I just finished up a round and some field work after having watched this video and I was literally out there saying, "Feldy, you beautiful SOB". The first tip regarding dropping the heel before rotating was such a game changer. It took me forever to figure out the rear knee turn/drop and I knew I had to rotate on my plant heel, but I was under the impression that I was supposed to do exactly what you said not to (rotate into the heel drop). Now it makes total sense why my throws would always be great or terrible. After working on dropping my heel first, my throws were so darn smooth and consistent; it was a literal revelation. I've been throwing putters/mids exclusively for about 4-5 months now and today I was throwing them further and on the exact line that I was aiming for. Seriously can't praise Dave enough on this one; this was the missing link to my BH.
'You'll get worse before you get better." I needed to hear that. Had a couple rough days in the field after getting home from work and it has been discouraging. I am trying a bunch of different things to try and consistently break the 300 foot mark and it just hasn't been clicking. Just going to try and keep my chin up and keep working at it.
I went to a Scott Stokely clinic a few weeks ago and your explanation is almost exactly how he explained it in terms of making sure you step before you start to throw from your reach back. I was definitely starting my throw before my foot was planted and not getting much snap and lots of sore muscles that shouldn't be sore. But in practicing every day I've already noticed a huge difference in feeling that snap and even my friends have noticed I'm throwing noticeable farther. Excellent video!
Met feldy at a tournament at the IDGC 6 months into playing.. I was on the bottom card in last place, he gave us a really inspiring speech about how he used to be the same when he started. Since then I’ve worked my butt off and raised my rating 100 pts
Wow. Because of a knee injury decades ago, I had to always spin on my toe. And I'm tired of the distance wall I've had for many years.
Trying to plant the heel like this feels soooooo awkward. This is actually exciting...it gives me something concrete to work on that I can feel.
Same
I had meniscus surgery a long time ago. But planting into my right leg brought back the feeling of trying to favor it. Not that it hurt. My knee has been fine for decades. But that mental programming is still in there.
The heel coming down to lead is something I've lost, and staying on the toes helps it happen! Thanks Dave
My light bulb moment was learning how to throw the disc with my body rotation. Plant like Dave says with your feet offset and ass pointed at the target. Keep the disc at around chest height, and keep the forearm loose and moderate grip. This way when you start rotating your body(Violently), your arm starts coming in on it's own to form a 90 degree angle. This is the power pocket. Then commit to follow through and you'll smush it. Spend hours in a field repeating this motion and you'll hit 400+ I promise. Keep abs tight too because it helps synch up the lower and upper body. These are pointers I would have told my self when I first started
Keeping the abs tight also helps keep your back safe from injury. Rotate through the hips and keep the spine stable throughout. I get nasty back twinges when I forget to do this.
This is an awesome synopsis of these tips and yet another way to visualize the SHIT LOAD of mechanics going on in a BH throw. I've been stuck at right around 250-275 on my BH since I've started and I'm so stoked to use this to keep working on distance!
Such a good teacher. Thanks Champ!
The most important tip here? "You Will get worse before you get better"
Thank you Dave, our Pro Masters Slayer champion -60 parr..... Killed it with the prediction even, haha! Then Killing it with the top ten finish at idlewild ( I do believe) in Pro OPEN! Congrats on that and showing these young men Feldberge is a DISCGOLF legend, for a reason, not just how long the man has been in the game!
Also I suffer from disability's I've suffered over a long carrier in a action sports and this drill is definitely helping me with the pain I receive in my lower back, hips and knees after a quick warm up round
First I'll Putt for ten minutes, throw about 10 to15 putters then play a 3 hole loop at my local course then a full round of 18.....and then I'm done for! I believe these steps will help allot so I want to say thank you!
Thank you! And loved the sound effects.
Dave the best DG teacher on TH-cam hands-down
0:00 intro
0:30 heel drop
1:50 drill: “stay on toes“
2:24 drill: “three part throw”
4:17 tension timing
Excellent tips Dave. I can see how that will really help, and why you are a world champion!
Love the breakdown of each step. Good stuff as always.
Great job at explaining that .
Thanks
Always want more Feldberg coaching!
Dave has spoken!
Dave.... thanks 👍
Big Dave fan, but this is not the way to learn distance IMO. This type of reach back and cranking, non-rotation talk leads to injury and you will NOT gain the distance you are hoping for by trying to learn this way. These are all the tips taught to people at the beginning. If you watch Dave or any professional throw, they do not do what is being instructed here. The only reason I am saying this is people will get hurt trying to learn these techniques. If you DO follow the advice here notice when Dave walks backwards he does not LEAN backwards during the reach back. He keeps his posture vertical. It helps you ROTATE and get acceleration on the disc. Be careful out there fellow learners, there are tips that take you backwards.
Good tips! Is that course overlooking the Tennessee river?
I miss Dave's podcast!
He had a podcast? Where can I find it?
@@samhowl1152 He's probably talking about these:

Great stuff, Dave. I'm just still a bit confused about your second point that you glanced over, staying on toes. Are you saying do or don't stay on your toes? I ask because I had an issue for the longest time where I'd be on my toes too much and it threw my whole balance off, but after I started throwing more flat footed, but with pressure on my toes my balance improved significantly. The last point about keeping your head over your disc in the rotation is huge; I had a bad habit of looking up at my disc, but I was able to break it by working on trying to almost tip my head backward which just resulted in me accidentally getting it above the disc at first.
In regards to the entire first half of your comment. staying on the toes is a drill for people that don't put any pressure forward on their toes and are just flat footed/on their heels.
You sir are a genius just came hear from Danny's video after getting fed up watching him talk non sense for 15mins thank you this actually makes Sense
Do you think he remembered where his disc went?
The Professor
How to throw far: Stand on top of a giant hill.
:D
1:36 Lmao he changes directions so we get a better view so they change the camera angle? Nice job..... lmao.
I think the 3 part drill is very dangerous for people who don't know what they're doing. No professional or good thrower lands with their toe like that, or at least not exaggerated like that. They almost all land near about their toe, but more toward the instep and their weight shift really pushes the foot toward the other side, not really straight down into the heel. I see so many ams cherry picking bits of advice and breaking form down into such small bites that it ends up hurting their ability to throw the damn disc. And they wonder why they can't get better when stacking endless pieces of advice "for more distance" from different teaching sources on top of each other.
This is terrible advice
