All my favorite drills!

[@JBGarland]

I am a doctor, and heel rotation is absolutely recommended to reduce strain and stress to the patellar tendon and ACL in the anterior aspect of the knee. Great advice and video!

[@Not-your-enemy1]

Can't believe a KZbinr ended a video without saying "hit like and subscribe". It shows he really loves disc golf and just wants to share knowledge. What a great human being!

[@ShawnPavel]

Towel Drill: 1:50 Line Drill: 2:46 Crush the Can Drill: 4:32 One-Step Drill: 7:01 Door Frame Drill: 7:46 Wall Drill: 9:10 Heavy Bottle Drill: 10:24

[@nestlebestly]

Who ever came up with these drills must have been a shot putter/discus thrower. See a lot of similarities to drills from my days coaching.

[@iralennon7233]

i guess I'm quite randomly asking but do anyone know a good website to watch new tv shows online?

[@julianmitchell3725]

@Ira Lennon Try FlixZone. Just google for it =)

[@Dougieboy08]

Yo Danny, I'm really, really high and when you cut to the hardware store I fuckin lost it 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@UtahDarkHorse]

Have been playing frisbee forever but just got my first discs. Went into the front yard and took a whole 2 minutes to realize that there's a big difference. Using all of your drills now. Thanks for sharing and great work!

[@Javaman92]

I'm a beginner and just a month ago I joined a local disc golf club. Tonight while playing I did a rather short upshot and overshot the pin a bit and said, "I'm amazed how far the disc goes when I'm actually throwing slow. To which both myself and the guy who is the best player in the club said, slow is smooth and smooth is far! lol He then told me to be sure to check out your videos they are the best. I told him I already am aware. Seems your fame is spreading. ;-)

[@keisi1574]

Javaman92 We noticed that you used a long n detailed story to try to distract us from the fact that you had a bad upshot.

[@idunno3302]

you've added 100 ft to my throws already and now even more I didn't know?! thank you! these are amazing, I show them to all my friends who want to learn

[@sashasashasashasasha]

Very well done Danny. I just viewed a bunch of your videos. I like your teaching style; you obviously have a gift for teaching. Not everyone can do it no matter how much they practice. Your editing of your videos is to be commended. No wasted time or meaningless banter. Keep up the great work. I'm 53 years old and I can always learn new things from young people. You have a very friendly personality. Nice Job.

[@johnsingleton1472]

I'm a beginner, and I like the way you explain things concisely. Very nice.

[@Kingofwalruses]

That drill thing at the beginning was a funny “bit”

[@mjp431982]

how about a video on the difference between the "power pocket" and "Strong arming"....Thanks

[@jonspell88]

The worst part about drills? They're boring! (get it?) Thanks for the compilation of tips, will have to try these out.

[@ShockerRepair]

Every time I feel like I'm in a rut with my throws, I watch your videos and it improves my game drastically. Thank you!

[@itsmecarter2]

Hey a good trick for marking a line on grass is using a spray foot powder. It goes on white and you can just dust it off the grass with your feet. I used it a lot for the other golf. Cheers

[@OldBlueDudeGamingMusic]

Thank you Danny. The drills concerning rounding, especially the reach back, are especially important to me. I've managed to get most everything else down *kind of* to where I feel confident but I'm reaching across my body and it's driving me mad, mad I tell you!!! Anyway, thanks, I'm going to start using the wall drills and the water bottle drills. Love the rest of your videos, please, don't stop them.

[@steveackerman5066]

Thank you so much! I had no idea how bad my footing was until I did the line drill. I’m new to the sport and your videos have been really helping with my form. Thanks Danny!

[@djg093]

Thanks Danny! I need to practice my follow through and quite a few of these drills will help!

[@Warkive]

Great, great video. This is a great summary of the most important and commonly referenced drills out there. Now I only need one link instead of six or seven.

[@professorb3744]

I like going to the soccer field and using the painted lines... then I can line drill every time I practice throw!

[@JericoJohnson]

I've seen all of those before, but I forget about them. It's nice to have them all in one place with good audio/video. And the joke was just cheesy enough that it worked :D

[@idocare6538]

I am pretty sure Beto had legwork videos when I watched them years ago but the only thing that seemed to get coverage was the arm work which is awesome for sure.

[@evanbjammin]

Danny, you the man! you've helped my game so much. Along with some other dg tip videos I've seen a huge improvement and I've only been playing for about 9 months. ( I actually look like I know what I'm doing and other people have started asking me for advice 😊 [I try to send them your way]) I struggle the most with forehand throws and it's hard to find the same kind of (in depth) videos for this kind of throw. My request is specifically for a video on short, forehand, up-shots(

[@codydealgaming2041]

This video is MONEYYYYYY Danny! HUGE THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@outbackwack368]

I like this video... A LOT! I am new at this sport and my form is terrible, as are my throws. I will be practicing! Thanks, Danny!

[@squirrelgray945]

Drill joke at the beginning... Awesome.

[@notrenae3381]

Great stuff Danny, you're really teaching like Dave Feldberg did back in the day with Climo.

[@DannyLindahl]

N4 B1S that's a very high compliment! Thank you! I hope one day to have knowledge at that level.

[@zackp6794]

Good stuff, Danny. Looking forward to trying these.

[@J-Swan]

I've seen articles on heel vs toe spinning and it seems that many feel heel spinning adds distance and toe spinning adds accuracy. I agree. Personally I prefer toe spinning, but I know this is not the general consensus. In this video you discuss the health disadvantages of toe spinning, but after years of doing so I feel the only real disadvantage is distance. I comfortably throw 350'+ from the toe which usually gets me by, especially in wooded courses where accuracy typically trumps distance. Do you know of any professionals that prefer toe spinning also? Would you consider doing a video of the pros and cons of both types? Thanks as always for the great videos and info. I recommend your videos all the time.

[@eautio6344]

Very useful drills, as I am trying to correct the problem of running over my front foot due to not planting it firmly enough, thereby preventing the transfer of power from my lower body to the disc. I figure there must be an extra 30-60 feet to be gained from properly planting the front foot and using it as the axis around which your body rotates, ensuring that the power is properly transmitted to the disc.

[@villeollikainen6065]

Damn these drills really work! The wall drill worked great for me because I was rotating my shoulders too early. Thanks!

[@01ai01]

Excellent intro!

[@janimattie]

A great collection of drills! I likedt he wall drill. Have to test it out.

[@seanberry2652]

Good stuff. Can't wait to get to work

[@meimurphy]

These are good, I'll be implementing that wall drill for sure. Any chance they make drills for putting. I have baby hands and have been having insane problems figuring out.

[@MW66VB]

hey man. i love your videos. i have improved my game with them so thanks for the hard work. on topic, here is another solid drill for working on your walkup. this drill is going to differ slightly for each player but results will be the same. you will need some masking tape and can do it inside or out. 1. begin by standing as you would at the start. 2. place tape on ground beneath each foot. 3. do each step of your walkthrough slowly and as you do them, put tape on ground below your foot. Now you should have a piece of tape marking each step and looking similar to how you learn dance moves. practice on this tape and within a week you will show much more form consistency. then add in other aspects such as body angle to shot etc... try it and I hope it works for someone like it did me.

[@jfvasquez3]

Yes. Too much pressure through toes puts stress on knees. Placing weight into heel transfer stress into the lower quads versus knee capsule. This is also used in leg press and various squats. I think you reasoning does save your knees though not sure if this changes control or distance of shot. Thoughts?

[@Quniverse]

Thanks for the guidance!

[@clipnclap4256]

Yeah my foot is jacked up from learning to pivot on my toe. Like pulled tendon type stuff

[@DiscGolfHunter]

Some great drills, keep up the good work.

[@RiceDaddy-wo2fy]

Great video thanks bro

[@aaronburela432]

You are amazing man thanks!

[@Pizzi236]

Great video! Miss you last week.

[@DannyLindahl]

Koldo Toribio the only one to say anything! Haha I would have loved to do something but at the beach there isn't much good footing.

[@Pizzi236]

I´ve working on my form a lot this season (actually I started playing las summer) and your videos are helping me. I´ll send you a video to see if I´m doing something wrong without noticing it. Slow motion video or normal speed?

[@littlemoex0001]

That was so good

[@mspencer3634]

great video

[@MrDweinstein]

This video is amazing. So helpful!!! Where can I send you a two minute video to get a critique of my form?

[@jeffheyer7783]

no other movement that copies disc golf completely, but golf and disc golf are still very similar in having/using rotation, follow through, timing being key. Terms are even similar.

[@sgouletas1]

When is it better to throw an anhyzer instead of a flick? Who do you get the most distance on a wooded dog leg right with a lot of distance after the corner?

[@stephenjoel9417]

Great Vid!!!!

[@Postermaestro]

liked for the intro

[@juliankuhn5990]

The hardest thing for me is rotating on the heel when stepping forward. And i think its cause I'm used to playing golf where when you swing your club and follow thru you rotate your foot on your toe not your heel. Hard thing to unlearn.

[@djwatson82]

Quick question about the bottle drill. What does "pointing the bottle straight back" represent in the throw? For some reason it's stuck out to me as something I'm not doing currently in my reach back (if it does indeed represent some movement). The only thing I could think of is some sort of wrist motion like "neutral -> open -> neutral -> open", where the first "open" represents that moment. I think I tend to keep my wrist neutral through most of the throw (neutral -> neutral -> neutral -> open), which may be robbing me of some extra snap / smoothness. Any insight?

[@humblegar]

Seabas22 did the wall drill too, but not sure if he invented it :)

[@Falascoa]

I love your "drills" hahahaha. Dewalt yo

[@alexanderflieger8095]

That made me laugh way to hard!

[@uniteentierly2773]

loved the intro man! lol

for discgolf with danny BUT NO DOGS or dragons for deuling with daggars in dreadlocks with dang delicious dandilions

[@grants2125]

Thanks for the tips Danny. Do you ever make it to Salina?

[@ROCKONNORG]

Stupid question: Do you have to have long arms to be good at disc golf?

[@GibneyMichael]

Great video, I have actually been working on a similar one myself.

[@DannyLindahl]

Gibney Michael cool! I always like your videos. Thanks for making them!

[@GibneyMichael]

Danny Lindahl thanks man. Hopefully we can colab, at some point when we are at a tournament together.

[@nbwall56]

Danny, You are an amazing coach. Thank you so much for this video. By the way, was that a Taylor guitar?

[@alightened]

drills.. drills... AHhhhhhhhhhhhh i see what ya did there. i laughed

[@lucasgoodding7857]

Oh and seabas22 mentioned that the can should be smashed towards the target - the top of the can gets pushed down and flat closer than the bottom

[@DannyLindahl]

Lucas Goodding Seabas22 is much better at describing his drill than me. That's why I linked his in the description. I think I did a good overview for most people and that's all this was supposed to be.

[@eerohakanen6103]

In Finland crushing can costs 15cents per rep.

[@jeffheyer7783]

But how many rounds will it take to get that 10000 hours in??

[@80westcollective]

Hey! I'm a leftie! I ain't no cheater!

[@stevenmckelvey4210]

Drills 1. Stay sharp 2. Rotate

[@jicklemithers]

...that looked more like an impact driver

[@humbledgaming382]

lol the drill joke.

[@troybaker7528]

for disc golf with Danny but no dogs or dragons for dueling with daggers in dreadlocks with dang delicious dandelions... ???

[@DannyLindahl]

Troy Baker just writing all the D words i could think of.

[@racenuke]

Hey I have milwaukee drills 👍

[@codyoverocker]

the thing im most annoyed by with his opening joke was he walked right past the Milwaukee drills, and picked up a Ridgid driver... lol

[@gregparks8964]

This is frustrating. Most of us can't put a line in the street. I understand this is old, but still.

[@capthowdy]

Hey Danny, how often/long should you spend on each drill? 10, 15 30 mins per drill? Daily? I'm a sidearm player, I'm working on backhand but its proven to be a slow process.

[@DannyLindahl]

Zach Brannan not too long. Do it for a couple of reps and see what it feels like. If you can try throwing and see if you can change your shot to match the drill.

[@capthowdy]

thanks!!

[@mattsnyder4754]

That wasn’t even a drill.... it was an impact driver. 😂

[@idocare6538]

Haha so true

[@chemdent421]

Definitely rotate on your heel if you want to play disc golf past your 40s. You will screw up your knee so badly.

[@sheldonvogt5212]

Danny, you do know that you first showed drills, but finished with impact drivers, right? Seems appropriate

[@lucasgoodding7857]

Haha Shealoac. I love puns and that's why I like your comment AND I like Danny "cheesy" jokes.

[@pdenney24]

Most cheeses do not contain lactose.

Did you actually go to a hardware store to get the shot of the drills? Nerd.

[@hacklemoose]

Copy the moves of you disc golf role model Drill with you Towel or Drained Water Bottle One-step Crush Can hone up your skills These are a few of my favourite drills

[@wa-hy4ho]

Lmao you really think you invented the one step drill? haha

[@DannyLindahl]

I haven't seen this specific variant before. I know Mike C has one but I don't like it. It teaches a different motion entirely. Can you link one like mine?

[@DannyLindahl]

Chrompolitur awesome! I forgot about that part. I guess great minds think alike!

[@DiscGolfUKLtd]

One step has been talked about for a long time, definitely mentioned a lot during DGR days. Part of the working from the hit back idea (the second drill in the "Beto" drill which is actually two drills) was to go standstill/one step/ xstep/run up. Beto glosses over this part in the video (and gets some bits wrong) but it was part of Blake's format for it and I think he borrowed it from someone even further back (I know I've seen a hit back video from the early 2000's but can never find it again) Not sure when the first video was done but Seabas22 was using it as a form correcter for himself back in 2010/11 along with the one leg drill. I'd love to put together a history of everything at some point. I think the wall drill was a Blake T idea but i maybe misremembering, it could have been JHERN or possibly someone else(think it was someone else now and I can't remember the username annoyingly) , think it was first mentioned in the breaking 300' thread on DGR which is where I got the idea and put it into video for friends who were too lazy to read!
