Quick Disc Review: The Forge Discs NAIL [Gift Away]
This is a quick review of the Forge Discs NAIL. At the time of recording, I had thrown the discs in about 5-6 rounds and done a bunch of fieldwork with it. I couldn't be happier with the results and I'm wildly impressed!

Thanks. Great suggestions
Great reminder to retrace and focus on form/timing 👍🏻
Good succinct video without any BS. The table tip I got from JohnE McCray for thowing backhand, the L64 guys refer to it as "stroking the board" which they mention in a putting tutorial vid.
I want to print that so fierce LOL. Id don't mind paying but it also kinda hurts my feelings having someone else print it when i have my own printer
@@digital0785 Their design isn't public so it wouldn't be this disc. They also add a layer to the top to help rigidity and keep it together.
Did they share what material they use?
@@sk4428 I don't think so, but I'm pretty confident it's a flexible blend TPU (sorry, not overly familiar with 3D printing but my friend who is mentioned it, but I didn't dig on specifics)
Those look awesome!!! I'd love to win the giveaway 🤞
Looks like one of those was printed on a textured build plate, good looking disc
@@EJtruck that's just how most stuff that's 3d printed ends up. It feels solid though!
New sub here. Thanks for the info. I will look for one of these soon. Love supporting the new companies.
Awesome!
Love this disc.
I like it and it’s a nice looking disc!
Nail Nerd!
As a former forehand bomber, smooth and flat are way easier on the inner muscles of the forearm. The table drill is one I never considered, nice tip for sure. I getting old...and my arm is definitely seeing the effects of 20 years and I couldn't make it through the entire season without injury. No more 400' throws for me. Now I stick with my forehand Zone approach and the occasional crush with the Crave of all discs. My longest this season was a 405' bomb setting me up for an eagle look on a par 5. Those shots are few and far between. But a reliable and accurate 300' is all you really need on a forehand.
@@theoneandonlystanima7018 I played tennis for about 15 years, year round. I'm terrified of injury, especially playing a game in not paid to do, haha. So I'm NEVER throwing above like 80%. It keeps things extra smooth too.
Great tips. Number 2 really resonated with me. Thanks.
Of course! Glad to help
Started playing last spring. I definitely went to throwing far to quick. I think I am doing decent now. However, I cannot comfortably throw stand stills because I never really learned them and they feel too different than when I do a three step. Since noticing this issue this summer. I have tried looking for a good tutorial for stand stills and there just really aren't any. Most channels just make videos for the x step or 3 step approach because that is what gets views. I would love a good stand still tutorial.
@@rooster700rr This was me with backhand for YEARS until I tweaked my knee doing something else, and then was forced to learn standstill. My run up only adds like 25ft of distance on my standstills... Pretty eye opening to my form problems
Could have swore you were doing some green screen effect in this video but maybe it's just the camera settings plus wearing all black haha
@@kevinkevinholt This one was.filmed on my phone, so I'm sure it was something weird with that.
Is this Stokely approved??? But seriously, great video.
@@outdoorenthusiastenl4907 haha thank you. I took a lot of ques from him!
can you talk about your thumb placement and how much pressure you are using. Are you really locking it into meat of your hand
@@jeremyhays9433 I briefly mention it. It's hard to say because everyone's perspective on how firm something is is different. The best way to explain it is I stretch my hand out as much as I can, push the disc into my middle finger/meat of my thumb, and then relax my hand. The friction of the grand relaxing is all the grip I need. Mildly firm fingers, loose wrist!
Great instruction. Good job.
Jerm and Nate aren't the best FH players =/ Good video otherwise =]
@@brandonstevens1832 Ask any pro on tour who the top 5 FH on tour is and I promise both Jerm and Nate will be in the top 5 ;) I'd say top three if it were 2021.
Your front foot is very closed. I've noticed most pros open that foot up a lot more toward the target.
@@kevinkingmaker7395 It's mostly a standstill thing, some do it and some dont. And if you notice I rotate on my heel as I throw
I have been teaching the “table” analogy for 30+ years… mostly for a backhand but it works for a lot of throws…
Great video, Chris! Looking forward to your next one(s) on backhand form!
Very good stuff, this is done so well.
Not bad for a guy with his phone (and really just made for TT)
@@crunchy_dg1191 Alot of big youtube channels still using phones, in some cases a phone is better when you need a wider depth of field. Wanna come to washington and teach me 🤣
Sweet Thumbnail!
Thank ya
Keeping the disc in line with the back foot is definitely something that should help me out. The drill to keep the disc in line with the edge of the tee pad is also something I’ll have to try out Thanks for the straight forward, genuinely helpful content! Keep it up!
@@DeckofLies Just don't fall into the habit of relying too much on teepads during your rounds. Then if you walk up to a crooked one it may get in your head. Specifically only do it during form sessions for that reason! Glad to help.
thanks. very nicely explained
Thank ya
interesting. I started out with positioning the feet like you do but then had everybody telling me including most utube tutorials that the front foot faces forward towards the target. how did you make the decision to keep a stance like you do? Im seriously thinking about doing my old stance again as it felt more comfortable.
@@StarCraftNoobTrainer I forgot to explain it, but I do put pressure on my front heel so I can rotate. I personally keep my foot sideways on standstills because it keeps my hips from opening too soon
Damn... there goes my jump putt. 😅 i always release my discs while im airborne. Back to square 1
@@donmatter1219 glad I could help! Haha
The table thing helped me a lot. Thank you.
If I don't think about it i overturn mine like 50% of the time!
Forehand is painful!!!!!
Slow is smooth, smooth is far. I NEVER throw over 80% power forehands. I'm not about to get injured doing something that isn't my job! haha
i can throw 600ft in a good tailwind on backhand.. we should collab sometime bcuz i need to get my sidearm distance up!
This is golden!
Currently developing my forehand , thank you for the information.
This is interesting stuff! I've only been playing a year and if I have to throw a forehand, it's a bit of a small flicking motion to get spin with a little push.
@@pineapplesaucedaboss great place to start! That's mostly what I meant in the section where I talk about a short reachback
-Use a stacked grip by pressing middle finger into edge of disc -Start with a neutral to understable 5ish speed -Make a straight line from reach back (not behind back) to target -Load on back leg and smoothly transition to front leg during throw -Reduce wobble by throwing smoothly & nose down -Focus on smooth spin
@@pineapplesaucedaboss more or less. Heh (but I do go over most of the grips, everyone is different)
@@crunchy_dg1191 it's a struggle for me 😂
Good stuff!
That staggered, perpendicular lead foot really helped with getting a good release! Very helpful. Thanks dude! You get my “like” and “sub.”
this doesn't show how you get 400ft. this sounded more like a beginner guide to forehand. I'd like to see what you figure out to go from like 300ft or so to then 400ft.
@@adamlassen1185 The very first throw is 400ft. All of what I was doing lead to that ~250ft Buzzz shot. And then... Throw a driver. I swear that's it. For almost a year I only threw either spike hyzer forehands for mid range shots.
I'm currently on a path to 400+, I was 250 a year ago, I'm 350 now. You need more arm and core strength. I have been doing throw specific strength training and I feel like I'm doing the same thing but the disc goes so much further. Have you ever been in a cast? You lose an amazing amount of strength in those 9 weeks. I'd dare say you can lose strength at the same rate you can gain strength. If you throw a lot more you gain some strength, if you do weight training you gain much more faster. The best gains come from the least fun, field work, putting practice, and weight training
Very helpful to visualize the proper form, brace, and follow through. I've got friends who roll their wrist, but I don't find that helpful. Using under-stable discs can only work with smooth release. I really like the idea of sliding the disc across a table; that's a great tip 👍
@@texcll That swing thought of the table is honestly the most useful swing thought I have come up with. It helped my aim immensely
Always fun to listen to bag construction. I like that you keep your bag simple.
@@aSQUIDsurvives OS, stable, and Understable for each disc category. Makes things easy IMO. I do a lot of fieldwork to make sure there isn't overlap other than backups.
“Golf”
You get it! Gold star
Great tips! I'm exactly at the point in my early career where these are super useful. I'm practicing every day and hopefully these will help.
Tip 4 is really good and also works for drives
Great video! Are you in Muncie? That looks very similar to a course I play there when I’m in town.
You got it!
Amazing tips !!!! Thank you. Simple to the point and good info.
Excellent content. That really helps me understand foot faults
Great video! I've been working on my putting as well and have come to a lot of the same conclusions (definitely feel your missing right when coming across the body- not sure how people do that). I just wanted to ask real quick- is there a way you visualize your elbow bend? When I bend/unbend my elbow I always feel like I'm bringing in some inconsistency. Also, are you pointing your front toe straight towards the basket? It looks like your offsetting it slightly which is something I found Gabe me more room to bring the disc back into but I wasn't as consistent with. Thanks and have a good one!
The one thing that has helped me improve my putting percentage... putting leagues!
Man I wish we had more of these near me. Seems like it only works in the big cities
@@crunchy_dg1191 it’s been game changing, it helps me replicate “high pressure” putting, like you feel during tournaments. Luckily, we’ve had some luck & get a good 20-30 person turnout weekly.
Can we bet? I don't step putt much, but releasing before your stance foot leaves the ground isn't rocket science. I'm kind of broke and could use the extra $.
"It isn't rocket science" sure. But tell that to the dozens of people on thr pro tour that still can't do it. If the release is late at all or unless you do it like CF or AB like I mentioned... most people are in the air.
This shouldn’t take 9 mins to explain
The sad part is I agree. But I wasn't kidding when I said I had this discussion four or five times past week on multiple platforms
I've had it take 30 minutes before. unfortunately most people are very very dumb
