    As a basketball player who obsesses with every body mechanic involved in shooting a basketball, this video’s breakdown of each mechanic, both at wind up, at release, and post release, is exactly the kind of video I’ve been looking for to make a jump in my fourth summer season of frisbee. Thank you!

      Thanks Jonathan! Basketball players make absolutely unstoppable ultimate frisbee players, from what I've seen. Being effective in the air, winning jousts, and the lateral agility are all basketball strengths which seem to transfer over nicely. Glad you like the forehand breakdown. I'm working on the backhand video now. It's taking weeks because the two are surprisingly different, and my backhand is nothing special. But I have a plan to account for that and still deliver something exciting for you guys.

      You're welcome! For beginners, the I. O. Drill in the Ultimate Forehand Training Video is as foolproof a system as I can think of for teaching forehands. That is, getting beginners to exaggerate the downward angle of release and incrementally scaling up the distance until they're surprising themselves with how far they're throwing. Have you tried the drill with your teammates? How is it going? If you don't have it yet, you can get The Ultimate Forehand Training Video here frisbeethrows.com/ for free.

    Hey, I've got some questions comments if interested! For my flick hucks, I rotate the disc on the tip of my middle finger and really push forwards with the webbing of my thumb joint, which gets me a bunch of extra spin and power because it's another link in the kinetic chain. Similar motion to turning a doorknob, with fingers pointing at the sky. Tight core is super important too. I generate most of my power with my forearm and really pulling through with it, but I'll be sure to experiment around with the things in this video, especially arm position. Thanks a bunch!

      Seems simple, but buy a disc and make friends with someone who likes throwing with you, then throw with them at school during breaks. The number of hours you'll stack up will contribute MASSIVELY to your throwing skills and make you a better player in games.

    Rob I have a question concerning throwing long forehand. Is there a "flick" involved in the throw??? As I watched your vid, it looks like you're throwing the disk as you would a baseball or a football.

    • @ryanlowe6243
      @ryanlowe6243  4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      There's a ton of wrist snap at the very last moment but no, there isn't a conscious "flick" action if I understand what you mean by that. Sometimes I see people exaggerating the flick motion by also attempting to pull their arm back at the last second, like a whip. I believe it's better to develop wrist snap and follow through.

      ​@@patrickbrady5457 Hey man, ya I do (or at least I think so, a doctor friend thought I did anyway). Solid chest huh... well honestly you can always do a bunch of bench pressing and explosive pushups if you want to build your pectorals. This will give your chest more size, but it will still be sunken in the middle where the muscle meets bone (like mine is).
      I actually had a bodybuilder friend say he didn't mind the look of a sunken chest if the person also has strong pecs because it's kind of like man cleavage, makes the pecs look bigger than they really are haha. More shadow maybe, I'm not sure.
      But if your concern is to be more attractive, I'd say work on "functional strength" and your chest will become more muscular in the process. I own an olympic bar and bumper plates for olympic-style powerlifting in my backyard.
      By building olympic lifting into your routine, your entire body will become more powerful while becoming more physically attractive. By doing compound lifts (single leg and double leg back squats, deadlifts, power cleans, front squats, pistol squats etc) as well as bodyweight work like burpees, plyometric jumps and wide grip pull-ups (aiming for muscle-ups eventually) your whole body will become more athletic-looking, powerful and muscular. From a confidence standpoint (which is really what we're talking about here), it's more important to know you're capable of lifting 300 lbs than it is to see big pecs when you look in the mirror.
      Nobody cares about my chest, they care about what I can do, and what kind of person I am.
      I used to spend a lot of time worrying about how my chest looked worse than other guys. I'm still envious of guys with chests that barrel out. Those guys are blessed with great ribcages. But those same guys have insecurities. A big chested buddy of mine once told me he was jealous of my big feet because he has tiny feet. As a swimmer, this was a disadvantage for him and hurt his performance.
      Work out, get stronger, be good to people and your confidence will grow. Eventually you'll forget you even have a sunken chest.
      Start training today. I've written a post about getting stronger with bodyweight exercises you can do until you get access to weights: frisbeethrows.com/ultimate-frisbee-workout-make-you-unstoppable/

      @ryanlowe6243  5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      @@patrickbrady5457 Wow TH-cam cropped most of my reply! I had included several paragraphs in my reply and only the first one was actually posted. If you want to make the club team you need to play your ass off this summer. Club teams, at least where I live, practice several times each week and play tournaments on weekends. That's a ton of frisbee. You'll lose fat and gain muscle if you crank up your athletic output like that - so do everything you can to get onto several teams for as many nights of the week as you can through the summer. In my little town of 80k people we have a strong league with the option to play 3 nights per week (Tue, Wed, Thu). If you lived here I'd say play ulti those 3 consecutive nights, and run as hard as you can every night, in sprints. When playing, stop jogging around like everyone else and create big variation between your speeds. You're either barely running or sprinting full out. This will make you a more valuable player and a more explosive athlete. You'll be harder to cover if you can get from walking to top speed in a few strides. I've created an ultimate-specific workout that is designed to make you incredibly explosive. This type of training will also build muscle and burn fat far more dramatically than low intensity cardio. Give it everything you've got. Here's the workout: frisbeethrows.com/ultimate-frisbee-workout-make-you-unstoppable/ Don't ever give yourself more than 2 days of consecutive rest this summer. So whatever days you're not playing ultimate, those are training days. Overtraining is not a problem until you're pissing brown - and if you get to that level you've proven you're an absolute machine and the club team will have a real hard time passing you up. I'd go so far as to treat the "game days" as rest days and train on all other days. It's about contrast. Work yourself to the bone and allow yourself to rest really well during your time off for the rest of the day. My blog post above addresses recovery, take that extremely seriously as it's when you actually get your gains. Protect your sleep, and your sobriety. You can get drunk and high with your friends every weekend, or you can get onto that club team, but you can't have both. Good luck man, I'm very interested in whether or not you make the team so please keep me updated throughout the summer!

    • @ryanlowe6243
      @ryanlowe6243  5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Two other things that will stack the odds in your favour: 1) track your training with a calendar. Simply mark days you've successfully trained or played ultimate with an X and hang the calendar somewhere where you see it all the time. So it stares you in the face. 2) Put money on it. Bet 5 friends you'll make the team this fall, $20 each. This way you're personally responsible to those 5 friends, who will actually be rooting for you, you'll be more compelled to work hard AND you'll be more likely to train so you don't lose that $100! When you make the team, use the $100 to celebrate with those 5 friends as a thank you for their support.

    Good video, one thing though, lift is not generated underneath. It is generated on the top because the air travels faster to get back together after being split by the disc and the disc turns over due to precession of the focus of lift caused by the, as you mentioned, the difference in drag between the oncoming and retreating shoulders of the disc as it flies. I watched the backhand video too, nice job!

    • @ryanlowe6243
      @ryanlowe6243  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Oh crazy! I had no idea lift was generated above the disc... my whole life I've conceptualized lift as coming from below. My understanding is the air above the disc, moving faster gets "spaced out" and less dense, so there's a difference in pressure (less above the disc, more below) and so the result is a disc that moves up. Would this not mean that lift the result of forces above AND below the disc?

      I second that. Especially when throwing forehand hucks. Go watch all the great throwers in club or AUDL. In their wind-up they step to the back (right foot) and then forward to generate more distance. IMO (with 32 years of ultimate) the second most important clue, after dropping down the edge.
