Had a great time out at the Memorial Championships this past week. Learned a lot and can't wait for my 1st tournament! Where did you guys play this weekend?
0:03 you ok? how's your ankle feeling and how are the shoes holding up lmao. thanks for the tips, driving that back foot into the follow through is something i need to try.
Drew I learned a lot more from this short vid than from some 30-45 min long paid demos from players I’ll leave unnamed. Looking forward to more content from your channel. I believe in you brother. Go out there and get what’s yours. 🤘
I’ve been playing for 10 years and only able to throw 300’ consistently. After I watched and practiced the material from this video, I can consistently throw 450’-480’ now with my farthest throw being 505’. Thank you for making this available for everybody! For FREE!
Hey im kinda in the same boat. I am able to get 350ish but im curious what helped you out the most? Or what do you think was the biggest change in your throw?
Seeing this much Drew content really shows off his knowledge of the throw. To me, he’s so smooth it’s almost been a detriment because he gives the impression that he’s just a natural, but putting this kind of cerebral thought into is just next level. Thanks to both of you, will be watching this frequently
Nothing but great advice in this video! Thank you. I finally am putting everything together and yesterday was throwing just over 450' for the first time. **IMPORTANT: The one thing that I haven't seen discussed in any disc golf distance videos is the stabilization of the front leg during the release. Drew does an awesome job and is obviously very strong based off of his front leg extension @9:22. I was a pitcher in college and the fastest I clocked was 95 mph. Similar to baseball, you don't want any drift through your front knee as your releasing. You want to stabilize and extend if you can.
Been playing disc golf for at least 7 years and I am loving learning how to make my game better along with you Brodie. I need this. It's almost like we all have the best in the world teaching us like brodie does.
i played for a year on and off. Started back up again and am determined to learn how to improve my distance! after watching this video (over and over)! thank you for sharing:) My aim is straight forward but once I move my hips, & head right it will go farther! haha
This was quite literally the best information I've ever recieved regarding disc golf form. Thank you so much. I'm the guy who can throw 500, but only 4/10 times. The wrist degree thing made so much sense. 🔥🙌
@@familymainacct I understand your skepticism. I'm not trying to say I'm a 1000 rated player who can constantly bomb it ot anything, because I'm not. Far from it actually. I know UDisc isn't perfect, but I have my share of throws that are within 10 feet of 500 either direction according to the app. I've been playing for 10 plus years and I can consistently throw over 400 feet. Drew can bomb midranges 500 and I was just appreciating his technique and description of how he does it.
Gibson has to be a fellow metalhead! Drew will be world champ soon. Im gonna call it that it will happen in the next 3 years. I get the same feeling about him as i had about Wysocki before he socki-bombed his way into a world title.
Drews a good instructor. He uses common terms, rather than disc specific, and for the most part stays on track and doesn't go on tangents. I agree with some of the other comments, this was one of the better tutorials.
Of all the "Gain More Distance" videos on TH-cam this is the one people should listen to and study. When you see Drew throw in person and see the power/speed/distance he generates you realize he is an absolute beast of an athlete. If he's giving tips everyone should listen.
Just for the slow mo, total thumbs up. Thank you so much! I was reminding other videos over and over and still missing what I wanted to observe. This is phenomenal. I can even record myself slow mo and compare, now. Brilliant!
@@thetraveler2903 Not sure what exactly he was referring to, but I believe his point was that many players throw primarily with their arm instead of rotating their entire body. The majority of the throwing power should come from hip rotation, not from forcing your arm forward.
Many people when attempting to throw a disc further, hit a golf ball further, throw a baseball harder, etc. assume that they have to increase tension in their muscles (“muscle up”). Research in biomechanics has shown this to be the exact opposite of what you need to do. Drew is relaxed as he approaches the shot and accelerated as if “cracking a whip”. As Brodie mentions... just listen to the top pro’s throws... the sound at the point of release signals a relaxed yet accelerated snap
You rock Brodie!! I've been following you for a while now. Since the stuff you did with dude perfect and bro 5. Independantly from that. I've also been following pro Disc Golf. I watched one round and was hooked, immediately subscribed to JoMez Pro and watched all I could. I often wondered if you would make the transition into disc golf and when I saw you post you're first video with Paul Mcbeth I was so fired up to watch your progression and you do not disappoint. Can't wait to see where it all takes you man. So shout out to you, your wife Kelsey, Paul and Hannah, Simon Lizotte, Drew Gibson, Eagle McMahon, Paige Pierce and the entire Pro Disc Golf community for opening my eyes to this amazing sport. I'll be watching for great things from you Bridie. Much respect
Man I’m going to have to save this video. If Drew ever comes to Michigan I would be down for some private lessons. He can absolutely crush and is a great teacher!!!!
Literally studied Drew's form over and over, slomo, and took it outside and practices for days, practice without disc and with and just straight up form and finally got it down. Thank you for this vid!!!
This is one of the better distance drive tutorials I've seen. Always wanted to drive atleast 400 but never could get there. This might just inspire me to go at it on a different approach. Great job Drew and Brodie.
My fave thing about disc golf is guys can talk about themselves in a good light, like ‘I’m one of the furthest throwers in the world’ and it doesn’t sound arrogant. Practice makes perfect, and his distance shows how much work he’s put in. I love it. So much respect for Drew.
This was very helpful. Very similar to the clinic I took with AJ Risley On February 15th, 2020 at Mountain Pride Disc Golf Park in Murrieta, Ca. Thanks, Drew this was awesome! I can't wait to try this and get my hips more engaged to get that power.
took third in my first tourney! i got FREAKY woulda had 1ST but i accidentally scored my second round wrong and got docked 2 strokes. but it was all a learning experience and set my goals to having a fun time and learn. i did just that so i'm stoked! these videos have been helping me tremendously with getting to understand the game. thank you Brodie cant wait to see what you do!
My bro and I used the same technique as a golf swing since it was our first time this weekend. Seems like it is the same principals with the hip turn and solid head placement. Definitely not about arm strength but windup.
Man, I’ve got so much to work on but I will get there! Appreciate this so much. Been playing for about 4 months but have not been working on distance and drives really. Still have issues with consistently throwing over 200. First goal is to consistently and accurately get to 300.
I’ve watched some good videos by Simon and others on how to throw farther but Drew really put the icing on the cake for me. Keep up pumping out the great content Brodie!
This was the most useful information i've ever gotten about throwing far. I'm going to watch this on repeat. Brodie, one thing i notice about your form is you do seem to round just a bit still and the disc doesn't really pop out of your hand. I'm not sure if it's a grip thing or a wrist speed thing but the disc just seems to come out....idk lazy? that seems insulting and I don't like to say it but I think that's the difference in when you can hear the disc come out of Drew's shot but you's doesn't sound the same. Just my 2 cents man. You can already throw well farther than me so I probably shouldn't be talking. Super excited to watch you keep improving and crushing some courses!
Thank you for sharing, this is extremely valuable and very easily understandable advice! This is gold!!! Drew, you are awesome my friend! Brody, keep the vids coming, I get bored when I run out.. this new season has been the best yet with your content!!!
Brodie, I've been playing disc golf for almost 20 years now, but I love watching your videos and learning all these new things. I appreciate all this content, and damn if I don't wanna go out and try to go pro now lol
Your tip on the reach back and keeping it away from you is so helpful. I've never really heard anyone say that and now it makes a lot more sense. I think I've been rounding hard by reaching back behind my body. Great vid!
Awesome! I threw threw one yesterday for 318ft haha, and thought that was far, of course it rolled 50 ft, so the throw was much less, but it still went that far! I was stoked. Also, Phoenix represents! Love it here in AZ.
This is the best distance video I have watched. I took these tips to field work first. Started at half speed and worked my way up to a controlled 90% and a 120% FR mode. I have noticed a huge difference at my local courses. Discing down on many holes and getting my longest drives on the bigger ones. Bringing all my scores lower than ever. Thank you Drew Gibson and Brodie for the video.
That tip about using your back leg to drive your hips. 🤯 Man I think that's what I was missing. It makes do much sense. Can't wait to go out and try it tomorrow. Thanks Drew and Brodie!
The way it was described to me for reaching back to throw, and pulling the disc forward, was like you are pulling a lawnmower cord to start it. a straight line back to forward. It was a great comparison for me to think of. Greatly increased my throw. Great vid.
LOVED watching Drew play this past weekend, making it one of the most exciting Memorials I've seen over the years. Just a blistering pace you guys were pushing out there! Thanks for the tips guys!
Been a Brodie fan for a while and been watching Jomez for the last year or so. Now I'm learning the personalities of the players I've been seeing in the tournaments. Disc golf seems like its full of the nicest people.
Being an novice this video helped me to get forced 250-270 to solid 270-300 with very little effort on force and at the same time my accuracy increased substantially... And all this came just by watching the video and right after that those throws started carrying out right out from the first one. With minor changes and practice I bet I could throw easily 320-350. Very well put tutorial and great examples! Thanks a lot!
I like what I see here, been throwing disk for many years and hope to never stop thanks for this video. With all of these tips, my son will say omg the next time we play. W
@@ronjones-6977 Doing well. Was able to hit 400ft within 100 days but have kinda plateaus distance wise. Have maxed at 422. But very comfortable and confident at hitting 375 when needed.
Brodie Smith with some good limbering yoga, especially the kind that limbers and strengthens your core and waist, I bet your form would get so smooth and strong so fast!
I'd say the more I hear / see him the more I think he is more likable, intellectual, and approachable than he appears on the surface. I found myself rooting for him @ the Memorial.
The "snap" from Drew's drives is so insanely loud. He'll throw a buzz and it sounds like a high speed driver ripping out of his hands at 80mph, it's crazy to hear in person. Also, lol at waiting for the UDisc measurement to calibrate. Such a relatable moment haha
First round of my life yesterday, made a 320ft drive on the udisc shot tracker! Very happy with that! It landed where I wanted too! Really wish I’d started playing decades ago. 😓
So glad when Drew said he's typically uses the modified fan grip. It's always been the most comfortable for me and the people who've noticed have told me that I NEED to to change my grip in order to get distance and accuracy.
I'm a OG frisbee golf player and a lifelong frisbee head I've taught thousands of people how to throw a disc and virtually every breed of dog how to catch one I agree with everything he is saying especially the stance it it all comes from your feet,, and your stance , that correct stance not only gives you optimum balance from front to back and right to left it also gives you 180° of which to accelerate a disc, the first 90° should be off your back foot and the second 90° should be off your front foot until your release point try and keep your elbow almost level with the top of your shoulder , avoid trying to overthrow, everybody will throw a disc differently, they all have their own unique thing , Whenever I have a shot at the basket I like to put overspin on it with my wrist ,and controlling the distance with the correct amount of velocity from my elbow it will hover above the basket and drop straight down.
I love this video. Not because I’m planning on throwing 500 feet (I average about half that distance), but because Drew finally woke me up on the follow through. I’ve played disc for 20 years, but never had anyone give me any good advice/training. I did an online lesson with Scott Stokely and didn’t get beyond footwork. Bringing that left shoulder through is a big deal. I never did it and paid with thousands of horrible throws. Now I’m working on not trying to kill every shot......
lmao me too buddy, me too. Me and my pals have been playing for 10 years, we got pretty good in the first 2 years! But completely plataued and haven't improved since haha it's embarrassing (but whatever it's for fun)
This is the video I’ve been waiting for! So much goodness with all the tips! Can’t wait to get out and try it out and awesome seeing Brodie get that 500 at the end!
First, congrats on the 500. My observation is after Drew showed you where to put the reachback and pull in a straight line, Brodie, you did it when you were going very slow. As soon as he showed you about being athletic and popping the brace, you started reaching back in a round motion and leaning in to the shot with the shoulder first. Push the reachback away from your body, get low, and lead with the elbow. I think that was the key that dropped when sped up. You'll be hitting that 550 consistently soon.
LEGGOOOOOO!!! Nice job! Great tutorial! I just went and threw in the cold rain to practice what I just learned 😂 I got a mean flick.. but my backhand is unpredictable from the tee pad.. no lie.. a simple correction in my form and I added at least 80-100 foot to my backhand drive… just now
When you hit the weights make sure to get a hold Seth Munsey with Disc Golf Strong. Keep those joints healthy and target the important musics for disc golf 💪
I wish we all had a paul, drew, Simon or eagle to work one on one with. I will be happy when I can break 350. Keep up the great work Brodie. Looking forward to seeing you on jomez soon.
Try a sub 160 weight Destiny in tourney plastic or a low weight Shryke in star plastic. These were the first discs I consistently threw 350 with, and now they are the ones that are getting me past 400 consistently, while still being controllable.
I'm gonna put it to work. Most of the holes at my home course are in the 300 range & I have some new fastest discs but they've only extended my drive by 30 feet or so. Gonna work on a longer reach back & get that hot pocket cookin 👌 thanks guys
Great video, lots of info. 11:55 I had this issue also of not throwing aggressive. Coming from ultimate frisbee you want to pass the disc to your teammates. In dg you want to rip the disc as hard as you can.
Great job Brodie! I have enjoyed watching all of your videos about your transition into disc golf. I have been playing since 1988..what a hreat sport we have. If you watch your shots through to your last one where you cranked it you might see what I did..there is a spot during your run up where it looks as if you are repositioning the disc to the angle that you want to release it AFTER your backswing is completed. On your best throw, you finally already had that angle correct before your backswing eliminating the need for that correction during your follow through. I think this small correction aided in your distance for sure. Just something to think about. Good lick to you and hope to see you in Nashville this summer! ✌🏼 ☮️ peace
Its amazing to see how much Brodie has improved since the making of this video! Your form looks so much better now, and you look way more comfortable making your distance throws. Keep up the work, keep improving, and I look forward to seeing you on some podiums in 2021!
Nice video. Simon put out a video a while back that helped me. This one has similar content but adds info. I found it helpful. Thanks Drew and Brodie for putting out useful content. Brodie makes informative videos that have a casual feel. Drew, thanks for adding a bit on how Simon differs. It would be interesting if someone put out a video breaking down how the farthest throwers (i.e., Drew, Simon, McBeth, Eagle, Gurthie, etc.) are similar and how they differ.
Had a great time out at the Memorial Championships this past week. Learned a lot and can't wait for my 1st tournament! Where did you guys play this weekend?
I love your videos man
We did some course maintenance
on our local track to get it ready for leagues :)
27 holes at Jefferson Barracks park St Louis MO. with a broken big toe. Why? Because you gotta KEEP SLINGIN THEM DISCS!!!!!!!
Ended up playing 2 rounds at cran hill and a round at pyramids over the weekend, both awesome courses in Massachusetts!
I thought you already played a tournament to get a rating?
Dude let’s go!! Thanks for having me on the channel it was a pleasure to help you out and pretty cool to watch you toss one 500ft 🔥🏹
Was awesome watching you all weekend. New fan. Gotta rock those Jordan’s every round 🔥🔥
0:03 you ok? how's your ankle feeling and how are the shoes holding up lmao. thanks for the tips, driving that back foot into the follow through is something i need to try.
Dude, I'd pay a 100 bucks for these tips Drew. You da business homie.

Drew is an absolute animal and has some of the cleanest form. Solid vid!
Good guy Drew Gibson helping out the people. Really appreciate these tips.
I really liked this video a lot. Drew seems to be a natural at teaching and explained each movement with rational purpose. More like this please
And he explains WHY we are doing certain movements, which is super helpful for beginners like me
These have been helping so much, been playing for 10 days started at +24. Yesterday threw a +8.. watching all these tips have helped me tremendously.

Brodie Smith with some good limbering yoga, especially the kind that limbers and strengthens your core and waist, I bet your form would get so smooth and strong so fast!
Drew is one of those people where his voice doesn’t match what you think it would be.
I sadly agree 🤣
100%
100% it's the same with nikko locastro
I'd say the more I hear / see him the more I think he is more likable, intellectual, and approachable than he appears on the surface. I found myself rooting for him @ the Memorial.
Pat M don’t get me wrong I love drew... it’s just funny.
Brilliant explanations Drew. "Attack the throw." Thanks to you both for puttin this out there.
The "snap" from Drew's drives is so insanely loud. He'll throw a buzz and it sounds like a high speed driver ripping out of his hands at 80mph, it's crazy to hear in person.
Also, lol at waiting for the UDisc measurement to calibrate. Such a relatable moment haha
First round of my life yesterday, made a 320ft drive on the udisc shot tracker! Very happy with that! It landed where I wanted too! Really wish I’d started playing decades ago. 😓
So glad when Drew said he's typically uses the modified fan grip. It's always been the most comfortable for me and the people who've noticed have told me that I NEED to to change my grip in order to get distance and accuracy.
I'm a OG frisbee golf player and a lifelong frisbee head I've taught thousands of people how to throw a disc and virtually every breed of dog how to catch one
I agree with everything he is saying especially the stance it it all comes from your feet,, and your stance , that correct stance not only gives you optimum balance from front to back and right to left it also gives you 180° of which to accelerate a disc, the first 90° should be off your back foot and the second 90° should be off your front foot until your release point try and keep your elbow almost level with the top of your shoulder , avoid trying to overthrow, everybody will throw a disc differently, they all have their own unique thing ,
Whenever I have a shot at the basket I like to put overspin on it with my wrist ,and controlling the distance with the correct amount of velocity from my elbow it will hover above the basket and drop straight down.
It is awesome to see how excited drew is about disc golf and just teaching how to throw far and the excitement in his voice is awesome!
I love this video. Not because I’m planning on throwing 500 feet (I average about half that distance), but because Drew finally woke me up on the follow through. I’ve played disc for 20 years, but never had anyone give me any good advice/training. I did an online lesson with Scott Stokely and didn’t get beyond footwork. Bringing that left shoulder through is a big deal. I never did it and paid with thousands of horrible throws. Now I’m working on not trying to kill every shot......
Fun fun fun learning these techniques. Thx Drew and Brodie
Thanks for getting this video out there Brodie! Drew is a hometown hero out where I live and we've always wondered what he does to throw so far 😂
Where are you at man? We should go play Rocklin!
@@TRONOFTHEDEAD I wish. I love playing Rocklin. I moved out of California at the end of last year.
This video has changed my game. Thanks so much Drew and Brodie for this video!
The point about low shots being caused by leading with your shoulder blew my mind.
This is probably the best backhand tutorial on TH-cam and I’m halfway through the video
This is an awesome video and a ton of great advice from Drew! Loving the vids and the journey
I've been playing for 10 years and max out at 380ft. Amazing progress
lmao me too buddy, me too. Me and my pals have been playing for 10 years, we got pretty good in the first 2 years! But completely plataued and haven't improved since haha it's embarrassing (but whatever it's for fun)
Crazy to watch this now, and think this is only 10 days before the world stopped moving. Brodie has come so far since this!
Drew!! You’re my favorite player! You’re awesome man, I love watching your content on TH-cam as well
This is the video I’ve been waiting for! So much goodness with all the tips! Can’t wait to get out and try it out and awesome seeing Brodie get that 500 at the end!
Drew Gibson has 3 Discs: Buzz, PD2, Luna lol His play last week was so ridiculous. I really like the content he is putting out.
Another super helpful video for this humble novice. Appreciate it, gents.
Paul places third...Brodie has new coach.
J White I’m sorry but this is funny.
Oh boy lol
Drew was tied for 4th, so he downgraded? lmao
I figured Paul needed the time off. He was limping on Sunday.
LMAO best comment I've seen in a while
Drew is the MAN! "Gotta get some vengeance in your throw" might be the best advice ive ever heard 👏👏
Randomly came across this and now want to start playing! :)
First, congrats on the 500. My observation is after Drew showed you where to put the reachback and pull in a straight line, Brodie, you did it when you were going very slow. As soon as he showed you about being athletic and popping the brace, you started reaching back in a round motion and leaning in to the shot with the shoulder first. Push the reachback away from your body, get low, and lead with the elbow. I think that was the key that dropped when sped up. You'll be hitting that 550 consistently soon.
I wish I had as much power as u guys. If I crush a drive it goes like 350’. Awesome video!
Crazy to see how far your form has come since this video. So much more power with much better consistency.
Your back leg drag is a real thing! I had the same issue as a beginner. I wore out the toe on two pair of shoes.
I tried utilizing these tips on the course today, and BAM! I easily extended my backhand about 90ft, with less effort. Thanks for sharing this video!
LEGGOOOOOO!!! Nice job! Great tutorial!
I just went and threw in the cold rain to practice what I just learned 😂
I got a mean flick.. but my backhand is unpredictable from the tee pad.. no lie.. a simple correction in my form and I added at least 80-100 foot to my backhand drive… just now
When you hit the weights make sure to get a hold Seth Munsey with Disc Golf Strong. Keep those joints healthy and target the important musics for disc golf 💪
Gibson is an excellent teacher, I like how he explains things, the same way I like the way you explain things.
90% of people would be happy with 300 plus consistently.
ty, fist between head and shoulder, really helped. Enjoyed watching final round of Memorial
I wish we all had a paul, drew, Simon or eagle to work one on one with. I will be happy when I can break 350. Keep up the great work Brodie. Looking forward to seeing you on jomez soon.
Right there with you. Been playing a decade and can consistently hit 300, but thats it : /
@@cmu2408 maybe when all this snow is gone, I will have to hit the practice field hard this year.
I feel like this is the next best thing. I'm wanting to hit a field with this video on tap.
Try a sub 160 weight Destiny in tourney plastic or a low weight Shryke in star plastic. These were the first discs I consistently threw 350 with, and now they are the ones that are getting me past 400 consistently, while still being controllable.
@@Justin-tp3lr The snows gone for me at the moment, just waiting for daylight savings in a week so I have more light after work!
I'm gonna put it to work. Most of the holes at my home course are in the 300 range & I have some new fastest discs but they've only extended my drive by 30 feet or so. Gonna work on a longer reach back & get that hot pocket cookin 👌 thanks guys
Learned a lot by watching this video. Thanks Brodie for helping all of us get these tips!
Great video, lots of info.
11:55 I had this issue also of not throwing aggressive. Coming from ultimate frisbee you want to pass the disc to your teammates. In dg you want to rip the disc as hard as you can.
one of the best explanations for distance ive seen thank you guys!
Thanks for the video. I'm new to Disc Golf and this video has been very helpful. Thank you Brodie and Drew.
This guy has to be one of the best driving coach ive ever watched. He truly is a professional at the drive.
it's quite sick how much brodie improved his distance in two years coming back to this vid
Ok I changed my grip to your modified fan and I can't go back. It just feels right for me. I love you.
Great job Brodie! I have enjoyed watching all of your videos about your transition into disc golf. I have been playing since 1988..what a hreat sport we have. If you watch your shots through to your last one where you cranked it you might see what I did..there is a spot during your run up where it looks as if you are repositioning the disc to the angle that you want to release it AFTER your backswing is completed. On your best throw, you finally already had that angle correct before your backswing eliminating the need for that correction during your follow through. I think this small correction aided in your distance for sure. Just something to think about. Good lick to you and hope to see you in Nashville this summer! ✌🏼 ☮️ peace
Its amazing to see how much Brodie has improved since the making of this video! Your form looks so much better now, and you look way more comfortable making your distance throws. Keep up the work, keep improving, and I look forward to seeing you on some podiums in 2021!
Nice video. Simon put out a video a while back that helped me. This one has similar content but adds info. I found it helpful. Thanks Drew and Brodie for putting out useful content. Brodie makes informative videos that have a casual feel. Drew, thanks for adding a bit on how Simon differs. It would be interesting if someone put out a video breaking down how the farthest throwers (i.e., Drew, Simon, McBeth, Eagle, Gurthie, etc.) are similar and how they differ.
