Disc Golf Forehand Accuracy

Why is there so much info out there about how to hit your line consistently with a backhand, and almost none on disc golf forehand accuracy?
The reason is, is that the forehand throw is a very individual motion, and no one does it the seem. Does that mean no one can teach you how to be consistent? NO. In this video, I'm going to show you how you can find out where your release point is, and how you can SET UP YOUR FEET to hit your line, every single time.

This answered 12 years of questions in 1 video. I gave up on forehands years ago. I just went out to my local course, and hyzer flipped a putter 250 on my second try. Thank you so much. This is game changing info here.

[@BensBigDrive]

That’s so awesome to hear Jacob, I’m so glad it helped you out!!

[@kimbohlin4383]

This video tipped me over the edge. Meaning, I'm now a subscriber. Going to try this out, because I've been inconsistent with my release. Often I've been throwing more right than what I intended. Cheers!

[@BensBigDrive]

Awesome Kim, thanks so much for your support, I hope it helps!!

[@adamharmer5711]

Fantastic technique advice here! Thanks for putting this one together.

[@BensBigDrive]

Of course Adam, thanks so much for the support!!

[@stefandomagalski3722]

Both are releasing at their big toe. Also remember that Eagle just had major shoulder surgery, so his upright form could have led to some problems by adding strain to his delts/ rotatorcuff. Ricky is bent over putting less strain on his delts. Let's see a video of Sarah Holcomb/ Nate Sexton style!

[@ThePlanetNamik]

amazing advice

[@jhillyt]

lmao! Great info on alignment, thanks for the knowledge, but the ending gave me my first real lol today. awesome :)

[@rachelo5118]

As a mainly forehand player (fairly new) this is awesome!

[@BensBigDrive]

Awesome Rachel, I hope that helps you out a lot!

[@fpvkye7414]

More solid content! Thanks Ben!

[@BensBigDrive]

U the man Kye!!

[@squirt121]

so in a lot of videos ive watched, i've seen the advice to point your front toe towards the target, and i've done it ever since. by far my most common miss is left, so im pretty sure im like ricky with my release point. this is huge, i can't wait to go try it!

[@BensBigDrive]

Pointing the front toe is a great idea to make sure that your hips will end up pointing towards the target. Thanks for watching, I hope it helps!

[@Nickeeefy]

I sometimes release to the left and i cant figureing out why :( any tips?

[@cortlandeblejr.7460]

I found this video incredibly helpful.

[@BensBigDrive]

That’s awesome, thanks so much for watching!!

[@mrphipsisenior]

great!

[@jesseandersen_]

Helpful as always!

[@BensBigDrive]

Thanks so much Jesse!!

[@chandlerchristensen8508]

I was wondering why I always threw to the right. I could never get my throw right. Thanks for the tips!

[@BensBigDrive]

Sweet Chandler, I hope this helps!!

[@bravosection]

My forehand is trash, but I think this may be my “aha!” Moment. Stay tuned!

[@BensBigDrive]

I hope it works for you, thanks for watching!!

[@albertoquagliaroli4230]

Thank you for the good tutorial! I am a horrible forehander, but I find out that my (almost always) throws depend very much by the form and the weight of the disc I throw; is it understandable?

[@BensBigDrive]

Hey Alberto, I’ve found that with forehands, discs are a lot more sensitive to torque, so I would find something with neutral stability or a little over stable to practice with, and find that foot stance that is comfortable and you can repeat over and over. Hope that helps!!

[@videosverigenu4621]

Hey, Ben, I just realised we havent seen an in the bag from you 😮

[@BensBigDrive]

Coming soon 👀👀👀

[@videosverigenu4621]

@@BensBigDrive awesome!

[@johannorberg4174]

Release point is way different mostly due to Ricky going hyzer and eagle flat. An anhyzer is even further in front of the body.

[@ldmcavoy]

Hey @Logan, what do you think the odds are that Ben left one of those discs at the end of the video?

[@ldmcavoy]

You are so right. I call dibs if I find them

[@BensBigDrive]

I didn’t lose any, I donated an innova rat to the next lucky person who shanks

[@christoferjidarv4177]

Ricky is throwing an hyzer while eagle aint. Dont the type of shot change the fotwork?

[@BensBigDrive]

Great point Christofer, your shot angle will change your footwork but again it’s a very individual thing. Like for instance, I like to open my hips even more so to the target when throwing a steeper hyzer. All about finding your preference and keeping it consistent! Thanks for watching!

[@ericbailey4457]

Ben, with my forehand I throw mine way left. People are telling me I am over powering the disc. It flips over and hits the ground. Any pointers?

[@BensBigDrive]

Hey Eric! Great quesh. What’s probably happening is that you’re rolling your wrist over top of your elbow, causing it to be yanked left instead of straight. Focus on keeping your wrist below your elbow, and keeping your palm to the sky when you throw and see if that fixes it!

[@ericbailey4457]

@@BensBigDrive Dude! Thanks for your help. Iv been so frustrated with forehand. Being an ex collegiate baseball player I figured it would come naturally. I kept my wrist below my elbow and now throwing forehand 300-350ft with ease and pretty accurate. Such a easy fix. Thanks again!

[@Javaman92]

First try. :-)

[@BensBigDrive]

I know, crazy right?!?
