Thank you for the content. You and Nick have put out some incredibly helpful insights. Your over-brace reminds of Kyle Berkshire (worlds golf long distance champion multiple years). So, I think that is a good thing 👍
Been following your videos since the start. You’ve added nearly 100’ to my back hand in that time. 360’-380’ thrower to current PR of 478’. Feels like 500’ is just around the corner. The concepts explained in this video are instantly clicking for me and feel like a natural progression from your other videos. Can’t wait to get out and try this.
I especially appreciate the "this is what will happen next as you fix this:" portion. I've spent so much time on form and it's so easy to see the next/new problem and think "well that doesn't work." Nice vid.
12:20 this is the concept i'm working on now. super difficult and touchy but the good ones are starting to feel real good now. Confident that this is the final piece of the puzzle for me to hit that 500 bomb! The reason I know this is because even though I am doing a "run up" (really more of a walk up like Gannon Buhr), my brace is mostly vertical and thats where I get my most distance and power. If I try to add momentum, add speed, add power, then I successfully get the horizontal brace but my arm is collapsing. Exactly what you're talking about here!
I was in the field the other day practicing standstill throws and patent pending throws with mids and putters. Turns out both max out at about 225', which makes me think I'm missing something in the standstill and not leveraging lower body momentum. Time to drill that brace progression some more!
14:52 I’ve felt this very pronounced when I was throwing fairway shot, when there’s a minor downhill, so when you take x-step, the last step is going to ’drop’ noticeably, and it felt like I got way more spin and power than usually. Could you even use that somehow as a drill to get the feel of horizontal stop (body tries automatically to stop from falling over) 😂
Great video! I think you could make it even better by showing more clips of you throwing with both bad/good timing and spending some time breaking those down.
I recently rolled my ankle and have been forced to do standstill forehand drives.. and was shocked that I was still getting 300-320ft when my crow hop only adds like another 40ft. Timing is king.
The brace pushes your right hip back causing clockwise rotation, so over bracing should cause clockwise rotation of your hips and entire body, it shouldn't push you backwards. Wiggins extends his left leg straight back to minimize the over-rotation of his powerful brace. Thoughts? I played with your drill, but I don't like it for these reasons.
Overbracing is simply to teach you to push yourself with your plant, instead of just dropping onto it without active resistance. If you overpower your forward momentum, you will end backwards.
For that to happen your hips must be perpendicular to your momentum. See Gibson at 1:50 (th-cam.com/video/s_UV7kIE1Pk/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=OverthrowDiscGolf). Watch the tension in his brace leg. He straightens his brace leg and pushes his right hip back stopping his forward momentum and turning his hips clockwise. We never see pros jump back, but we do see them over rotate. I'm not trying to start an argument and best of luck to you. I enjoy your channel.
Felt cute, threw x-steps for a few days and already at 74mph+, might get to 78mph later idk
hahahaha
😂
LOL

Second time I've been told that in the last 24 hours so, I also think that's a good thing :)
12:21 biggest obstacle and never heard before. Thank you. Going to practice daily.

Thank you...I, and many in the Tangamanga Disc Golf Club are avid fans and devour your content along with Nick's...keep up the great work.

Samesies. LOL
Dewit! Looking forward to following this journey.
Hey, crossfit helps (see the rings back there) with arm speed, explosion and linking muscle groups together
Wow so many great new tips to try. Thank you for sharing!!
Some great tips brother!

Ill keep that in mind! All of my progress in in my shorts, so plenty of throws there to see what's changing!
@@BlitzDG Excellent, I didn't notice those. Thanks!

Welcome brother. Haha
Is the goal just strictly velocity or are you trying to be accurate with it as well?
Speed first, then accuracy!
