00:00 🤔 Staying on the balls of your feet in an athletic position is crucial for consistency and power in your throw. 01:08 💡 A controlled and slow run-up is better than rushing to the front of the teepad, as it helps maintain balance and control. 08:07 🔄 Timing-wise, your reach back should be at its maximum when your front foot touches the ground to ensure a consistent release point. 14:12 💪 Leading with your elbow, rather than just your arm, allows you to engage your hips and core for more power and consistency. 16:41 👀 Keeping your head and shoulder position neutral throughout the throw helps maintain a level swing plane and consistency. 18:47 🌟 Focus on pulling between your belly button and the bottom of your chest for a strong and consistent power pocket position. 19:54 🩰 Find the right posture for your natural body position when throwing, neither slumping nor being overly upright, to optimize power and control. 20:49 🔄 Adjusting your posture, such as bending at the waist or hips, can help you execute specific throws like hyzers or rollers effectively. 21:17 🤝 Focus on being in athletic positions and finding the postures that work best for your body to improve your overall form.
What’s a good tip to keep my wrist straight in my reach back? Or to stop curling my wrist. It’s not excessive but it’s definitely messing with my pull through
This will sound like an infomercial but after watching this video my son and I literally went out and both scored PR’s on our local course. For me the simple takeaway was to stop fighting against my mediocre posture and trying to force myself to stand up straighter when I throw than what is natural for me. I instantly felt more free and fluid. Thanks Drew!
Probably one of the best instructional backhand video yet. I'm 70 yrs old with 2 artificial hips and been only able to throw just to 225 feet because of limiting my hip rotation, but after watching your video, I can substitute some of your moves to increase my range.
Tips. Make markers on timeline like tip 1. footposition/athletic stance etc. Makes it easier for us viewers! Really good informational video! Keep the good work up!
I think of many form videos I’ve watched this has covered the basics in the best way possible and as simple as possible I love it and actually look forward to applying some new stuff to my throw tomorrow
This is the best instructional vid I have ever encountered. Been playing 30 years and we did not have distance drivers back then, so re-learning to throw these discs has been incredibly hard, especially approaching 50. I am up to 350-380 on the balls of my feet where I was stuck at 300ish otherwise. Thanks Drew, hope to see you more on tour next year.
Very good. I’m working on so many of these things and realized something that you said. It is exactly what I was doing with my footwork. Can’t wait to hit the field tomorrow. Thanks for making these videos. Cheers.
Thank for taking the time to explain these important tips. You did a great job going into why it’s important and it makes so much sense. Practice practice practice. When I started I could only throw 75-85 ft because I was using all arm. Now I am getting close to 200 ft consistently by working on form. I appreciate your content. Cheers!
I think this was presented really well. Consistency is the reason I'm still in MA3 and if I can work on the general ideas presented to dial in my version of consistency, I think this will help a bunch. I did some field work focusing on posture today. Ended up with more consistency in release angle/aim in practice. Thanks!
I didn't start getting better at disc golf until I started recording myself throw. Reason being, you have no clue what you're doing right or wrong until you watch it. Great video Drew. I wish more TH-cam creators left the form videos like this to professionals like yourself. Way to many people out there giving bad advice!
I really appreciate this. I’m new to dg (about a year) and mostly self-taught, so my form is garbage and inconsistent. I just realized watching your video that most of it was because of my feet. I’ve got a basket in my back yard about 200’ away, and I went outside after watching this video to practice throwing putters. I’ve only “aced” the basket twice in the 3-4 months that I’ve had it out there, but I just did it 3 times in about 20 minutes. Thank you!
Drew every time my form goes to shit I refer back to this to clean it up. I hope you will make more form videos. I'm really struggling with the double move, and getting the time right. Also getting that left shoulder closed. My time gets thrown off trying to incorporate that. But I also know when done right it adds distance and can be used for a Q in the form. Thanks again for taking the time and showing us Ams great form techniques.
My husband plays a lot recreationally so I decided to start playing, to spend more time together! I kept getting frustrated with my throws- specially the aim and the power behind them. I’m really excited to try these tips out and see how they improve my aim and distance! This was very thorough and easy to understand. Thanks!
How did it go? My wife was the same I explained stuffs. Ultimately it just took her time to figure out what her athletic stance was because it was unnatural feeling to her at first. Now she throws straighter then me ❤. However she misses easy putts because she doesn't practice😅 we have lots of fun.
The number one thing that improved my game 10x over any other specific mechanic… the grip. For years I had watched videos, took lessons, etc. all the while my max BH distance was 300’, the max distance disc was a toss up between a leopard and a Mako3. Once I was shown proper grip PRESSURE (emphasis on pressure), my distance increased to 350’ immediately. And it allowed speed 7+ discs to become usable.
I depended on a hyzer for so long that it created a bad habit of upward angle. I'm excited to get home and do some of these techniques. I really like the keep it in between the chest and top of your stomach
That’s awesome you mentioned the hip surgery! I myself have had both hips replaced and at only 31 when it happened I’m 40 now but I have to have my run up a lot different than most people took me two years just to get to 300+ wish I could have one day of pointers from you brother I know I’ll be at 400+ soon furthest I’ve gotten so far is about 360 or so. Love your videos brudda! 😊❤
Everything is about foot placement in every sport this is true your base has to be stable to do any athletic move brother is absolutely right thank u sir I needed this my drive is wonky because my foundation is not solid Imma work on that
Thanks for the video Drew! I feel this is the type of instruction that can be applied by players regardless of where their game is currently at. Maybe not the most technical form video but definitely tips that can actually be applied by the player.
Hey bro! Thanks so much for this man, EXTREMELY helpful! If I could help you out at all, I’d say make some reminder to always make sure your audio is peaking around -6 decibels when editing before you export! Thanks again man🔥
Great explanation and reasoning! Never thought of some of the demonstrations before. This definitely is very helpful looking forward to watching more of these for sure! Great job man and thank you! Subscribed
You give a lot of great tips in this video. Hopefully I can try them out in the next few months. Broke my plant leg on the course back in May so still cant backhand. But when I can, I hope to remember to come back to this video.
This is awesome. Thank you Drew. Just on a side note, and this takes nothing away from the content, but your audio levels are a little hot throughout the video. Again, thanks for the great content.
i started off "breaking the glass" but i had bad form... i get away from breaking the glass and using all lower body to generate the whip for arm.. NOW that i have the good form i think i can add back the "breaking the window" and should take me over 500ft.. yes i know you said this video isnt about that but i personally feel this is what ive been missing!
Just tried these tips and I'm impressed with my results. Slowing down, staying on the balls of my feet and transferring my hips really improved my tee shots today. Got a chance to throw the Finish Line Era today for the first time and when I say it was sweet you better believe it. Sailed like a dream! Thanks Drew! Keep on being awesome
What an awesome video, tons of great advice! Any tips on getting the nose down? That's one part this video didn't touch and also something I'm struggling with
I know you were asking Drew and not me but I will say that this is a good idea. If you're throwing stand still with an understable putter to show you your flaws. Once that putter goes 200' start adding an X Steo.
Great job of describing IN MINUTE DETAIL, all the things I've been questioning about my form. Thx Drew, subbed and looking forward to much more from you.
Great tips, simply staying on the balls of my feet has allowed my hips to rotate first and watching my recordings, has even created some lag. Still having trouble with my reach-back getting there before my front foot hits. Not sure what i can do to time correctly, guess its just a feel thing.
I've found that throwing slightly more flat footed has helped better with consistent footing and bracing. Is that wrong? I have tried being up on the balls of my feet, but I end up almost going over on my ankle when i plant. I throw close to 400ft.
I threw an errant anhyzer back hand that held its line and didnt start to flex back left until its last 20ft or so of flight, its a buzzz I threw, its in 4 foot high tall grass, Ive been looking for it for two days, how far can a human possibly throw a buzz off line? Im no david wiggins jr. Nor simon lizotte, but I do throw it pretty far, just want to pin point my search, happens to be a nearly grass colored buzz and theres about 2 to 6 inches of standing water on the ground so its been a tough search, a little distance estimate could help me a lot, Im 5' 9" 160 and Im stronger than that sounds, obviously I need mental help as well but just a distance estimate on my worse throw ever would be a life saver, also considering looking for it at night because it glows, might stand out more at night than in the day, really hoping it doesnt rain anymore and dries out a bit, sorry for the ramble, I just really want to find this disc, even if its a wide range, just your professional opinion would be the soothing balm I need to locate my disc!!
I chose Maple Hill as an example. You only need to throw 330' accurate to get yourself 12x C1 looks for birdie. If you sank 6 of those per round -- you won last years event.
I find that keeping your throwing elbow up kind of like what you tell kids when you're teaching them to hit a baseball...ie "don't drop your elbow"... really makes it hard to reach back extremely high or low and can help fix alot of swing plane issues, getting it into the pocket better and making everything more linear. You don't want it like chicken wing dance high, but dropping your elbow definitely allows your body and pull through to be less linear and less on the same plane...which is exactly what it does to a hitters form and reduces bat speed and makes the ball coming off the bat less predictable.
Im happy that you stopped doing the intro of you smashing the Flat-screen. I don't know you personally, but i think we could have a fun round together, although you would win it would be fun. If you're ever in the area of Chattanooga, come play The Sinks & The Narrows. You, Joey Lutz, James Cole and Aiden Scott would be fun to watch.
How often do you go through shoes? I play one round a day. Every day. No matter what shoes I get, the heel of my lead foots shoe gets a hole develop in it after 3 months. I can't figure out if this is normal wear and tear for that much playing, or if I'm destroying the shoe with poor form.
In ball golf, Tom Watson said you should pretend you're standing in a barrel. That keeps the swing around a pivot point and not sliding through the hit point. Kinda helps for the disc golf swing too.
Its definitely got me thinking on things that i find myself doing and thinking of timing of everything while i throw Glad you talked me into sticking it out 🤣🤣 Jk was planning on watching it regardless 👍👍
It's worth pointing out that there are some very powerful throwers (Calvin heimburg, seppo paju) who don't have a long reach back. It's not necessary to throw far. Just some food for thought.
First thing, that hoodie looks stupidly comfy. Secondly, I'm a player who always avoided run ups. I've always done a reverse baseball swing standstill. Appreciate the tips on just the first half of the video (all I've watched so far), and will try to implement everything to improve my game.
They're not trying to disguise them vs. blending them in better instead of a traditional cell tower. How do you think you get reception everywhere you go...?
Drew is going to have to send a few inflammatory social media posts to balance the scales after all this insightful and encouraging training content. Don't want to lose the gimmick! The rope analogy puts together a lot of things and especially is a good queue for the hips. You cannot pull with your arm. There's no resistance and it's a throw. You can't push your back hip around to the front. There's no power there. Dropping your front hip back seems limited because that's a very small range of motion so the queue doesn't feel like anything to me.. The door thing just never made sense because it looks like an arm motion, but it's not fluid enough. Even trying to think of it as an analogy it still results in tensing everything up and it's mostly shoulder muscle engagement. Mostly rear delts, which I'm not really feeling like I could launch a disc when I'm doing face pulls. But everybody has done tug of war at some point. Just standing up and thinking that my hips did what I think I haven't been able to really sort out before. I'd say in the feel it's more lead with your forearm. It does nothing on its own so you have to grip and use your body to drag. Drag might even be a better word than pull. May have to find a field at lunch. Also reminder about 150g Intervals if you'd like to make a cool $6 or whatever the margin is on a disc.
@@DrewGibson without that reddit wouldn't exist. what else would people do in the off season? speculate about people switching sponsors? boring. did get in 11 holes at lunch. just thought tug of war as the only thing going through my mind. in all seriousness it's what i've needed for a long time. laser to the chains on hole 1. birdied a long par 3 i never reach. two holes later i hurt my wrist because it was loose and it felt like i threw my hand off. my 13 speed actually turned and wound up long of the hole and wide by 30 feet due to the turn will be making some video to see what goes to hell while i do this, but there's hope for my hips.
Ha I didn't even notice it until this comment. But then again, I'm on my phone messaging this, and that "atrocious tower" is what gives people the reception they expect everywhere they go...
@@DrewGibsonnah all good man. Ever since I watched a video about the creative ways of hiding cell towers, they pop out to me and I cannot NOT see them.

I’ve been struggling to get a far reach back, do you have any feel that I should be going for?
It's worth pointing out that there are some very powerful throwers (Calvin heimburg, seppo paju) who don't have a long reach back. It's not necessary to throw far. Just some food for thought.
Duck feet stance is good for snowboarding....
What about the timing after the front toe touches for hip engagegement? Do you stay coiled until the heel touches then release the front hip?

They're not trying to disguise them vs. blending them in better instead of a traditional cell tower. How do you think you get reception everywhere you go...?
Drew is going to have to send a few inflammatory social media posts to balance the scales after all this insightful and encouraging training content. Don't want to lose the gimmick!
The rope analogy puts together a lot of things and especially is a good queue for the hips. You cannot pull with your arm. There's no resistance and it's a throw. You can't push your back hip around to the front. There's no power there. Dropping your front hip back seems limited because that's a very small range of motion so the queue doesn't feel like anything to me.. The door thing just never made sense because it looks like an arm motion, but it's not fluid enough. Even trying to think of it as an analogy it still results in tensing everything up and it's mostly shoulder muscle engagement. Mostly rear delts, which I'm not really feeling like I could launch a disc when I'm doing face pulls.
But everybody has done tug of war at some point. Just standing up and thinking that my hips did what I think I haven't been able to really sort out before.
I'd say in the feel it's more lead with your forearm. It does nothing on its own so you have to grip and use your body to drag. Drag might even be a better word than pull.
May have to find a field at lunch.
Also reminder about 150g Intervals if you'd like to make a cool $6 or whatever the margin is on a disc.
I’m sure those tough redditors still hate me 🤡😂🤡
@@DrewGibson without that reddit wouldn't exist. what else would people do in the off season? speculate about people switching sponsors? boring.
did get in 11 holes at lunch.
just thought tug of war as the only thing going through my mind.
in all seriousness it's what i've needed for a long time. laser to the chains on hole 1. birdied a long par 3 i never reach. two holes later i hurt my wrist because it was loose and it felt like i threw my hand off. my 13 speed actually turned and wound up long of the hole and wide by 30 feet due to the turn
will be making some video to see what goes to hell while i do this, but there's hope for my hips.
Name a disc golfer with more drip…I’ll wait…
Me too 🥸
Very informative content! Please buy a new mic.

Not first, great info though!
That tower in the background is atrocious and distracting ha. Great vid. Gives me something to work on
Sorry about that
You've spotted the 'rare' Arizona cell phone tree. You should see the ones that think they are palm trees.
Ha I didn't even notice it until this comment. But then again, I'm on my phone messaging this, and that "atrocious tower" is what gives people the reception they expect everywhere they go...
@@DrewGibsonnah all good man. Ever since I watched a video about the creative ways of hiding cell towers, they pop out to me and I cannot NOT see them.
@@BillFromAZ Oh I have.
This is one of the most monetized videos I’ve ever seen on YT. Every five minutes an ad for triscuits or something. Sorry but I’m out…
Blame TH-cam 😂 Premium TH-cam would fix all your major issues in life.

Lol 🫡
