Fix the Most Common Sidearm/Forehand Mistake: Rolling Your Wrist

[@johnbailey4626]

People! Scott's advice on disc golf is THE BEST available on KZbin.

[@jonttu9186]

Thanks Scott! Now Im a real dummie when it comes to sidearms and this IS the way to teach a dummie or any beginner. In every other video you just see "grip like this or this, and just throw it like this". The DETAILS ARE WHAT MATTER, and we have them here! 🙂

[@DolphaysDiscGolf]

Another great sidearm video, I’ll try to focus on these things next time out on the course!

[@jvz1970]

Thanks bro!

[@rickburns4572]

Thanks!!!

[@TheCookiechris]

thanks for the tips, Scott! Really appreciate your channel!

[@thomastrojahn2546]

Great video could you make one for backhand as well i struggle to throw hyzer. So I'm left backhand trying to throw on hyzer but struggle to keep the disc from turning up at release to anhzyer and turns into roller? Is their fix for this?

[@chrmartube]

From my brief experience playing the game both of those tips will make me roll my wrist even more. If I stand sideways and keep my palm to the sky I throw 350 - 400 ft bombs 😅

Will you be in Columbus on the 14th? Or is it someone else running the seminar?

[@ScottStokelyDG]

I'm teaching that one. The coach name is listed on each event so you can verify.

[@tdkempton]

Strange. My fix was to go to 45 degress. I was rolling when I had my fingertips only out and not up at all. Not sure this is good advice for hyzerflips and long distance. You lose a ton of stability. Seems like an anhyzer only angle. For reference I throw 67mph and 430+ feet forehand.

[@joshuasmith9528]

My forehand comes and goes. I stick with it anyway.

[@deakemarschall2992]

I love getting tips from a legend. No more pizza for me.

Thanks for this, Scott! Great advice!

I still serve the pizza 400ft accurately. I'm "double jointed" hyper mobile. I have wayyyy more power in my pizza flick 🤷‍♂️

[@DolphaysDiscGolf]

Ok Scott I am blown away! Not only does this build on the great “throw a ball - don’t serve pizza” advice, but it helps reinforce that motion. I just went out and shot a round trying out two new discs and forehands only and I didn’t roll my wrist once!

[@RustySeatbelt]

What about thumb placement? Bringing it away from the wing and towards the middle grants better releases but less power. For short upshots/runs to the pin, I do find palm up allows for more precision.

[@putterparker]

Hybrid grip is best for me. Pads on rim + plate offer good grip with consistent release of disc off pads. Just gotta monitor the wrist roll tendency like you say. Awesome video Scott.

[@brycehins206]

Scott, you are one of the all-time greats of the sport and a wealth of knowledge... but your form always looks like someone on the verge of falling over, lol

[@hexvillain]

I also see a lot of newer players trying to force over an averstable disc on forehand, this is also a big cause of rolling the wrist. I guess they dont realize an understable disc whenthrown flat will give them that bit of natural turn without having to force the disc over so much on anhyzer so it has room to fade back.

[@hexvillain]

Whoa, Scott Stokely highlighted my comment! I wish I would have articulated my point better. Glad you understood my point. I used to have this problem when learning forehand because I felt my Draco was so "reliable". It is, but this is an easy trap to fall into.

[@Marc-Davis]

I see this teaching frequently and it makes sense, but when I actually go to grip a disc I literally can't do it. I can rest the disc on my fingers so that the pads are pushing against the inside of the rim, but the moment I grip the disc, and apply pressure with my thumb, the disc tilts up and my fingers are angled roughly 45 degrees instead of entirely against the inside of the rim. Is my hand shaped oddly? Am I missing something really obvious? I literally cannot grip the disc with enough pressure to throw it and have my fingers in the right direction.

[@ScottStokelyDG]

Would love to hear more about this. Would you join my discord? Link in the channel banner.

[@chrisschuster9828]

Thanks, Scott

[@djhollowman9567]

I needed this video SO bad. This one hit the spot for me. Only been playing a year. I have half of a finger for my middle finger. So instead of playing with two fingers for my forehand, I've been using 2.5 fingers. Pretty much ensuring that my fingers are all three flat on the disc, rather than on the rim. I think I may try to go back to one finger and see if I can stop dirting my forehand shots. Thanks Scott.

[@johnhall9900]

Thanks, Scott, for actually answering fixing problems on your channel.

[@seanstreck2669]

Wrist-rolling is the backhand rounding mistake of the forehand.

[@jschuel2]

You told me about this at the Salem clinic. Been waiting for this one! Thank you!

[@durtydan420]

I suck at sidearm throws. Only disc i side arm well is the stokely cardinal, and axiom envy...

[@Geenimetsuri]

The first one is something I need hammered into my head! Also, a great tip about the grip. Thanks!

[@ADHDiscGolf]

I worked in a pizzeria for years. A lot to unlearn. Lol

[@prattacaster]

I'm very clean and accurate with my sidearm to about 320ft. I sidearm every disc in my bag, meaning I don't have sidearm discs cause I can throw my flippiest discs just fine, how do I get more distance. I want that 450ft sidearm, lol

[@erikarnesen6052]

@@prattacaster You probably need to work on your timing with the run up, rotation of the hips, swing of the arm and snap of the wrist 👌 same as backhand, it's the correct transfer of energy into the disc that gives you more distance eventually

[@bobdmb]

That was great Scott, thank you!

[@petterilaamo5806]

Without knowing if it's going to be you or one of your certified stokeley method coaches doing the day training I wouldn't risk signing up for that price

[@ScottStokelyDG]

There is no risk that the Stokely Method works no matter who delivers the content! I'm very protective of my the processes I created, I only certify the best teachers in the business. You can also see which Coach is presenting on the event detail page.

​@finklesteenDK420 all major companies from McDonald's to Ford do this with the price of their goods. It probably costs more for hotels, food, and transportation for the teachers in some areas so they charge more to still make the same profit... smh
