3 things you NEED for a PERFECT throw!!

In this video Tomas Ekström talks about 3 different things needed for a perfect disc golf throw - whether you´re a beginner or not. And WHY those things are needed. It´s also about the difficulty to have all 3 working well together.
The 3 steps are the Stop (weight transfer), the Twist and the Arm. ”Stop” meaning the moment the foot in front - in the final stance during the throw (right foot with a right handed backhand) comes to a complete stop transferring the energy from the run-up up in and up in the body and ultimately to the disc. The Twist comes right after the reach back when the lower and upper body are twisted opposite each other. Creating a spring effect when the upper body then follows the throwing motion of the hips (think of it as twisting the upper half of an actual spring and then letting go). Same idea here. The Arm is the final step. Pulling the disc, giving it said power from the Stop and the Twist.
NOTE!
These steps doesn´t happen in an A,B,C-pattern necessarily. It all happens very fast hence the diffuculty getting everything right when timing the throw. And having 2 out of these 3 steps is relatively easy and something that most people can get. It´s added that 3rd thats the tricky part. But this (having all 3) combined with a good timing is KEY to throw as far as you possible can!
We hope you enjoy the video and do let us know if there´s something you´d like to see on the channel :)

This series of videos, along with how fun of a game Disc Golf Valley is, led me to purchase some L64 discs (like a lot of folks I started with the Innova 3 disc starter kit and hadn't really even considered L64) as a way to show my appreciation for the quality content. I'm a Pure convert and want many more of them for practice, now. I guess what I'm saying is thank you.

[@mawage666]

I've been playing 22 years and can still barely throw over 300 on a good shot. I still haven't figured out that whip action but think if I keep practicing things I will get it soon.

[@mawage666]

I always think it's funny to walk into a pro shop and say, "I'm looking for a disc that can go really far" haha.

[@mawage666]

@Jeremy Kins There's one hole at Blue Ribbon Pines in Minnesota that has distance markers 200', 250', 300'... It's a 750' par 4 wide open field. One time I made it to right about the 250' marker, 2nd shot was right in line with the 500' marker, 3rd shot went right in the chains for a birdie! It was absolutely sick!

[@StarBuck411]

Love these videos. As a new player (old new player) they are very helpful! You should talk about the stretches some of us old folks should do before we go out and throw. I just pulled something behind my knee, probably due to cold weather and not stretching I would guess.

Throwing good is just a set of multiplication variables. Fixing the worst chain link is always better, but increasing all is also good.

[@justinfinch2458]

thats great!! =)

[@hiiiiibyyyyy]

We need more of Jonathan and Thomas

[@gannonolson6294]

I think it'd be interesting to see the form difference between the '426 thrower and the '526 thrower. In my area there are plenty of people with 426 distance, but very few with 526 and beyond. So at least to me, it doesn't really matter if you throw 426 since that's what the good distance throwers are throwing already.. but yes.. I know this is a beginner series. And you guys are doing a great job chronicling the beginner's journey. Keep it up!

[@gannonolson6294]

Also, I'd love to see Tristan Tanner's reaction when you tell him the reason he can't throw far is because his run-up is too slow 🤣

[@Latitude64]

Haha maybe I´ll tell him in person one day. As he starts his walk-up. "you know Tristan...."😂😂

[@gannonolson6294]

That analogy doesn’t necessarily make sense, you’re still throwing at 50km/h if you’re on a trailer going 50km/h? Am I wrong?

[@radroberts1877]

Are you guys going to ask for forehand videos from viewers and then provide tips as you did for backhands? Would be super helpful

[@Latitude64]

That´s a good idea! I´ll put in on the list and maybe it´ll be a video. Thank you! /Jonathan

[@raunomyllyla8061]

but if you stretch your hand back before throwing, the speed of the disc stops for a moment.

[@amckay2266]

i think this is slightly false. you can't add all of those together as the run up is only setting up the coil. most power i feel comes from how far you can "wind" the coil and accelerate it. the further you wind the coil means the more time you have to build acceleration through the motion, not to mention the other factors like spin rate that go into the overall potential energy of that discs flight.

Ahh, so I need to take my boat OFF of the trailer!? LOL Usually, when I get these elements arranged perfectly my fellow golfers are amazed at the smoothness and apparent ease of my throw. unfortunately I rarely get them right when trying to "kill" a drive! Slow is smooth and smooth is fast they say...but pacing the approach without hesitation and having smooth momentum is the challenge. Along with not rounding and making sure the angle of release is correct and......having fun in the meantime (doh!)

And yet Tristan Tanner has like the slowest walk up ever and just bombs the discs.

[@StarBuck411]

If you have awesome arm speed I guess you can get away with more. If you are average and want to do good you need it all.

[@ptbfrch]

I think it’s more about acceleration than the outright walk-up speed. If you study how TT accelerates through the rotation, with immense power from the hips, it seems he doesn’t need to run up. It’s like a powerful explosion when he unleashes the disc. He did a form breakdown with slow motion video.

[@bradleyhcobb]

[@missedputts]
