Only been playing a few years. Really like the new logo looks great.

This is my third season and my son got me into the game. Really interested in trying that little space on the palm of the power grip. I am going to give that a try.

Love the details about your grip

Love the details about your grip

Started playing Spring of this year at 52 years old. My brother has played for years and got me interested in it. I have a course close to me and I wanted another reason to get outside. My biggest struggle is placement off the tee.

I don’t do any social media so can only post here. I am 3 months into playing disc golf and am addicted so everything about my game needs help lol. So thankful I found your channel as the way you explain things 100% make sense to me. Thanks for the content!

I got a bro I've been trying to go play with but until then I'll keep learning from your videos.

I started playing with my son back in early 2000 just for fun. Then, we started playing again in 2021. This time we played more seriously. I like the content of your videos, you give a lot of good advice that applies to guys that have slower arm speed like me. Thanks

I really like that logo. I was introduced to DG 13 years ago on my 30th birthday. My wife needed a way to get me away from the house to throw me a surprise, so she recruited a friend to take me. It was love at first throw, but I didn't really start working on my game and playing consistently until the past couple years. I still can't seem to figure out distance - I've maybe touched 300 a couple times. If I could throw 300 consistently and relatively accurately I'd be happy with that.

I started playing disc golf for my son's 8th birthday party. It was a first for both of us and we were instantly hooked. Since then, he has taken disc golf up as his homeschool sport of choice. I work from home and we are able to head out almost daily to play. We have been participating in local events and now have his teen cousins playing as well. My biggest struggle is consistency. When I get out there with others, I tend to mentally abandon my game and mimic their approach. I need to learn to stay focused and play the way I know I can be successful.

Started playing back in the early 90’s with some buddies I worked with (John and Hector) recently got back into it a few years ago with an invite from a buddy named Steve. My biggest struggle is adjusting my form for more distance.

My buddy started me playing early 2021 and been in love with it since. I’d say I struggle with high speed driver(on hyser-flip) accuracy.

I've been playing on and off for 7 years; however, for the past 6 months, I've been hitting it hard and enjoying the game with my wife and daughter, not sure who got me into the game but enjoy watching your videos and Robby C for the amazing tips, my struggles would be consistency off the box and forehand.

Dude, I hope this helps. Im a a 63yo getting back into dg, need all the help i can get. Later!!!

Homie that disc didn’t go anywhere near where you indicated and that also wasn’t 400 feet

Enjoying your content Tony. Thanks!

Thanks for the video! Appreciate the info. Slow and smooth is the way. Especially with my footwork for me.

Hallo greetings from Denmark 😊 Thank you for your great videos, this is really helpful. I pull with my shoulders and elbow collapse. Looking forward too see how this helps 👍

The funny thing about KZbin is that you don't want a high percentage of subscribers only watching the video, or your channel isn't growing.

Just found your channel. Great video.

Nose down has nothing to do with pouring tea or turning keys. It is the result of the physics of gyroscopic precession. A spinning disc in flight is affected by outside forces 90 degrees in the direction of rotation away from where the external force is applied. Pete Ulibarri has a video that explains it in detail but is easy to understand - kzbin.info/www/bejne/sH2UnIyLhrdsiMU&pp=ygUNcGV0ZSB1bGliYXJyaQ%3D%3D and also this video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6C8Y5mFp86WhpYsi=PpOaJxa3AN1dSYwb The fact of the matter is that nose down release happens because the last point of contact with the disc is the forefinger applying an upward force on the disc on its way to "snapping" into the thumb. The application of this upward force can be seen 90 degrees in the direction of rotation. The disc lifting slightly at this location is what pushes the nose side opposite to be down.

Right

A note on wind: whether a headwind lifts the disc and makes it sail or knocks it down depends on nose angle. I tend to putt nose down which knocks it down. So while nose up putters (most people it would seem) aim low into a headwind, I have to aim high (and the opposite is true for tailwind).

This helped me think about nose down totally differently. Thank you. I am going to practice this. I subscribed..

Amazing tips. I struggle with nose angle. And top out at like 300 feet. I took notes and will bring this to the field tomorrow. Thanks man! Great and straight forward video.

Nice tips and shooting. The basket numbers are messed up... LOL

Appreciate the short guy playing tactics awesome video keep it up

People stay away from higher speed discs if they have a "slow" arm or don't throw that far. I've been looking at a Bolt because I have two 158g Havocs that I can get out 300' forehand and backhand three feet off the ground in a straight line. Distance is also a function of where you play. I'm in the woods hitting gaps and tunnels so I just never naturally developed anything that resembles a distance shot. I've mostly decided I'm OK with 300 as long as it's low and straight. Even if I find myself on a huge open course eventually it's not like I can't just do that twice (since I'm not a pro and started in my mid 40s). Also being in the short category I find a "full" reach back doesn't do much but hurt my accuracy. Extending my joints does very little for physics. I greatly appreciate the sample selection here to look at since be a foot taller won't be a helpful tip. I can also say that I put on 30lbs of muscle from a starting point of already trained for 30 years and it did nothing for my distance. It just made it so I can rip on discs and my shoulder isn't going to go down the fairway with the disc so moving a few grams of plastic doesn't change even if you're training for being explosive and getting much stronger.

Loving your videos. Thanks for the tips.

@let_it_fly_dg, thank you for the great tips. We have similar arm speed and height (you have much better form than I) so these videos are excellent for me. I appreciate the time you put into them. I hope your channel does great, man.

Tony, you're a gifted teacher! Thank you for your explanation of this technique

Good job on this video.

Great job Tony lots of great tips in there

If pouring the coffee works and not turning the key, then the trajectory is perpendicular to your torso. That means you are over rotating your upper body, or you are letting the disc slip out or letting go too early. If the trajectory of the disc is closer to parallel to your torso, then turning the key works. It is important to have a trajectory more parallel because that means you are better utilizing the fulcrum point to rapidly increase angular velocity. Just think about a new player "grip locking" a disc. Grip locks are usually some of their furthest throws, just way off line. Max distance throws are essentially "grip locks," but because the torso is still parallel with the target at the point of release, the disc flies on the intended path.

that tail wind was strong. There's way less resistance to slow down a disc so it will carry further. High glide keeps it in the air longer too. Then there's the hella big skip that happened when everyone yelled OHHH.

Great advice! Thanks!!

Thanks again, great video as always.

Nice job, Tony ... thanks.

I love your analogy of scraping the rim on the ground.

Another great video! I would be interested in seeing your setup/technique for videoing yourself during a round as it can seem burdensome/time consuming to do this sometimes.

Love it keep it up

MASHED POTATOES

I’ve seen this course!!!

Nicely done. Enjoyed it!

I am not certain, but I think it is partially about the off arm position. The further forward the off arm is (towards the direction of throwing) it seems like the less “deep” pocket you can get into. Everyone’s flexibility is going to be different, but I think it is the back muscles that are the limiting factor (if you don’t retract your shoulder).

Cool seeing everything you've been teaching applied on the course.

One day want to learn backhand

People should worry less about power pocket, and worry more about rounding.

making form is like cocking a dinner, more salt or more carrots etc to make it better just add salt or something else, watch all video ask ai look at slow motion of any discgolfer to discover new things, campare, split up shadow swings in smaller parts, campare to a trebuschet or a tennis player to find out perfect form and find out optimal release to get most speed of everything, so many ways to throw a disc its crazy no one know the optimal form, use physics to calculate angles, never settle there might be tricks that no one figure out yet. lets find them 🤗

That other guy threw it into the ground!!!
