Yes the video could be shorter but this mistake is one I wanted to make sure to cover it thoroughly. Finding the balance between time and explaining each topic is different for everyone
I think the length is nice. Experienced folks get it by skipping through, but I can send this to folks and they can get more detail if they need it. I also watch all my TH-cam at 2x speed 🫣
Hey Kurt, Isn’t this throw riskier than a low release because of the wind? Or because of Leo’s good technique does it allow him to throw, with confidence, higher release in poor conditions?
It’s not riskier because you’re really not throwing it at an upward angle. When you release low you’re releasing it at an upward angle giving the wind more opportunity to affect the throw pushing it up fast or as you saw it just drops quickly. This throw is flat and harder for the wind to manipulate it in any way.
Leo’s wasn’t a shoulder level release but more mid-section. Both can achieve the same objective. The point is those low throws below the waist are much harder to put touch on and throw a soft floater for the receiver to run onto.
i tell all the kids i coach is that the OI flicks and OI backhands with touch are the most important throws in the game.. They all want to learn break throws, hucks, inside lefties etc... and the truth is... unless they've mastered these, theres no point in moving on
1) the video wasn’t about cutting mechanics 2) I don’t think it was a bad cut.. he also wasn’t even with the disc and was cutting from more upfield which causes a similar throw… he was open and took what the defense gave him and on a flat mark that’s not a bad place to cut
As a newbie to this sport I appreciate the lengthy detailed video. Thanks Kurt
Glad to hear it
Kirk lol
Great video- loved hearing a pro walk it down step-by-step from different angles. Fantastic stuff.
Glad you enjoyed it
I watched the video and most of what you said could be said in like 30 seconds. Maybe you can condense it a bit?

you could do a YTshort version with the main points @@kurtegibson

Thank you for your content!
You’re welcome

@@kurtegibson Never thought about low releases that way. Thanks!
Is it an upline high release flick or just an upline floaty-ish flick. The last clip didn’t seem like high release to me, but 🤷♂️

@@kurtegibson gotcha. Thank you
yup that throw also makes me instantly think of tim gehret, also cartagena , great vid cheers
Glad you enjoyed it
@@kurtegibson suggestion: how about a vid on cutting deep as a handler/from shallow/the reset space?

Yup.. it’s the fundamentals!
Also, why aren't we talking about that bad cut? Since when is an upline cut straight across, not slashing upline?
