Fix Your Disc Golf Forehand Throw? | Beginner's guide

[@rizka7945]

0:32 Mind blown. How many forehand videos I've watched, without realizing this. I picked up a disc and a disc feels so much more convenient in my hand now. Can't wait to go to the course tomorrow.

[@jacksonpalmer8955]

Its weird because my forehand is better the “wrong” way, at least for drivers. Beaded midranges are still a total mess for me on a forehand though.

[@stevenatkins5877]

I call my grip the bird grip. Almost like I'm flipping the bird. With my forefinger bent I get more power

[@MikeXCSkier]

Agree - this is a gamechanger.

[@sdreaver816]

Yeah. I was getting some decent tosses but inconsistent. Times it would anhyzer too much and sometimes will grab the wind and fly over into a roll rather than a glide

[@UtahDarkHorse]

[@Venc1698]

This video changed everything!! Been playing for 4 years now mainly as a backhand player. I Just never figured out forhand, was struggeling to throw over 150 feet. I watched this video, change my grip and boom!! Now i can make 300 feet! Unbelivable!! Thank you Danny!❤️

[@eliottwiener6533]

The tip on gripping with the fingers on the rim, and the tip on leading with the elbow helped a lot. I immediately saw a huge improvement with those.

[@kbdiscgolf]

Why has no one told me about that grip before! Finally I feel like I may have a chance at developing a forehand. So simple but I could never figure it out. Thank you!

[@djksan1]

Yes! The tip about the grip and the mistake of putting the pads of the finger on the flight plate is 100 what I’ve been doing! I can’t believe this has never been clarified in all the videos I’ve watched until just now! Can’t wait to try the fix tomorrow! Thank you!

[@dynamicdiscs]

You're welcome! Happy putting!

[@jeremybeam7043]

Great video per usual! Maybe I missed it in the video, but a tip I would add is to make sure to bend your knees and get the body a bit low (like some of Oakley’s throws in the video)...for me at least it helps to get my lower body into the shot and also less likely to roll my wrist. I like to think of it like skipping a rock on water or a low kill shot for racquetball.

[@kretonslovechild7999]

Yeah, Sarah Hokum gets real low too and she's a master forehand player.

[@utefan123]

Wish I’d watched this video 10 years ago when I was first introduced to disc golf. That finger grip makes a lot of sense. *Update* Your fix to my grip made a ton of difference! I had some great throws today. Need to fix my snap/whip still, but wow, great video!

Well done! I think the follow through down the fairway was key for me. It’s very easy to snap across one’s body like Danny pointed out. Awesome job as usual!

[@jonspell88]

I've been trying to build a forehand in my backyard while doing putting practice. I am not very good at forehanding a putter. I'll give your tips a shot on some 9ish speed discs next time out in a field. Thanks, Danny!

[@lllforgelll2421]

The finger into the rim tip is a game changer. This is how I threw most of the time but never thought much about it. Anyway I adopted it and a while back I explained this to my brother the same way you did here when showing him forehand shots. He ended up taking to it sooooooo much easier when he stopped "karate chopping." Great vids man!

[@caelanharamis5660]

The tip for turning your fingers into the rim is something I feel could massively improve my forehand by decreasing wobble. Thanks!

[@MegaLaban12345]

I feel like I got a whole new perspective on my grip from watching this. Much appreciated!

[@discjunkiesDGT]

great pointers, now gotta take it to the field!

[@picvan]

This is why I click seek your tutorials. First thing, you address my problem. Had an okay single finger throw, add my middle finger made it catch. Turning the pads of my fingers in did the trick.

[@kretonslovechild7999]

Great tips which I look forward to trying out!

[@meatball6119]

Apparently I've been holding the disc wrong this entire time and its making a lot more sense now. Thanks Danny!!

[@TheDarkphx]

Idk I just became comfortable throwing a 1 finger sidearm snap. I'm trying to practice more with a 2 finger flick so that I can get more distance. I just feel like I still have better control with a 1 finger snap, but I do notice a few of my long drives are a little short. But I do surprise myself once in a while with the distance I can generate with a 1 finger release. Hopefully I can make the transition to 2 fingers cuz I know I can definitely get bigger drives! Thanks!

[@leksasdf]

I've always thrown with my fingertips on the flightplate and don't have a forehand I'd be comfortable using in a game, that's gonna be great to try.

[@nothingkillsamanfasterthan5732]

Thank you so much, every form video mentions grip, but I never got the tip to really turn my fingers into the disc. I found I bit of success with the one finger method that I picked up from my friend. Now I know why and what needs to transfer

[@derrickmiller2081]

Such a great in depth tutorial! Finger stacking really helped:)

[@Chaser90EK]

Thanks, Danny Big Flicks!

[@JustDisc]

Good video! It’s a shot type that many people struggle with, especially driving. I did a forehand video myself to help people understand the “mental thought” on how to drive forehand

[@soloryderrr]

Good advice, I especially liked the part where you talked about disc selection.. Noone seems to talk about that but most discs over speed 7-8 seem to forehand way better.. Flat top and good rim depth. For me anyways I feel like a wide rim makes a forehand way easier. I can throw only one of my midranges FH but thats it, everything else is fairway or faster.

[@micah_lee]

My tip for you is to practice the slower speed stuff. If you can get stand still putters and flat released midrange shots then you will be infinitely more well rounded

[@soloryderrr]

@@micah_lee Thanks I will try and learn to throw my slower stuff abit more! Normally I sidearm a prodigy f5 or a h3v2 in 400 plastics. My backhand needs work, when I started playing sidearm came naturally for long distances.

[@lokinakor1]

Great content! Even an old dog like me can get a lot out of your vids. Your focus on fundamentals is a fine example for players at any level. Thank you! For me, forehand doesn't come naturally, and I have to focus on not rolling my wrist. The only way I can do this is if I keep my hand facing palm up, including the 2-finger stack grip. If I put my fingers sideways, it makes the slippery slope happen into wrist rolling. By keeping my fingertips on the top plate, I can also control the angle better.

[@krpi7685]

Another grip tip regarding joint pain: If the regular stack grip ends up hurting your finger joints due to the disc forcing them to bend backwards try throwing with the index finger against the rim, middle finger on top. This way the rim shape doesn't force your fingers to bend backwards as much and you can bend them slightly inwards as well. It will feel weird at first and you might lose out on a smidge of elastic rebound but if you have that joint pain this will certainly allow you to keep throwing.

[@DAWIII]

Definitely a beginner, but I have way more control with a split grip.(Middle finger pad on rim & index finger 1" away towards center of disc, thumb pressing on index finger) No flutter with this grip, but distance limited to 200-250' (great accuracy) Favorite Forehand discs : TRUTH and MVP - Amp Looking forward to Forehand Guide part #2!

Cool info especially for us novices!

[@TheVibez_]

Awesome video guys! Also quick question,what song are you guys using in the background? It’s so chill 👌

[@jamessisson5818]

Good video I tried only using two fingers but switched to three fingers I found I have more stability when throwing

[@tedwardx]

I've been trying to learn to throw forehand because theres holes on pretty much every course that are just designed for them. Plus I just feel more confident facing my target. It def seems harder with slower discs for me. With my leopard3 and river I have to put what feels like a big hyzer angle on the disc to keep them from turning over hard. When I flick a ballista or captain which are much faster discs it feels like I don't need nearly as much angle. Going to try your tips regarding grip and take some video. Hopefully that will get me in the right direction.

[@tjhoffman6050]

Thanks dude!

[@Precisionmagert]

For me , I practice pulling the disc from shoulder to shoulder until my arm is straight and that I stop and repeat that same sequence. Also making your pulling across your body..

[@jedediahgordon4064]

imagine swinging a baseball bat with one hand at a inside pitch

[@SimonSomething]

The most important thing for me when finding comfortable forehand discs is that it has a really wide rim, that seems to help for me. One that comes to mind immediately is the Nuke. Shryke has also been my main backhand driver and it has a nice rime for forehands as well.

[@matthewbushey9455]

Hey! Great video, really clear and concise explanations. I have one tip, and one quibble: TIP - when learning to throw the forehand, I found that "leaning over your release" really was invaluable advice . . . it forces the thrower to keep the center of gravity lower, preventing "air shots" and also tending to force the throwing elbow into the hip, leading to cleaner releases. QUIBBLE - though I do agree that a Fairway driver, or 8-10 speed disc is the most suited for all-around forehand flexibility, I'm surprised you didn't recommend starting with a Midrange (Latitude/Justice), as these discs are even more forgiving for the noob - which would likely lead to developing better form and control, especially for approach shots where finesse is everything? Would love to know your thoughts. Thanks again for the hard work!

[@ReinZ_96]

A couple things I've not heard before in here that I'll need to go try out. After wrecking my forehand form from throwing only highspeed overstable discs when I started I've been stuck at like 225 max with very little accuracy for literally years doing the karate chop motion mentioned at 0:32 Been trying to fix it since last fall with very little luck so far.

[@harleygrattan2851]

I’ll try this grip, cheers 🍻

[@DiscMK]

If you want to learn how to throw clean with forehand and really learn to flick the disc. Go and play catch with your friend with a fairly understable putter or a midrange (pure, judge, claymore, fuse). Throw hyzer, hyzerflips and anhyzer untill you can control all of those angles WITH CLEAN RELEASE. Playing catch with forehand was one of really important culprits with my forehand and scrambling.

[@duvaldragon324]

Suspect in the burst plastic is my go to for up shots and short 3s. It's my favorite disc in the bag. 100 to 30 its deadly. Skip the jump putt and flick !

[@johncarney9082]

Thanks. I was just asking myself, "Why do I need a forehand throw?" and then you answered it.

[@gerardschmenk6264]

I just gained an extra 40-50ft in my last outing 2 days ago throwing forehand. All I changed was using more of a longer run up with a crow hop step and focusing on using more hip drive forward. Was always afraid to try that because I though I would lose consistency. Boy was I wrong. I gain more distance and accuracy was spot on. Give it a try!

[@seandachtler365]

Thank you!!!

[@jessehenderson836]

Controlling nose angle is huge too. Too much nose up on a forehand makes it go next to nowhere. Keeping the nose down and pushing forward is essential unless you’re throwing like a stall type shot.

[@dashriprok05]

Loved it Danny! I've been trying to learn a forehand and can't wait to try these tips. Thank you sir. PS, always throw a felon for my terrible forehands. Should I disc down?

[@tatarusbass]

I've been told to always throw flippier discs so you can master that hyzer flip which will maximize your distance. A lot of people just use super overstable stuff and throw it on anheizer but that really doesn't offer as many shot shapes/

[@petersurridge1874]

So I have a question about forehands that you vaguely touched upon is the one finger grip. I'm a forehand thrower (I suck at backhands and been throwing forehand for several years) and I use only 1 finger and I average 250 foot shots (including a 299 foot shot.) Is it worth regulating myself to use the 2 fingers this late in the game? I often try to and just seem to have much less angle control albeit what seems like more power? The only time I feel remotely successful at the 2 finger grips is with mids and putters. Any thoughts?

[@willhowarddg]

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes change it! I used to do the one finger grip and it took me a few weeks to get it under control. Once I finally got good at it, it was a game changer! The disc doesn’t flutter any more when it leaves my hand, I have a lot more control, and I can throw forehands 50 feet farther. If you make the change, it might take a while to get used to it, but you’ll appreciate that you did it!

[@ptbfrch]

Emac Truth Prime - flat as a pancake and GREAT for forehands. Holds a line really well too, even with lower spin compared to backhand.

[@rl2769]

[@gavinplourde5933]

Ya probably

[@arcticowl2401]

Lol

[@willhowarddg]

@Doc Xen Not always. A lefty forehand will be used differently and a lot more than a righty’s. Lefty’s need forehands for the traditional rhbh hyzer holes. If you are looking for a forehand disc, you might need multiple molds. I would get a very overstable disc, (firebird, felon, predator) and a straighter disc (convict, fd3, thunderbird.) As a lefty, a forehand will be a shot you will need a lot.

[@rustyblair7515]

When throwing the Wrath sidearm, I put a good bit hyzer (wing down) to get the typical S flight with fade right at the end. My question, I get a slight wobble for about 50 feet downrange. I've videoed my throws and the wobble is completely gone after 50 or so feet and then disc fly smooth. Is this initial wobble off axis torque from my release or is it the effect of the hyzer being overcome when the disc snaps back to left level flight?

[@daveramirez2915]

What kind of disc and what speed should you use for a forehand throw are disc golf discs

[@richyoung4051]

love the tips and video. just one thing. the audio seemed a bit quiet. i was able to hear it fine but with my volume all the way up it seemed it should be a little bit louder. no big deal just thought id put it out there. thats just me though idk about everyone else here.

[@jonathanbauer9279]

I have only played a few months, I came from ultimate and I'm using the "wrong" grip. On the one hand I feel like I don't have most of these problems and I can just provide way more spin using the grip that feels more natural, on the other hand, my full out forehand is around 200 ft (to convert distances from meters in ft still messes with my brain sometimes) Should I give my more "natural" but "wrong" grip up?

[@steelerfan786]

Yes! I came to disc golf after a decade of Ultimate. In Ultimate, the forehand throw is lead by the ulna bone in the forearm, which usually gives just a touch of nose up and allows a slow, glidey, understable disc like the UltraStar to fly farther. A disc golf forehand throw, especially drives, requires more speed and nose down, which is much easier with the stacked grip and leading the throw with the muscles in the forearm instead of the ulna bone.

[@jonathanbauer9279]

@@steelerfan786 thanks a lot man

[@subspaceanomaly]

@@steelerfan786 interesting. I'm a long time ultimate player too. I find throwing disc golf discs pretty easy and can make them so what I want, until it comes to throwing forehands really hard. I'm ultimate I could score pitch length forehand hucks, but the disc golf fourhand really loses power as the motion transfers to the discs. I guess it's a more compact whip since the disc radius is so much less, but that's where your fore arm tip makes sense, I'll try that. Can't do the layered grip though, I find I need both fingers pressing against the rim one after the other. Hopefully I'm not losing too much power that way

[@daveramirez2915]

I have the innova champion Daedalus distance driver and I like to throw it for a forehand throw is that ok for a beginner disc golf player?

[@flatjesus]

I split my fingers and make a "sign language K" shape for my forehand grip (with my middle finger on the rim and my index toward the middle of the disc). I get fantastic control on angle of release, but I wonder if I'm sacrificing spin/distance?

[@williamburk5818]

I think I've had problems with bringing the elbow up late and putting way too much strain on my elbow. It would always end up hurting even if I only threw a few max power shots. That said i got a good 300 ft out of my felon when I was just kinda winging it and putting my whole body into it. It flattened out like I'd never gotten it to with the backhand. Should I be trying something slower like he said?

[@someguyontwitter]

I have a disc so overstable that I have to forehand it anhyzer and it still has a net left-to-right overall motion because of the fade. I am very inexperienced, but I will experiment with other discs to get the hyzer flip (which should come naturally enough, because I’m used to Ultimate discs).

[@FuriousGeorge3001]

My forehand is just becoming something I am finding good and serviceable. Part of that is not avoiding using them when I know it's the correct shot rather than the more comfortable shot for me. My big question is about putting the disc deep into my hand. I feel like it catches the knuckle closest to my hand and I have bad releases. I've been setting the disc just in front of that knuckle with better success but I know I'd have more stability if it was deeper in my hand. Any tips on my issue would be appreciated.

[@jekmoha3]

I've always had the same problem and this is what creates wobble for me (not the wrist roll). Placing my thumb closer to the edge of the disc has helped me a lot. I place my thumb as close to the edge as I can while still maintaining a solid grip. The narrower the rim the closer to the edge my thumb can be.

[@preservativetalkradio]

How do I grow longer arms. Is the open hand better for every short-armed person?

[@daltonbrreck]

As someone who struggled with forehands for A LONG time, I cannot stress how important grip is. Focus on your grip first! :)

[@ParadoxX-lt1vu]

Dude crazy thing is my forehand game changed for the better when i started putting my finger pads ON the belly of the disc rather than towards the corner. Idk why or how but im so much more consistent doing it the "wrong" way

[@ryansheppard5508]

What do you think about split finger grip where one finger is on inside lip and the other supporting bottom center? ,pros and cons?

[@steelerfan786]

Fine for short, controlled throws, but lacks power and snap for faster and longer throws.

[@atkinmarc]

Great breakdown as usual, Danny! I got a question though, I recently was pretty forehand dominant in my game for a small stretch of time. I was getting great flight, distance and consistency until one day I got tennis elbow in throwing arm and some pain in my shoulder too. I went back to strengthening it with DGStrong content and practicing with backhands while it healed but I'm starting to work on my forehand again and how I follow through. Are there any other recommendations you have for typical errors in forehand form to prevent against pain in these areas (seems very common) that people can work on correcting once it feels decently healed (given this quarantined sheltering) if we're prone to developing pain in those spots?

[@daveyfadess]

You're using your arm to throw the disc with power when in reality it's about the flick of the wrist. To much arm power will hurt you and probably turns into rollers alot. Just sit there with your elbow close to your body and just flick your wrist with the disc.

[@atkinmarc]

[@zukowskichet4359]

When throwing a forehand do you release the disc or let it rip out like when throwing a backhand?

[@robinmclean7203]

Great Question. Because you are cocking your wrist back, you do snap it at release. Also, unlike a backhand, a forehand would not have nearly enough spin if you simply pulled it through with your arm or shoulder. This is why Danny's tip about the PAD! of your finger is so important. You press the pad of your middle finger into the rim to get snap and spin. Then just keep that hand upside down, not turned over like a pitcher would, and you are good to go. Hope that helps.

[@zukowskichet4359]

@@robinmclean7203 that makes perfect sense. I have a huge problem with wobble, and I've heard Wysocki say that wobble is indicative of not holding the disc tight enough. I'll just keep at. Thanks for the reply.

[@ryanmcclure580]

Apparently I'm doing it all wrong. Lol throwing a Zeus one finger forehand is my favorite and most consistent forehand. It's so overstable, but it has worked pretty well for me hitting that s-line especially in the trees. I've tried working with the undertsable Hades, but it just turns over on me so I guess I'm not giving it enough hyzer angle. The one finger grip is so much more comfortable, but it's completely useless when I try to forehand a midrange or putter due to the deeper rim making it more wobbly. Guess I have some work to do.

[@kape3903]

If i do the stack grip, my skin gets in the way of the rim.. It does not feel good to throw the disc when the skin is on the way. Any solution?

[@rickrey9142]

just use one finger, i've been flicking forehands for awhile no problem going 350+ I am able to put quite a lot of spin on it so, if I use a lower speed disc its pretty easy to turn over for a flip shot. I tried the stack grip but it never felt comfortable thumb pressure will help keep your angles

[@timorautiainen1783]

I have pretty much same problem, webbing with my thumb and index finger is bit malformed to extend more out from base of the gap so it hurts. What I've used which feels lot more comfortable especially with midranges somewhat like this (only description). Keep your middle finger straight on the rim like on stack grip. Then with index finger make about 90 degree bend inwards from first joint on the rim. So it pretty much ends up being under the thumb's tip under the plate. This way I also seem to get better contact and do not need to press as hard on the disc to prevent early release/slipping from hand. Only what I've noticed with this is to keep the nose down can be bit harder. For me at least, could be just lack of training.
