This kind of content is great because, once again, I believe it shows off the difference between the pros and the ams. It's not just huck it as far as you can, it's a huge huck with the ability to land within an area, plus knowing what your discs will do in the environment thrown at top speed. I hope to see Mikey crushing one in a distance competition again and landing in bounds! Hands off to the pros for making it look so easy we all think we can do it! Nice footage, gents. Congrats.
Mikey, your positive outlook and determination, even after things didn't go as planned, are truly inspiring! It’s amazing to see how you keep moving forward with such a great attitude. Keep up the awesome energy-you’ve got this man!
The disc golf throw and the golf swing are so fascinating to me. I’m in my late 30’s, I’ve played traditional golf since age 4, found disc golf 14 years ago and love both. Mikey mentioned “creating space”. Traditional golf is so similar. You have to create space between yourself and the club, rotating your hips through the swing, making impact with the ball with a forward shaft lean, with the club bottoming out inches past the ball (irons and wedges, not drivers). If you do that you’ve delivered the club to the ball in the best way possible, with the correct club path to face angle ratio. We call it dropping the club “into the slot”. It’s like the golden ratio for golf. Disc golf may have something similar-a few fundamental benchmarks you’d want to see as one progresses through their throw. I feel like y’all get this, and have for a while, which is one of the reasons why I love this channel!
Really cool to see Ezra bomb one to nearly win after last year (I think he was sub-500 every throw last year, or last filmed one I saw anyways). I knew he had way more but didn't realize he was hitting 650+, that's nuts.
I figured you'd be a good source to ask this. I've always wondered why they say keep your back foot close to perpendicular to your line as you can. Watching these throws... especially AB's, his foot looks like it is almost parallel to his line. Which always made more sense to me as I feel like you would get better explosiveness from using less abductor muscles and more quads and hamstrings as you do from planting with a more lateral rotation of your back foot.
I did the same thing at MCO this year with most of the field on my channel for a golf shot. Love the slow mo’s of people trying to crush. It’s a lot easier to see the themes of what’s going on that’s correct and where the latitude is for personal style. Like I see other than obviously near perfect timing at everything, the one thing every pro does absolutely the same is the elbow from 90 degrees in the pocket to extended straight right at the hit point, ie super crazy whip at the last moment. I have a bad tendency to kind of “throw my whole arm” so not getting that elbow bent and extended in the timing of the throw, which then acts like a sail slowing down my whole rotation and taking away tons of power. No pro fails to do that perfectly.
Just watched an old OT video and realized that Josh has dropped some major L Bs!!! Everyone is getting credit where the credit is due on this video so I Figured Josh deserves a little love as well. Proud of you brother ✊🏻
Albert Tamm just casually walking up and throwing almost 700 on what is clearly a golf line is just insane. Most casual-looking powerthrower in the world imo, backhand and forehand.
BTW, This a great video. I wonder though. It seems that a lot of the women have the disc pointed up on the back swing while most men have it pointed down. Is more speed/spin generated by having the disc pointed down vs up?
Pointed down makes it easier to get across the chest without hitting yourself so for obvious physical reasons we are going to see ladies adopt that style more often
@@OverthrowDiscGolf Ok...But does it make a difference to velocity and spin? Do men have higher velocities than women because they point the disc down during the back swing?
Having seen Big jerm throw a 510ish foot BOMB in person playing a casual round before thinking it was shocking how far it went, and then seeing AB throw almost 200ft farther than that shot really puts this into perspective. My measly 450ft on my best day after 15 years of playing feels laughable haha!
I saw AB throw over 600' on hole 17 at DGLO 2019. He was the last to tee off on that hole after KJ, McBeth and Clemonade had ripped huge drives (and obviously we'd been seeing them all crush for almost a full round on a bomber course at that point as well) and it was still mind-boggling how far it went. It kind of doesn't make sense. And the sound. Couldn't really hear on 17 as spectators weren't close to the teepad but there were other holes where we were on the side of the fairway only like 70' from the teepad and the sound of their drives is just nuts. Something I've never really heard picked up well on any coverage. It would be cool if someone filmed some stuff where they got the sounds of the discs tearing through the air. But yeah. 600'+ is just crazy and hard to comprehend.
Mikey: I regress backward about 8 years whenever I try to throw a Buzzz and can't really help it. I have to go through a short process and evolve to the present again before I can throw it without pivoting off that middle finger first pad, you know, like when we first threw a Frisbee a thousand years ago in childhood and always ended up bleeding there if we didn't stop in time. To be honest, I stopped throwing a Buzzz completely because it was more relaxing that way.
It's probably too late, you moved on but no shame Mikey. Next time. There will be a next time just don't go crazy like the first time. Things break harder the older you get. Keep that right knee happy.
i would have expected more than zero 360 run-ups; i know AB has one, but not sure about anyone else (they have to, right? they throw frisbees for their job!)
Throwing from a tee pad on top of a ski hill is one thing. Where the basket is on the bottom of a hill. Adjustment and adaptation is implicit. Slight downhill is elusive to me. Throwing distance slightly downhill are my worst. The left line of OB (we play it as rough, not OB) . It's not a straight line. It angles inward directly proportional to the distance of your drive and the fade of your disc
Mikey, 2 things to take away from this, just from looking at your form at 14:11 1) You aren't rounding in any of these examples. (horizontal shoulder collapse) 2) You are still shrugging the throwing shoulder to some extent, with the elbow down a touch. (vertical shoulder collapse) That said, the first thing is fixed. You don't show an acute angle on any of these throws, or the ones at 13:00 from the distance competition. At the most acute angle (upper arm to shoulder) you are right at 90 degrees. I don't think that's a problem. You really only have to keep working on the second item, but you have it much improved in your later footage. This is such a hard issue to fix, so for you to make so much progress on this is stellar! I have to deal with both types of shoulder collapse myself, so I'm very familiar with these two problem areas, though I just fixed the rounding problem. I have the same issue where my body reverts to old form on a dime, so I completely empathize with you here. The only solution is more reps and to make the body comfortable with the new form, to where you revert to it when stressed, distracted, or tired. Best of luck to you in your next distance comp! 😁
@@chrisgreene8152 Essentially the upper arm either a) becomes too loose, or b) is used too aggressively. With the former, the arm is basically flapping around. With the later, usually people reach back too quickly. Both can create an acute angle (less than 90 degrees) between the upper arm and shoulder. That's for rounding. Horizontal shoulder collapse. With vertical shoulder collapse, a) the elbow drops down and is usually pointing downward. This is due to the upper arm being externally rotated at the shoulder. Think of arm wrestling. The starting position (where the arm is pointing up) is externally rotated. The finished position, where you bring the hand down, internally rotates your arm. The second aspect of this issue doesn't always occur, but it's b) shoulder shrugging. Often the shoulder comes up as a result of the external forces (like the arm movement that causes a swoop), but sometimes it's a direct act of shrugging by the thrower. You can have the elbow drop without the shrug, but it's super easy for the shoulder to come up in that case. Basically the key to prevent rounding (horizontal collapse) is to have a more active arm, but it needs to be a more conscious effort to not let it race ahead while reaching back. The key to prevent the elbow drop (and possible shrugging) is to keep the arm internally rotated throughout the swing. This is harder to do, than actually say. But you want to keep the shoulder down (depressed) and out (protracted) during the swing.
The thing that stood out to me the most (other than the monstrosity that is Albert Tamm) is Randon not collapsing his elbow like everyone else. Almost completely stiff elbow throughout with just a minor kink from the start. What does that even mean?
I'll say it. Why? WHY at a world's distance competition isn't there concrete? Ok, Grass... Fine but why isn't it flat at least. Is that why none of the braces make sense to me? I'm asking this respectfully mind you. Walking up on a downslope? My right knee woud be like... Hope you know what you're doing Jon.
To be noted: most of them are throwing toward 10 o’clock and letting it flex all the way over to the right side of the field. So they are walking up almost 45° diagonal of where they might be normally on a tee pad.
I just watched every throw in this video frame by frame, and with very few exceptions, I noticed the majority of pros have their hand ABOVE their elbow at some point in their reach-back/pull through until the power pocket (sometimes even in the power pocket) and then when moving to the "hit" the hand drops below the elbow. Tell me I'm not crazy!? Also - if so many pros do it, why is it so "forbidden" from a bio-mechanical point of view? Is it possible that - bio-mechanically - the way our muscles/bones are structured that this is optimal for power generation up to a point? - and therefore shouldn't be discouraged?
@@OverthrowDiscGolf hmm, so, there is a “if it works, it works” clause/caveat… and if I understand correctly, your advice is something like, it doesn’t matter what you do in the reach back, so long as you get to “here” at the hit, BUT this is the easiest way to get to the right spot/position for the “hit” and avoid problems like nose up, etc.?
@@djksan1 right. There’s always a “if it works, it works” clause. But that doesn’t negate best practices. Add to that the fact that there is almost invariably a swoop with big hyzer planes and I’m not surprised to see it here. The elevation change here (severely downhill) made it so players had to put more hyzer than usually to avoid turfing it.
One thing to think about is sometimes the "rules" get broken by pros, and not just in distance competitions. But most of the time these pros correct by the time the disc is in the power pocket. When you compare from the power pocket to release of the disc, there's not as much difference. But stuff they do preceding the power pocket will vary more. And from the peak of the backswing, even more backwards in time. 🙂
@@OverthrowDiscGolf curious, do you have an existing video as to why there is more “swoop” with hyzer throws? My simplistic understanding was that hyzer was created largely by torso lean, so I’m keen to know what you mean about correlation of swoop with hyzer.
How could you guys not include the 653 foot forehand tossed by my homie Blake Whitehead? That’s just insulting. Longest forehand I’ve ever heard of, outthrows Gannon, GG, and many others with a forehand but doesn’t make it into this video? Pshhh
@@OverthrowDiscGolfsorry to come at you a bit hot I’ll direct him to the video/channel/comment see if he’d have any interest in doing some video with y’all. He deserves to have his name out there a bit more he’s doing special things with that arm.
@@lankstadiscs I followed his card first round at Ivy and was glad I did. He wasn’t throwing the forehand how he wanted but it was still impressive. I was surprised at how serviceable his backhand was considering how elite his forehand is.

I wish, for distance competitions, it would become standard to include the disc and it's weight in the stats.
Editing and production looking REAL solid!
Insane how closed carter's shoulders are throughout the swing. He gets so deep into the pocket so early. Reminds me of Wiggins form

👊Mikey. Digging the style of Calvin Lonquist, crisp and clean. Sweet comp, thanks for posting.
Sick vid fellas! But Blake Whitehead was the most insane part of that competition. Top 5 and over 650 ft. with a forehand is bananas.
For sure. I followed his card one round. He didn’t play well but it was obvious he bombs.
