Everything You Need To Know About Nose-Down

[@chapet5]

I feel like every time I have a question about disc golf your channel has an answer. Thank you for that!

[@orb2150tx]

Best dg tips on youtube.

[@chrismanster]

I was literally just trying to figure out (via internet research) why my mids and fairway/distance drivers are all going about the same distance. At least I have an answer now, time to do some field work. As always, keep up the good work! Absolutely love the videos!

[@MrMikey1981]

Same here. Thanks again, Danny.

[@earthwalker4293]

You're a very good teacher. You speak clearly and explain things in an easy-to-understand manner. Thank you.

[@chrissadberry7088]

Just watched this in the middle of my round and threw 2 in a row further than I ever have. 447 ft hole and I'm past the basket on both throws. Thank you Danny!

[@migm227]

just watching the video now! i hope i can fix my problems this quick lol but congrats!

[@janimattie]

A really big thank you for doing these videos for us mere mortals. A huge give back to the DG community.

[@jaron91]

This was EXTREMELY helpful to me, a newbie who picked up a disc for the first time 2 months ago. Biggest jump forward so far for me. Thank you.

[@kinger99]

Just getting into this sport, and your videos have great technical descriptions of what to focus on - thanks for the great content!

[@JayPal3]

I tried concentrating on nose down during my field work today for forehand and your advice helped with that too. Thanks!

[@jeffreyallenmallett5865]

Thanks bro...your info has helped nose down the plane of my drives. I've just practiced once so far, however in that 2 hours i estimated that my drives initially are going between 75 to 100 ft further with the nose down technique. Keep the tips coming and thanks again.

[@xxfaction6xx]

I watched this and one other of your videos last night. Went and threw today. I was throwing an innova dart a little over 300 feet after those two tutorials. thank you so much!

[@JasonNonn]

I learn a lot from your videos. Thanks for putting them out there. Can you do a video talking about your form/technique differences between a pure distance drive vs. trying to hit a controled 300 foot tunnel type shot?

[@JBearwa]

Jason Nonn this would be a great video

[@masjut1]

Outstanding description. Thanks 🙏

[@NebulousWyatt]

1:07 That's what I needed to hear! Thank you! I can't wait to try this at my next field work sesh.

[@cheesinallday2331]

Literally just came off the course, this video was recommended, then went out to do some field practice and just added another 50 ft easy to my drives. I’m a beginner and that backhand drive is the weakest part of my game😅 Much thanks for these tips 🙌🏼

[@Kucu88]

Changing my grip as you demonstrated really improved my game. Thanks Danny!

[@Coach.I_77]

Love your videos! They are super helpful! I can't wait to go try this I think my grip has been wrong all these years and muscling it has been too.

[@timothylewallen452]

Danny, thank you so much for all the videos. You have taught me a lot. Keep it up!

[@samuraistang739]

Bro this helped alot...i was throwing my drivers further than my mids but this literally helped me gain another 50ft in distance...I’m close to 500ft now on my DD

[@devinlehman8798]

Thank you for all your videos. They've helped me quite a bit along with just alot of practice practice practice. I'm hoping to send you a form critique is super slow motion just to figure out how I can get a little more consistency. I'm sure after I look at my form I'll know, but I'd love your input. I have trouble with throwing nose up sometimes but mainly I'd just like more accuracy, and full flight out of high speed drivers. I can throw a 9 speed FD about the same as a very light high speed like a mamba. Will continue to watch your videos and if you can critique me I'd love it! Thank you for everything you do for the disc community!

[@colinnnn100]

When I started I was told to throw putters and mids until those went pretty far and then go to drivers. Well for a LOOOONG time I was getting putters 300'+ but couldn't get much more distance with a driver. Figured I lacked arm speed....nope it was from throwing nose up. Good video, I've got a lot of bad muscle memory to tweak.

[@richietruitt3225]

Man this helped me sooo much. I'd been practicing for a few days in my living room, but was able to go play a couple rounds today. The grip tip about putting it under the knuckle was something I'd never heard until today. That and getting the nose down helped me get a ton of distance today and fly my discs the way that they should be flown. Keep up the good work man!

[@jordanhall8146]

forms looking better with that clip on the end at least from some of your earlier videos, keep up the good work on your vids man I like em

[@gcoffey223]

Ok... ok..... I subscribed.... you make really really good vids and should be proud. Keep up the amazing work

[@charlesh6263]

Yet another perfect explanation of how i've created some bad habits, and what needs to change! Awesome Vid!!! Any suggestions on practice drills that can be used to practice this? Thanks brother

[@metheus108]

I'm not a power thrower at all, it was always more about accuracy. When I see people that are just starting to play, one thing I notice is basic weight distribution that affects throws. If people come from a history of throwing frisbees, what I see is that they end up with the weight on the back foot (not really possible with xstep run up, but still) instead of on the front foot. That makes their whole throwing motion look like \ and its always nose up and hyzering out. I usually tell people to end with more weight on the front foot to keep the motion more like --- Its not useful for experienced players, but new players get much more control with basic weight distribution management.

[@jmcgraw6]

metheus108 thank you for this! I just started a club at a middle school I teach at, and this is very straightforward and will be very helpful for my students!

[@DanTheTerminixMan]

Hi Danny, I really enjoy all your video lessons, they have helped me so much. I was wondering if you can create multiple videos on putting, how to practice correctly, how to keep your disk flat after 20+ feet, grip, wrist and spin, etc. I have watched so many videos on putting but I still seem to not keep my disk straight after 20+ feet..I just started playing last year, I have a practice basket and practice almost every day...need your help keep up the great work!

[@stevenjudd2317]

I noticed my discs being released nose up at the end of the season last year. I’ll take these tips into account and hopefully correct my form. Thanks!

[@philjohnson796]

Really good stuff, Danny. Keep 'em coming.

[@robsterws13]

That is crazy this is todays topic, I was doing field work yesterday and tried something, and threw my Shryke about 10 feet off the ground and the thing went 450, I tried to replicate it with a beat destroyer and threw it higher to let it flex and it did not go nearly as far, tried hyzering it more and having nose down and boom. Same result.

[@filoIII]

I threw a Tern real low a couple weeks ago, and that sucker took off.

[@giovannidavidson9765]

I love all of your videos its taught me a lot and made me a lot better.

[@brianking834]

Great advice. Thank you

[@zstevens312]

Awesome video! I believe I just found what has been killing my game!

[@Pohinapaja]

I'd say throwing truly nose down is the #1 biggest distance "adder" you can do. Especially high speed drivers, they simply just slice thru' the air, and never seem to slow down, they just go :D and not just drivers, after throwing nose down I've started using putters a lot more since nose angle affect them much as well

[@williamwebster3271]

Hi, I am wondering about footwork. I have heard that you should follow a line towards the basket during the X-step. When I look at the pros throw, it seems like they are stepping diagonally from left to right during a backhand throw. What exactly is going on here? Thanks! Awesome content!

[@williamwebster3271]

This is for right handed players.

[@antsahysse3271]

Thank you ! you fixed my biggest problem :)..and greetings from Finland

[@unklstepbilly]

Great video thanks for posting

[@connork319]

1. Throw more nose down (parallel) 2. Watch form (more finesse, tighter, and smooth) 2. Pull disc from lower (lawn mower pull action)

[@WolfTickets]

You're great at this amigo. Keep it up.

[@Nickeeefy]

Hi Danny are you still using that index flesh on top of the flight plate? My problem when doing so is that my index finger barerly curl all the way so i can touch the flight plate with the tip. Iits easier when i just have slightly index flesh on the top. How much diffrence is it to instead have your index joint part below the rim instead? i can feel a better rip effect with that grip but i get more nose down throws with your grip..

[@iksnyzrog]

Dude awesome video. For real

[@Freebord007]

Great video Danny! Where can I send you a video for some critique?

[@mikew.762]

[@Js-rq9uj]

awesome, I'll work on getting that arm all the way back and pulling it lower that totally answers for some of my shank shots I'm throwing when I'm just tired from walking and trying to muscle it with the arm and shoulders, quick question for you: if I'm sometimes releasing it way out to the right on a strong anny is that possibly due to my brace being open (front toe forward), is that because I'm getting the disc too far away from my body in the reachback, possibly not driving it off the back leg and stiff legging it on the front? any experience with that? I've been struggling to get the anhyzer angle but today I was ripping them out on accident. oddly enough when I mentally tried to throw an anny I shanked it flat... edit: foundation disc golf just answered it for me, I was letting the disc get too far away from me forcing my arm to pull it up and to the right as my shoulders came around

[@melissacaldwell2327]

This is super helpful! Thanks :)

[@ChaseH51]

I have struggled with this for so long, and I can't seem to relax during the throw and end up muscling. What's a good drill to help me out

[@jonfreeman5494]

Sorry noob here. I don't understand, wouldn't throwing it nose down just drive it into the ground?

[@Mandible151]

You are correct. When people say "nose-down" what they really mean is "level." But, newer players tend to throw the disc with the nose up, so you constantly tell them to bring the nose down. So it gets stuck in your head that way.

[@jonfreeman5494]

@@Mandible151 Awesome! Thank you!

[@woollymammoth8282]

This is me 1000%, and god damn its hard to fix. I have a bigger, inflexible set of shoulders, almost Avery Jenkins esk. But if he can do it, I can do it.

[@joerobertson829]

Thanks that should help me out a lot!

[@dmdsegan]

Great stuff!

[@eriklarson8322]

Does this apply to forearm throws, too? Nose down equals more distance and stability?

[@eliasnaranjo9179]

Erik Larson yes, a good way I've seemed to make my forearm throws throw with the nose down is make sure that when I'm throwing my palm is even with the ground and my keep that throughout my follow through.

[@phillipdefreese3391]

So would you say still throw putters and midranges nose up, or try to get the nose down like drivers?

[@QactisX]

nose up for hyzer (hanging it wide to the right so it fades in left on a RH BH, or wide to the left so it fades in right on a RH FH), nose down for an anhyzer (throwing it across your chest with the disc facing downward toward your hips)

[@sashasashasashasasha]

Danny, I love your videos. When you say "nose down" I'm confused. You don't mean pointing the disc toward ground at release point, because that would drive it into the ground after the first 10 yards of flight. Do you mean "FLAT" at the point of release instead of nose down?

[@davidbardell6421]

No wonder that my arm are super strong and it intends to go up. now I have to adjust it .. thanks, BRAH wishes I can stop and say HEY but living hard life Nah.. but here in below comment. HEY GOOD luck BRAH

[@davidbardell6421]

what are you saying? mystery?

[@MrEstacioRiverside]

sorry if this is a stupid question: when people say "nose down", does that technically mean flat (i.e. nose is "down" relative to a nose up throw) OR does it mean the nose is actually down (i.e. below horizontal)? If this is nose up: \, then which is nose down: - or /?

[@DannyLindahl]

Glenn Estacio effectively, it refers to flat. But I believe that actually, having the nose one or two degrees down relative to the trajectory is the most aerodynamic shape.

[@MrEstacioRiverside]

Danny Lindahl thanks for the quick reply! Love your videos. Hoping to get some film of my form soon and send it to you for you to analyze

[@solved3x3]

I just started and my putters and mid ranges are going the same distance

[@MrLouDoo]

Sooo, how do I keep my disc "nose down" if I'm trying to throw uphill? Any thoughts?

[@plausibledeniability6631]

it doesn't matter if you are throwing uphill or down, I think he meant the trick is to maintain an equal plane throughout your pull and that will determine your release angle

[@eliasnaranjo9179]

Louis DeGraff say your throwing up hill, the angle your throwing will make an imaginary line, what you have to do is make sure your keeping your disc on the line and not lifting the nose of the disc above that line while the tail of the disc is below it.

[@lennykogginsofficial]

This is me lol... gonna study this video, thanks Danny

[@MannyFacts]

Thank you

[@Picklemedia]

@0:20 nose angle (drivers mids going same distance)

[@fifthfloorwanker]

So whats the story behind your lastname? It's Swedsh and your clearly not hehe AND as always with your videos they are easy to take in and very informative keep at itttt!
