3 things you NEED for a PERFECT throw!!

- In this video Tomas Ekström talks about 3 different things needed for a perfect disc golf throw - whether you´re a beginner or not. And WHY those things are needed. It´s also about the difficulty to have all 3 working well together.
The 3 steps are the Stop (weight transfer), the Twist and the Arm. ”Stop” meaning the moment the foot in front - in the final stance during the throw (right foot with a right handed backhand) comes to a complete stop transferring the energy from the run-up up in and up in the body and ultimately to the disc. The Twist comes right after the reach back when the lower and upper body are twisted opposite each other. Creating a spring effect when the upper body then follows the throwing motion of the hips (think of it as twisting the upper half of an actual spring and then letting go). Same idea here. The Arm is the final step. Pulling the disc, giving it said power from the Stop and the Twist.
NOTE!
These steps doesn´t happen in an A,B,C-pattern necessarily. It all happens very fast hence the diffuculty getting everything right when timing the throw. And having 2 out of these 3 steps is relatively easy and something that most people can get. It´s added that 3rd thats the tricky part. But this (having all 3) combined with a good timing is KEY to throw as far as you possible can!
We hope you enjoy the video and do let us know if there´s something you´d like to see on the channel :)

I'm so happy that Tomas has the patience, or the sheer force of will to ignore Jonathan's snark and antics because these videos work so well with BOTH components. I look forward to each and every one of these. Thanks Gentlemen!!
its like a great buddy cop movie. i love it.
Haha I thought this would go in another direction when starting reading 😂😂. Glad you like it /Jonathan
"Who's paying for this operation?"
😂
You guys are hilarious together. I love the end too, “got to catch them all” and Tomas says ‘yes’ but I’m pretty sure has no clue about the reference lol
Always look forward to you two’s antics !! So much fun 🤩
Love these Jonathan and Tomas!
Better be
The two of you are becoming more and more entertaining. Absolutely love these videos!
I always take the rotation the earth into account with every throw, then I still hit a tree.
Maybe the trees bends a little bit due to the rotation? Hmmmm. /Jonathan
@@Latitude64 they most definitely do!
Tomas is such a great teacher. Love the dynamic between you two lol. Looking forward to an update on your progress after all of his teaching!
Gotta catch them all...I almost died laughing!
😂👍
Mike Pratt me too! Dude is very subtly funny.
This was such a great visual. It all makes sense now, thank you Tomas and Jonathan.
Dude the analogy is fantastic! Love the videos keep them coming!
The first video on timing that makes PERFECT sense. Thank you.
Love this series; you guys have been a great help!
I really appreciate the way you explained the run up guys. Thanks for always making very informative and entertaining content.
Great. The park manager just banned me for bringing a warship onto the course. Thanks Tomas...
Man I knew this would happen. Always call in advance. Always!!!
Best explanation I have heard!!! Keep it coming! Thank you Latitude 64 !!!
Great illustration. Thank you for sharing!
Short; simple; and informative.
Sweet spot 👍
Thanks guys
I just love you guys so much... thanks for this!
That is a most excellent explanation of the proper technique to get your speed. Thank you.
I love the metaphor. It helps me picture what I need to do for a perfect throw a little better.
I felt the same way as you Adam. It´s not rocket science but makes a lot of sense. /Jonathan
You two guys may be the coolest disc golf people on TH-cam. Can''t get enough of you guys. Really wish your videos were much longer so I can get even more enjoyment in my day.
Thank you, Gerald. That´s very nice of you. /Jonathan
laughing and learning...thank you guys and keep up the good work !!!
Good stuff!
I haven't thought about the throw in that way and how it affects the legnth of the throw.
New things to disect in my form! Perfect, onwards to the fields!
Another awesome video, thanks guys!
This makes so much sense now! Thank you.
Best ever explanation. Visual information was very productive and useful
Gotta catch them all. Omg I’m in tears😂
The smurk at the end, love it :'D
That makes so much sense!!
You guys are just hilarious. I love your humor in the middle of delivering some really good helpful nuggets. Keep 'em coming!
Glad you like the videos Zach :). Have a nice day! /Jonathan
These are great!
Great Video, we want more!
it sounds so simple when you explain it and I watch Albert show it. now if i could just achieve it. I will definitely be using my new prototype Royal discs to do some more practicing in the field. thanks guys!
Yeah thats the thing. Putting theory into practice. For me this helped with the mindset of getting better :) /Jonathan
This series of videos, along with how fun of a game Disc Golf Valley is, led me to purchase some L64 discs (like a lot of folks I started with the Innova 3 disc starter kit and hadn't really even considered L64) as a way to show my appreciation for the quality content. I'm a Pure convert and want many more of them for practice, now. I guess what I'm saying is thank you.
I´m glad you like the videos :). /Jonathan
Very nice! Liked it!
These videos are great! You both work so well together. I would love to see content breaking down Tomas and Jonathan's throws based on this video so we can see when all three are working together correctly and when they are not. Latitude 64 is quickly taking over my bag. Keep up the great work as I hope my purchases help "Pay for this operation".
That´s a good idea. Maybe I´ll ad that segment in another video. Thank you for the feedback, James. /Jonathan.
I've been playing 22 years and can still barely throw over 300 on a good shot. I still haven't figured out that whip action but think if I keep practicing things I will get it soon.
I always think it's funny to walk into a pro shop and say, "I'm looking for a disc that can go really far" haha.
@Jeremy Kins There's one hole at Blue Ribbon Pines in Minnesota that has distance markers 200', 250', 300'... It's a 750' par 4 wide open field. One time I made it to right about the 250' marker, 2nd shot was right in line with the 500' marker, 3rd shot went right in the chains for a birdie! It was absolutely sick!
Literally have never thought about it this way. Makes sense! Jonathan is a pretty funny dude...
Same here! Thank you, Jeremy! /Jonathan
Love these guys! Informative and so damn funny!
Cheers! 😀👍
I understood 💯
These are gems, lmfao... GJ guys!
Love these videos. As a new player (old new player) they are very helpful! You should talk about the stretches some of us old folks should do before we go out and throw. I just pulled something behind my knee, probably due to cold weather and not stretching I would guess.
I think we´ll get into that more and more during the first part of next year. As the season starts where we´re at in Sweden :). /Jonathan
"Disc Golf Strong" has a warm-up stretching routine video

@@danlewis1885 thanks!!!
Now I see...
That speed is add-it-ty
for my disc escape gravity
and fly with some velocity.
Bonus points for your hilarity.
Keep it up boys
I respectfully
Enjoy your creativity
Cherish that immensely!
Sorry, got deep all suddenly
Better end with some stupidity
Fart.
/Jonathan
@@Latitude64 I hope you're getting outside there. peace
DAMMIT!! Now I gotta get my hands on a warship...
(an a poke ball apparently)
A man gotta do what a man gotta do 😂 /Jonathan
Even if didn’t play disc golf, I’d watch this stuff for the comedy. But I get both! Who could ask for more!?
I´m glad, Bryan :) /Jonathan
Nice explanation 🎅🏻🥏🏔🏴☠️
I'm an engineer and I completely understand this. However, why I never applied this to throwing the disc is well, let's not talk about that. Thanks for the insight. I love your vids.
This video should be nothing special. But instead it's a unicorn! Sadly very few talk about basic physics with Disc Golf and it is SO needed. Good video on a basic concept.
Haha you got me with "unicorn". Glad you like the video. /Jonathan
+plus: Don‘t underestimate the spin given by your wrist. The spin of the disc sets. warships, trailers and players power on a railwaytrack and it will travel further.
I'm still trying to paint the rainbow .... now this .... 😄
Now I just gotta go find a really big ship to play on
"Sir! Sir!!! You can´t just put a trailer here. What? Don´t you dare throw that thing".
That might happen 😂
Throwing good is just a set of multiplication variables. Fixing the worst chain link is always better, but increasing all is also good.
We need one movie in real Skellefteåmål with english subtitle :) You guys doing a great job!
Du ha discn här. Seru? Snören dit. så! Klart!!
@@Latitude64 ha men! 🙂
@@MikaelPettersson75 Jag menade då att det hade varit en video. Glömde sätta ""-tecken. Inte meningen att låta dryg, haha :)
@@Latitude64 haha. Just do it!
Omg perfect editing. Soo funny but when Jonathan does catch Tomas off guard, priceless :)
Thank you :) /Jonathan
Ok, good explanation but how do I work on this! In what order? Please, make a video for the battleship, one for the trailer and one for the arm (pull)!
I´ll have a think. Cheers for the feedback! /Jonathan
pretty cool that rammsteins lead singer has time to explain disc golf to you.
Hey Tomas im Tomas, but finnish!
We need more of Jonathan and Thomas
ive been getting 400ft out of my side arm, this makes me feel a lot better about it if a former pro throws 428ft
thats great!! =)
I think it'd be interesting to see the form difference between the '426 thrower and the '526 thrower. In my area there are plenty of people with 426 distance, but very few with 526 and beyond. So at least to me, it doesn't really matter if you throw 426 since that's what the good distance throwers are throwing already..
but yes.. I know this is a beginner series. And you guys are doing a great job chronicling the beginner's journey. Keep it up!
Also, I'd love to see Tristan Tanner's reaction when you tell him the reason he can't throw far is because his run-up is too slow 🤣
Haha maybe I´ll tell him in person one day. As he starts his walk-up. "you know Tristan...."😂😂
@@Latitude64 "you know Tristan, the reason you ONLY throw a 70mph forhand is that your walk up is lazy" mmhm yeah, makes sense to me! 🤣🤣 reality--> the wonder and amazement of endless practice resulting in near perfect timing...
does throwing a l64 help me to catch them all?
Yes 😀👍
Daredevil Jonathan will catch them all!
Woop!
The body moving forward is ridiculously slower than the arm, but I get the point.
150...gotta catch em all...are we going to see a Pokemon + Latitude 64 collaboration?
2021 might be the year for that 😂
I had never considered throwing from a moving vehicle until now
And then they make the tee pads so short.... Too bad.
So now I need a warship!? Man, disc golf is getting expensive!
Ahh, so I need to take my boat OFF of the trailer!? LOL
Usually, when I get these elements arranged perfectly my fellow golfers are amazed at the smoothness and apparent ease of my throw. unfortunately I rarely get them right when trying to "kill" a drive! Slow is smooth and smooth is fast they say...but pacing the approach without hesitation and having smooth momentum is the challenge. Along with not rounding and making sure the angle of release is correct and......having fun in the meantime (doh!)
*"slow is smooth, and smooth is far"
@@Bananahead88 yeah, Danny stole the expression and changed "fast" to "far"
Klockrent slut måste jag säga. Pokemon!
please closed caption so i can understand you better... thanks David
Hey, David. That should be working in a day or two. As I understand it youtube needs some time to analyze a video that´s been uploaded.
@@Latitude64 yeah , You're my huge fan of Lat64 for long time. I wish I can be part of Lat64 Team ha.
My warship is only speed 5, but if an expert says that it instantly adds 50kmph then so be it :D
but if you stretch your hand back before throwing, the speed of the disc stops for a moment.
i think this is slightly false. you can't add all of those together as the run up is only setting up the coil. most power i feel comes from how far you can "wind" the coil and accelerate it. the further you wind the coil means the more time you have to build acceleration through the motion, not to mention the other factors like spin rate that go into the overall potential energy of that discs flight.
Gotta catch them all lmao
😂😂
Ja ja men dåså, då är det ju enkelt... Mouahahahaaa! Jo tjena! Sen ska man ju, när man får till ansatsen, vridningen och kastet bra (lätt som sagt) också komma dit man vill... Varför föll jag för den här sporten för?
But but but.... limit of speed of light and such.... j.k. :)
I've been playing for 3 years now .. and I just don't get it. Grew up playing baseball and golf, golfing for 20 years. Can hit a driver 280-285. 300+ if I catch it.
But for some g*dam reason, I can't throw a disc past like ....250ft. I've watched so many videos and practice, but nothing works. It's aggravating
Sorry to hear, Marc. Distance isn´t everything (people say). Sorry that I can´t be to any help. /Jonathan
And yet Tristan Tanner has like the slowest walk up ever and just bombs the discs.
If you have awesome arm speed I guess you can get away with more. If you are average and want to do good you need it all.
I think it’s more about acceleration than the outright walk-up speed. If you study how TT accelerates through the rotation, with immense power from the hips, it seems he doesn’t need to run up. It’s like a powerful explosion when he unleashes the disc. He did a form breakdown with slow motion video.
Who sponsors him again? ;-)
Its all about being explosive where it counts
You forgot to add the speed of the Earths rotation which averages around 1000 mph.
I need a boat
For some reason I found it hilarious to imagine Tomas running in 50km/h.
Are you guys going to ask for forehand videos from viewers and then provide tips as you did for backhands? Would be super helpful
That´s a good idea! I´ll put in on the list and maybe it´ll be a video. Thank you! /Jonathan
"Warship not included."
What is it that your trying to say?
There´s a description below the video. Maybe that will be more clear :) /Jonathan
That analogy doesn’t necessarily make sense, you’re still throwing at 50km/h if you’re on a trailer going 50km/h? Am I wrong?
trailer on ship is still only going 50.....same as the ship
It´s meant to be that the trailer is also driving on the big ship :)
the ship speed is a constant....doesnt matter if trailer is moving....physics
So...I need a ship, a trailer, and a disc. Got it.
War ship if you can 😀👍
so easy :D
just get the timing right :D :D :D
git gud
the earth revolves around the sun at 30,000 km/second and I still can’t throw the disc 300ft 😔
The earth got it down! But maybe set the standard a little bit lower 😀😂
All you have to do is time stopping the earth's rotation with your throw and you'll crush it (and everything else)
BAZOOKA TOOTH
rofl
Men... Vafaaan 😂
This didnt help my drive. 🤨
Focus on each independently and it will. If you start focusing on all of these, you'l likely lose focus on other things in your drive. Backhand ain't easy.
Sorry om det var otydligt titel, Mikael. :) /Jonathan
How is this in English and I have no idea wtf they're saying. 🤔
There´s a description below the video if you´re interested. Maybe it´ll help :) /Jonathan
This video did NOT make a whole lot of sense, unless the point was to say that timing is important.
Made no sense at all
Eat more vegetables? It’s pretty simple dude
@@alitabattlechicken9732 Oh. Got it. Thanks
@@popjibbletz What's so difficult to understand? Every joint you wind up adds speed to the disc when you release it
I´m sorry you feel that way, Kris. Was there something in particular that was unclear? /Jonathan
