍🏼

Just saying, the full extension to throw max distance isn’t really necessary, Finnish player called Severi Saviniemi doesnt extend his arm fully and throws like 170m

200ft, maybe. The not tensing up / slowing down hit home - exactly what I need to do when I'm prepping myself to throw for distance.

I am 849 rated. Been playing 2+ years. I can throw 250-275 accurately. Great video.

Hahahaha seems everyone can push it out there 500+ but still watching distance tips videos 💀 All these human cannons... unless someone says "holy shit" EVERY time you throw a driver, you aren't throwing over 400ft.

Great video! One thing i think is hard to get a grip on is: when i'm focusing on keeping my arm loose i also relax too much in the wrist, resulting in nose-up. Any ideas about how to correct this?

Clean hat

Grant, Jeff, and I want to play dubs 😤

I am a newbie, never played really on a disc golf course but played on my own made object course, can throw accurate hisers and straight shots till 270 feet and max distance with distance drivers like nuke be 370 feet 😅

My max distance is right around 400 or upper 300’s. My accurate distance is about 100 feet shy of that.

ADD is such a fun thing for Disc Golf... I find myself looking back at my disc and thinking 'pull it through nice and level'.. and don't bother looking till the disc has gone... meanwhile completely forgetting where my feet are or if I'm doing an X step or crow hop... and then either let the disc go.. or pull through hitting myself instead of pulling slightly from the side... The voice in my head isn't just a monolog... it's a shouting match. Even now, every letter I type is a battle with the voice dictating the script... Sometimes I manage that silence when i can just hear.. "That link.... that link there" instead of "I wish someone would shut that dog up, whats that wind about to do, did I put in the last score, did I pickup my disc/marker at that last shot." And you know I didn't pick up that disc, or the marker.. in fact I dropped my phone, lost my glasses and am 2 holes behind in scoring... Fun. But at 55 I can still hit 300ft and can backhand all day... But now I need to watch Michael a bit more because everything he said is ME... Always too fast.. Adding effort for distance.. and I bet my foot is pointing forward!... and i KNOW my putting is letting me down (Just yesterday I gave away 4 strokes to a put that went perfectly... into the lip of the basket... I may hit one in 20 too high... what does that tell me... PAY ATTENTION ME... The signs are all there telling me what to do... sigh.

Nice work Thanks. In May I'll have 2yrs in. I'm throwing 250 to 275 right now. At 6'4" and in pretty good shape I hope to hit 300' this summer. I just turned 70. Maybe 350 before i croak. Take care...

I throw 275 - 325 accurately with 7 speed discs. My farthest throw is 381.

Bro I've been watching your channel since Bloons Tower Defense.. I've been disc golfing for 22 years, when I saw you on the Bogie Bros YT I was blown away lol.. with a 6.5 5 -1 1 Crave I can throw about 350.. best discs out right now Axiom/MVP..

Throw a Putter 300ft?!!! I can’t even throw a driver 300… I throw 265 accurately but 265 is nothing

I have a noodle arm I am accurate to about 225 to 250...wide open I can throw about 300 on a good rip. I have been throwing my avenger ss and an essence to get those distances

Backhand Max-D (open field, decent wind, no specific landing zone) 550+. Golf distance (flying a fairway, actively trying to land in C1x) 450+. Forehand Max-d = 425. FH golf distance = 380.

I throw my tour series luna accurate up to 300ft. Buzz I throw accurate 325. Drivers (Heat, Raptor, Anax) 350-375 fairly accurate. Distance (Hades, Nuke, Force) around 400 - 425 fairly accurate. I tend to throw the slowest disc I can for the shot at hand. Most of the courses I play at around Charlotte are less about distance and more technical in nature (I play out in Albermarle, NC mostly).

I’d say 300-325ft I had a round where I was pouring my lines and threw 360-370 but I think my biggest issue with my form is that I’m not bracing or I’m not engaging my hips. When I looked at my form, it looked pretty darn good but I literally don’t know how to engage my hips/brace

I throw drivers about 100-120m (330-390ft) with a grace/trespass as max distance throws and feel really comfortable throwing mids accurately up to about 280-300ft (claymore and md3 are my go to's) throwing putters is a super strong part of my game from 60-75m (200-250ft) using an aviarx3, p model us and judges, playing for 18 months but get out 4-5 times a week

I throw maybe 330ft on golf lines, I've thrown 400+ft on holes before to get eagles looks. I usually grab a Grace or Lucid Air Trespass for max distance. If I'm looking for a more controlled tight woods 330ft shot I'm probably grabbing an Escape, and hyzer flipping. I have, thanks to you, been extreme hyzer flipping a Diamond for similar shots, super fun!!!!

280. I’m almost abandoning hoping for more distance. Literally I’ve tried for years. Just can’t grasp what’s wrong. Mids and drivers land side by side. Maybe just working on accuracy and putting will be enough…

I like your videos .....But this was over 13 minutes of talk and very little action I thumbed down because of this SORRY

I've not done much distance fieldworks, but on the course, I hit 74-82m (~242.78-269ft) accurately and 93-106.28m (305.12-348.69ft).

I throw 300ft accurately (using any 12-13 speed disc I use a Nuke or katana or zues) I throw 350-375 max distance with about 75% accuracy. I wish I could throw my max accurately and looking to throw 450 max. I'm a side arm dominate player. not sure how to get more distance and feel like I've Plateaud. any side arm distance tips would be great.

320 accurately (River). 360 full crush (Wraith). 400 wide open field with full s-curve flight (Hades or Shryke).

I've been playing sporadically for 2 years. I can consistently get to 250-300, forehand and backhand using usually 9-11 speed. By sporadically i mean maybe on average once a month, maybe 2. Can get up to about 350 or so on a good throw, usually with my proto daedalus.

most accurate golf distance shot would be an essence at around 300-320ft with a hyzer flip. (low wind). 250-280 with putters mid ranges. (pure, penrose). I recently started to show some more accuracy with distance drivers, maybe 320-340ft, orc, wraith, dd2, destroyer. (gline/gstar plastic). its winter still so not sure what will happen when spring eventually comes along.

Playing almost 1 year. At my elevation I throw 350, but 310ish accurately. At sea level threw around 380-400 I think. I like to throw my explorers for 310ft shots. Daint for higher distance then a wave or mamba for max distance

Max distance cap is like 350ft on flat ground with wraiths and thrashers. I feel confident in 280ft accuracy with Passions/undertakers. For me, yes form is hurting distance, but I struggle hard throwing on hyzer. Throwing flat to slight anny is my natural release. Without being able to read film well, I don't know if it's body shaping, my body protecting my plant leg (2 acl surgeries 12 years ago), or simply a bit of wrist roll.

I throw 225-250 accurate. Usually putters, mids and some fairways. I can throw 350ft backhand and around 400ft forehand. You mentioning the knee bend turned on the light bulb for me. The front knee is the place I'm usually sore after throwing. Can't say for sure that's my issue without any film of myself. Seems like the logical place to start. Thanks for the tips!

I can throw about 340-360’ accurately. Been playing for about 8 months, mostly throwing Wraiths and Teebird3s.

I have been playing for 2 months and put in 70 hours of fieldwork before playing a round. I'm hitting 275 with my buzz and 310 with fairway driver relatively consistently. I only trust my buzz in rounds though and default to my left handed hyzer backhand whenever possible.

I'd say I'm pretty accurate around 275-300 backhand and 175-200 forehand. I've played a few times off and on back in the day. I'd say I've been seriously playing and putting in work for a year now. I too have ADHD and I understand how easily a shot can get messed up by overthinking. I used to skateboard so I have some prior experience in having to clear my mind and commiting and having confidence in getting something done. Off the tee I've been trying to slow down and get more of a routine. But I've got a nice one going with my putting.

I throw accurately about 300-315 forehand but can only throw 220-240 backhand accurately. Been playing for 2 years and my favorite disc is the Hades

Been playing for 6 months and can get good pulls around 375. When I started could probably only get around 320. So hopefully in 6 more months I'll be over 400.

280-300 with 8-9 speeds (undertaker, mantis, heat depending on conditions) more or less accurately, 350 personal best way right with gstar wraith 164g or westside sword

I’ve been playing for 7 years now have studied the form thoroughly but can’t seem to brake 300’ consistently. I have incredible accuracy and a really good short game I just can’t get the distance I want. I’ve been hunting for that 350-400’ range for years… 😢

Max distance about 400-420 like 2-3 out of 15 throws. Accurate distance 330-350 feet hyzer flips.

375-400 is cutoff for accuracy, I’m good for 430- 450 with an understable disc. Been playing 9 years, pro.

In the field, 340ft max. On the course 280-300ft. 100-240ft accurately. 1 year anniversary coming up in a month.

350-360 max and 300 accurately. I throw overstable drivers which limits my distance but helps with accuracy. I regularly beat out guys who throw 100 feet further than me because I’m an overall more consistent player

I have been playing about 1.5 years. Can hit 280' golf lines with mids and 310' with slow fairway drivers. Still smoothening out fundamentals so I can throw a mid over 300'

Michael I would be thrilled to throw 300… I throw maybe 225. Do you keep your arm loose and whip your arm like a slingshot? I have seen a video about this? Curious your thoughts thanks.

Been playing rarely (probably like a total of 8 months consistently) for almost 2 years I got told to throw high speed discs like Nuke and Boss and Destroyer and learned forhand first but could only throw probably a max of 270ft the started backhand and trying different discs and I got to where I could get 300ft consistently but very inaccurate cause I was throwing wrong and discs that didn't work for me so I fixed it and my distance dropped to under 200ft but was accurate and started using low speed discs like leopard 3 or TL3 now ive been throwing Anax and love it now I can throw easy 250ft with a max of around 340ft (and I think a big thing for me is I don't do a run up or anything just get a good stance and go from there)

90 meters - 10 speed understable turnover and 9 speed overstable flex. rhbh but they are two extremly different lines. i can chuck 10 speed and carry it 2meters above the ground. whereas that flex shot is 20meters into the air.

Throw 250 accurately, max out at 275 - 300. 60 years old, played for a little over a year, have two titanium rods in my back from major back surgery 10 years ago (because of golf).

Im going to greatly take this into consideration.. this may be the info that takes me over 300 consistently. Thank you

Been handing out the cooked recipe for 7 years.. Able to chuck the chunky putters like 250 with confidence, mids 300, and distance drivers like 350 with a variance of +/-25 dependence on the rip

I am 14 and have been plating for 3 years I've been working on distance for a while and can throw 350' accurately and 400'+ going all out with 12-14 speed discs.

I’ve been playing for about 16 years and I only throw about 225-250 feet accurately. I can throw 300 with almost no control 😂

Played for 10 months, i started with about a 240 avarage and by month 8 i could throw around 300. In the past 2 months i have changed my form and gotten it up to 340-360 consistantly for golf lines.

I can throw around 375-400 constantly with a few a little longer but I'm only comfortable throwing 200ft accurately

Been playing for year and half. My max distance is 450 but I feel like I throw accurate 350’ maybe 375’at best using a destroyer or a D1 from prodigy

400ft blue 175 grace, 425-430 blizzard destroyer, 420ft fission octane.

My max currently is 300ft which I can throw pretty consistently and accurately. I can do this with a Discraft heat or DD freedom. Been playing about 3 years but usually only play casually once a week if it's warm enough (Ohio) with no field work.

Will give some of these tips a shot. I got no clue what I'm doing wrong. I can standstill throw for around 200 average, but if I go through full motion of x step I only average 225. Been playing for around a year.

Max distance in a field is about 370. Accurate distance is around 275-300 I love throwing the grace for long distance shots but usually stick with a lucid getaway if it's not windy for my accurate shots

Ok wtf! I remember when molt was a clash royale youtuber! Stumbled upon this and thought “no this cannot be real”. I fuck with it tho disc golf is the shit!

Took me a whole to realize he was using, "out in the field," to mean the opposite of what it typically does. "In the field" normally means in actual play. Like, on the soccer during an actual game. But in disc golf, you refer to a "field" as an open range that's flat and free of obstructions to practice on. Is this how you all use this word in this context? Or is it just this guy? Is it intentional? Is he or you aware of the amusing flip of meaning employed here?

Cant even pass 160 ish full power and maybe accurate on 140 😔

I throw up to around 350' accurately with my Trespass and Thrasher. I've thrown as far as 380' on flat ground, with a Trespass.

Accurately? 300 maybe lol I start losing control after 350. My biggest throw is around 425-450

Max distance 350-375 ft but Accurately 250-300 been playing almost 2 years

I don't really have the skill to throw anything accurately all the time. When I'm on, I'm on, and when I'm off I'm usually way off. I get the wraith and mystere out to about 400-415, but most of my drives are placement shots with 7 and 9 speeds somewhere between 300 and 350 feet. I almost never throw my faster discs.

Just started played maybe 5 courses. I can throw 170-220 accurate ish. Buzz, roc3, sol

250’ to 275’ with more mid to fairway. I stopped throwing my distance drivers because they go just as far and less accurate

I’ve got 330ft accurate in the trees. Pure distance I’m only at the 380 ft consistently but my farthest ever throw was 454.

I’ve been playing 2 months and I’m throwing about 325-350. Sometimes I get some close to 4.

I can only throw about 150-200 feet accurately, been playing for less than a year, and can throw my putters the same distance as my drivers and mid range, is this normal for a beginner or complete garbage?

I throw about 300ish feet pretty accurately. I don't throw any high speed drivers though so I'm sure that helps with accuracy. River and essence are my go to drivers

If you're too fast on your walk/run up, watch old clips of Valerie Jenkins. Her easy rhythm is unflappable.

Holy sht! The first 2 main things you brought up is accurate for me! NICE VIDEO

Stuck at around 300. No matter what disc or what wind… so annoying.

I max out around 420 - but forehand only I'm pretty accurate around the 400 range. Not too worried about throwing further than that - but wouldn't mind if I could either lol!

im 13, have played about 1.5 years and i throw comfortable usually 210-230ft

I've only recently started onto working on distance but I'm stuck around 150 ft with botg drivers and mid range

I can throw putters and mids between 275 to 330 respectively. My issue is drivers and its not a power issue but an angle and timing issue. Ive been told my lower body is great but upper body isnt timed correctly and my arm (im a righty) isnt level leading to a nose up angle
