Good succinct video without any BS. The table tip I got from JohnE McCray for thowing backhand, the L64 guys refer to it as "stroking the board" which they mention in a putting tutorial vid.
As a former forehand bomber, smooth and flat are way easier on the inner muscles of the forearm. The table drill is one I never considered, nice tip for sure. I getting old...and my arm is definitely seeing the effects of 20 years and I couldn't make it through the entire season without injury. No more 400' throws for me. Now I stick with my forehand Zone approach and the occasional crush with the Crave of all discs. My longest this season was a 405' bomb setting me up for an eagle look on a par 5. Those shots are few and far between. But a reliable and accurate 300' is all you really need on a forehand.
@@theoneandonlystanima7018 I played tennis for about 15 years, year round. I'm terrified of injury, especially playing a game in not paid to do, haha. So I'm NEVER throwing above like 80%. It keeps things extra smooth too.
This is interesting stuff! I've only been playing a year and if I have to throw a forehand, it's a bit of a small flicking motion to get spin with a little push.
Very helpful to visualize the proper form, brace, and follow through. I've got friends who roll their wrist, but I don't find that helpful. Using under-stable discs can only work with smooth release. I really like the idea of sliding the disc across a table; that's a great tip 👍
interesting. I started out with positioning the feet like you do but then had everybody telling me including most utube tutorials that the front foot faces forward towards the target. how did you make the decision to keep a stance like you do? Im seriously thinking about doing my old stance again as it felt more comfortable.
@@StarCraftNoobTrainer I forgot to explain it, but I do put pressure on my front heel so I can rotate. I personally keep my foot sideways on standstills because it keeps my hips from opening too soon
@@jeremyhays9433 I briefly mention it. It's hard to say because everyone's perspective on how firm something is is different. The best way to explain it is I stretch my hand out as much as I can, push the disc into my middle finger/meat of my thumb, and then relax my hand. The friction of the grand relaxing is all the grip I need. Mildly firm fingers, loose wrist!
-Use a stacked grip by pressing middle finger into edge of disc -Start with a neutral to understable 5ish speed -Make a straight line from reach back (not behind back) to target -Load on back leg and smoothly transition to front leg during throw -Reduce wobble by throwing smoothly & nose down -Focus on smooth spin
this doesn't show how you get 400ft. this sounded more like a beginner guide to forehand. I'd like to see what you figure out to go from like 300ft or so to then 400ft.
@@adamlassen1185 The very first throw is 400ft. All of what I was doing lead to that ~250ft Buzzz shot. And then... Throw a driver. I swear that's it. For almost a year I only threw either spike hyzer forehands for mid range shots.
I'm currently on a path to 400+, I was 250 a year ago, I'm 350 now. You need more arm and core strength. I have been doing throw specific strength training and I feel like I'm doing the same thing but the disc goes so much further. Have you ever been in a cast? You lose an amazing amount of strength in those 9 weeks. I'd dare say you can lose strength at the same rate you can gain strength. If you throw a lot more you gain some strength, if you do weight training you gain much more faster. The best gains come from the least fun, field work, putting practice, and weight training
@@brandonstevens1832 Ask any pro on tour who the top 5 FH on tour is and I promise both Jerm and Nate will be in the top 5 ;) I'd say top three if it were 2021.

Currently developing my forehand , thank you for the information.
This is golden!

The table thing helped me a lot. Thank you.
If I don't think about it i overturn mine like 50% of the time!

@@pineapplesaucedaboss great place to start! That's mostly what I meant in the section where I talk about a short reachback

@@texcll That swing thought of the table is honestly the most useful swing thought I have come up with. It helped my aim immensely
thanks. very nicely explained
Thank ya
Good stuff!
I have been teaching the “table” analogy for 30+ years… mostly for a backhand but it works for a lot of throws…
i can throw 600ft in a good tailwind on backhand.. we should collab sometime bcuz i need to get my sidearm distance up!

Is this Stokely approved??? But seriously, great video.
@@outdoorenthusiastenl4907 haha thank you. I took a lot of ques from him!
can you talk about your thumb placement and how much pressure you are using. Are you really locking it into meat of your hand

That staggered, perpendicular lead foot really helped with getting a good release! Very helpful. Thanks dude! You get my “like” and “sub.”

@@pineapplesaucedaboss more or less. Heh (but I do go over most of the grips, everyone is different)
@@crunchy_dg1191 it's a struggle for me 😂

Your front foot is very closed. I've noticed most pros open that foot up a lot more toward the target.
@@kevinkingmaker7395 It's mostly a standstill thing, some do it and some dont. And if you notice I rotate on my heel as I throw
Forehand is painful!!!!!
Slow is smooth, smooth is far. I NEVER throw over 80% power forehands. I'm not about to get injured doing something that isn't my job! haha
Jerm and Nate aren't the best FH players =/
Good video otherwise =]
@@brandonstevens1832 Ask any pro on tour who the top 5 FH on tour is and I promise both Jerm and Nate will be in the top 5 ;)
I'd say top three if it were 2021.
