Everything in excess with a stack of 100+ discs behind you lmao 😂. Great video man. I agree with everything you laid out. I would add to play one disc rounds!
lol the irony and hypocrisy isn't lost on me! I couldn't even get the right words out when I was trying! I just love trying new discs... Thats also super solid advice! 1 disc rounds and putter only rounds are so helpful
Great points, and spot on. I'm still just over 6 months into starting DG, and I've realized everything you've pointed out here within the last 3 months. Watch, listen, learn. Thx for your channel.
To add to 5: don’t worry about being “good enough” to play in tournaments and events. I’d suggest talking to the TD to figure out the division you should play in, reading up on the rules, and most importantly have a good attitude during the event and you’ll be just fine even as a brand new player.
Tons of lessons have helped me the most. Uli's lessons were great. I wish I could have had lessons with him from the beginning to build the foundation. A lot of great players in Charlotte giving lessons. And also the glorious Latitude 64 Jade has been a great help.
Just going to throw this out there...... because a person is considered a "professional" doesn't automatically make them a great teacher/coach. Actually what I've seen is a lot of times a professional player has a hard time relating what he or she does to the masses and if it's the local Pro you're going to get a lot of that "hey will look at me, hey watch me, hey I know you paid for this hour but I want you to watch me throw far, I throw far right?" So when looking for a disc golf coach find someone who is giving of their self he pays attention to the players needs and basically is professional people person. Just a little tip from Coach Monte.
Super solid advice there. Finding the RIGHT coach is the most important thing hands down. The coaching arena is for sure underdeveloped in the disc golf game. Just because you're a great player doesn't automatically make you a great coach
Great video. I started playing around the same time. For me it's better to have multiples of a few molds than lots of different molds. Multiples are great for consistency in practice. You can really focus on form.
New Subscriber - I started playing in June of 2021 after taking up traditional "ball" golf and practicing at the local course outside of town ( could not hit off that darn tee ) I was watching video's about how to hit off the tee and found disc golf and started throwing nearly everyday in a field. I am 60 years old now, and have played one tournament (Doubles) and want to play a lot more. Spring / Summer / Fall I practice nearly everyday for an hour or two before work. I would encourage every dis golfer to go to a football field and stand on one sideline, and practice throwing between the 20-25 yard lines ( just for example) after doing this for about a month or two, I went and played a round and I hit all but maybe 3 fairways and it felt great!! I have a friend that does not "practice" at all, he thinks practice is going out to play a round or two on only one particular course? Lol's I do a variety of "drills"...and they have really improved my game quickly. I can only throw about 200-225 when my form/release/ etc...is clicking, but I can throw "accurately"...which is really the key in this sport, learning speed control, touch, scrambling, and putting.
As a beginner who just recently _almost_ got a decent backhand.. almost.. I highly recommend spending the money for a solid coach. I was skeptical however last year I spent all summer watching youtube, going out throwing until my arm was in pain and filming myself.. still didn't really understand much. I bought a coaching hour for me and my girlfriend and thought, "well, it's mainly for her, I'll just tag along".. was taught in one hour what I couldn't do in one year. And this is from someone who's very technical, have an easy time learning stuff etc. TH-cam is great and some can learn from it by themselves but there are things that can be easier taught person to person. Also, just like he said in the video, don't stand and practice max distance every day. A lot can be said :D
Great talk!! Our town had no pros, we all had to figure it out on our own!! Im the guy who watches youtube! I'm older so the power is not as easy for me! Putting is where I can stay close! 😉
Love that! There's something special to learning something on your own and being more "self-made". It definitely takes longer but it is satisfying when it clicks!
I played a wooded course several times with my full bag, and was frustrated with my lack of accuracy - switching from disc to disc. I tried a round with only my putter and a slightly overstable fairway driver... and immediately knocked 7 strokes off my round. So there is definitely wisdom in getting good with a few discs then expanding from there. Even the pros only have a few types of discs. Their bags are full because they have several of the same disc that are all beaten in differently.
wow 7 strokes that's a crazy improvement! I definitely want to try a putter only round at my local course soon. Im curious to see how I would shoot. I think it would force me to play more conservatively because I know I can't put a putter 350-390' where a lot of the holes are. But that would probably minimize my mistakes too
@@AndrewWoodDiscGolf Thanks!! A big part of it is knowing that you can't throw it as far, so you play a hole for par, rather than to get a birdie. I started aiming for landing zones with easy upshots instead of aiming at the basket on every hole. Thanks for posting the videos!
ive played for almost a year. at first I threw 10+ speed drivers. Now my highest speed disc I throw is a 9. im trying to build up form before I start using distance drivers.
Wow, less than 2 years in and making advice/commentary on tha Tube about about DG. I've seen it all now! Hahahaha. Glad you found the game! Welcome! Look forward to more of your videos.
@@AndrewWoodDiscGolf oh no worries man. It is a really good video. Your suggestions are spot on!!! Just had to chuckle, a friend found DG at the same time you did. I was 46, him 29. (Insert his 20 new discs/stoked to chat with me about the pros/TH-cam) The day he finally beat me in a round, I was so happy for him. He was humble like you are now, and glady took advice from and old guy like me.
Love that! I feel down the rabbit hole quick man. I think finding so great in the midst of such a hard season of life (2020) added to the over enthusiasm lol. Appreciate guys like you being willing to share the game and pass down the tradition to the next generation of players!
@@AndrewWoodDiscGolf So true, I saw it happening. I saw so many other folks be so helpful and welcoming. I saw families sharing discs and cheering each other on. I can feel the love of the inherent joy in our sport. I hope it continues. If I see some kids with no mids or putters, I'll see if there in the parking lot later, and give them one. The growth of the sport is great for everyone!
Great advice. I’ve been playing for about three months now and i’m probably guilty of all the things that you’ve called out. It’s interesting to me on another note how many Disc golf TH-camrs have guitars hanging in there backgrounds it’s pretty funny actually I’m a guitar player too. Keep up the great content. Thank you.
You should play with widening your DOF when you do your "studio shots". Your focus point seems off, if you give your self more room in the DOF you can negate some of this.
yea 100%, I noticed that when I was editing as well. For sure something I need to get right in the future. Thanks for the tip on DOF, I wouldn't have thought of that!
Solid advice.. Super curious on how the distance is going for you ? I"m personally baffled by the whole distance thing. Watching guys throw 450 with what looks to be little to no effort. At this point I agree with your points in this video that you can still beat guys that throw further than you , but it's more than that for me now. I want to crack this grand mystery on how the hell they're doing it. It's not about even improving my game anymore it's about figuring out how people are doing this. 450 is a super long ways. When I measure out 450 in the field I"m like there is now way I"m ever throwing that. Stuck at 330 on a good day.
Dude I totally resonate with that! Mystery feels like a great word for it. My progress is coming but slower than I hoped or expected. Im stuck around 390 at the moment. It really does feel like there's some secret to it that I just can't quite grasp yet. But I'm going to be seeking some professional help soon to try and figure it out! That video will hopefully be coming the in the next couple weeks. Thanks for following the journey man!
There definitely are "secrets" to throwing that far, a lot of it is in the timing! There is a "hit point" that you need to reach your max acceleration at. Sling the disc, don't just throw it. It's not about reaching back farther or swinging harder, it's more about maintaining proper angles and actually getting the timing right. Ezra Aderhold has one of the cleanest swings imo and he has a few videos about maintaining angles that I believe everyone should watch.
Thats awesome definitely agree with you! The timing is so important and has been for me so hard to master. But then again I guess if it was easy we everyone would be pros lol
@@AndrewWoodDiscGolf Exactly! You can know what you want to work on and fix but then you step on the teepad and it all seems to go out the window lol. For most people the ability to really huck a disc is there you just need to find it. I sure wish it came easier too! 😊
Clearly from a physics standpoint it is a function of velocity at release, spin rate, attack angle, and nose angle. Being able to accelerate throughout the motion so the disc starts slow, gets faster, and then is moving forward super fast (i.e., around 80mph) at the release point is what is going on. When done right it looks effortless. But HOW to do it feels almost impossible to mere mortals like me! I am too old so I doubt I'll ever break even 60mph at release, so crushing isn't in the cards for me. But I'd sure like get consistent drives over 300'. Think about it-- pro pitchers can throw a baseball 100mph, but that's a very small percentage of people. Combination of physical talent and years of honing perfect form. Ditto for total disc crushers.
Those are all great pieces of advice. Honestly I wouldn't even recommend people getting any drivers until the can throw their putters and mid out to about 200ft straight and absolutely do not get a 10-12 speed driver until you can get your 6-9 speed stuff out past 350ft because you do not have the arm speed for those discs unless you are using them as a utility driver. I know this sounds crazy but that is the reality of the sport. You are better off to only throw putters and mids for most rounds, they will go farther and be more accurate
I think you're absolutely right. It seems like the higher speed drivers are really only made for the 350+ range, and most of us use them for the 300 range! I think its just a mental block thats hard to get past for a lot of people
@@AndrewWoodDiscGolf I think the biggest misconception for beginners is that the first number means the disc if faster, it is but it isn't that number really relates to how fast you have to throw it to make the rest of the numbers do what they are intended to do and if you don't throw it that fast the disc will have less glide, less turn and more fade but if you throw it faster it will have more glide and more turn and the fade wont kick in until it slows down. Most people don't have 12 speed arms right out the gate. They have to condition their arm and develop the form
thats a great distinction. The flight numbers can be so confusing at times, I wonder if they don't actually cause more problems than they solve. But I also don't have any better ideas lol
@@AndrewWoodDiscGolf there just needs to be more education on them so people understand what they actually mean. they are very useful when you have that figured out.
When playing, I drive average for my age...I focus more on my approach shots and putting. I do okay. The big bombers may go OB, but they are long. I'm in the same place in 2 as they are in one. If my approach shots are more accurate, I am even with them.
On certain courses the distance factor can for sure be to much to overcome, but generally speaking, keeping it in the lines, and having a great short game is worth it’s weight in gold!
I purchased a practice basket and set it up in my basement. I'm able to throw up to circle 1. I started in August of 21', but I've played ball golf for 30 years and the same holds true - putting is the most important skill to lower your scores. Remember, a 28 foot putt is the same score as a 515ft drive - ONE. Also, practice more than play. Playing many rounds will not help refine your game and does not offer repetition at important approach shots. Enjoy the coming summer people!
@@AndrewWoodDiscGolf This time a year ago I was up to 38 discs, the most I've ever had in my life. Over the course of 2021 and until now.... I now have well over 100 with all the mystery boxes I started ordering as well as just other random discs online hahaha.
Just about every top 20 pro has changed brands in the last 10 years and they've still been able to excel at the sport. So what does that tell you? It tells you that man maketh the disc... not disc maketh the man. So buying a crap load of plastic in the hopes you find the "silver bullet", is a waste of time. Like he said, start with understable and work up from there. A hyzer flip to flat or slightly anhyzer then back is a great shot and gives you more fairway to work with. Also, if you really want to get better... you need to play and practice at least 3 to 4 times a week. Do not expect to make a lot of progress just playing on the weekends because your body forgets what it learned the week before too quickly.
Good advice. Beginners should not throw discs above a 7 speed. They should not try and throw far, but throw correctly (proper form), distance will come in time, a lot of time. Become a good putter. You will lose more stroke's with bad putting over anything else. Putting form, look at Paul McBeth and copy. Practice with a plan. What are you trying to get better at? Practice your upshots for sure. When windy, make sure the wind doesn't hit the underside of your disc. Play relaxed and have fun. Why are trees??? My 2 cents
love it! great list of tips and advice for sure! Having a plan when trying to get better is so important, otherwise you're flying blind and probably wasting time. Gotta have fun! most important part hands down
I don't agree on that. You should also throw faster disc but not focus to them and not mainly try to get long distance with driver. But if you completely avoid drivers it takes much longer to learn throw them, why because driver is most vulnerable for nose angle than any else disc. In other words you don't became good runner by walking. Versatile training is keyword and how you train is what is best for you. Some people like to train in field some people want to throw rounds in the end what work for you is what you should aim not what some pro does or other people tell you to do.

The lower speed disc are easier to learn . Putters are the way to go .
I totally agree!

I've been playing 24 years and it still very much entertains me to walk into a pro shop and say, "I'm looking for the farthest flying disc". 🤣
