"...in the fat of my palm"
Inaccurate. This man has no fat.
😂😂
It’s the beans
@@jakellis1493 💯
Haha he means where the fat on a mortal human would be lol
Ezra is clearly a T-800 sent here from the future to destroy your confidence on the golf course.
😂🤣
You're becoming a go-to for disc golf tutorials. Seems like you have one for literally every aspect of the game - keep it up!
Keep it up man. You've been nailing a lot of questions for people.
Also, would love a vid about how good technique physically FEELS. Like which muscles feel loaded, or where the torque feels built up and how to get there.
Excellent suggestion. As someone who has reached a confident place with my dg, I find a lot of beginners benefit from generalized feel/flow/instinct/timing descriptions that avoid too many "technique" details.
That's a great idea! I think it might be a very difficult thing for me to describe tho, I still might take a crack at it sometime 🤷♂️
For me, that would be soooo difficult to describe. Like at first I honestly felt like there wasn’t a feeling. Maybe it is subtle. I was thinking back to when I was messing around and intentionally mimicking bad form (rounding, bad timing etc) and I definitely know it feels different. Also, some things feel right for me but isn’t the correct technique by far. Just food for thought.
I saw a post similar to this on reddit, but they mentioned that Lifting has certain feelings you get when you do it correctly. The only thing I have experienced like this was diving into pools. When you do it correctly, you go quicker through the water and it feels like the water is moving over you better.
@@micah_lee For me, I think there is an explosive feeling when I leave the power pocket, especially because my body is rotating so fast and the disc is leaving the power pocket so fast.
Hey Ezra! Been playing discgolf for about a year now and I love it! Thanks for posting videos like these, where rookies like me can pick up a few things to get a better learning curve! Keep doing what you do :)
I love how everyone loves you, man! It's so cool to see everyone encouraging a pro without any haters in the mix! Always supporting you, dog.
Dude it's insane how positive everyone is!! Super grateful for the positive vibes for sure🤙. I appreciate that bro!
Thank you Ezra!
I didn’t know where that snap sound from releasing a disc came from in the hand until now😊
You rock Ezra! I've been thinking a lot about grip lately.
Great instruction. I’ve only played a few times right now and this is so helpful!
Always super helpful tips!
I'm digging all the content you've been putting out lately, my man! Keep it up and keep the content coming!
Good to hear🙌
Great video- nice tips!! Best cover by far
This video just helped me teach 2 of my friends what makes a disc golf grip different than a frisbee grip! Thank you!!!!
Dope!
Great vid as always Ezra!
Thanks for this. I really enjoy your videos. Keep them coming please.
I’ve always wanted to throw grenade shots but it felt so awkward with my thumb. Thank you for teaching this technique, feels way better. Also fantastic video as always.
🙌
The video I’ve been waiting for 🙏
Greatest Game Ever Played. Nice reference, great video. Best explanation of grips I have seen!
🤙
Concise !! Great no BS videos! I’m subscribed , thank you
Glad you enjoyed!
For a long time, I used a three-finger grip for backhands. For righty flicks, I used one finner. For lefty flicks, gun grip two finner.
You d'man Ezra. Great tutorial!
Your videos are great, very helpful for anyone. When i first started playing in 95 i could not throw a power grip, so i started with 2 fingers. You just have no control but u can get alot of spin on the disc. Now i do the 3 finger..
Very informative. Great technique video
Always good stuff!!!
Thanks for this video. I was hoping for it. 👍
thanks again for the tips and tricks.
I noticed today that I throw nose up sometimes I believe due to an imbalance of when the disc last touches my fingers beneath the rim versus my thumb on top. I feel it's important to make sure your thumb last touches at the same time or after your other fingers to keep it nose down. I feel like the nuance of exactly how the disc rips out, off which fingers and when exactly during the whip action is never talked about in form videos... It's very fast, but imbalance in grip position and strength is also a huge factor in off axis torque at release.
probably because it's hard to teach
Got to pay attention to this, makes sense and could be the reason why mine sometimes want to go high instead of far.
Thanks Ezra. I like the grenade grip little different than Eagle. Keep the videos coming.
"I feel like I'm not squeezing that hard..." ---disc snaps in half---
😂😂
Glad I found this video. The grips work well for me
Love learning the grenade grip! I've been trying to throw them and I was doing it completely wrong lol. Nice to have an idea of how the shots supposed to be thrown
🙌
13.3k and climbing steadily. Keep up the content man! Keep chasing the dream!
🙌 it's crazy man!! Thanks!
Awesome video. I have been wondering what I should be doing.
Thanks for confirming my pinky theory, lol. I started using that a few months ago and it's much more consistent.
This man is fit AF. Also love the vids!
🤙
Yes definitely a great video
On point🤘🏼
It would be awesome if you made a video about workouts that are good for discgolf!
Definitely plan on making video(s) about how I workout
You make great videos
Thanks! Any tips for avoiding joint pain in finger(s)? Holding too tight perhaps? And how to train for stronger fingers/protect joints? I root for you this year, you deserve to win many big tournaments with your dedication to the sport and community!
Honestly not sure, just recently tho I have experienced a bit of this as well. Thanks!!
@@EzraAderholdDG Well not that surprised since you bomb 600ft, gotta stress the body at some points. I saw that Eagle sometimes tape fingers but I don't think that is due to joints, just to protect the skin from not ripping apart. I suggest you ask around (other pro players etc), don't let the joint problem get worse if it starts to emerge often. I can not currently throw drivers with backhand power grip, have to use a fan grip or throw side arm. Good luck and stay healthy!!
Adjusted my backhand grip a bit and added 15 yards. Thanks Ezra
Let's go dude!!
Easy peasy lemon squeezy!
Two things. One, congrats on the big win this weekend. That eagle on 4 was sick. Two, quit flexing on us.
💪 💪 💪
Thanks man!! It was super exciting!!
🤣🤣...oops
The Grenade is going to work out for me the same way you throw it. Thanks for the tip !
Dope!
Every grip is a gun grip with Ezra 😆 💪
That thumbnail is amazing!
🙌
That live bird reference was really good. Although idk the movie. But if you are holding a bird, you are gripping it tight so that you don’t lose the bird, but not so much that you crush it to death.
Exactly! Greatest game ever played. Its a golf movie, great movie
Me: Studying grips closely, "Nice. Nice."
Wife: Studying how Ezra's biceps bulge every time he turns his wrist, "Nice. Nice."
😂😂🤣
I love this guy.....man I'm sucking at my home course... It's og oak Grove the low ceilings give me so much trouble
I really want to see Ezra and Simon make a video together. If Discmania will get this man some dang beans, it could happen!
For sure!!! 🤣🤣🌱
I’ve been playing a few years and can hyzerflip flippy discs backhand 300-325, but I put my thumb real close to the rim...I know I gotta fix it, but it feels so weird to have it where I should! Guess I just need to keep trying... Really like your videos- to the point and easy to understand:)
Any change feels uncomfortable at first🤙
I too get my thumb ripped apart throwing grenades with my thumb on the rim. Gonna have to try the other grip! Thanks!
🙌
Lookin yolked ! Inspiring !
🤙
great video! would love to see a form video on your forehand approaches with putters and midranges. cant get mine to stop wobbling :/
Check out Tristan Tanner's youtube channel!
Greatest game ever played
Well said
I think it's super dope the way you used keeping your arm like a noodle. The handful of times I've ever "coached" someone I've used the same food. The more your arm is like a noodle the less you'll noodle arm your throw. 🤣🤣🤷
Haha right!
Love your vids been watching alot of them, and The greatest game ever played, advice from Harry Vardon to a very young Francis Ouimet
Sweet!! Yessir you are correct!
The Greatest Game Ever Played! Easy peasie.
🤙
Killed it again Ezra love the knowledge you share.
The way i describe the grip in the palm of power grip to new players who are throwing nose up is to put the rim of the disc in the crease of your palm that is closest to your thumb
I'd like to see a grenade video and include a few different examples of when you feel like it's the best choice for the throw! Maybe some different stability disc's thrown in the open to see shot selection?
Great idea!!! Thanks!
Nice thumbnail. I can appreciate the creativity
Thanks!
I have never done power grip. Always used accurate grip for everything and could never get the speed needed for distance drivers.
These thumbnails just keep getting better
🙌
That's a dope thumbnail!
Thanks brotha!
Have you ever used a diamond from Latitude 64 for grenades? Its so cool... it flips all the way to flat and flies.
I haven't but I've seen Tristan throw that shot, it's insane lol
Thanks for the tip, I’m gonna try that tomorrow
@@br84268 It's super fun
I need to try out that grenade grip!
Its great! I actually learned it from Kevin Jones and Joel Freeman
The pinky against the rim of the disk is interesting, contradicts what I've seen other pros say (get pinky away from edge).
For putting it's mostly a feel thing, I feel like the pinky gives added stability. Eagle also has a very similar grip to me
Harry Vardon taught his famous Vardon grip to a young Francis Ouimet in the greatest game ever played. Told him to hold the club like he was holding a live bird...
Easy peasy lemon squeezy
"Hey guys I'm Ezra with team look at my muscles! I'm talking about throwing discs"
😂😂
Bro, content is top notch, but I can’t watch these vods with my wife..🤣😂
Keep on killing it! 🤘🏻🙌🏻
😂😂
@Eric Triplett 🤣, KJ is the man!
Not to make a spectacle of it but I love the way you speak
Hey thanks!
The best analogy I've heard for years is a tube of toothpaste. My dad raised me pretty much in a golf cart. He said you squeeze it like you would a tube of toothpaste. Because what happens when you squeeze too hard, toothpaste comes out, what can never fully go back into the tube, he also used it as a metaphor for saying things we don't mean, when we're mad.
I'm having a big issue with my grip so I came here. I use the typical power grip, however, the disc wobbles out of my hand and it doesn't spin as much. Do you know what my problem might be?
Great stuff as usual. Could you please do a video on how you throttle power while keeping good form, this escapes me
I'm kind of the wrong guy to ask this but recently for up shots I've started shorting my reach back and focusing more on spin. Other than that just try slowing everything down throughout the throw
@@EzraAderholdDG Thanks for the advice, I will try it out.
@@stevenelliottjr.4013 Philo Brathwaite has a video on doing fieldwork and he talks about instead of focusing on powering down just try to make everything as smooth as possible. This has worked for me and improved my scramble by a lot. After practicing it for a weekend I started consistently shooting under par.
@@augustprice7550 I will check it out, thanks.
Hmmmm, ive never tried using my pinky before on my fan grip. Idk if it will bend like that, lol
Id be curious to know why you dont use thumbers?
For me i like them, but only with the right disc, and the right shot. Its not always a frequently used tool, really depends on the course too
Another great video, Ezra! When you are throwing a putter 300+ feet do you still use the same fan grip as you would for a putt?
Yes I do! For me using a power grip on anything less than like an 8 speed feels weird, especially putters!
@@EzraAderholdDG Right on! Makes perfect sense given the shape of the disc! Thanks for answering and also for posting such helpful content!
Absolutely I'm glad you enjoy it!!
So your finger tips on the power grip are not pressed into the rim? Finger prints are pressed against the rim instead right.
Greatest Game Ever Played ;)
Yessir!!
I’ve been trying to throw more putters, but I’ve been using a power grip and I always have them dump down right for me (RHBH). Do you think I would have a better flight if I only changed the grip?
Definitely worth trying!
Liking this just for the thumbnail
Haha nice!
YT Algorithm be appeased! Stoked to see where you sign next year! Hopefully you'll have a kitchen on wheels for all the rice and beans you could want!
🤙. I'm excited too man! Hahaha we can ask for that in the contracts😂
the reference was to the greatest game ever played
Indeed🤙
Haven't seen that since it was first on tv. Thanks for the reference!
whoop whoop
This vid was just for the gun show 😂 kidding, thanks for the tips!
😂😂🤷♂️🤣
I have small hands so I only use 3 fingers instead of 4 for power grip I just leave my pinky tucked in my palm. Do you think this is bad practice? I consistently get a snap with 3 finger but can almost never get it with 4.
3 finger is fine as long as it's not slipping out prematurely. I think Drew Gibson does or used to do it this way
Do you take your basket apart and put it back together when you travel with it? I find it annoying as hell to carry mine to the field outside my house everytime I practice lol
I do, kind of the only way it fits. It kind of is for sure lol. Its a lot easier to transport when it's made vs when it's apart
hey Ezra, Whats on your finger? Do you tape the middle? If so why and what kind of tape?
Also interested in the tape on middle finger. Please explain.
I've never thrown a grenade, but I recently saw KJUSA tearin it up at NWA with the grenade. I'm curious as to what the right kind of disc to throw for it is.
Kj mentioned that he uses a super stable driver to get it straight up and straight down
Yep, usually really overstable is better since flippy will go up and then actually tail off the left
“Make a gun with my fingers, stick it in there” 3:40 lmaoooo
😂😂😬, you know I try to make family friendly videos but it's not always possible 🤣
I need the tape, my fingers hurt after ripping two rounds
y this dude so ripped
Any tips to increase the muscle mass of my chest?
Beans
Good diet and consistently workout, hit chest 2-3 times a week. I try to use weight that gets me close to failure at like 7-12 reps for everything
I notice when I throw forehand consistently I tend to get a little spot on my middle finger where its getting tore up. How do I stop that. My grip has always been exactly the same as yours. I just somehow can never stop it from happening.
You could try using electrical tape possibly, that's what I use for backhand
@@EzraAderholdDG Gotcha! I deff noticed that on your finger. I guess it makes sense. Better than gloves XD
@@bryceconfer3110 haha for sure
What’s the tape for have your middle finger?
He uses electrical tape.
I get a callus without it
I'm actually curious, what kind of pants do you wear when on tour? I'm not really a shorts guy and need some decent disc golf pants that aren't Levi's 511 jeans hahahaha.
Golf pants are great! I really like the under armour and adidas ones that I have. (Adidas in this video). I like the lightness and stretchiness of them
@@EzraAderholdDG that seems like just the ticket. Thank you!
@@maxguitarhero 🤙
That thumbnail: immovable object vs unstoppable force
😂😂
I liked the greatest game ever played reference
Glad you caught it!
@@EzraAderholdDG I’m assuming you’re a golfer yourself. You, me and, Justin should play golf while you’re in the area. I’m on the liberty disc golf team by the way.
Congrats on Belton Open..round 2 ,1089 wow
Thank you!!!
