This is exactly what disc golf needs right now: brief, yet comprehensive tutorials that focus on one key aspect of technique. From a seasoned pro who can demonstrate it visually
Great video. It’s actually super refreshing to see a video that isn’t edited professionally and made to look like a major motion picture, it gives us a really authentic vibe and focuses on what’s important: the content and subject matter. It also makes newcomers to content creation realize they don’t need a full blown studio and editing team to put out quality content.
I’m glad you appreciated because this is about his professional as the content is ever gonna look coming for me LOL and you’re right, my focus is on the information and the quality of the teaching, not the production :-)
Just wanted to thank you Mr.Stokely for really improving my game! You are, by far, the best teacher of discgolf on youtube and I really really want to thank you for the information you share! And ofc beeing a Swede I had to get the Berg, Lots and Stål with your pretty face on the disc!
Yes!!! I was just thinking this! I struggle with having my disc a little nose up. Stokely is the number one person I would want to see make a video on fixing nose angle!
Thanks Scott. This is helpful. Would love to hear your thoughts on properly practicing a course for a tournament. Do you play a hole until you birdie? Do you focus on holes you have trouble with over easier must get birdies? Do you putt around all greens or only ones with differing elevation/obstacles? Specifically looking for ideas around if you only have 1 or 2 days to practice a course. Thanks!
Watched this when it dropped. Applied the technique. It ABSOLUTELY works. Changed my distance driver game. Of course, the second piece of the puzzle is controlling nose angle. Excellent video Mr. Stokely
Great lesson Scott!! Been watching you since you came back. What you have going right now with your attitude, your brand, your content, and your excellent instruction is on point right now. You have found your way, and I think you’re going to be more successful than you’ve ever been on and off the course. Cheers man. Good luck! I want to support you with a tour disc, but I’m not allowed to buy discs right now :P
Love your content Scott, your channel has improved my game. Really hope I get to work with you in person some day. Now onto trying to solve my grip lock problem 😅
Make sure you don't have a death grip on the disc in the first place. If someone can't knock the disc out of your hand, you're probably holding it too tightly.
I am very impressed with the pro disc golf scene. I am really looking forward to Scott taking up some lead card jomez footage in a couple months. Great stuff Scott.
So excited to try this out next time on the course. I specifically made the comment to my friends last time that I am way too good at lining up my throwing angle before the throw and then immediately not throwing it at that angle. Turns out it may be because I was under the impression that the wrist is where angle changes are done at.
Scott, you've been nothing but great help to me. I just started in June of 2021 and I'm 40 years old (I heard 40 is the perfect age to start disc golf lol). I play with a lot of great players who have helped me tweak what you've taught me, and I've lost to Paul Oman multiple times in our local putting league here in Evansville. I'd love to see you do a putting challenge at 12, 18, 24, 30, and 33' (4 disc a piece) just to see how I'd fair with you. Have a great week, sir!
Just ordered the Berg, and Stal tour series discs. Looks like the Stal is very similar to most companies OS fairway driver which I have plenty of backups for that slot, but I am more excited to try the Berg. Mostly glad I can help support one of my favorite touring pros. You're a tremendous positive influence in our sport Scott.
Thanks for this video! I am brand new to DG and love how you explain everything. If you ever come to ontario Canada I would love to be a part of your training! You have a new subscriber good sir.
A great video Scott,would be explaining and breaking down your run up approach,,especially the hop/skip allowing you to load up so much more energy into the moving parts,unlike any other player in disc history ,,, Thanks
@1:00 I have a couple friends I'm teaching. I'm having them work on throwing flat for consistency and so they can learn how their discs behave. THEN we will move on to manipulating angles and filling those gaps ;)
Hey Scott, we really need some custom Stokely art, your tatted knuckles need to be a graphic and stamp! Sorry I don't have the art chops but someone make it happen.
Great Video yet again, still going to stick to my Forehand throws tho. Feels a lot more comfortable to me. Not to mention I am way more accurate and drive further with my Forehand then my backhands. Which might be odd? I am not sure, I have only started playing for a little over a month now.
I started in August of 21. I bought three DD's and chucked a forehand 300' first throw. I enjoyed it but my shoulder did not. I wanted to keep playing, so backhand was much more gentle on my shoulder. I threw nothing but backhands for the next couple of months. I almost exclusively play backhand. I improved A LOT, but not without throwing over a 1,000 shots in fields and courses. I still want a forehand off the tee though! I'll get there. It takes not a whole lot of time, but A LOT of practice.
This helps me alot because my wrist naturally rests in the position where im throwing hyzer almost all the time. I've noticed I flip higher speed discs than I should be able too and I wonder if this is why.
Hey Scott, I hope I get a response to this. Every pro preaches this method, but when I do it, I can't comfortably fire my hips when in the bent over position. My body tends to start bend at the hip, and end up straight at the swing. How do I fix that?
First, stop thinking about your hips. Planting your foot before anything else moves is the key to the timing. Think of it as 2 separate actions - First plant then begin the throw.
3:30 question, not sure if someone asked this already, or if you address this later in the video. You say that the margin of error is smaller when throwing at a angle. However, I find when throwing at angles, also brings in skip/roll away potential when the disc lands at an angle. Shouldn't that also factor the margin of error? Flat shots tend to more likely land level to the ground and henceforth usually have less skip/roll potential?
bringing in more variables changes the decision making. you're right, on the course you have to bring in these factors. but on a grass field the hyzer's always the easiest option, don't you think?
Totally agree, more angle leads to a less predictable landing. This was specific to gauging distance and then you decide if the trade off for a less consistent landing is worth it :-)
@@ScottStokelyDG anyway loving the content. Looking forward to see you play next season. In the meantime I'll be watching more of your videos and work on my form the best I can in the snowy cold dark of Finland :D. Cheers
I swear I've heard this tip but I do it the wrong method, with a wrist. I never saw good results using my core/waist for the angle. I also have a hyzer bend in my waist when I throw anything already, been a gamer too long so my back is whack. What's the best way to fix my positioning?
I can see what you mean about the 10% margin error comes to play when having an angle to the basket, instead of going straight. But as you say. It requires more power to get there. And more power usually means less control. So I am not convinced. Though also, going for the basket. Or going for an approach is also two different things of course.
The pure hyzer shot is the most accurate shot in disc golf. It has the smallest potential landing area. That is why you see the pros chuck a hyzer bomb every chance they get. The juxtaposition is downhill shots which have the largest landing area of any throw.

This is so true. Pro's who teach by saying, this is how I do it, are NOT teachers
Scott, you are a treasure to the disc golf community.

watching your videos makes me better at disc golf
Your videos succinctly explain and demonstrate how to do it
Loved the slow-mo examples at the end. Emmaculate form as expected.
I think we figured out a solution to sound in wind!!!
Nice!
the audio sounds great in this episode scott
These just keeps getting better and better 👏
We need a video like this but for the nose angle!!
Yes!!! I was just thinking this! I struggle with having my disc a little nose up. Stokely is the number one person I would want to see make a video on fixing nose angle!
@@wessawyer6165 Scot and Uli both release tutorials as I'm struggling with that part, I swear 🤣
Always ready for another nugget of wisdom from you.

Great suggestion Cody, I would be very interested in Scott's thoughts on this.
Sounds like a great video!
Best tutorials on TH-cam without a doubt. I always link your videos when I write guides!

So Cool you give back to your favorite thing in your life , Disc Golf Always the best pointers for us mere mortals
An unexpected bonus to see you throwing Swedish plastic. ^^
I really really love when scott teaches. I learn a lot from him. Always has good info

"A smaller margin of error when you throw a disc at an angle"; I have never heard this before. Very cool concept!
extremely helpful video. ive seen this tip before but never explained so well. as always thanks scott!
This is fantastic! Really appreciate the logic behind the movement choices.
Great info. I've really been struggling this.
I coach using the biggest lever to change angles so it's nice to hear a top coach taking the same approach lol.
More tutorials coming? Yes keep em coming
Awesome again as always. Would be cool to see you do a vid with OTB/Jammin with the best next time you're in nor cal
Thanks for this video! I am brand new to DG and love how you explain everything. If you ever come to ontario Canada I would love to be a part of your training! You have a new subscriber good sir.
Hey Scott...love your videos...you should definately make the Y in your logo a basket😉
A great video Scott,would be explaining and breaking down your run up approach,,especially the hop/skip allowing you to load up so much more energy into the moving parts,unlike any other player in disc history ,,, Thanks
Yes! I plan on doing a video about that.
I cannot wait for my new Stal disc to get here!!
Awesome video Scott. Btw, you look to be in excellent playing shape.
Great new logo bro
@1:00 I have a couple friends I'm teaching. I'm having them work on throwing flat for consistency and so they can learn how their discs behave. THEN we will move on to manipulating angles and filling those gaps ;)
I also teach to start with a baseline of flat and then learn angles. Totally agree!

i love this guy. what about a forehand angle guide? that might be 3 hours long
Coming soon!
You are awesome. Thanks for this great content! How can I get on your mailing list for clinics? I’d love to make it one day to one of them.
There's a form on my website

The direction of the walk up don't also is a way to make Hyzer and Anhyzer? Or is it a similar thing as to lean?
You (basically) walk up the line the disc is going to be leaving your hand. The leaning is the angle the desk will fly on that line.
I swear I've heard this tip but I do it the wrong method, with a wrist. I never saw good results using my core/waist for the angle. I also have a hyzer bend in my waist when I throw anything already, been a gamer too long so my back is whack. What's the best way to fix my positioning?
I really need help throwing anhyzers! Any chance to get help showing slow motions mechanics?
I will add it to my list!
I can see what you mean about the 10% margin error comes to play when having an angle to the basket, instead of going straight.
But as you say. It requires more power to get there. And more power usually means less control. So I am not convinced.

dude this frisbie golfing is next level fuck yes
dude your so right
Senior Scott, one of these days..
I'm assuming next year when you get back on tour, many more will understand your skill.
how would you go about eliminating throwing backhands nose up?
Video coming!
Do you know the "locking the door" video from Latitude64? I'd love to hear your opinion on it.
Not sure if I've seen that.
@@ScottStokelyDG th-cam.com/video/2ccbLpHbI5Y/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=Latitude64
to those who know why we throw with different release angles, hyzer in particular, skip to 3:32
Great vid
Are you in Galveston in this Clip?
What if the angle was throwing uphill?
That's a good one and it's on my list lol
As Chubbs would say, it's all in the hips!
👍🏾
: )
Once again. No b. S. Showboating
You foot faulted each time lol
