- In this video I talk about the three major properties which dictate a discs flight, and the three major form components to increasing your ability to manipulate those flight characteristics in order to break 400ft.
Let your body figure out the small things and focus on these three big things throughout your throw.

This is a very good instructional video. Thank you for it.
Good tips here. Appreciate this video and your channel.
TY TY 🤝
That hand thing is on point. The days I'm throwing the best I really feel it roll out of my hand and pop at the very end.
The moment that clicked for me I noticed my discs started staying in the air longer!
@@hotbeefdiscgolf absolutely, I still haven't quite got it locked down how to get that feeling consistently but I know when I do feel it I'm about to get a nice flight out of the disc.
I’ve watched a lot of form and training videos, but this short video has been one of the most helpful. I never understood coiling the hips until you showed the motion. I realized I’ve been throwing essentially without hip coil. I’m working on it now and I played one of my best league rounds today and went out to the field and promptly threw a 350’ shot and averaged my drivers at about 325’ coming from an average of 285 previously. Thanks for the video!
Dude! So glad it was helpful! This makes it all worth making!🤝
Yoooo, that grip tip is probably gonna be money. I've been trying to push down with the thumb and up with the back fingers, but that push n pull feels way more comfortable. Can't wait to try it in the field.
Edit. It works.
Its an adaptation of what I saw from Holyn Handley tip!
So glad that it worked for you! CHEERS! 🤝
Actually he didnt mention the most important part on how to get nose down and he uses it too... leave the little finger out of it. Its that simple.
Oh my gosh I didn't mention that! I totally forgot. I have to use a 3 finger grip because my hands are smaller! The 3 finger was the only way I could reach that far nose down lol!
@@Boltzi With my old grip I was using pinky to push the back up to help tilt it down. Now it just sits there under the rim for comfort, but not really doing anything or applying any pressure.
4.. miss the 'First Available' tree.
I could be in the Sahara Desert and still hit a tree.
Bro 🤣. OK PART 2 COMING SOON
The grip advice was great. Going to be working on that specifically this week. New subscriber and appreciate your videos. Thank you
Cheers TY TY! 🤝
Nice tips. Really well explained and easy to follow. Thanks.
Cheers!
As someone who recently got to the 400' mark I think that not every element of a throw is equally weighted in importance. Ultimately for a disc to go 400', it has to be released fast. You have to accelerate the disc from zero to say 65 MPH in the short distance you pull through. That MOSTLY takes power delivered correctly. Think cars and acceleration. If you were limited to 1/10 of a mile to accelerate to 65 MPH there's a lot of factors that HELP, like lighter car, wheel lightness, aerodynamics, traction, body stiffness. But ultimately you need a certain amount of power and torque to make it happen, or it simply WON'T happen. Work on building your core and arm strength specifically on the motions involved in a throw and you'll see the biggest gains the fastest.
Impeccable form with 250' of power will get you 250'. Trash form with 500' of power might get you 300. The perfect form is only going to delivery the maximum your muscles are limited to.
And its mainly about explosive power, not just big muscles. Just wanted to correct that much since thinking about musclecars with 500hp is not the same thing 😅
Such a good, concise video! Thank you.
My pleasure! Cheers!🤝
Solid advice.
TY TY Brother🤝
Always struggled with nose angle… Never heard the thumb, finger push, pull before. It feels right just sitting here and will try it as soon as I hit the field. Thanks!
Cheers! Hope it helps! 🤝
@@hotbeefdiscgolf It helped a lot! My discs have never made this kind of sound when I throw them as they do after this hint. I have tried everything to get the disc nose down but this has been by far the most effective change to my grip ever. Thank you!
Cheers dude! 🤝So happy to have helped!
@@hotbeefdiscgolf well, it worked! Feels more natural than poring coffee on the grass!
Love to hear it! So glad it helped!
Thanks dude great video.
new sub keep it up
Thanks man!!!!
Real solid, like it. I've seen may folks say do not curl the wrist. Moving hand around disc seems to require some curl ? Yes ? No ? not so much ? Thanks !
I curl a little bit. I think everyone has different advice on that because it's one of those things that changes for each body and mobility. Cheers!
I like the subject, info, and video length, you keep adjusting your glasses though
yeah i think its time for a new pair haha. TY TY
I can feel it when I sling versus throw but no 400' 😂 Will you do the field work for me so I'll be ready for the course?
Absolutely! Your fieldwork max today will be about 415' without skips
New to the channel. That intro sound is ceeepy and weird 🤣 great tips though!
Haha! TY! Will consider a new one soon!
I'd be happy with 300.
Spin that thing
I thought you were supposed to coil your shoulders against your hips, wouldn't coiling your hips just take away power?
I think this is a good talking point. Perhaps this might be one of those things thats different for each thrower. I know that with my range of motion, I physically cannot coil my shoulders full without my hips, and that by rotating my hips counter clockwise and then clockwise I feel all of the muscles in my back and core fire. Worth investigating!!!
No
@@jerramy1997 I mean if you don't coil your shoulders against your hips, and you start your throw by turning your hips. What would that initially do? Nothing. But coiling your shoulders against your hips will create more tension in your torsoe, causing power to be more efficiently transfered from your lower body to your upper body. When you fire your hips, your shoulders will also move, which is more powerful/efficient. Correct me if I'm wrong, but to me coiling your shoulders against your hips makes more sense from a biomechanics standpoint.
400 feet? I’ve been playing over 3 years and can’t even regularly get to 300 feet.
Keep working at it! Takes time but most people are capable

Appreciate the words of encouragement, sir.

Physocs: that's not true - a bullet is made to spin to prevent it from tumbling, which would slow it down.
Why do you add background music? I came here to hear what you had to say about throwing, but the noise is very distracting. I could download the video, upload to an AI tool that strips music, download and watch... but that's a lot of work. If you're trying to entertain or sell, sure go ahead and do what you want, but if you're actually trying to communicate and teach, please for the love of God respect #accessibility and don't add noise.
Thank you for the feedback! This is genuinely helpful. I had no intention of being exclusionary.
You could also mute the video and turn on closed captioning, that would be easier.
I will reflect on your constructive advice though and really put it into consideration for future uploads.
