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!

    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.

    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.

The friction of the grand relaxing is all the grip I need. Mildly firm fingers, loose wrist!

      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

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!
