After being diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis, I had to switch to my forehand to be able to continue playing. This video helped me make the transition. I can't throw as far as I use to, but on the days I feel good, making the switch allowed me to continue playing my obsession.
Is there anyone out there who is a better spokesman, role-model and all around good teacher for disc golf than Avery Jenkins? Didn't think so. Thanks for all you do for the sport, Avery, and great video!
yeah, late to this vid... ah but like you said this cat is great... been seeking out his vids of late (only been playing 2 years thus late to this and his other vids)
A lot of great pros out there, not many of them can teach. Your ability to explain technique in a way noobs like me can process is excellent. Thanks Avery and Discmania for bringing these excellent videos to the web.
Thanks for the props JJ!! It's very difficult for video to actually capture the exact things that you mentioned along with the speed and power of the disc releasing from the hand, I love throwing these shots!!
Favorite Instructional Video - At 45 I've been going out and hucking my sidearms to the point I have lower right back pain. After studying this vid I adjusted my grip, step approach, release and follow through. After a dozen throws I had 3 PB distance throws with less strain and power needed. You do an excellent job of breaking down the needed techniques and trouble shooting too. Excited to try on the local course.
It's never about speed in Disc Golf as it's always more important to have a high level of accuracy and control with Distance Drivers. Sure, the Bosses might be slightly faster but they lack the overall flight consistency that the Destroyers have, it's the main reason that you see myself as well as other Top Professionals throwing the Destroyer for their go-to Distance Driver!!
Great tips. I first saw this video when it came out only months after starting to play actively. Thanks to this very tutorial I was able to learn the basics of forearm drive and essentially become a forearm discgolfer. Now, after 2 years of play I find that the same key points still apply and I still have so much to learn. Thanks Avery and Jussi for your work and contribution to the disc golf community
Thanks Avery for the awesome tips! Sidearm had become a very important part of my game in the last 2 years and you blew my mind with that power grip! Tried it out today for first time and was slamming 400 ft. sidearms down the fairway @ my home course!
Great video! I've been throwing sidearm consistently over the past 2 years, and occasionally have errant shots turn left and roll on me when going for extra distance. The second "keeping your palm to the sky" was mentioned, I figured out my issues. Excellent quality vid, thanks for sharing.
Thank you for this! I am a recovered diabetic, at first this was for my health now I just want to get good and now health just comes along with it! Video will help a lot and answered a lot of my questions.
I'd never before seen proper technique for throwing sidearm. I'm a decent sidearm driver, but can probably improve substantially by doing things right. I'm excited to try out the "power grip"
looking forward to trying these techniques to improve my sidearm shot. I hope I haven't developed any fatal bad habits that I can't break. Clean cutty BTW, love the blue with white interior and top!
Thanks discmania, I´ve had problems with my putting and my forehand throws. I think i got many useful tips from this "Deep In The Game" series. It´s also a very well done series, so thanks a lot! : )
Thanks so much! I was holding the disc straight in the middle as I throw but now I see it should be more on the side. This should help. One tip for the videos is when you say what not to do you could show an example instead of just explaining it. Other than that perfect, detailed, helpful video/series. Thanks again
This is why a lot of good/top pros throw destroyers instead of bosses... even though a boss has the flight characteristics to go further. Well put Tyler!
my favorite disc to sidearm/forehand is my Monarch, put that thing on an anhyzer line and it'll S curve right where i want it to go. Found the sticker for the third contest too!
That's interesting that you say to keep your elbow close to your body because it generates more power. I just watched a Brodie Smith video where he said make sure not to have your elbow because you'll lose power. Watching that video made me want to check this video to see what you said. The interesting thing is you said to tuck the elbow which you actually do when you are pulling pack, but when you actually throw your elbow is outwards just like Brodie said.
You're trying to compare the techniques of Ultimate and Disc Golf which are slightly different when it all comes down to it. Ultimate uses very quick and short range sidearm throws where the body is in a very stationary position. As opposed to Disc Golf where it's a full speed run-up, full reach back throw trying to get as much distance as possible. It's best to keep the arm as close to the body as possible (tucking elbow) to increase the arm speed which would deliver a more explosive release.
I hope that all of this make more sense to you as I'm only hear to help you develop a more consistent and productive sidearm throw. Best of luck with practice!!
Thanks. Caught a few tips I didn't know. Dig these. I drive almost exclusively side arm due to a damaged left knee that I can't pivot or produce any step off power with.
my basic throw is sidearm, but I lack a lot of distance (ok maybe it has something to do with how old I am) but I am going to try some of these tips and see what happens. I have only been playing for a few months so I am still new to the game but I enjoy it greatly!
It's like jake1260 said, it's exactly the same concept but just reverse for all the right-handed throwing techniques. I'm glad that you liked the Video!
I thought I was weird for throwing sidearm. I've tried and tried to throw the traditional way across the chest but no matter how much I practice I have not power behind it. I use it for short putts. My drive though can go on for days and I'm usually at par or +1. I'm about to play today and I'm going to use the information from this video to hopefully improve my game. :) thanks for the upload!
Same here, I just started with discgolf about 2-3 weeks ago and I love it. My friends have all gotten pretty good with backhand throws and can throw pretty far, they are usually on par or +1 on our 18 course, I am still pretty bad, my previous personal best was 92 throws on the 18 course, I don't think I had a single par there. I tried to practice abit forehand and I've improved alot, went down from 92 to 80, 3 pars and the rest par +1 or +2 (and yet it felt like I had a bad game) and I feel like I'm having alot more control with forehand.
If you want to go duck hunting then have me throw a side arm. Still working on my RHBH from the other vid. Hopefully I'll be able to pick it up sooner than later because there's a couple of holes I need it on. Thanks for another good video...I'll be bookmarking this one.
I hold my forehand with my index and middle fingers together on the inside of the rim, with opposite pressure from my thumb, which is on top back near the rim. It balances on my bent ring finger, and I keep my elbow tight to my body when I whip through. I'll have to experiment with some of these grips.
I am a very good backhand player trying to work on my sidearm. I can throw sidearms but I can't seem to get the distance because I get a lot of speed wobbles in the disc right after release. Any tips to help me release a clean flying shot? Maybe 1 out of every 10 sidearms I throw is clean. I need that to be 10/10
Really been improving my game but the sidearm has eluded me. Avery's method seems sooo different from how sara hokum throws. The more limited motion, facing more forwards, less bending at the knees and hips, while still getting strong follow through is just makes more sense to me. I hope trying this out will help. I think I was really struggling with too much motion trying to throw her way. She gets some crazy power though! Hope with a lot of practicing and these tips I'll see improvement. Thoughts?
Not so sure about the palm to the sky thing. Lots of players supinate the wrist and let it roll over after the hit point. Jerm,eagle etc Its a more natural motion and i think its the right way to go in the end. Palm to sky its for beginners to learn the right release point without turning discs over. Any thoughts on that?
I threw almost exclusively side arm in my early few years. Now i can only backhand. I cant get any distance with side arm now. I avoid it unless i need to do it on mid range shots.
That's because you had better stability(healthy joints, tendons, ligaments), muscle mass, overall cellular vitality, & testosterone in your younger years. Your motivation (usually vagina-related) dropped as you aged, simultaneously, your will power to maintain health while improving & becoming better than you were yesterday dropped. You probably settled down & started "accepting reality" that you were getting older. Am I right or wrong here? Either way, I'm no judge, I'm dealing with poop in my own undies over here. But know that you are capable of so much more than you believe. Perception is your reality. Keep that fire alive. Cut the fat outta your life: unmotivated friends, unhealthy habits, monotonous routines, trendiness, etc. and become the man God created you to be. Day by day, always improving & bettering. Not for selfish desires but as an inspiration to the world. Seeking excellence not perfection. We're imperfect by nature, but God is graceful & has amazing plans for us. Get your old ass back in the gym & get that body back to 1998 baby,! Truly loving others begins with loving ourselves first. Stay young-minded but old-hearted. Take advantage of time while we got it. I'm not preaching or trying to offend. I just live my truth & share my testimony. I say all this out of love & experience. Your potential is off the charts, you just need the courage to start, the discipline to persevere, & the faith to overcome. Believe it first, or nobody else will.
So does any kind of destroyer :D and they are easier to control then a boss! but your thinking the right direction...as high speed as a boss is its alot easier to have an errant shot with that then a destroyer make sense?
Dropping the disc down at 90 degrees before levelling it out seems ridiculous. McBeth does it too. Why? Keep it parallel to the ground throughout the process. (Forehanding since Frisbees were invented). Everything else in this video is spot on.
The biggest problem I have that I don't see covered very much in any instructional videos is the angle of the disc when released. how little or much hyzer you need to have on a slightly understable driver to keep it level and not turn over. Or even stable or overstable driver to keep it flat in the air. I can throw decent distance on a full hyzer shot but when I wanna have a sweet level throw like avery here I have a hard time aiming my throw or end up flipping it over frequently
Quick question. Do you need a lot of upper body strength for great distance in this video or is it more how you throw it? Im a skinny person so I wasnt sure. Ive always used this throw. I can get around 200-250 ft. I feel I can get way more distance. So i think its my follow thru. Please Reply. Thanks!
Destroyer was my main disc until the Boss came out, yes i have flicked a destroyer a million times but i get an extra 50+ feet from my boss and i have no issues with control, plus my home course has several par 4&5's where distance is crucial../
I only use my sidearm for drives or upshots that have to go right, I don't use it for distance. I've got a flat-top 157 12x Champ Firebird and it works great; it's light so I can generate some velocity in the shot, but it's stable enough that it's not going to flip with a good toss. My bud Kevin uses C-line PD's and PD2's, as well as Star Destroyers, and Allen throws Lat 64; he uses a VIP Boatman, Opto XXX, and an Opto Halo for distance.
What if I am throwing an anhyzer flex shot with my forehand? Do I still keep my palm up or is the wrist roll necessary in that case? I filmed myself the other day for the first time and was surprised to see that I did roll my wrist in that case.
nesnejls I throw these a little bit with a Justice. I got my sidearm game better with Avery's videos and found a tip from his backhand video helped with this: do everything the same way you normally do, but only change the angle of the disc. So for an anhyzer flex shot for a forehand, do what Avery says here, but give the disc an anhyzer angle
18bigegan Cheers. I guess the choices are change the angle of my arm swing (so it would be higher for an anhyzer) or change the angle of my wrist. It sounds like you are suggesting the latter.
You have to see Avery throw this in person. The video does no justice as to the sound, snap, and beauty of this throw. Want to learn this throw for the ultimate field to take a 45 yard forehand to a 100+ yard forehand huck.
To clarify I understand you wouldn't want to fully extend, but I think calling it tucking the elbow might be the wrong wording, since you don't actually tuck the elbow you do keep it a decent distance from the body.
Blayz McBride If you're talking about the big "O" he makes with his hand, it's just personal preference. If you watch videos of Paul McBeth playing you see that he usually makes two "O's"
It's all the same concept... We leftys just have to do the same thing we always do, adapt by changing right to left/ left to right. Technique is technique my friend.
Stop skipping leg day in the gym bro. Get juicy so you can support those hips in turn stabilizing your back & shoulders. Throwing your best = feeling your best. Peace unto you ♡

That's what I love to hear and I'm glad that the Sidearm Power Grip provided immediate improvement on your Sidearm Distance in the field, Congrats!!
my sidearm has been struggling, watched this yesterday and hit the course and was throwing 300+. absolutely awesome videos!! keep it up!
Great video! I've been throwing sidearm consistently over the past 2 years, and occasionally have errant shots turn left and roll on me when going for extra distance. The second "keeping your palm to the sky" was mentioned, I figured out my issues.

Nicely written script, and great tips Avery and friends. I may learn to throw forehand yet. Your Mom, Dad, and sister gotta be proud. :-)
I must have watched every one of these videos at least 5 times. Just fantastic, can't wait for the next one.
looking forward to trying these techniques to improve my sidearm shot. I hope I haven't developed any fatal bad habits that I can't break. Clean cutty BTW, love the blue with white interior and top!
I like your teaching style...Keep em' coming!
Thanks discmania, I´ve had problems with my putting and my forehand throws. I think i got many useful tips from this "Deep In The Game" series. It´s also a very well done series, so thanks a lot! : )
Well done instructional video. Cool car and music.

Thank you for doing these videos it has helped me tremendously as a beginning disc golf player
Good info, well explained, and much better sound/video than the usual amateurish crap you find on TH-cam.
This is why a lot of good/top pros throw destroyers instead of bosses... even though a boss has the flight characteristics to go further. Well put Tyler!
keep up the great work!!! these seem to get better with every edition!!

Great video. Great tips. Can't wait to try this
very true. Even Feldberg (who has his signature on all champion boss's) has all destroyers in his bag, he carries 5 of them if im not mistaken.
I love doing rollers this will also help me being a natural forehand thrower
Best one so far!
Good stuff Avery!

Nice Ride you have there AJ
Awesome, that's great to hear, keep up the great work!!
I hold my forehand with my index and middle fingers together on the inside of the rim, with opposite pressure from my thumb, which is on top back near the rim. It balances on my bent ring finger, and I keep my elbow tight to my body when I whip through. I'll have to experiment with some of these grips.
Started to watch this with 50% speed and I'll have to say, instead of being educational this turned into something hilarious.
great video on side arm thanks amigo

Best info out there for sidearm!
Great tips!
Great video!
Why can't there be ultimate videos that are this well made?
I'm wearing the Keen De Laveaga Disc Golf Shoe, they are available on the Keen Footwear Website.
I could improve my technique very well. Thank you!!!!
Really been improving my game but the sidearm has eluded me.

Hope with a lot of practicing and these tips I'll see improvement.
Thoughts?
+Noah Robinson check out Scott Stokelys sidearm/driving. He throws from the hip
Think I just improved 30-50 yards on my drive. Thanks!!
cberney1. He says in the video that he throws the pd2 chaos. However, I believe he throws Destroyers more often.
Not so sure about the palm to the sky thing. Lots of players supinate the wrist and let it roll over after the hit point.

HD very nice touch
Oh and btw, slightly warn Echo Boss (13,5,-1,3) is an amazing disk for sidearm!
You can honestly begin at 1:15 and you'll miss nothing.
I threw almost exclusively side arm in my early few years. Now i can only backhand. I cant get any distance with side arm now. I avoid it unless i need to do it on mid range shots.

Disc golf and ultimate use a lot of similar concepts. I have a forehand video on my channel that you may find helpful.

who knew disc golf could be so badass
Going to buy some golf disc´s now :D
Avery which model of Keen shoe are you wearing?
anyone know where you can get a bag like the one at :37 please and thank you
Would the disc recommendations for a left hander learning the side arm technique?
I only use my sidearm for drives or upshots that have to go right, I don't use it for distance. I've got a flat-top 157 12x Champ Firebird and it works great; it's light so I can generate some velocity in the shot, but it's stable enough that it's not going to flip with a good toss.

nice at my home course
what is end txt music??? band and song.
8 year old video and totally helped my Forehand! (sorry sidearm doesn't sound right)
It's a Grip-eq brand bag. Check their website by googling: grip-eq
Which Keens are those? (the shoes) Anyone?
complete name of the songs would be very nice ;)
Theme Song of the Episode 3: Airhead - River Cop
its a Grip Equipment bag!
To clarify I understand you wouldn't want to fully extend, but I think calling it tucking the elbow might be the wrong wording, since you don't actually tuck the elbow you do keep it a decent distance from the body.
Just a suggestions, don't but your next episode links on the bottom of the video, it's very hard to click through the pause button.
All I do is sidearm but I don't do that wind up like he does. Still consistently throw 300-400 feet
Blayz McBride If you're talking about the big "O" he makes with his hand, it's just personal preference. If you watch videos of Paul McBeth playing you see that he usually makes two "O's"
Aww 7 people still cant sidearm. Hahahaha! Great video!
It's all the same concept... We leftys just have to do the same thing we always do, adapt by changing right to left/ left to right. Technique is technique my friend.
try a discmania website, thats who he is sponsored by
Keep your palm to the sky and don't roll your wrist. I had the same problem (still working on it).
Stop skipping leg day in the gym bro. Get juicy so you can support those hips in turn stabilizing your back & shoulders. Throwing your best = feeling your best. Peace unto you ♡
You need more spin to stop wobbling or maybe your not getting a clean release.
But but but you can do 300 with the usual powergrip too. In the end, I suppose, whatever works for everyone..
