I heard McBeth say something similar in the past, build power first then work on accuracy. Point being an whatever "accuracy" you've built is going to get destroyed once you start changing your form for more power.
I have watched your videos from day 1 thank you for your honesty and candor, breaking it down from the heart. The passion for form is the right of passage we all must go through to get the numbers we want. The quest for form is for the few.
Hey. I'm somewhat new to disc golf. I'm 100% all in the sport! I'm going to do a disc golf challenge where I practice 6 days a week for a few hours a days. some days might be longer or for 90 days. I have a tech disc and 2 baskets in my heated garage. I'm a 43 year old that is in shape haha. 5'11, 168lbs so I'm ready to go physically just so you know my physically abilities. I'm am also more on the athletic side. I'm saying all this because I feel it will be a fantastic video series and to show 40+ year olds can progress and pick up the sport. I don't see any video progressions that show that. I feel 40+ people will get invested in the series and be great content. So I'm checking in a few youtubes that I like and I feel I would work well if you want to be apart of this. I would want some coaching and I would be recording my progress however you feel is best and you can post the series however you want. Not looking for any kick back with money or anything just to help others..cheers
A tip for those who are reaching for high numbers and fast results like myself. I have recently realized this. Develop a well timed standstill with putters to work on the skill, and develop full form on xstep (slow or fast). It will be easier for the brain and body to separate the two. A complete standstill and xstep are differently timed anyway, so you will have a different type of shot in the arsenal in the future. Because honestly. Being in constant form change is mentally exhausting after months and months. And if you hit the course, only use the standstill form and stick to that arsenal while on the course. Putter rounds on standstill is great skill practice. Throwing a putter relaxed from standstill with great timing easily gives you 300 feet just to put things in perspective. And you can use the skill training as your warmup session and make everything a bit more fun. That's my tip.
This comment will probably get buried but I had a thought while cooking and wanted to share. I had an oven mitt on and was working on my backhand form. I felt like if you're rounding the oven mitt stays on. But if you manage to pull through correctly and not round the oven mitt flies off. Would be interesting if anyone else decided to try this and could share their experience.
I'll be completely honest.. I've played for two years and started out throwing ~300ft FH and ~250 BH. I'm not a freak athlete, I'm out of shape, I do not throw with a power pocket, and my form and footwork are atrocious but I've hit over 70mph and 500ft on the tech disc which is why I think there's another aspect missing in the distance formula. My regular golf shots go anywhere from 340ft to 440ft and my max distance shots push anywhere from 350ft to 530ft (on flat, minimal wind) depending on how I get ahold of the disc. Backleg is not straight. So I think you're onto something, there.
How to I get baseball and disc golf to click? I batted lefty in college and throw a right arm backhand. Ive been playing disc golf for less than a year but can’t throw more than 300-320ft
Im stuck throwing 350 ft frozen ropes at 700 rpms,,, Add Good Mornings in to your exercise routine ,but make sure your back is feeling good before you do. Back problems will be a thing of the past. They can be done standing or horizontal of you have the equipment.
Well you have a very high spin rate for 55-60mph which means the disc flies flatter for longer. Most of the numbers on tech disc aren’t particularly useful to form improvement, to your point they’re skill tweaks. Your perceived effort to arm speed, and the spin you get on that speed definitely is though.
Great video coach! Super helpful information!
Now get yourself over there and smash some techdisc.
Very impressive numbers! Fun to have played with you and seen the real life data too!

Simon said the same thing.
Great video! It is interesting how spin generally went down as your arm speeded up

Love the insight! Great breakdown on what the tech disc should be used for and how to set your expectations with it.
Informative as always coach T 💯 great vid! 🔥

75 is a really fast throw, congrats!
yeah, but most pro speed is about 70 mph for approach shots it's just crazy how good form they most have.

Is it good sign if I got the worst charlie horse of my life in my left calf throwing a disc

Interesting that the spin rate is lower on higher speed, and higher on lower speed, yin o yang, so there is a balace between the 2 👍
Burning_man 🙂
Very very sexy man in this video. Hes like fabio mixed with Brett Favre
Says a guy without pro form lol.
75 mph, 291 feet.
Ain't that the truth, man.
😂
