3 Things you MUST DO to break the 400ft mark on your Disc Golf Drives.

[@NoahLewisDG]

I am glad you said that youve begun fixing the major problems that people face when going to 400 feet and arent one of those bs youtuber that say it will immediately get you there. throwing far in disc golf takes so much time to figure out, and while nitpicking at your form can help, these are all good points that will put you on track!

[@hotbeefdiscgolf]

Cheers!!! 🖖

[@Captivateitmedia]

Love your vids, they are also great as they are short vids to the point as to 20 mins + vids that Robbie creates. Thank you. :)

[@hotbeefdiscgolf]

Thank YOU! Appreciate the feedback! Hope they are helpful! haha 🖖

[@rogerburk]

Super helpful info, bro! TY for breaking this down in an easy way to understand. First video I’ve seen on that grip part. Going to put this into practice!

[@hotbeefdiscgolf]

Cheers! Let me know how it works out for you! 🖖

[@kevinkevinholt]

I've literally never heard anybody explain it as having your thumb pushing forward on the disc opposite of the fingers and it makes so much sense! I have recently found a lot of nose-down success with tilting the disc down a bit on my reachback (i.e. the side closest to my body and opposite my hand is tilted downward slightly but I'm not fully "briefcasing" it). I just have never liked the wrist tension of relying on pouring the coffee. But hearing this advice I think it's worth another shot.

[@hotbeefdiscgolf]

Cheers dude! Hope it helps. I found it to be something I have to drill in but no longer need to actiely think about. 🖖

[@JaredTG.]

That hand thing is on point. The days I'm throwing the best I really feel it roll out of my hand and pop at the very end.

[@hotbeefdiscgolf]

The moment that clicked for me I noticed my discs started staying in the air longer!

[@JaredTG.]

@@hotbeefdiscgolf absolutely, I still haven't quite got it locked down how to get that feeling consistently but I know when I do feel it I'm about to get a nice flight out of the disc.

So - point nr.2 , works like a charm i would say.. I have a towel with a stitched-in loop that I stick my middle finger through to practice swings .. I was doing regular swings like I do, whipping the towel and feeling the power ( I throw around 350-380 feet). Feeling warm in the body I tried this coil with the hips - focusing on everything - I whipped through like always and the towel went flying through the living room - and in between my fingers was a torn piece of the towel ... :-o This weekend I'm doing fieldwork - it will be interesting to see if the power is real!

[@hotbeefdiscgolf]

Oh man I love to hear it! Keep me informed how it works for you. There were so many things I didn't realize that I was or wasn't doing before filming myself regularly, so all these little adjustments pushed me from about 370-440. Hopefully theres more to go.

[@ViJt-oq5nq]

Yoooo, that grip tip is probably gonna be money. I've been trying to push down with the thumb and up with the back fingers, but that push n pull feels way more comfortable. Can't wait to try it in the field. Edit. It works.

[@hotbeefdiscgolf]

Its an adaptation of what I saw from Holyn Handley tip!

[@hotbeefdiscgolf]

So glad that it worked for you! CHEERS! 🤝

[@Boltzi]

Actually he didnt mention the most important part on how to get nose down and he uses it too... leave the little finger out of it. Its that simple.

[@hotbeefdiscgolf]

Oh my gosh I didn't mention that! I totally forgot. I have to use a 3 finger grip because my hands are smaller! The 3 finger was the only way I could reach that far nose down lol!

[@ViJt-oq5nq]

@@Boltzi With my old grip I was using pinky to push the back up to help tilt it down. Now it just sits there under the rim for comfort, but not really doing anything or applying any pressure.

[@mikestone1533]

I’ve watched a lot of form and training videos, but this short video has been one of the most helpful. I never understood coiling the hips until you showed the motion. I realized I’ve been throwing essentially without hip coil. I’m working on it now and I played one of my best league rounds today and went out to the field and promptly threw a 350’ shot and averaged my drivers at about 325’ coming from an average of 285 previously. Thanks for the video!

[@hotbeefdiscgolf]

Dude! So glad it was helpful! This makes it all worth making!🤝

[@lesfritzemeier8900]

Always struggled with nose angle… Never heard the thumb, finger push, pull before. It feels right just sitting here and will try it as soon as I hit the field. Thanks!

[@hotbeefdiscgolf]

Cheers! Hope it helps! 🤝

[@JuhoPesonen]

@@hotbeefdiscgolf It helped a lot! My discs have never made this kind of sound when I throw them as they do after this hint. I have tried everything to get the disc nose down but this has been by far the most effective change to my grip ever. Thank you!

[@robertjones1730]

As someone who recently got to the 400' mark I think that not every element of a throw is equally weighted in importance. Ultimately for a disc to go 400', it has to be released fast. You have to accelerate the disc from zero to say 65 MPH in the short distance you pull through. That MOSTLY takes power delivered correctly. Think cars and acceleration. If you were limited to 1/10 of a mile to accelerate to 65 MPH there's a lot of factors that HELP, like lighter car, wheel lightness, aerodynamics, traction, body stiffness. But ultimately you need a certain amount of power and torque to make it happen, or it simply WON'T happen. Work on building your core and arm strength specifically on the motions involved in a throw and you'll see the biggest gains the fastest. Impeccable form with 250' of power will get you 250'. Trash form with 500' of power might get you 300. The perfect form is only going to delivery the maximum your muscles are limited to.

[@Boltzi]

And its mainly about explosive power, not just big muscles. Just wanted to correct that much since thinking about musclecars with 500hp is not the same thing 😅

[@notablediscomfort]

​@@Boltzi you're thinking more of "slow twitch" muscle, which is what you train for endurance. strength training will make you faster. the muscles that move fast are the same ones that move weight. face pulls, reverse cable flyes, etc. that train rear delts and traps will make you throw faster. also consider what exactly goes in in the rest of your body that isn't your arm. your legs don't move fast in a throw. getting them strong at slow movements will make them a better base to throw from. same with the rest of the body. you can train every part of the movement in a gym and have it positively affect your throwing speed.

[@russellsullivan7366]

Solid advice.

[@hotbeefdiscgolf]

TY TY Brother🤝

[@Lyzog]

will try this next time i play especially the hip thing

[@hotbeefdiscgolf]

Cheers!

[@DeleteChinwaka]

Thanks dude great video. new sub keep it up

[@hotbeefdiscgolf]

Thanks man!!!!

[@rageoid]

Real solid, like it. I've seen may folks say do not curl the wrist. Moving hand around disc seems to require some curl ? Yes ? No ? not so much ? Thanks !

[@hotbeefdiscgolf]

I curl a little bit. I think everyone has different advice on that because it's one of those things that changes for each body and mobility. Cheers!

[@Eaglemadhatter]

I can feel it when I sling versus throw but no 400' 😂 Will you do the field work for me so I'll be ready for the course?

[@hotbeefdiscgolf]

Absolutely! Your fieldwork max today will be about 415' without skips

[@cwick7223]

I like the subject, info, and video length, you keep adjusting your glasses though

yeah i think its time for a new pair haha. TY TY

[@JuliusDiscGolf]

New to the channel. That intro sound is ceeepy and weird 🤣 great tips though!

[@hotbeefdiscgolf]

Haha! TY! Will consider a new one soon!

[@Miiloh]

I thought you were supposed to coil your shoulders against your hips, wouldn't coiling your hips just take away power?

[@hotbeefdiscgolf]

I think this is a good talking point. Perhaps this might be one of those things thats different for each thrower. I know that with my range of motion, I physically cannot coil my shoulders full without my hips, and that by rotating my hips counter clockwise and then clockwise I feel all of the muscles in my back and core fire. Worth investigating!!!

[@jerramy1997]

No

[@Miiloh]

​@@jerramy1997 I mean if you don't coil your shoulders against your hips, and you start your throw by turning your hips. What would that initially do? Nothing. But coiling your shoulders against your hips will create more tension in your torsoe, causing power to be more efficiently transfered from your lower body to your upper body. When you fire your hips, your shoulders will also move, which is more powerful/efficient. Correct me if I'm wrong, but to me coiling your shoulders against your hips makes more sense from a biomechanics standpoint.

[@harleybk3]

400 feet? I’ve been playing over 3 years and can’t even regularly get to 300 feet.

Physocs: that's not true - a bullet is made to spin to prevent it from tumbling, which would slow it down.

[@tarverator]

Why do you add background music? I came here to hear what you had to say about throwing, but the noise is very distracting. I could download the video, upload to an AI tool that strips music, download and watch... but that's a lot of work. If you're trying to entertain or sell, sure go ahead and do what you want, but if you're actually trying to communicate and teach, please for the love of God respect #accessibility and don't add noise.

[@hotbeefdiscgolf]

Thank you for the feedback! This is genuinely helpful. I had no intention of being exclusionary. You could also mute the video and turn on closed captioning, that would be easier. I will reflect on your constructive advice though and really put it into consideration for future uploads.
