Dang, you people always put disc golf into such easy to understand lessons. I can't conceive how you always teach a lesson better then the 100 other lesson videos out there, but it makes more sense the ways you put it. Thank you so much, really always looking for that extra edge in my game, your info is CLEARLY helping. Please keep up the great work.
I wish I would have seen these videos about 10 years ago. What a tremendous resource! Next, can you do a video on "How to not over-think every disc golf shot?" LOL. I'll be looking at my bag for five minutes now trying to remember all the science to pick the right disc! Seriously tho, you guys rock. Thanks for this.
Love the "thought through" way of explaining things. Could you consider a video on recogising the changes with a developing arm? Same disc different flight and therefore different applications.
Always excited to see a new Best Disc Golf Discs video! Keep up the great work guys, these videos are some of the most informative disc golf videos on TH-cam!
Excellent video! Logical presentation with understandable graphics and you can quote data source. I always chose higher weight to boost, but I now have reason to chose lighter discs for backhand drivers. Mucho thanks!
This channel is so good, and has helped my understanding of this amazing sport tremendously. There is just something about he way the information is presented and broken down that just clicks with me personally. My only complaint is they are just to short!! Thanks for the awesome content!
Thanks MTG Guitfeeder! We do try to keep them under 6 minutes to make sure we stay tightly focused on the main topic. It's REALLY easy have a video unintentionally stretch to +20 minutes by going off on several 3-4 minute long tangents!
So I purchased the innova beginner 3 disc set.(just getting I to this and really enjoy it) I prefer to throw forehand on long drives. The fairway driver is 149 gram and it always flips completely over, always goes straight and lands just right at 200' what am I possibly doing wrong? Thanks to anyone with suggestions.
Best Disc Golf Discs That makes sense. Years ago I read that turning over FH shots is a result of a poor release and that selecting wide rimmed overstable discs masks flaws in technique and release. I appreciate the content. It helps simplify my thoughts during my practice.
Chris Jackson it's true he doesn't mention that another option to correct OAT (wobble) would be simply to work on cleaning up the release. Otherwise this video is incredibly helpful!
Hey everyone, I need help! My forehand game is less than weak. I’ve been playing for about 3 years now. I live in northern MI so I only get to play a few months a year. I’m 6’7 and can throw a RHBH a mile. No issue with my driving. But this damn frustrating forehand has me looking bad...I’m talking max distance of 150-170ft. I’ve watched so many videos on technique and whatnot. I’ve thrown SO many forearm shots practicing over the years. It’s what I work the most on. You’d never guess I’ve ever threw a forearm if you saw me throw. Any tips or techniques I could try? I’m at my wits end guys.. thanks for any feedback
Sorry if that wasn't clear! It wasn't calculated with a specific disc, it was the mean average from many different players using their own preferred discs. As to variability (like your personal data), individual results varied significantly two or three standard deviations from the mean, but the distribution of values was a pretty normal bell curve.
+Erin Hemmings The RPM data had to be consolidated/extrapolated from a few different sources using different methods to capture/count rotations (not Pozzy, as you said -- his study did not include spin).
Terrific video as always, except that 95% of the world do not understand deprecated and ancient forms of measurement. 1:53 - 40 to 70 mph is 75 to 112 km/h. 1 gram = 70 centimetres of extra distance. 20 grams equates to 14+ metres of distance. 2:38 - 57 mph = 91 km/h, and 62 mph = 100 km/h
the problem with this video is that it is teaching you to correct your bad forehand form by throwing higher speed and more OS stuff rather than learning to release the disc cleanly. that's a major nope in disc golf
Oh wow! I hope that no one thinks our videos are intended to replace practice, or mask mechanics problems! Our goal is always simply to explain which discs provide the best performance, and why. Think of this one more as answering "Which discs should I use in competitive play, when I want to win?"
@@Bestdiscgolfdiscs Do you think it is possible to throw a disc 300' with the same speed and spin both forehand and backhand? I can't tell if you are saying forehand has less spin than backhand or if it is just most people since they put OAT on the forehand. Like when Eagle McMahon throws a forehand it doesn't look like there is any OAT. Looks like he gets a clean release so I'd be interested to see the spin speed ratio on his forehand compared to backhand for the same distance and same disc.
I'm not sure I believe this because I've seen a video where they thrown heavy discs and light discs and the light discs came out of the hand at a faster speed but did not go as far as the heavy discs
We detailed most of the physics in this video in our previous video on disc weight here: th-cam.com/video/CvpdTf_FjjM/w-d-xo.html Also, the supporting website page has links to the data points and calculations on weight vs. velocity here: www.bestdiscgolfdiscs.com/choose-driver-weight/ Hope that helps!
Wow. Every single video on this channel has taught me at least one thing I didn't know about discs.
Jake Rexar I second that!

Thanks Xander! That's our goal!
Best Disc Golf Discs hey what is the distance world record for forehand?
624 feet, thrown in 2014 by Jason Cortella with a Legacy Icon Cannon
I followed your advice-- I still use a Valkyrie for backhand, but switched to Firebird for forehand. Makes a big difference, thanks.
Glad to help!
These videos are very helpful! Thank you for taking the time and doing all the hard work!
Thanks Tyler! Positive comments and "Thumbs Up's" above are what keep us motivated to make more!

the first immediate line you see is your best shot, don't change discs after you pull your first immediate choice from your bag lol
Best video series around.
I am a RHFH and I love me some overstabilitty. I love putting hot fire too.
Love the "thought through" way of explaining things. Could you consider a video on recogising the changes with a developing arm? Same disc different flight and therefore different applications.

It's great to see you guys posting again. Can't wait to see what's in store.
As a relatively new player, I have to sincerely thank you guys for your videos. I know it's the common cry of everyone, but... more, please?
Yes, we are working on a video specifically focused on putters. Stay tuned!!
Solid insights to help my forehand drives! Saved me from wasting time on a lighter driver.
Dude your videos are so good. Wish there were more.
This makes so much sense now. Thanks for posting.
Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou. Nice to listen to someone that knows what they are talking about!
I can nothing other than like and subscribe. These videos are so helpful
Wow this was very helpful! Been working on my forehand, and this explains it beautifully!
Love the videos dude, you play with a calculator in your bag?
WOW, I like your stile of explaining Disc Golf, it's more science based then any other channel. More please.
Great info, as always. Thanks for continuing to put these out, always look forward to watching when I see one show up.

Best Disc Golf Discs yea I meant no disrespect! The shorter video just shows how efficiently you cover the topic!
Great video and great explanation for any level of disc golfer!! Thank you for your hard work and effort putting this video together
Learned something today. Thanks! Now to go play.
Exceptional explanation and video.
Would love to see forehand technique explained, particularly driving flicks.
great video. I would love a similar one on overhand disc selection, as it's the shot where I have the least confidence in its disc selection.
We are working on a video for Overhand shots now -- coming soon!
Excellent video. Nice job breaking it down. Good info here.
keep doing these great videos!
I hope you make more videos like these maybe do disc reviews

Correcting throwing motion flaws to achieve a cleaner release would go a long way towards reducing OAT in FH shots, would it not?
Yes, absolutely! Our intention is to teach players about the science of the sport, but our advice is never intended to replace practice!

WHAT ARE SOME GOOD DISCS FOR FOREHAND THROWS WITH BEGINNERS? any feedback will be greatly appreciated.
with what disc was the 57 mph = 300 feet of distance calculated with? because I know I barely throw that hard, but I still get my wraiths to 350
Sorry if that wasn't clear! It wasn't calculated with a specific disc, it was the mean average from many different players using their own preferred discs. As to variability (like your personal data), individual results varied significantly two or three standard deviations from the mean, but the distribution of values was a pretty normal bell curve.
Bro make more videos!
Great video! I am familiar with the Pozzy article on disc speed, and I don't believe it includes data on ram's. Do you mind sourcing your spin data?
+Erin Hemmings The RPM data had to be consolidated/extrapolated from a few different sources using different methods to capture/count rotations (not Pozzy, as you said -- his study did not include spin).
Where did you get the "data" about forehand release velocity and rpm ?
Mikko, the primary data source was a 2000 study conducted by Theo Pozzy at a distance driving contest.
Best Disc Golf Discs, Do you know, how he did it?
Terrific video as always, except that 95% of the world do not understand deprecated and ancient forms of measurement.
1:53 - 40 to 70 mph is 75 to 112 km/h.
1 gram = 70 centimetres of extra distance.
20 grams equates to 14+ metres of distance.
