“Ramble” away! There are folks that want to learn and folks that want to gripe. I watch all your clinics and appreciate all the information you have to give. Keep doing what you’re doing!
I also am appreciative of the "rambling". Sometimes it's not clear to me the first time and the extra explanation touches something that makes me go, "Ah!"
The idea of one hip pushing back and the other pushing forward really made sense compared to just trying to twist or spin my hips. Looking forward to field work tomorrow :)
I love that the biggest name on Team Dynamic basically exist to say "Nuh-uh" to all your form talk. Yes the explanation on why it works is there, but it's still funny.
oakley is that old school breed of disc golfer that learned before youtube or anything was around. i like watching people like him or matt orum because their styles were formed from the ground up. almost seems like they are at their skill in spite of their peculiarities rather than because of them. i like watching the young guys throw picture perfect, but it's also fun to see the old schoolers rip with "bad habits".
Teaching and having time to practice and put everything into my form are different things. I try not to use myself for examples, I try to use our sponsored players for this reason. Excuses aside, like 430'.
Keep rambling. There really isn't any "perfect" form video for everyone. People just need to take it what helps them. So the more ramble the more potential breakthroughs. People could just watch the Karate kid 2 drum technique and be good though.
this video has the most convincing 'consider subscribing' i've ever seen. great work as always! personally i like how you show exceptions to the form that you're describing, and explain how these exceptions accomplish the same fundamental thing. i guess it might be a bit rambly for some, but that's what the chapter feature is there for. also, including drills is super helpful.
Wow, this is my big issue, landing with my front foot open and not engaging my hips. This just made tackling it SO much easier. Thank you, Danny and DD. This channel, DGAM included, is the reason I bag mostly DD. Danny, please continue to add as much detail as you can. You don't ramble, but rather approach a complicated, technical subject with noticeable effort to make it digestible while not neglecting details, drills, tips, etc. That really, really helps me understand the subject and makes me feel like I learned something about my own throw. Keep it up!
Appeasing the viewers isn't as important as just getting the information out there. IMO. Just keep em coming however you feel is best for you and we can distill it down for our own personal consumption. Thanks for the effort Danny.
@@DannyLindahl every time. I've been playing off and on for over 30 years (still a hack). And I still learn something just about every time you put out a video.
You rambled just the perfect amount. Thanks for this video, it was SO GOOD! Definately one of the best instructional video I've seen here on TH-cam. So pedagogically well explained, you could almost think that you're an educated teacher, SPOT ON! I want to know why I do things, not just what to do. Knowing why I do certain things makes it so much easier to improve, I've been struggling with my hips and how to do it. This video will certainly make my discs fly past that 120m that I struggle to reach. I can't wait to go try this!!! You 🪨! Subscribed! Please enjoy your day cos you definitely made mine! 😻
🤔 did you see me at the course trying to engage my hips poorly today and then decide to make this video? Its the exact video I needed after failing to do this on my own. Thanks!
For me the Hopping fixed my entire throw. Don't know if it's because of my basketball background or what but it fixed timing issues and reaching too far or behind my body. It literally helped me stay upright position although that's the most unlikely scenario.
I've been ball golfing for 40 years ( 4 handicap) and disc golf for 2 weeks...And Just like ball golf, if I keep my head still and behind the release, I crush both ball and disc. The second I 'sway' away from my coil, I lose distance and accuracy in both sports.
I have been watching all of y'all's videos, but I just finally subscribed haha. Keep these videos coming! Same type of videos that made me subscribe to Latitude 64!
This morning I tried hard to slow everything down except the release so that I could make sure my hips moved before my arm. Best drives in my 2 months of playing. Just came back to say this vid and this series really help a beginner like me.
Danny, this is exactly the piece of info I’ve been missing in my game. I hurt my back 3 years ago trying to get power into a disc I should not have been throwing. (Noob throwing a destroyer as hard as he could to 320 feet.) since then I have been throwing mostly with my arm and not my core. This plus slow is smooth/smooth is far immediately got me back up to 350 with a sapphire. Thank you so much!
This is fantastic content for those of us that have been playing for a while and wanted tweak the little things in our form as well. Thank you please feel free to get as technical as you like. I’m loving it 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Maybe I missed the video but I've watched all your recent videos and couldn't figure out what it was I was doing wrong. I could throw my putter/midrange pretty well but my driver (prime escape) i couldn't get any distance on, after watching hours of your videos and not making progress all I ended up doing was changing the position of my grip on the disc in the power pocket (moved my palm from the 1-2 o'clock position on the disc to the 12 o'clock position) and the spin added probably 75-100ft plus i was more consistently releasing flat. Do a video on this!!
For Eric, one of the ways he is keeping his balance centered is where his head is looking. He's not looking back, he's looking basically straight down. Body follows head. If he were to do the hop and look back where his disc is the whole time i can pretty confidently say his weight would shift back too far to some extent. But because he is looking straight down it's keeping everything centered.
Your so at ease explaining everything about discgolf you should be announcing on one of the discgolf networks...jomez..gatekeeper....etc. you would be so much better than some of them doing it now
I think you forget the most important reason why a Brinster hop can be very important. Try doing a Brinster hop with your left foot having the wrong angle. It most definitely feel like you're going to fall if you do a Brinster hop with bad angles on your feet. Another reason for doing a Brinster hop is to control your x-step. If you take too long of a x-step it will also feel like you're about to fall. I think doing a Brinster hop will correct many newbies on their game. I wish I did a Brinster hop earlier in my career. It would have saved me a lot of time. Eric Oakley is not doing a Brinster hop. Brinster rear foot still x-step even though he "jumps".
Danny.....I've watched soooo many of your videos(you should be commended for this hard work) but....and also thanks to SeaBass....THIS drill....this one is what stitches it all together for me in terms of lateral motion/rotation in a smooth manner. Thanks a ton for this video, man!!
That "back heel up" tip is really really helpful for feeling the correct timing of the start of the pull. With the back heel up, as soon as your front foot touches the ground it just feels like "ok, now is the time to pull forward". It felt like it instantly fixed something I was really struggling to get a proper feel for.
I needed this one, in particular the reasons the upper body ends up tilted back. Pretty sure my legs are leaving me behind. Damn legs, can't trust them. Not my fault.
It would be great to see all possible approaches towards proper hip activation as it is the hardest thing for most people to put into practice. Great video!
hey Danny i was wondering how much grip really affect? I'm a junior disc golfer and I'm trying to improve my game a bit, i was wondering how much better a power grip is against having my index finger on the rim. Thanks!
My problem is I’ve been watching videos on this channel for 2 years and haven’t added more than about 20’ to my drives. My max is 280’ and I can’t get another inch of travel, no matter what. I have no idea what I’m doing wrong…
Maybe try sending a video of your form to a pro… or depending on where you live, there might be a local pro around there who would be happy to make a few bucks to do some in person
Nice video! You know I've always thought it would be awesome to have a pro throw on a matt that could show weight distribution so we could actually see the weight shift happening while watching the throw. Another really could idea would be to have two synchronized cameras above a thrower and to the side of them to see what's happening from every angle at thr same time. Maybe even a camera behind too. Also DD should get you your own stamped disc to sell. I don't throw DD but I think your content is awesome and it'd be a cool way to support it.
So, I don't think your videos are perfect, but this was really good. I've watched the seabass videos several times, and they never made sense to me. Maybe I need to go back to them again now that I have like 18 months of practice, but I never understood how they helped. This made that drill so clear. I tried it once and IMMEDIATELY felt what you were trying to say. Thank you, I'll be in the field.

chose the roughest possible wall to demonstrate the butt wipe lol
Love it. Keep it coming.
Great video as always Danny! Glad to see the hard work paying off with the channel growing!
Thanks Danny, this is something I have particularly struggled with
I'll be rewatching this...a lot.
Thanks for the drills--they really help break through the screen and give me something to feel the movements, broken down. Much appreciated.
Horse stance comes from the martial arts form Kung Fu. Great video.
appreciate you bro!
Saw this on Reddit -- excellent, as per usual. Keep up the great content!
Great descriptions and explanations. Thank you!
I’ve been waiting for these exact tips. Thank you!
Thanks!
BEEN subscribed since 1k subscribers!!
Great video!
SUPER HELPFUL, MUCH LESS RAMBLE, JK, ALWAYS GREAT!!!
Collab with Overthrow!
Alright Danny I got know how far u can throw, with all these tutorials.
Teaching and having time to practice and put everything into my form are different things. I try not to use myself for examples, I try to use our sponsored players for this reason. Excuses aside, like 430'.
U give me hope I'm only at 300' consistently.
The placement/angle of my plant foot has been all wrong apparently.
Field work is required
Who is disliking this?
Keep rambling. There really isn't any "perfect" form video for everyone. People just need to take it what helps them. So the more ramble the more potential breakthroughs.
People could just watch the Karate kid 2 drum technique and be good though.

Ramble, Hearing the thought process out loud helps me to internalize it so much.
I've said it many times--"Physics of ..." is why I bag only Dynamic & a few Trilogy. I'm paying my money to sponsor your company. :P
Your dad engaged your mom's hips
So, you’re just repackaging Heavy Disc’s work for the past two videos?
can we get a Danny Lindahl team series disc yet?
Love that idea!
Make the disc(s) come with quotes such as "slow is smooth and smooth is far".
Wow, this is my big issue, landing with my front foot open and not engaging my hips. This just made tackling it SO much easier. Thank you, Danny and DD.

Can you do a video on standstills. Everyone says start with standstills, bit there's like no videos on it
Look up “driving instructions will schusterick” best stand still clinic on the tube. Danny has made at least one that I know of as well.
You should check out loopghost if you haven't. Danny mentioned him in this video, loopghost has great videos with standstill and one step throws
Horse pose comes from yoga. Been called that for thousands of years!!
Excellent video, thanks. I'm a beginner and got a lot out of this. Great explanations. Many concepts are like the golf swing.
Appeasing the viewers isn't as important as just getting the information out there. IMO. Just keep em coming however you feel is best for you and we can distill it down for our own personal consumption. Thanks for the effort Danny.
Somebody watched to the end! Thanks for your feedback!
@@DannyLindahl every time. I've been playing off and on for over 30 years (still a hack). And I still learn something just about every time you put out a video.
I think "horse stance" comes from a yoga pose. Great content, thanks!
I have seen it used in Karate too
Ignore the haters, your delivery is excellent. Maybe start a new series where you dumb down everything,
Excellent video, thank you.
I'd have to say you've helped me the most in throwing farther. And that's why I preach your name and DD for having you do these.
You rambled just the perfect amount. Thanks for this video, it was SO GOOD! Definately one of the best instructional video I've seen here on TH-cam.

For those with hip fracture… what can be an alternative?
One Leg Drill
I've been ball golfing for 40 years ( 4 handicap) and disc golf for 2 weeks...And Just like ball golf, if I keep my head still and behind the release, I crush both ball and disc. The second I 'sway' away from my coil, I lose distance and accuracy in both sports.

No keep rambling. It helps
The first five minutes of this video is what every disc golf video strive for. Perfect blend of humor and technical advice.
Do you here of anyone needing hip surgery or groin surgery?
Danny, this is exactly the piece of info I’ve been missing in my game. I hurt my back 3 years ago trying to get power into a disc I should not have been throwing. (Noob throwing a destroyer as hard as he could to 320 feet.) since then I have been throwing mostly with my arm and not my core.
This plus slow is smooth/smooth is far immediately got me back up to 350 with a sapphire. Thank you so much!
Im like 90% sure double g has a small hop also
Most of the top distance players hop except for Eagle with his long legs.
I love the indepth technical videos
This is fantastic content for those of us that have been playing for a while and wanted tweak the little things in our form as well. Thank you please feel free to get as technical as you like. I’m loving it 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Great tips. So good made me sub
I really struggle with the bracing concept.
imagine using your plant leg to push your hip open.
You are getting better and better
Officially my favorite form video
crushed it! nice video
Great video!
Ramble away!
I am your father.
Love the videos!!!
Solid content
Excellent!!!

Danny = GOAT of disc golf education !!!!! Love the content ! Keep it coming !

Had to pause the video to ask danny what shoes those are, they look extremely comfortable.
best tip i ever got (but so many other ones also) from danny on x-step is to just go about the same speed as you would walking. Helped a lot.
The battering ram led to a breakthrough for me! I have had terrible body mechanics and this helped a lot!
That "back heel up" tip is really really helpful for feeling the correct timing of the start of the pull. With the back heel up, as soon as your front foot touches the ground it just feels like "ok, now is the time to pull forward". It felt like it instantly fixed something I was really struggling to get a proper feel for.
I needed this one, in particular the reasons the upper body ends up tilted back. Pretty sure my legs are leaving me behind. Damn legs, can't trust them. Not my fault.
I take something away from every one of these videos. Well done again.
I've seen a plethora of technique videos and this one is nice and straight forward while in depth. So thank you and let the haters hate.
It would be great to see all possible approaches towards proper hip activation as it is the hardest thing for most people to put into practice. Great video!
I can never get enough of these videos. Keep them coming!...
You are a good talker! Would even buy a used car from you! 😄
Great stuff thinks for the tips on being straight up and more on the toes.
I personally love this content! Thanks again for the insight.
Thanks for your thorough and well thought out tutorials.
hey Danny i was wondering how much grip really affect? I'm a junior disc golfer and I'm trying to improve my game a bit, i was wondering how much better a power grip is against having my index finger on the rim. Thanks!
Yeh dont ever do that honestly. Power grip for drives. Fan grip for approaches
Great video Danny

Great video, solid instruction. Don’t worry about “rambling”. You articulate well!
I heard Eric Oakley is making adjustments to his form..

NO CAPTION??? dang It would be nice if you add the caption for deaf community, thanks
Captions worked for me. Maybe they didn't load previously?
DUDE. If you hit the CC button on the top right of the screen it turns on captions. (What CC stands for, Closed Caption). The more ya know :))
@@mr.miyagi3157 DUDE, I know where is the CC button. It was NOT there and now it pop up. TH-cam gotta stop play around with me, by the way thank you
