I'm new, so I feel this statement in my core. However, I had 3 birdies today and finally drove almost 300 twice. Just keep working. You'll get there. 😊
I throw 250 feet consistently and pushed a +8 on the FPO layout at maple hill last year just focusing on those consistent shots. Pushed WAY more bogies than I wanted but I knew my shots would get me to a par putt. Play your game around your arm speed!
Your tips have helped me so much in my game. I went from scoring a +14 average last year to scoring +2 average this year. I do have that distance envy, but instead of focusing on that, I practice putting the most out of every skill, and it’s helped me stomp on those “big distance” guys. Sure, I can’t throw past 350, but I can nail putts 30ft and in with full confidence
Field Work...Field Work...Field Work...nothing will help you to improve faster than that...and 5 really good tips from the Robbie C Disc golf guy...excellent. I am begging beginners to hit the practice field, I spend far more time on the practice field than I do on a course...in just two years...I have grown from an infant...to a prepubescent teenager growing whiskers Lol's
Absolutely agree on 1 and 2. I’ve learned both the hard way. Bought discs that were way too fast for my arm speed and spent way too much time chasing distance. I wish I’d seen your video 2 years ago when I first started playing. I am improving on both counts now. Thanks for your great videos!
My favorite thing you went over was on in the bag last week. As an MA2/3 player, pick a handfull of holes you are gonna go for birdie then par the rest. Its great expectation management and if you fall into a few bonus birdies good.
Just started couple of weeks ago.. this sport is like crack! i am hooked! Been watching your videos for hours and hours, thanks alot for making them, they really help me out ALOT!
Love the shovel handle Idea! Personally, I enjoy throwing the funky approach shots. I'm blessed with a 250ft-sloped yard with several trees, and the shovel handle will make for some interesting lines. Thanks for another helpful video!
I bought Eliezra's disc to support her. You definitely have inspired me to practice putting. It is simple quick and efficient to practice. I putted 500 times today and over 6000 times in the last 40 or so days. I am not obsessed with being a distance thrower. I am obsessed with getting enough distance to give myself birdie chances. It is silly how pathetic my backhand is for the number of hours I have put into it. I am grinding so much now that I barely even play.
I have taken the putting practice advise for some time. I get at least a little in everyday. Its made a world of difference in my confidence. Keep cranking!
Loved ALL the tips and look forward to applying them to my game. I especially want to start putting every day to get consistent with putting consistently and increasing my effective putting distance. Lastly, i already do this some, but i plan to imcrease showcasing my approach shots, which are the strongest part of my game. Thanks for the tips. They make sense and should be easy to apply.
Showing some love for the Pipeline, nice. Definitely a good disc in the DGA lineup. Best advice I've ever been given: work from the basket out. Some guy named Robbie mentioned it at some point.
I like both 2 and 5. Putting is sooo key like you say and when you have confidence you feel so much better. I’m sure you’ve mentioned the 250’ and in disc before but it hit a chord with me of being confident with your approach disc. Thanks for all the great info and the fun round with these discs. 🤙
Love all the videos and this one hits home. Nothing beats hard work and maximum effort but great value can be added to your journey by watching your videos.
I definitely agree with 1 and 2 once I started doing that my game has been more consistent and I can keep close to my friends that out drive me by 100 feet
The Sail has become my favorite disc. Thought it would be more understable but turned out to be laser beam straight. It’s like a 9 (it has a 1.9 centimeter rim) speed crave or cicada. I’d say it’s real numbers are 9-6 -1 1. At least the ones I have. My 57 year arm can get it about 325 on a good day. Never thought it would become my go to driver but it quickly has.
i know i won't get the distance, so i asked for a putting basket (and got it early because my partner loves me. 😂) i nicknamed it "big red" and when i'm on a course now, i just tell myself i'm hanging out with big red. i love your handle idea! great stuff in here, robbie. best to lindsay and pats to 🐶 cheers! 🛴❤
I completely agree with your intro. I'm someone that Hates deceptiveness. So much so that I couldn't be a salesman. Click bait is o k if it has good intentions
Mid-range cheat code from DGA has to be the Squall. They are a straight flyer with the ability to hold any angle. The downside is that they're not the easiest to find in my area. Sadly, a lot of DGA is limited in my area. This is mainly due to DGA being pressed out at Discraft. When I worked there we did very few production runs of them, and when we did press them, it was a focus on Steadys and Rogues - if memory serves.
Tip 2: i skip my lunch and use 5 Lunas to put on a travel basket at work, then i have 30 min to putt, i started from 5m and when i hit 90% i move 1 meter back. currently at 7m and i need an average off 130 putts to sink 100 putts. 30 min lets me putt out 220-300 putts =D game changer for me
Right disc for your arm speed: Start with neutral/stable/straight discs(ex. 2 speed 2/5/0/0) that are in the same plastic;all are all new and all in the 165-170 range. Throw that 2 speed until it can be thrown flat and straight. If that 2 speed starts turning on you when thrown flat (turn is when the disc goes in the direction of the back of you hand and arm);then move up to a neutral/stable/straight 3 speed (Ex. 3/5/0/0). Keep going up in speed until the disc only flys overstable for you when thrown flat. Overstable is when a disc flys in the direction of the inside of your hand and arm) and fades when thrown flat. If your neutral (neutral is a disc that is designed to go straight; a neutral disc usually has a 0 stability rating) disc fades when thrown flat that means you have hit a speed of disc that is beyond your arm speed.
I throw a couple of discs that are above my paygrade (higher than my ~10 speed arm) but I do so because they fill a gap that works for my arm speed (eg a Catalyst) that I can equal my Innova Beast(s ...I have 3 different plastic Beasts) but get a different line in some winds or elevations). It's not the Disc's numbers... It's what you can do with it that matters. (said the Vicar...) (like handing a highspeed flippy to a noob that keeps Hyzering their only (madly over-stable) disc. for their 1st long distance throw). P.S I can get a max of 330ft (A rugby field length in NZ, 100m touch to touch line... (So probably 450ft Internet distance) 😀 and I can get that distance with my drivers and about 10ft less with my fairways... and according to google maps measurements.. 250ft with my Proxy (Shame I have so much trouble throwing it 10ft)
I started to look at putting like I do set shots in basketball. I don't focus on a chain link anymore. I never looked at a diamond in a basketball net. LOL Long story short, people have been noticing my improved putting in the last couple of weeks.
I am currently putting with steadys (with a bead) 2021 bottom stamp. My goodness do they have a predictable flight. They're like wizards for slightly smaller hands.
Right disc for you?: Stability of a disc will effect flight. Ex. I can throw a new 170 Yikun Yan 3/6/0/0 in Tiger plastic straight on a back hand. I can not throw a 170 Hammer Chui 2/2.5/0/3 straight on a back hand. This disc is made to be stable and fade and it does just that for me. Side note: Because the Tiger plastic is a basic plastic it will wear down and the Yan will start to turn and become less stable and the Hammer Chui will become less stable and fly straighter for me.
My five rules… #1 get out and play more disc golf #2 get out and play more disc golf #3 get out and play more disc golf #4 add in some thoughtful putting practice #5 work with a limited number of discs at first till you master your form. Bonus Item: get out and play more disc golf.
I have set many 9 hole courses with 3 folders. Get creative and pro pad up. Just saying I have 4 baskets but use 2 chairs often. The lil lady or your buddy will give up a folder
why you can throw the intended flight of a 12/13 speed on a forehand not on backhand, your spin to speed ratio is higher on the backhand making them more gyroscopicly stable. Forehands Speed to spin ratio is inverse, so you will get more turn out of them since they are spinning significantly slower than a backhand.
@@AnonymousOtters so far the folks that have tried tech disc have seen more spin on back hand. But think about it this way, why do most people prefer more stable discs on forehand? The added stability works better for the lower spin rate. Makes sense right?
@@AnonymousOtters He’s correct. Forehands spin slower. I had it backwards for a long time myself. I think it’s because backhands just kinda snap out of your hand, so assuming your grip is good, they just spin as fast as they need to. When you throw forehand, you’re kinda spinning it yourself by flicking your wrist. That’s probably not the best explanation, and it might not be 100% accurate, but that’s how I think about it/visualize it.
Since my max distance is 200, I’m trying for bogey, and getting a par is like getting a birdie.
I'm new, so I feel this statement in my core. However, I had 3 birdies today and finally drove almost 300 twice. Just keep working. You'll get there. 😊
Same
Don't worry all you need is practice. I can highly recommend field practice.
I throw 250 feet consistently and pushed a +8 on the FPO layout at maple hill last year just focusing on those consistent shots. Pushed WAY more bogies than I wanted but I knew my shots would get me to a par putt. Play your game around your arm speed!
My philosophy is play for par, be happy with bogey, get stoked for the occasional bird. I cant get to 300, generally speaking, myself.
Clickbait = Robbie has a video. Seriously, don’t even look at the title most times before I click. Love your content and spirit!
Your tips have helped me so much in my game. I went from scoring a +14 average last year to scoring +2 average this year.

Appreciate the tips Robbie! Can’t wait to get out and start practicing!!
I’ve the disc break down! Great job on get to see what they should be doing in a full line up like that
I definitely agree with 1 and 2 once I started doing that my game has been more consistent and I can keep close to my friends that out drive me by 100 feet
Robbie you are great thanks for sharing your knowledge

My recommendation is a cheap folding camp chair. Everyone has 2 of em and the same size as a basket. I set em up about 30' uncomfortable putt
Putting back n forth. Can play horse. With friends. 3 Chairs is perfect for camping
The quake is awesome. Sneaky distance for a disc that stable too
i know i won't get the distance, so i asked for a putting basket (and got it early because my partner loves me. 😂)
i nicknamed it "big red" and when i'm on a course now, i just tell myself i'm hanging out with big red. i love your handle idea! great stuff in here, robbie. best to lindsay and pats to 🐶 cheers! 🛴❤
I totally stand behind using a shovel for practice putting, been using it as a practice aid and Iv noticed a massive increase in accuracy

Any chance you could do or recommend a video on how to find the right putting putter?
What do you think about DGA Tempest? I’ve a Tempest and Pipeline

Is having the most fun considered a strength? Because that’s what I got going for me.
Be real… did you miss the put at 16:28 ?
Sail -5 turn 😮
So where do I find 10 Champion King Cobra’s?

My pillows dont have a clue whats coming for them, luckily im an awful putter so they aren;t in that much danger
Tip: It dose not matter what the disc is, it matter if you know what the disc dose.
