Ricky Wysocki & Paige Pierce Putting Clinic Pt 1

[@robinlewis4558]

24 years of disc golf and I’m still learning. Thanks.

[@dyvel]

24 weeks here and I'm still learning too 😄

[@awwitsHurts]

@@dyvel soon 3 years here. If youre open minded and willing to foret what you know, you allow yourself to grow! Keep growing! :D

[@MultiMp90]

So much good info I’ve been playing for a year and come back to this video every now and then and always take something from these two champs

[@JasonVallicott]

Thank you for taking the time to get good audio and breaking this down into three parts. Also t’s great to have Paige involved to promote the sport for the ladies. Paige & Ricky keep up the good work.

[@jonathanb5464]

Ricky has gotten so much better at articulating his points in these clinics. Props to him for really smoothing out his presentation style

[@nitbot]

I was about to say the same thing. He's still not silky smooth, but he's a lot better than what he used to be

[@michrisoft]

Wait, he was worse at getting things across before? oof

[@mech0p]

haha, yea hes pretty ruff still aint he but he will get better each time he does these

[@peterrice3768]

@@michrisoft No kidding. He needs to calm down. The info is good, but this is just brutal.

[@michrisoft]

@@peterrice3768 Lol in fairness, he's actually a lot better today.

[@joepinkston6842]

Don't be so hard on Ricky. I used to teach bouldering intro classes. Thank God some of my first lessons are not on youtube for all to see. Teaching is like disc golf, it takes practice.

[@liquidx1838]

4:48 love how they ignored the guy. Feel sorry for him :D

[@ajazsyed3263]

9:24 "If you're coming up a little short on putts , _you're not quite getting it there_ , *don't necessarily aim higher* . Just push off a little bit more so that your weight comes through. And in that, it will go hand in hand because your follow-through will be higher"

[@fabianoloarte8918]

Am I the only one expecting them really badly to to throw a Disk to that basket?

[@AKCountess]

I was waiting the entire time to just see a throw lol

[@johnhawkins1711]

No kidding, let's see what the putts look like. I was saying the whole time, put the thing

[@Gomez78Familia]

Wow she is good at explaining things.

[@adamlitster1574]

She’s way better at teaching than he is. She should be leading this thing.

[@2rRas]

Sooo many words, so little info. Re-edit with Pierce only, and it's the same content in 2 minutes.

[@howdyimhowsa]

3 minutes in and Ricky hasn’t said anything useful… lol

[@anything4you05]

And not one disc was thrown....

[@neildeatherage2269]

Haha omg you're right!

[@bonesnsmitty]

patience, grasshopper. putt comes in part 3.

[@IntheClutch75]

It's killing me. I'm like, throw a freaking disc already!

[@ErlmeyerBenchfat]

Thanks for the insight guys, you're awesome!

[@StumpyNubs]

You could literally eliminate 80% of the words he uses and still get the three points he makes in this 10-minute video. He just keeps rephrasing and rephrasing the same sentence over and over and over....

[@monke12355]

Yeah, atleast he talks fast.

[@CraigsCuts]

He’s a disc golf pro not a teacher or professor STFU Buddy

[@quproduction1107]

He’s nervous, is all. Could certainly be edited or retaken. But the wisdom is there.

[@michaelhoogendoorn3179]

Should have probably written out what he needed to say. It feels like a waste of time listening to the same thing over and over.

[@billybutcher5746]

My thoughts in the first 30 seconds of the video. He talks like morty smith

[@kyleweir689]

What always shocks me is the grip Ricky takes on his daggers. They are such a large profile putter, and it goes against all logic to not really have a point of pressure against your hand, usually the pinkie and ring finger... It just seems like there should be no way he generates as much force as he does into the putt... But he does

[@MenOfDust]

Incredibly helpful.

[@smokeyokie6862]

Just a quick tip that popped into my head.. after the pro drains his putt after explaining something about form maybe do a slow mo of the shot. I think it would just help us put the putt together. 👌🏼

[@vonhyzerberg2729]

Awww, the olden days🌅

[@spikemcnamara8784]

Love these guys! But, the whole time Ricky’s talking all I can HEAR is MORTY SMITH!!! #rickandmorty

Oh my god now that you said that I cannot stop hearing it in that voice

[@BiscuitsNGrady]

lol "don't worry Paige I'll do all the talking' you just stand there and look pretty"

[@QactisX]

Dude I mean Ricky isn't even a comfortable public speaker, someone probably told him to do the talking.

[@MrBrandoBB]

Paige look pretty? lol impossible

[@zacharyross9618]

Brandon Rude.

[@shacklynized]

I think she’s gorgeous personally lol.

[@Seanpfree]

She nailed it

[@lukeroberts4404]

Man, if you watch this putting clinic against some of the other putting clinics Rick has put on, you can tell how much he's matured as a player. There's one from when he was with prodigy and it's almost painful for me to watch. Now he seems like he's really settled into his status as world champ.

[@ajdangle-3832]

hell yeah Ricky, looking confident Champ! Thank you so much for doing this, and Paige as well. I learned a lot.

[@mattm8291]

Awesome video, wish I could have seen all 30 minutes, then I would be a pro!

[@PitBoss262]

This is fantastic. Thank you so much for using lav mics.

Hannah ain't all that tho 🤔

[@Soleil04192007]

maybe because they have a different style? lol

[@CheeseheadTroy]

Hannah is hot. But not that great of a player

[@matthewpeters5353]

A ton of respect for the length of the video. Could’ve edited it longer but didn’t, just focused on the content.

[@DBZSeanzie]

They didn’t put a single disc in the air or the basket

[@benredeemed7204]

truly amazing.... about 1000 words and i had it on super speed playback and not a single putt.. beautiful.. thanks for wasting my time, i'll never get that back

[@bholedg]

Great clinic!!

[@jasontwichell6339]

Has there ever been a better putter than Ricky Wysocki?

[@xrawcarnagex]

This year I would say Mcbeth is putting better. Ricky has been off compared to normal but overall id say hes been the best

[@chrisvaldez5311]

Jason Twichell Anthon was Ricky before Ricky was Ricky

[@spliffwizard420]

Mcbeth in 2015 was the best I've witnessed

I honestly dont know what to do ive been playing disc golf for 5 years and i practice at least an hour everyday and i still cant make 10 footers

[@dakotawagner5450]

You cant make them because you dont believe you can or you arent confident enough

[@dillertheskiller7550]

Did anyone else just want to watch him putt the disc? over 10 minutes talking without putting once.

[@chrisperrywv]

I’m kind of confused. The video didn’t look like his shoulders are squared with the basket.

This guy probably knows what he is talking about, but he had a a heck of a time getting his point across. Plenty of repeated proto-concepts, but linear completed thoughts would be more helpful.

[@garcia858rose]

Paige you're awesome thank you Ricky take a chill pill, breeeeeath man

[@beenschmokin]

he's so nervous. but it's not all his fault. this "modern" age people think you have to be making noise constantly when you talk. talk at a steady pace. think. pause. Especially in the US we have gotten super lazy while trying to do everything at light speed. people are scared if they pause for a second someone else will start talking. it bothers me beyond comprehension that we have de-evolved as a country. Ricky is a product of the new way culture and he's quite nervous. Also, i'm pretty sure he's autistic to some extent. I do not mean that in any negative or dissing way. Just an observation.

[@supertuber59]

Ricky: good player, bad speaker

[@sfincione2000]

I have to say though, that they're not the best at explaining putting. I've seen it before when good players can do it themselves but aren't very good at explaining the mechanism. I mean, the weight shift is there so your arm motion doesn't need to change much the further you move away from the basket. That's it, end of story. It's like in basketball, the distance comes from the ground up but the form of the shot at the end is the same for all shots.

[@bringdbeatback]

Dont forget to eliminate the variables

[@josephwoolfolk4135]

You are life right now

[@triuneentertainment4431]

Wow this seems very impromptu if you ask me. He says so much but nothing comes out of it. Guess it may have been his first clinic he hosted.

[@JAdamsMinistry]

Sad they aren’t with trilogy anymore... their loss

[@HaikesXO]

Man he was nervous lol

[@beenschmokin]

While I agree with them mostly and it's true that lining up straight physiologically points your upper body straight but it is not true that everyone stands like that nor is it true that will magically make you throw straight. These younger pros (Paige surprised me, she did great) explain everything in black and white but if you watch them play they do not follow their own advice but about 75% of the time. I am not saying they aren't good, obviously since on top card. I'm saying that they do not understand how or what they are doing as much as people think. Ricky says at the beginning to square shoulders with the basket. Watch him putt. He is NOT square with the basket. Their knowledge definitely helps people. On the other hand it also hurts others who this form will never work for. There is more than one way to skin a cat and also to putt a disc. I definitely do not like that they are saying a putt is not a throw. Then what do you call the action of making an object fly through the air from your hand after moving your arm? You are still throwing, just not turning the upper body at the hip axis. Like Paige says, the object is to get the disc in the basket in as few THROWS as possible. Watch a pro match. They all make plastic fly a little different. Take some tips from this and create your own style. Do not think this is concrete. I'll give any and everyone reading this an example that you can't argue with - Ken Climo, y'all may have heard of him (12 TIME DISC GOLF WORLD CHAMPION) , does NOT stand square to the basket and does NOT square his shoulders to it. The shoulders and hips need to be square with one another. The throw will go where the throwing arm shoulder is pointing PERIOD. "No way bro, opening your hips will make it miss man." Not exactly... Turning your hips moves the shoulder to the left or right and makes you miss. The disc is not connected to your hips. It's connected to your arm. It can only go where the arm goes.

Poor Ricky. This is tough to listen to

[@dyvel]

These two pros really look like they could be brother and sister, don't they?

[@deanjr.1564]

It seems to me that he is uncomfortable speaking to a crowd and that is obviously what makes listening to him feel awkward. He is a champ and a great disc golfer. Get some swagger about yourself kid and stand in front of those peeps and bring it!

[@persiah7779]

Ricky the Rambler lol slow down next time. It was really difficult to keep up

[@derekmillar8265]

Yikes. Ricky is a beast of a player, but a very awkward teacher. Now Paige could be as much of a world class instructor as she is a player.

How about you let Paige introduce herself as well? You went from your intro to the clinic, without missing a beat. Maybe consider that the partner DD gave you for this video is legit, and start with 2 introductions, instead of just yourself Ricky? Paige Pierce deserves a damn intro. End of story. Fun video though.

Not a very helpful video at all. At least for me.

[@Danny-nx2gv]

Im sorry but i got anxiety hearing him talk

[@rolandfisher]

He says the power comes from the legs. This is false. If it did you could could not use the arm at all and get pretty good distance. How far could you throw without the arms? Under a foot? That isn't power. The purpose of the leg transfer is neurological. It is good for motor strategy.

[@hisdudeness47]

I dunno man, have you seen those armless folk in the Special Olympics? They hold the disc in their teeth, use their right upper canine tooth (left upper for lefties) as a pivot point, and use a crow hop . Despite this they are still able to generate enough torque at the hit to chain putts from 80+ feet regularly. It's madness. I'd say it's like 70% legs, 20% shoulders, and 10% neck. They basically use the neck to replace their wrist and their teeth to replace their fingers. They said it couldn't be done...

[@whatdoiputherelol]

surely they could have got someone just as good at disc golf but can also talk to people....

[@carverszotko7684]

I actually think its the opposite. If you look at his earlier clinics he is getting better at the public speaking. I don't think he will ever be comfortable with it though.
