“Smooth is far and far is cool.”
Done. Saving that one. Best advice I’ve heard yet.
"Layups are for basketball"
@@danlewis1885 Too Soon
Lol I love it 😂
"I also got a roller due to the fact that I didn't throw well.". So relatable (and honest).
😂
Jonathan is a "real crack up" is what we would say down here in New Zealand 😆
I've played disc golf for 15 years, and watched on TH-cam for probably close to 10. This is the best content that has ever been produced. Keep up the good work Jonathan, I always have a good laugh when I watch these videos!
I myself could not agree with this comment any more, these videos are awesome, and freakin hilarious .. my fav .. the PARTY POOPER!
"It's overstable. I can see that with my eyes" - Jonathan
hands down the best videos by any Disc Golf company... Funny, informative, and makes me want to buy all their discs
Jonathan is hilarious
Thank you, Michael ❤
He should get a comission on every Latitude disc I buy because these videos are the reason I'm only buying Latitude.
"with light weight discs...they feel lighter" - Jonathan
Haha not my brightest moment 😂
@@Latitude64 you are of the best things to happen to disc golf social media. I love you man. So funny!!
Thank you so much ❤
Yes this is by far the best disc golf content.
It is good and you are so funny at the same time.
Keep it up Jonathan
@@Latitude64 I have a great content idea for you / Latitude64 channel in general that would fit you guys for sure. There is a pool billiard channel called Kamui Brand and on there (and on his personal channel) Rollie Williams(average player) tries to recreate and analyze shots that pros made in a game until he makes it. Also he visits some pros and seeks for more tips and last year he was going to attend a pro tour competition with coaching from top professionals(and it got cancelled cause of.... covid-19 ofc.).
I legitimately have laughed out loud in a very quiet bank.
This was fantastic. “Smooth is far, far is cool.”
I am curious if this was a reference to a famous quote by a racing driver "Slow is smooth and smooth is fast".
Fascinating how well this video illustrated the reason people recommend staying away from fast discs until they are ready for them. So many shots fading early in the flight. Also in the end the slowest disc ultimately seemed to fly the straightest and farthest for you kinda further demonstrating the point. And lastly please make a lot more Opto Havocs because they are fantastic.
I agree. Was a bit of an eye opener this one :).
Yeah, the only time I use faster discs is in a headwind, down a hill on a fast turning fairway, or if I'm lucky enough to find a fast overstable and light disc(like 15 to 20 grams lighter than max weight)...which is a difficult find but light is easier to flatten out the overstable flight which was my longest flying disc...until I lost it, now someone else, I'm sure, is enjoying my favorite disc...with my name on it. 🤨
yeah, after I swallowed my pride, I started using slower discs and now I can get more reliable left to right movement for weaseling around trees down the fairway. the fastest disc in my bag is a 12, but I usually hover around 9s. they're a lot more consistent. I'd rather have a 20 foot spread at 275 than a 50 foot spread at 350
Really liked the last picture, representing the bag.. really good layout :)
Thats all Johannes work :). And I agree
@@Latitude64 Then give Johannes a high five from me! Great work guys
Your throw on 5:00 was perfect! That was a nice turnover and fade :D
Yeah very nice, can't wait to see you bomb it more in the future!
Your throwing has gotten so much better! great vid!
Thank you :)
Easily the best disc golf tutorials on TH-cam… I took a long break from disc golf and getting back into it I’ve found these videos to be immensely helpful. Thank You to everyone involved in these videos.
I totally agree Jonathan, I can't seem to get a feel for most of the lightweight discs. I have a Jade that I like, but it's very moody because even a slight wind puts it to a roller angle.
I'm so excited for whatever your next series is! We may be done with your bag, but I hope we aren't done with you Jonathan!
Like most beginners I started with too many distance drivers and not enough midranges and fairway drivers. This has now been corrected and the "fastest" disc in my bag is the Sapphire at 10, followed by 4 speed 9 discs, a Diamond at speed 8, two speed 7, two speed 6, four speed 5, a speed 4, and three putters. Thanks for all of the great content, it has been fun following your progress since it has been very similar to mine.
I think if you can throw a Sapphire you should be able to handle a Bolt and get a little more distance out of it, the Bolt is my farthest flyer. It's a little less stable than the Sapphire even though they have the same Turn rating, I can get it to hyzer flip easier.
@@danlewis1885 I am not 100% sure I would say I can "handle" the sapphire. But I will throw it sometimes. It is in the bag because I was able to score my personal best on our local course during our Trilogy Challenge. And it few well enough. I am still not yet getting over 300' consistently with anything even though I have had a couple hit 350'. I am in the middle of a start over with my form and am focusing on hip engagement with a stand still and am getting throws at least as far as I was getting with a full runup but most are probably farther. I will look into a bolt though, sounds like it might be right up my ally.
We love it!!! Now that your bag is complete you must…. MUST Do an in the bag video!!!
The ballista pro was the first disc I ever bought, and it’s taken me one year to learn how to use it. Now it’s my most irreplaceable driver.
I am new to Disc Golf, going out my second 9holes today.
I have watch so many clips from you last weeks so i am really exited to go out and try all this tips! Tack så mycket!
Kul! Hoppas rundan gick fint :)
I discovered the magic that is discgolf about nine months ago. It's been a pleasure discovering this sport alongside you Jonathan.
This series has been super helpfull and also very enjoyable! Shame I didn't get a grace while they were available :)
Keep up the good work!
Mvh från Småland!
I've bagged trespasses, destinys and swords as my longest distance drivers for a few years but the grace's glide never ceases to amaze me. Best driver to hit the market in years.
agreed. It instantly (literally first day I used it) became my number one disc in my bag.
Jag har sett ett flertal videos utav er på latitude 64, och jag gillar verkligen innehållet. MEN jag måste få påpeka att det är ni med era personligheter som gör dem riktigt bra och underhållande.
Keep up The good work guys😀🤘😎
Tack så mycket ❤🤘
These video series you've been doing have been amazing to help my game so thank you so much Jonathan and thank you to the pros that have guided you through your journey and me as well
Love this series.
I would like you to do a video about throwing uphill and downhill shots and which disks to use. I guess you have a lot of ski slopes in Skelleftea.
Loving the Grace! Great controllable distance.
My elbow hurts just watching that many DD shots in a row.😆
As always, great content. Can't wait to see you get the whole bag together and play.
As a new disc golfer, I really appreciate these videos. Humble, funny, and relatable. Keep making great content!
Wow... Your bag has some remarkable similarities to my own...I have been playing for over 10 years but I am just a bit older... yeah... definitely older and my arm speed can't handle the fast stuff... My distance drivers are OS-Grace Straight- Sapphire and US- different lighter sapphire. Oh... and I 1000% agree with your assessment on Royal plastic. If I could handle the Rive, I would bag it... but I LOVE the trust and grace. Great stuff as always!
DUDE ... you're all set now, aweosme!! Pretty damn cool to see you come as far as you have. Can't wait to meet up one day and play a round.. CHEERS TO YOU JONATHAN AND JOHANNES!!!
I bag the Grace(2), the Bolt cycles in and out, depending on the course/day, bag a couple of explorer's, the Saint, the Trust(2), Claymore, and Fuse and the pure cycles in and out as a throwing disc. So 8 discs in common with Jonathan. Counting the ones that go in and out at least. Distance drivers are so fun to throw, but hard to throw well. Hopefully you can get more time to practice and get better. Maybe take your kids when they're old enough.
Would love a new bag basics to see how Jonathan throws them now. You guys are so entertaining!
14 SPEED OR BUST!! BALLISTA PRO ALL THE WAY!
Just kidding, I am reverting back to fairway drivers after having only drivers and pretty much putters in my bag!
Best series on the internet!
Thank you, William :)
Fantastic video! This whole series has been entertaining and informative. Thank you Jonathan and Johannes!
The metal interludes were some kickin' rifts. As a metal head I must know where you got those jams!
🤘
I know right :). It was from envato elements. Just a song called like "metal riff". Wish it was a "real" song tho.
Just want to say how amazing the Sapphire is for me! I started discgolfing a few months ago and got a sapphire quite early. Whenever I broke my own distance records, it was with a Sapphire. Right now I'm starting to get a full s-curve with it, while not needing to put too much force into it, which also allows me to be quite acurate. I've grown out of the Diamond quite quickly, but I feel like the Sapphire will be my friend for long time.
Yes, the Diamond is significantly more understable than the Sapphire even though there's only a difference of 1 in the turn ratings. I just picked up the "heavy" Sapphire and get a nice S-curve where the diamond now just dumps right for me on just about any anhyzer angle.
I loved this series - Nice bag!
Very helpful to think about having this matrix for choosing my discs as a beginner.
"Smooth is far and far is cool". Love it \m/
I'm loving the grace and rive! Can't wait to try out the faith!!!
Just bought a Ballista and love it!
"Little bit on the low side" blowed my mind :D :D
😂😂
This is basically the only channel I click the thumbs up for every video.
This is such great content, the awkwardness I feel as a beginner is portrayed so well here!
The Havoc is perfect BRAND NEW for me. Unfortunately they beat in really fast. BUT. For someone who throws 95-110m it will give you some extra distance pretty controllably.
Yup, I bought my friend's opto-x havoc and it's my most controllable understable distance driver so it's an amazing disc especially for me who throws as a max distance around 110m, and the rive is an amazing distance driver if you throw 360.
I like this series of videos, I just wish there was a way to test the discs like you are doing before I purchase. Friends do share, but not quite the same.
Yeah I understand. We do have a flight chart that can give you some idea as to how a disc will fly :)
www.latitude64.se/flight-charts/
@@Latitude64 I always look at the flight charts, which are helpful when they show the comparison path for beginners advanced/pro.
I've been waiting for the last two videos to see your reaction to the Sapphire, which has been the best disc for me as a beginner, and I absolutely love it... and you forgot to put it in the main cut. 😂
The monk outfit had me rolling, so hilarious. What other costumes can you guys put jonathan in 😂😂 it makes great funny videos
Love the content and the humor! I have mostly discraft and a little bit of innova in my bag, but I'm pretty tempted to try out some of your discs. I'm thinking maybe a bolt if I can find one in stock somewhere. Any other recommendations? I started playing about 18 months ago and I think I'm at a similar throwing level as you...
Can't wait to see you use the newly completed bag out on a course. Also best of luck in your first tournament; I heard you mention that a few videos ago.
Thank you :)
This man should be throwing an Explorer! My fave lat 64 disc by far.
I do :)
OMG, love your guys content, keep making great videos for the world to see! Thank you! Johannes & Jonathan. Looking forward to your next video:)
So, with your bag complete, does this mean weekly golf with your new bag? Also, this was a fun series. Looking forward to more from you guys. You work well together.
Haha I wish. But I will definitely play as often as I can :)
Great job man!!! Like the set up of your bag at the end. Can’t wait to see you adapt also Forehand 👍👍
Jonathan, your drives look like mine, everything even understanble looks overstable. But you make me motivated to go out and keep practicing and getting better. Good luck with your full bag at your first tournament. Can not wait to see your results!!!
Most important thing when throwing drivers is nose angle. If disc is nose up it's really hard to overturn even under stable disc but when nose angle is correct disc will turn easier assuming you get enough speed for it.
That video is particularly good! Great content!
Cheers :)
Loving this content! Currently finding out my favorite distance drivers as well right now.
Enjoying my new grace as well . Good luck with your tournament Jonathan. I believe you will make us all proud. Try to have fun. Smooth is far but straight and safe in the fairway is also far compared to not lol
out of my two distance drivers is the saphire my favorite. out of my fairway drivers is the disc mania magician my favorite. out of my mid ranges is the westside tursas my favorite and out of my putters is the keystone my favorite.
but when looking at distance drivers do I like my saphire because it is easy to throw well and I have enough arm speed to make it fly fairly well for 90-100 meters every time
1:46 "Smooth is far and far is cool" sounded like Something that you could hear at 04.00 am television commercials :D
(just how you said that)
Jonathan, stick with the Sapphire for now and those wonderful fairways. You will get just as far and probably more accurate :) But yeah I understand the lure of the distance driver. We all think we can throw them, then learn very quickly. We can't :)
I have seen a cuple off videos from innova about the whip shot or sling shot Can you guys make a video on tjat subject soon. Love your content😁
Yeah I think we will in the future. It´s in the to-do-list =)
Thanks for the great intro and outro music!
I noticed Jonathan has a very good hyzer flip, which is great for fairway and midrange, but currently he lacks the power to overthrow the distance drivers. I think throwing fully flat will prevent the far left and tombstone results. Great video!
He should be able to hyzer-flip the Bolt given his current distance.
I love my opto sapphire. Predictable path.
Love the videos, all very helpful!
I mostly bag fairway drivers in my bag I can push about 320/350feet (or just over 100m). I've always had an issue getting a solid grip on distance drivers (they always seem to slip out early.) I can't tell if its because they are slimmer in profile than other disc models. Or if maybe there is something wrong in my form/power grip.
Any thoughts? Anyone else having an issues like this?
I'm really excited to try out a Grace.
Love the content, love the game, please keep them coming! Can't wait to upgrade my bag with some Latitude64 disc!!😁
Love your videos and find them informative and very funny as well. I've learned a lot from them. I do have a question. I am 71 and started playing five years ago for the exercise. I have become a par golfer on shorter courses but longer courses I tend to be a bogey golfer. I am right handed and my right wrist is almost totally fused from an accident in my youth. I can still manage 125-140' per throw but since my wrist doesn't bend up, down or sideways my discs tend to run out of spin because I cannot snap the disc off my fingers . I throw backhanded because of this disability. Is there anything that would help me develop more spin? Or, am I relegated to being a mediocre golfer? Thanks
Hi Charlie,
Very difficult to give advice over the internet like this. Having a fused wrist is definitely a disadvantage. Unfortunately I do not have any magical tips for you to get more spin. My best tip is to try and incorporate as much of technique from this video (th-cam.com/video/NIlYGRahKvQ/w-d-xo.html) as possible and hopefully get some more power. Best of luck! / Johannes
@@Latitude64 I use the foregrip all the time already. I am working on my run-up technique on a daily basis as I just started to incorporate it after watching your videos. It does seem to add about 30' or so to my drives. Not a lot but I am a work in progress. Thanks for your answer, it is much appreciated.
I have a Sapphire and if you can throw it on a hyzer and get it to flip to flat it flies dead straight. Unfortunatly it's my only L64 disc but I want a c-line Fuse at some point if I could ever find one. An Explorer, Musket, Bolt, and River are on the radar but those can wait.
Sweet riffs in the end.
Sapphire now has a "heavy" 170+ Carat version like the Diamond. I'm playing Trilogy challenge next week and the heavy Sapphire is the Lat64 disc. I was guessing you would go Bolt and then either Havoc or Ballista for stable ... oh well. I bag the Bolt and Ballista and don't even bother with over-stable high speed as it just dumps to the left too quickly with my arm speed. I enjoyed this series, congrats on your bag, now go hit the course and STROKE THE BOARD!
I have not signed up for our challenge on the basis it is the heavy version. I just do not know enough of how it will work for a newbie compared to the light weight version.
Johannes: "Grace. This one's a speed 11."
Jonathan: "Meaning???"
😂😂😂
"the ligament here in my arm" - points at muscle 😂
Time for an in the bag video. All the cool kids are doing it
Think I need to try a Grace out. I love my Discmania Enigma (that the lovely people at Latitude 64 produce) and wonder how they compare. Great video as always Jonathan and Johannes.
I got my furthest throw with the Enigma! Really nice disc
Soon I'll be able to open up my own discgolf store. The discs are getting to pretty to pass up...
When can we expect the royal series (not first run) to be released? Didn't have the chance to get. Grace before it was sold out everywhere :)
Can say I´m afraid. We havent set a date for it yet :) /jonathan
Yeah Jonathan, I have my bag too! So why do I keep buying more discs???
Discs equals happiness :). No but it is fun to try out discs for sure.
I love my Royal. 👌🏻 thanks Jonathan. Also.. Something about that Ballista Pro. It’s my absolute crushing device when I throw it forehand. 💪🏻. Why no forehand throws?
Jonathan needs to do a full ITB video showcasing all of his discs!
The Havoc was the first disc I broke 400 ft with, it will always be special to me!
Så jäkla bra o oxå som vanligt förklarat på ett underbart sätt👍👍😂. Har fortfarande lite bekymmer med vilka som är över o understabila men har nog mer med min ballerina teknik att göra😂
Congrats on the bag I love the nine disc approach cuz realistically I have over 70 discs but I only throw maybe 10. However can I recommend for your first tournament, cuz it's coming up is the trilogy tournament, great for growing the sport and also seeing how your doing against other beginners. I'm excited to throw the sapphire, cuz the numbers scare me for the understandability but everytime I see it fly it fly straight.
Don't let the -2 on the Sapphire scare you, it's closer to a 0 than a -2. Much like the SPZ3 (Superhero) they put out for last year's Trilogy.
Jonathan, can you go over what Johannes has in his bag to compare. All I know is he has a Fuse, River, Explorer, and Pioneer.
It would be nice to see his full disc golf bag.
Yeah we've been talking about making a sort of in the bag video. So it might come in the future :)
@@Latitude64 that would be awesome! I hope you do.
We need a video of warm ups pls!!!! Including regular game warm up and tournaments warm ups!!!
Its in the making:)
I may need to pick up a few of these discs. But most importantly, where can I get one of those monk outfits?
Haha they are all over the internetz :)
@@Latitude64 well I guess I know what I'm wearing to the course next time!
@@holthogan5562 😂😂
You have slight air bounce on throws which means either you reach too high and arm dips lower on power pocket and then up again or disc are slight nose up angle when release from hand.
Hey just watched this one again, curious to know some of the weights of the discs you were throwing.
Hey :). They where all full weight. /Jonathan
@@Latitude64cool, thanks... you might consider trying some of the lighter weights with each disc, I've been diving down this rabbit hole and finding some good results lately, I can finally hyzer-flip now lol oh and BTW I love the pyramid of fun, would make a great t-shirt lol, can't wait til the next one to see you in the tournament.
I like your content dude.... keep it up!👍
Love the videos. Just wondering, are you standing still during all the drives or do you have a run-up? As a beginner I still don’t have a run-up but it gives me hope if you are getting that kind of distance.
I do run-up. But honestly maybe I should stick with stand still more often. Just for me it feels like somethings missing in the throw then. /Jonathan
I’m nine months into this amazing game. I find a smooth “walk up” works well for me, but played with a nineteen year old old kid who had the most aggressive run up and throw I’d ever seen! He was throwing his putter over 300’. At one point in the round he said that he’d gladly give up distance if he could be more accurate. I told him he could easily do that by slowing things down and not trying to throw as hard as possible. Haven’t seen him since, but for an experiment, I made a couple more aggressive run ups and throws the next time I played, and I think I did get a little more distance, but for me it wasn’t worth the potential injury to my sixty year old shoulder. ENJOY!!
Hey Jonathan 👋 9:04 is this still what your bag looks like?
Yes and no. I will be making a in the bag video pretty soon =)
More drone footage please, it’s hard to see where your shots end up. Great choice of discs, I carry 3 rives 😍
I love the Jade as a beginner driver,you should give that one a try!!🤘
It is a lighter weight disc that feels...lighter!!
absolutely :) I love it. Mine is the air Jade so even lighter. But my husband also enjoys throwing it. The only disc I can throw with my noodle arm where I get the nice full flex out of it.
What drone are you using? I'm looking into using one to analyze my practice :)
Is there a way to buy the stiletto? from sweden btw, love the content!
So... Is there a tournament in your future? If so I'm gonna need to see the footage
Yes and it will be a video in a not so distant future :)
Really liked the video Guys! 👍 Keep ut the good work. Latitude 64 4life👍😎
My fav Latitude distance driver is Knight, sad you didnt test it!
Towards the end you mention how your arm ligaments are sore. Can we get a pre and post disc-golf-body-health -routines video?
"Here we can see that Johannes is getting a roller with a flat release with a Bolt. I also got a roller due to the fact that I didn't throw well"
Made me lol
I love how "in the bag " disc golf podcast from foundation discs say if youre not pro dont be loyal to just one brand but how can you not be loyal to latitude64😂😂😂 you two make disc golf fun to learn and make me feel better about being a normal player who cant throw more than 200-205 feet (gps marker so give or take 10 to 30 feet depending on signal)
Great content. Please keep it coming.
