Great stuff! I love how you don't care about someone trying to make fun of you. Hundreds, or most likely thousands of disc golfers have improved their game because of your videos. Please keep them coming!
I don't care what anyone says, your videos alone have helped me more than anything. I am not sure if people just try and consume EVERY piece of information out there on how to throw a backhand and deveolp conflicting results due to different approaches and nothing lining up for them. My breakthrough has come because i practice EVERY day... not because your videos magically made me better by just watching them. I don't even want to be a pro, I just want to be good at something I thoroughly enjoy. I had to actually change how I approach my lifestyle to accomodate this sport and it has done nothing but give positive results. Your videos/drills were just the catalyst that inspired me to put in the work. I needed to feel how my body wanted to work and I used that as a baseline to improve with your content as a blueprint. Guess what, over time I found myself being able to move more fluid, with less effort, and no pain. Oh yeah, NOW my form looks cleaner and SO much better and I am still putting in work to get to 500 feet (152 meters). I just want to say thank you, truly and genuinely, for taking time and effort to produce content that we can consume for free and that is helping those around you AND those all over the world.. That is a noble cause and should never be ridiculed or despised in any way. Cheers.
Thank you. I sincerely appreciate that you took the time to write down these words even though no one asked for them. Your kind gesture has made my day. I agree with you. Neither would I want to trade my current lifestyle for being a touring disc golf professional. However, I continue to study the game and share the information I learn because I aim to improve daily. Thank you.
I'm definitely going to work on gently moving my throwing arm into the pocket and really exploding at the very last moment. Until now I've always started accelerating it from the peak of the 'reachback' when I'm coiled and my arm is fully extended. I think that means that centrifugal force takes over, I don't get into the pocket, I over rotate and my throwing arm swings out early. I'm looking forward to changing that if I can!
Good idea. I'm not sure how to teach it in practice, since we all have different ideas about "full power" and "accelerating"and so on, but I do believe the deep pocket can in most cases create more speed and spin. Getting there is the hard part! You can also try if shortening the reach back (bent arm style) makes it easier for you.
I’m going to work on keeping my arm more relaxed. I think the key may be to loosen my grip a touch. I always feel like I’m muscling it. I can break 300’ at the moment and hopefully I’ll get to 350’ then 400’. I appreciate you making this videos. I need to simplify my approach to practicing.
the farthest shot i ever threw came when i was most relaxed through the entire shot no lie.. i did like give it a slight burst through the deep pocket but mainly smooth.. when i try to be fast even i dont get it as far.. for me relaxed is the key word! good info as always!

I love how you make it simple. When Kuoksa basically made a roast, but hey it's not a roast and so on, but keeps going on it made me puke in my mouth. He is 1010 which is very good, but world wide it's basically nothing to be all cocky about. Also, the video he made the roast about, was going deep into a specific problem, not a general form. Love how you don't mention anything about his roast, says a lot about you.
@@tipiirai I deal with people making a hit piece on me the same way as some random drunk shouting insults at me on the street. No reaction is the best reaction. I won't give them the attention they want.
SLINKY The universal concept of disc golf. It's what makes this sport so hard. Seems to me that the tension you can build moving forward while holding back, then holding steady and letting everything unwind/ release/ follow through. Is in my putting, forehand and backhand. It's a lot like a slinky.
Thank you for this video! Do you have any drills you recommend for stopping the momentum? I struggle a lot with this and lose a lot of explosiveness as a result.
So many of my videos are basically about not throwing your body over the brace. The key is to not try to muscle it with the upper body, but to stay low and keep the torso from falling over the brace.
Love your videos but quick question is there a way I could send a form video so I can keep so good advice from you pls lmk and thanks for your videos im seeing the improvements!!!!
I actually took your advice from the 1-1 series and tried to throw my old UltraStar, but couldn't get it to fly hardly at all. Could you maybe please do a video on what kinds of problems failing to throw the UltraStar is likely to reveal?
Meanwhile me: throws 200+ drives in a field session and feels like I’ve been in a car wreck for a couple days. Yeah, I’m muscling too hard. 400-475ft but yeah, muscling it a lot. 😕
How do I do the “biceps curl” you talk about in your arm video, and is that even something I should focus on? I only have a max distance of ~250 ft and am getting discouraged about how to improve my distance specifically
@@dgspindoctor That makes sense (and the opposite of what I was doing). What videos of yours would you recommend for distance improvement for a relative beginner? Or would you say to just go watch all of the Great One-on-One
But in some photos of professional players the forearm is very tense and it almost looks as though the skin of the back of the arm is like someone is pinching it and pulling it away from the arm. I don’t get how this happens.
Oh, it happens because of the last-moment grip squeeze and mainly because the arm moves fast; the skin is "ripped" off the soft tissue, showing the muscles way more pumped than they are.
Hey a super simple way to get a very rough swap from meters to feet is mulitplying by 3! So a fast estimation for 80m would be 240ft (reality is 260ft but still).
@@dgspindoctor That kuoksa dude needs to quit nit picking you and make a video on slingshot and his dogmatic back leg knee twisting bullshit. Something actually worth criticizing.
Mä vastaan mielelläni kysymyksiin. En ole ko. videota katsonut, mutta mulle on kerrottu, että ei siellä kysymyksiä ollut. Ja jos nyt ihan rehellisiä ollaan, niin mua ei voisi vähempää kiinnostaa, jos joku haukkuu mua videolla. Antaa mennä, jos se tuntuu hyvältä!

Tens of thousands, and not a single paywall in sight.

Another video of sage wisdom, Jaani. Thanks again for all you and breaking it down like this for us.
Glad you enjoyed it!

I always throw better when I focus on relaxing my arm. Great reminder!
It's the little things that make the biggest impact
You're a good coach I appreciate you. You're one of the few that's actually helped me. The brace is key...

I feel like I've had the same problem. Definitely going to work on that.

Great video as always. . Thanks for sharing this content
My pleasure!
Your My Boy Blue! It's been a while, I had to get away from all the noise for a minute. Go. Stop. Sling. Love That.
Rock on!
Go. Stop. Sling. Always keeping it simple works for me 👍
I can make it even simpler: Throw the damn disc and stop thinking.
But now is not the time for that!
I love how you make it simple.

I have no more reason to care about people roasting me online than getting harassed by random drunkies on the street. Non-event, so to say.
@@dgspindoctor but is Kuoksa roasting though? Or who do you refer to as the "random drunkie"?

do you have the same grip pressure for all shots?
The slower shots need less pressure.

Could be, or could be something else.
How do I do the “biceps curl” you talk about in your arm video, and is that even something I should focus on? I only have a max distance of ~250 ft and am getting discouraged about how to improve my distance specifically
Really relaxed, guidance in, not squeezing the biceps.

Guys that was clearly an anhyzer!
Keep IT simple 👍
I try, you too!
I have to. Bad Back and old 😁
Thanks for the content. Where do you play in Taiwan?
No problem. I don't really play disc golf anymore, so I really don't know about the scene here.
This comment makes me a little sad. How do you maintain enthusiasm for the sport without the fun of playing?
@@yggyking10 I don't.
@@dgspindoctor That's sad, I feel bad for you. I hope you find some enjoyment in creating videos.
I do, but mostly in studying the throw. The videos are a byproduct of that.
Im worried is there drama between you and kristian kuoksa
People can use me to get clout if they want to, but I don't know what's going on, nor do I care.

Listen to this for disc golf backhand form advice. Don't use him as a math tutor though.🤣
Yeah, well said. I was TOTALLY OFF. To my defence: I just misspoke, I actually do know the feet and meters 🫣.
Kaippa sieltä on tulossa video liittyen kuoksan sekvenssisen kineettisen energian siirtymis teoriasta (with evidence of success) vs spindoc. ?
Nope.

kuoksa roasted you
I wish you good fortune in learning anything useful and adaptable from someone of his caliber.
He tried to, but ended up roasting himself.
It was not the first time that he showed his toxic feelings towards Jaani. He's a pure clown.
