- Meet Ronan: a talented, enthusiastic YCC player from California who was looking for tips on his forehand. Rowan connected with him and sent him a full throwing breakdown & a follow up call to outline 3 goals to work on.

Rowan (taken completely out of context): "You don't want to throw a frisbee." Never thought I'd hear him say that ! 🤔🤣

Hey Rowan,
I heard you are going to Go to sweden in Juli. I will be there too. Looking Forward to Meeting you there😊
THATS MY TEAMMATE
Your my teammate 🤯🤯🤯
I found the Japanese style of throwing is very unique, could you break down their mechanics or just the way they throw?
Can you do one on the backhand? Needa make sure that i get my form perfect
Any tips to queue leading with your elbow? I feel some stress on my shoulder and struggle to keep my forearm flat when leading with the elbow (not sure if that's just a lack of reps though) and so in games will subconsciously revert to leading more with the forearm
you can actually lead your middle finger with your wrist (same concept) to compensate for other inefficiencies in the chain. so focus on keeping the wrist 'loaded' 'cocked back' so there is range of motion there when the elbow finishes doing its job
Would you recommend cocking the wrist before starting the motion or let it cock naturally when moving the elbow forward?@@RowanMcDonnell
What if my shoulder doesn’t allow me to bring the disc as far as you do?
This is an interesting question, because i am extremely inflexible. but this motion is smooth and pain free. I'd say don't do anything that hurts, but if you can get the disc to lag behind the elbow even a bit, should help.
@@RowanMcDonnellthank you!
What do you mean by pulling? You mean pulling with your fingers on the disc? When do I start this pulling motion?
I'm referring to the fact that the elbow / wrist are in front of the disc until the end, so it almost feels like there is some tension pulling the actual disc until the last second!
Is this throwing motion just for hucks or also for regular 15-yard throws?
Ideally both I think, the throwing motions should be very similar
The principle is the same but if you're throwing 15 yrds you don't want a huge windup that's able to be reacted to and hand blocked. Also just in general at the short to mid distances its worth it to practice throwing with just wrist snap so you can get your arm out as far as possible to get around the mark for different break throws. So you're still leading with your elbow like with the huck for your flick form, but you can kinda think about it like this. For the huck you're leading with your elbow bakcward and then forward and on a short range throw its leading with your elbow diagonally backwards away from your body and then diagonally forwards. And depending on how good your wrist snap is and how far you need to throw you are in some spectrum of that movement. Experimenting with different release points and the distance from your body you can throw from is something that's highly beneficial.
Lot's of good points in this thread! There are several important principles that overlap in short and max power throws. and ideally, when you work on the max power stuff, the shorter distance throws become much more efficient. Efficiency is so important because it reduces movements, leading to mistakes.
Hey do you ever get any elbow/bicep pain with you form?
sorry for the month late response but yes its very common. I throw pretty much exactly like rowan and just tore my UCL. Its all from overuse however and most times its just a UCL sprain. Best thing you can do is don't overthrow and when it hurts, stop. For continual pain you might need an MRI on your elbow to check if UCL is partially torn
I got this guys jersey 🥹
How are you my man
