Beginner tips to Park Upshots like a Pro: Ricky Wysocki's Sockibomb Slammer

[@gregrussell1787]

Ricky is like a confetti cannon of disc golf knowledge!

[@maxray29]

this is the first time i've ever heard anyone connect nose angle to the relationship of the wrist to the elbow; i'll have to experiment with that idea a bit in the field this week. would also love to know if Ricky does anything different with his grip for upshots. otherwise very cool to see his thought-process for these approaches.

[@Robotron2084Guide]

Seppo talks about this in videos from past years.

[@bigjim4x]

So many people teach that method. Uli has several upshot videos teaching that.

[@Robotron2084Guide]

@@bigjim4x I cringe a bit whenever touring pro’s try to teach average audience when it comes to sidearm. Ricky has very perfect head-to-hip centering with great hip/knee movement when he did those upshots (as taught in ball golf form) Which keeps the rotational torque off his elbow. An average player is likely swinging rotationally and not centered so when they trying to mess with elbow positioning it will lead to inevitable tendon strain in the tennis elbow/golfer’s elbow category.

[@bigjim4x]

@@Robotron2084Guide Agreed! If you watch the stuff Uli teaches its a little more amature friendly.

[@bud6294]

He does change the grip on forehand, but not on backhand. On the Forehand normally, his fingers are together pressed against the rim. On upshots though, his fingers are spread out, which he says helps him with angle control.

Thanks Ricky, already loved the slammer. Glad you are Dynamic now. Best of luck champ!

[@joshbogard6740]

The nose up knowledge is crazy never knew hand above the elbow made it nose up... thanks ricky your about to chnage my game

[@mannyflores4507]

I’m a newb, so I bought this strictly for putting. Now I will be using it for upshot’s as well. Thanks for the insight!

[@davidmorton8170]

My third throw after getting this disc was a throw in from 100-150 feet.

[@mikedimatteo5094]

The Socki Slammer transformed my upshot game. Never felt so confident within 150'. Such a great disc!

[@paxtonandriunas8254]

The slammer is such a dope disc. First overstable putter and I love it a lot. Mr socki created a dope disc

[@Rew123]

I love my classic Slammer and new Sockinomb version! No speed, no glide. So good for upshots.

[@calebdyer6332]

Great tips as always

[@jasonkrajewski9673]

Anyone know what disc he was throwing?? Didn't hear him mention it during the video Just kidding great tips! Forehand nose up tip is money

[@davegentry7576]

get better soon rick!!!!

[@videosverigenu4621]

My ricky slammer should arrive tomorrow, so this is very welcome 🤓

[@pbz7455]

Awesome tips Rick! Keep them coming! I have 2 Sockibomb Slammers on the way can't wait to try them!

[@mrziplineds5257]

The Socki Slammer is amazing! Such a good approach disc. Cant wait for premium plastic runs!

[@tfaseffiS]

They are not gonna come i think.. gonna be to heavy. It's the same with innovas 🐷

[@camutk]

I have this disc-it’s great.

[@wesmoorer3638]

Amazing 🤩. Thank you. Personally I think many people over look is a nice mid range shot. It is something I still see pros mess up on . I still need to work on everything. Thank you for the advice

[@catchingcabbage5056]

I picked up a few slammers, I also throw harps as well. I wonder if Ricky will stop throwing the Harp or if there's still some situations he may use one.

[@barrypeirson3710]

He still bags them for longer approaches I'm pretty sure

[@Jparker941]

Is the slammer like the Discraft Zone?

[@jimo6560]

How if any do the sockibomb slammers fly differently than the originals?

[@barrypeirson3710]

Yes they are different. Ricky designed Sockibomb slammer to be "Classic slammer top with Harp bottom" Non-sockibomb slammers have a bead.

[@BillFromAZ]

How many times does he say Slammer? :)

[@Theaddekalk]

LATITUDE RIVES ON THE GROUND!?

[@DrFlemingR]
