Disc Golf Timing and Run Up with Eric Oakley

[@chillokapi5225]

excellent. Eric is quite a teacher

[@warcraftandcoffee2937]

This! More of Eric please. What a great teacher he is.

[@jcapicy]

Eric has so much information to teach, and he is great at breaking it down!

[@ChaosKLC]

Its really cool to see that Eric is referencing some of Over Throws concepts as he explains! Such good guys.

[@sarinhighwind]

Eric has talked about that long before overthrow. The "creating the space" is just the current tag line in the coaching community.

[@ChaosKLC]

@@sarinhighwind My man, Eric an OG and everyone knows that. He also has been very open about Overthrow helped him in the offseason during their talks and sessions. Its all love.

[@sarinhighwind]

@Kenneth Crosby pretty sure eric helped josh. =) Its always good to get a different perspective on your form though. But eric knows way more on coaching than josh.

[@Venc1698]

Danny covered this 5 years ago. Well worth repeating though🙂

[@mikeweyer8828]

The trip made me lol and drop my phone 😂

[@Infinitediscs]

I do it for you guys

[@OkieTradez]

love it annnndddd practice!

[@bizzalproductions]

MUNI OG BABY!!!!

[@jheiliger]

Don't know if anyone will answer, but... Is the idea behind Eric's hop similar to a crow hop as an outfielder in baseball? Using the momentum of the downward force (gravity) to generate forward momentum?

[@Infinitediscs]

I think it is very similar to a crow hop! Using the ground to generate more power as you move through your throw

[@connorizatt774]

Let’s go

[@vega1221]

Such a good video. Moooooooorrrreeeeee please

[@bardenheier]

PRACTICE!

[@tinydiscgolf]

How did he hop without hopping?

[@JustBBlunt]

We talkin bout practice!?!?

[@jacobjoro]

Is that good?

[@RippinDiscs]

It’s good.

[@spruce8809]

Maybe tie your shoes? I mean practice

[@nickflores6367]

Sign me up

[@neighbsCS]

I don't care what Eric says, crow hopping is definitely improving my FH and BH and lowers my OAT

[@jeffgood2394]

Tempo is def the piece that's missing fron all the slomo form checks out there.

[@muffincubed]

yall are a coupla sweetie pies

[@jacobperdeus7627]

Funny everyone else says not to reach straight back 🧐

[@Infinitediscs]

Conspiracy theories… but who is it?👀

[@erikkteschlog]

You can't just reach, you have to coil your torso to create the space. Like Eric said, offsetting your feet helps give you enough space to reach back and then swing through on a straight line

[@bigdiscenergy]

Awesome feedback on the 3 things! I haven't thought much about my tempo. I think that will be my next adjustment. Can we cut these down by like 3 minutes for the 3 minutes he talks for "2 seconds?" 😁😂

[@Infinitediscs]

Note taken!

[@footfaultdiscgolf]

foot fault

[@sarinhighwind]

shoes bro. Tie your shoes

[@jaym6945]

I'm sorry but there are some old concepts and good examples that pros teach how they think they throw but they don't. Do not "pull"! Do not open your right upper arm more than 90 degrees to your chest until release. Google spin and throw or overthrow's box drill to see what I mean

[@NothingReallyMattersMuch]

Seeing as this is a "professional team" with "professional software and money" you'd think atleast the "professional disc golfer" (Eric joakly) would be miced up. I love infinite. I bag the chariot, and the infinite version of the fd, I love both of them, how ever this lack luster video is disappointing at best. I think you guys have a great position and ability to represent disc golf as a main stream sport. And if it was my first time hearing about a run up or x step I would consider this a jokey back yard game and not somthing viable for ESPN or somthing I'd spend serious money on whilst putting this much energy into it. I love you infinite but standards should be MUCH higher then this last minute thought of a video.... and maybe get a pro with a better. More relatable form, everyone knows Eric throws like a weirdo and no body should mimic his horrible form. Just saying...

[@Infinitediscs]

Definitely understand where you are coming from on the mic set up and production value. A little context behind the video, this was the first week after I had been hired by Infinite and I just happened to be in the same area as Eric. I did not have equipment with me but I did want to get some content while I was there. We are working on getting some better quality film equipment to add production value to our content. I do appreciate the feedback and hopefully we will be able to bring more value to the viewers!

[@NothingReallyMattersMuch]

And as far as a strate arm reach back goes checknout seep paju, that dude throws 100 feet further than joakly... don't listen to eric

[@knobsbuttons2632]

Weirdo....😂
