Paul does such a good job explaining his thoughts/ideas. Clear and confident, Super helpful.
I believe that that type of articulation and attention to detail are signs of the type of intelligence necessary to navigate a course like a game of chess. To be honest with oneself and have a clear game plan are paramount to playing well at that level.
Its so sad that Paul will never be able to win the award for most improved player.
This comment is gold
Yes he can but the other players would not like it. 😁
If he starts throwing lefty perhaps
Not even sad. Lol those aren’t awards for goats. 😆
Tyler Bruce yes
“I wasn’t whipping them super hard” and then throws 400 ft shots
I've been playing for 10 years and I can barely throw 290'. We taught a buddy of mine and within two weeks he was throwing almost 400'. You either get it or you don't, and I think if you don't you can't. I don't know anymore. :(
@@Nitron2097 Hey, if you put in the effort and think you can do it, you can. Before I started playing disc golf I didn’t even think I’d be able to throw a disc. I tell my friends who say that they can’t make a putt that they won’t make it if they don’t think they can. Keep at it and look at the progress, not the end goal.
@@cohenoberg1607 I totally agree with you on this one. When I first started, I wasn't getting any better than five on a par three and I got SUPER frustrated all the time. But as time has gone on and the more I have practiced, I can now par just about every hole that is a par 3 regardless of distance, obstacles, etc. Am I where I want to be (eventually)? No - but I look back and see the progress that I've made and then I feel entirely better and happy with that. :)
The key to throwing 400 feet is not to whip it super hard. It's to have the right angle on the disc (enough nose up that it'll fly well, but not so much that it just keeps climbing and eventually hyzers way off line) and to get as many revs on the disc as possible.
You can throw a disc as hard as you can, but if it's not spinning quickly, it's not going to fly far.
Angle and spin are way more important than just putting lots of muscle behind the shot.
@@williamdowling7718 very true! If you get that down (not saying that I have yet) I think you’ll also find that you will have more accurate shots and less arm pain because you’re not putting as much raw strength into the shot while neglecting technique.
Non-stop insights from the best player in the world. Jon just quietly ripping right-handed and left-handed shots like it's nothing. Never get tired of watching disc flights. Hannah holdin down filming + hosting duties. Awesome all around. Thanks all of you for these videos!
When will we see video of the McBeth Backyard Monster Course?
I like what he said at the end about working on the weakest part of your game to get better. Reminds me of the inchworm concept of improvement. When you focus on only the best parts you raise your ceiling just a little bit, but the floor doesn’t change. Raising the low end will add consistency and allows the upper end to progress faster as well because there is less tension between the two ends.
"forehand is always needed dont forget that"
James Conrad entered The chat:
Actually james conrad and gg have been working on forehand because they realized it's needed in the game. Wasn't needed as much 10 years ago but the game has changed so much. A too level pro should comfortably throw forehand/backhand/roller from the tee, in the field, or in utility shots.
After 20 years of playing disc golf I just started working on throwing sidearm/forehand
@@Donaldstoner James threw some great touch forehands with his night strike at the DGPT finals.
@@leksasdf yeah he's actually getting good at it. You can tell he's been practicing. Can't wait to see him after this off season
@@aaronmayhew2.0 Same. I've always thrown anhyzers but I've realized I need to develop more than an approach sidearm
okay, so if I'm stupid, whatever, but I could watch Paul throw all day, especially when he comments on what he's doing. I get so much out of what he says. (Spoiler alert, he is the best in the world after all :)))
Nutrition is very important. What does a 5X pro eat throughout the day and what is your normal daily workout routine to keep in top form?
only chicken breasts and water
@@nolangherity and the tears of his opponents
I'd love to see a conditioning video. Types of exercises Paul/Hannah do in the off time or even during season, etc.
I come from that baseball background, but I got the backhand immediately because it was like a baseball swing, the forehand isn't coming as quickly, I think this is due to me in baseball trying to break the habit of throwing sidearm. How can I fix this and strengthen my forehand?
That sneeze scared the hell out of me. Lol.
I'm actually watching this a few hours before I plan on going to the field, thanks for the tips! Will remember
Great video. I like the fact that it wasn’t a commercial for which discs I should throw. I see so many pros telling us to throw discs that are way to fast for us beginners.
Thanks Paul, Jon and Hannah. Can't wait to see Paul out competing again. When will Jon start competing?
I plan on playing some tournaments in 2021. Having a day job keeps me from competing as much as I want to.
Paul has been a pioneer in advancing Disc Golf to legitimacy and beyond!!
I really like this format. Lots of great information and we get to see how we can train better by example. Thank you.
The one issue with the description of the backhand as "the same mechanics as a baseball swing" is that it's reversed for most people. A right handed batter would swing like they were throwing left hand backhand.
So it's kind of like learning how to be a switch hitter. It's reversing the mechanics which can be super tricky.
Could you give some tips on Disc/ Shot selection in the wind?
God bless you Hanna @9:26 q:-)
I like watching the discs come in and how you answered all the questions with multiple answers.
Hey Paul & Gang thanks for the vid. Could you give us a run down on your fan grip? Having trouble with mine not feeling stable in the hand, lack of touch, and power. As a result I'm still using a power grip or leaning on my forehand for approach.
I would like to know some insight on disc selection. What are all the factors that you go through when deciding what disc to throw for a particular shot? When you have a vulture and an Anax that fly pretty similar how are you making the call on which one to throw for a shot that you could throw both?
Side note: a video on what goes into you making a new disc in your line, seems like a cool process and some inside information would be cool to know.
I’m super curious to know Jon’s thought process and decision making when trying to determine if he should throw lefty, righty, righty forehand, turnover shots, etc. Also, what is the difference in his abilities between left and right?
I can’t speak for John, but there’s a local guy near me who has FH/BH with both hands. His theory is that a forehand pushes straighter and then fades more abruptly, and a backhand makes a nice gradual fade the entire way. So they wind up in the same spot, but the backhand will “cut the corner” and the forehand will go out and around.
Also something about wind, but I didn’t really understand that part tbh haha
@@mattsnyder4754 makes sense. Forehand throws have less spin so they fall out of the sky faster
@@subspaceanomaly also. I’m decidedly NOT ambidextrous, but I do find it easier to throw hyzers on a backhand and anhyzers on a forehand. Just seems like a bit more natural of a mechanic.
I dropped RHFH in favour of LHBH. It was easier to get a consistent flight and I had a lot of elbow issues with RHFH. I still use RHFH for control upshots but nothing over 150ft.
How does throwing up or downhill affect your release/timing? And how do you correct that?
I would say basically it doesn't affect timing, but it changes the direction of your runup. Like if I'm throwing uphill I want to start from right and end left, then for downhill I'll start on the left side of the pad and end on the right. It also forces you to change the start Y axis on the pull, so that you start high and end low on downhill or vice versa for high, which feels super awkward when you first start doing it, but you'll get it.
Under stable for uphill
Throwing up would probably mess up my release and timing pretty severely.
Jon, are you a dominant lefty or righty? Did you learn the other hand to shape shots or are you just a motor skill savant?
Nice Vlog!
Love this instructional format. As a new player to the sport just watching Paul throwing shots is mesmerising. It's all so smooth and seemingly effortless.
That last second of your throwing motion before the disc leaves your hand is so fast and violent...other than just thousands of reps, how do you build that speed and explosiveness?
Right?! Its like a gunshot: plant foot, reach back, KABLAMMO! so much energy released so quickly like a coiled spring.
His hips and shoulders are what are exploding, which is what causes the arm to whip so violently, you don’t explode with arm or hand, you explode by rotating your back hip forward, which pulls your disc into the power pocket and then all that energy whips your am, and you follow through, the more explosiveness in your hips, the faster you whip that arm
Hey Paul! How should I build my first disc lineup? Cheaper plastics? Harder plastics? Quantity over quality? Diverse numbers or narrowed down?
WOW! Thanks for sharing your fieldwork and answering the questions. You and Hannah are doing a great job with the videos! John’s not so bad either!!
That statement about how backhand form is very similar to a left-handed baseball swing is a SUPER underrepresented technical idea in disc golf. The focus has always been on the straight reachback, then the straight pull through with a late "snap." For some, this "feel" works just fine, depending on body type, etc. But Paul's feel of the reachback being less significant, and using that controlled "extension-in-front-of-you," just like a baseball swing will be revolutionary for some. I've been working with this philosophy for a while now, and my ability to be more focused on my target, and to "eject" the disc with more control is markedly improved, with much simpler "action." Now, I'm working on getting my top-end power back, and I'm already confident my distance will be greater.
bless you @ 9:30
Thanks again Paul and Hannah for making this video. Even though I am a seasoned player I still find these videos very helpful. Field work is an important part of the game and watching you practice helps me with release points and form.
Question for Jon! I'm a LHBH/RHFH kind of guy, and that's no use. Is there a way to better learn to throw with the other arm? I wanna learn LHFH since I'm left handed, but I just hurt myself trying
Wait...what is this? I have no clue how or why TH-cam put this into my recommended videos, but I'm glad it did. I had no clue this was an actual thing that grown ups did for recreation.
Is McBeast looking beyond disc golf & trying out for the Harlem Globetrotters @ 12:00? 🏀
Still feel like I can watch this kinda stuff for hours. One-line side comments from players at Paul's level can unlock a lot of age-old questions for non-pros. Sooo thanks for taking the time to show and tell :) I'm with the few comments about disc availability - Paul, you need to talk to Discraft! :D Can't buy your discs if they're not available. I wouldn't mind seeing another 'round with Paul' - just a round of golf where he talks about what he's thinking on the course. Include Jon, too. Just not a 4-some as it gets to be too much. It's fun to hear how others approach the game and frequently educational when Paul discusses shots, lies, etc. He's already thrown a couple of one-liners like "if your lie is on a downhill slope, you tend to rotate faster, so be conscious of that in your walk up and throw." Opposite for an uphill stance. A lot of what is now obvious to Paul are things we may not have consciously thought about but are super helpful for us to actually consider to help us improve :D Stay safe all. Thanks, Hannah for the great production. Remember, the more of these you do, the more practice you get and the more accomplished you become - it's a win-win!
Really appreciate the content of this video. Could you cover any stretching or other warmup you do before fieldwork or rounds? You did mention not throwing as hard as you can right away. I've noticed I need to start with easy throws and work up to harder throws or my hand will hurt. If there's any kind of stretching or other pre-throw movements that can help I'd love to know! Thanks!
This is my favorite type of content you put out.
bless you hannah 9:26
I live about 20 mins from a field that has a 4 baskets, and a couple tee pads. Each basket are 100'ft apart and go out to 400'ft. Its awesome for field work
Great video. If you are taking video ideas, one similar to the blind build a bag: a disc draft form a limited pool of discs, some awful some good. Loser of each hole gets to take a disc from a winner.
What are some of the best exercises for getting in "Disc golf shape?" Do you like to use elastic bands for training like baseball players?
Baseball players are pretty jacked
Type in "disc golf strong" on TH-cam and you'll see so many things to do
Rotational power is good, and general strength is of course good.
@@name7892 I have a 15lb shot put that I throw sometimes.
Get an actual field disc from track and field. Throw it like a disc golf disc. Strengthens the fingers for grip and all the core throwing muscles.(if your form is good)
Putting Tutorial would be awesome and also what your thoughts are when you throw your forehand?
If he were to do putting, I would love to hear him talk about the way it comes off of his hand (like quantify it)
Eagle put out a pretty good video on putting yesterday, although there are different styles out there so what works for one person might not work for another.
great video, this is something thats really helpful. It would also be rad in your other videos to not just tell us what disc your using on shots but also why. Thanks for all the help brotha
Thanks for this video. Really good stuff. For field work, I've found that the enjoyable part is when something finally "clicks" and starts working. That, to me, is very satisfying. I do have a couple of questions ... (1) (for Jon) How did you go about starting to work on both left and right-handed throws? (2) (for Jon) Do you find it more advantageous to be ambidextrous for throwing/shaping shots versus just throwing forehand and backhand throws (e.g., would you rather throw a left-handed forehand or right-handed backhand?)? (3) (for all) You mind going over to the left side of the field over to hole 6's basket and looking for a blue Z-line Wasp that I lost there a couple months back? :-)
Thanks again for these videos. I can personally vouch for how genuine both you and Hannah are and your willingness to help others as you both have personally helped my son at Liberty with tips and instruction (which he then uses on me when he comes home and tells me what I'm doing wrong). While I haven't been able to thank you in person, I do thank you from afar. God bless you both and thank you so much!
Great video! Love these type of vids
Love these types of videos. Really informative and great quality. Thanks Paul! ❤️
Paul, thanks for picking up the impact. When you first made the switch to Discraft and asked what discs you should try I gave the impact a shout out because for a long time I have felt like it was one of the most underrated discs in disc golf. Hopefully you starting to use them will make them more readily available. Unfortunately I missed out on the swirly ESP release on Foundation so I hope that eventually Discraft will jave them on their site.
If you don't have a good forehand throw and you are trying to throw to a basket that's dog leg right, do you prefer to use an understable disc and let it do the work or do you use a stable disc and throw anhyzer?
Actually helped a lot. Thanks a lot. I love watching these videos to actually see how disc fly. Being in wisconsin and the cold weather I can’t always get out to see flight lines. Keep it up love your work!
Man I could watch Paul throw for hours. His form is just so damn buttery. It'd be nice to see this footage in slow-mo.
Love this! I want to gain more distance so I’ll be adding this routine to my field work!
Jon, do you have specific discs for RH/LH or do you choose which hand to throw based on the situation?
Super helpful with some great advice! good job guys!
How do you strategize for events off the course and do you keep written records of you disc performance?
Paul, what is the best way of practicing forehand without throwing out your arm?
Learning from one of the greatest disc golfers in the world is great and all, but where is the McLaren?
How different is the new impact from the original run
When throwing midranges/putters, do you try to throw them with the same nose angle / elevation as your drivers?
And the guy to the left just swappin between lefty n righty like it's nuthin yo.
The last few videos you guys have uploaded have been top notch quality, good content, and nice editing. Keep up the good work!
Hey guys, Thanks for uploading, and sharing great content on field work. I was wondering when it comes to disc weight, how much weight do you usually get your drivers in? and is it all the same for stable, understable, and overstable drivers?
9:24 bless you Hannah!
@Paul, do you try to get every disc to land on the ground in a straight line, or do you try to throw every disc as straight as you can like you were throwing through a tunnel?
hannah was right... you found an AWESOME field for this!
Looking forward to throwing some of those new Impacts! I've thrown them since 2007.
@DonJuan LeBron It's pretty neutral. Think BuzzzSS or Meteor/Comet. The thing that separates it from all other discs is the grooved rim. Just feels like you have total control over it. It was the 2007 Discraft Ace Race disc. Give it a shot.
Always love watching Paul throw a disc...! Jon aint too bad himself! Nice filming and editing job, Hannah!
Great video, thanks. Having played for almost 40 years now, I think having so many discs to choose from can be confusing for the beginner. When I started we only had a handful of golf discs available, so we only had to learn those discs. We came from frisbee throwing, so to warm up we played catch with the golf discs.
(this was before sharp edge discs).
This has been the most helpful video I've seen in a long time.
When ever Mac Beth rips the disc it literally sounds like he’s lighting a match! Insane
on road to a 100K! let’s go 😤🤘🏽🧡
Loved this video!! This is the best informational video I’ve seen! Being new to the game all the info the better! Keep up the great work!
Hold up.. buddy on the left throwing lhbh and rhbh
💪🏽
Yes knew backhand was always similar to a baseball swing just rotated to 90°. Squash the bug rotate the hips and explode.
Thank you!
Thanks Paul and Hannah for sharing your vast expertise! Great video!
Am I the only one who thought that person in the distance was a basket? And then I seen them moving and was squinting at my phone trying to see what it was!
Loved this video nothing like learning from the best , thanks for all the tips!!! What weight do you prefer for your driver's?
lol only john can be lefty righty, he's Mcbeast's brother duh
My question got in there pretty dope awesome content Paul!
Champions say bless you
I would hate getting into a slapping competition with these guys 😜
I'm interested in knowing how far you and your brother were throwing in the beginning? It looked like he was throwing a lot harder than you, but yours looked super smooth.
Form vs. Effort
@@discgolfwes exactly. It's cool to see the difference
It would be cool if you added some type of follow flight
Bless You Hannah
As a beginner, this is the best video I've seen. I learned so much! Please do more of these, your a wealth of knowledge! I have a million questions, but that's my problem (info overload ). THANKS!
If there is a club near you, ask if a local pro or someone with form and tactical knowledge can give you private lessons and you can ask all the questions you have on your mind. That person can be an amateur player as well, if person has the knowledge and preferably experience and is a good teacher.
9:24 Bless you!
Thank you for the content Paul! Im a Left handed beginner, love throwing Discraft, been doing this kinda training for a while already and I cant find any good videos out there of real Left handed players and HOW the discs they throw should fly/glide. Its always a pain kinda mirroring the shots. I think Jon is a lefty, so how about a video for us throwing the other side! THANKS ahead!!
When you're on tour or playing a tournament every weekend. What does your rest schedule look like? I mean after a tournament or right before a tournament, do you take a couple days to rest your body so you're ready for the next tournament?
Thank you for answering a ton of people’s questions and letting us all have a little insight into your practice rounds. The the vids, keep em comin!🥰
love the content
You nailed the backhand comparison with a lefty baseball swing. My forehand is strong as a former 2nd basemen, but my backhand angle has the same issue you mentioned.
Awesome information. Thanks for sharing this.
This is so cool to watch! Thank you!!!
Bless you!! :)
Im kinda new to this sport but since i started playing (5 months ago) i am always looking some tips or tehniques from Paul 😁
Bless you
Thanks Paul! This will help with my field work for sure!
