Thanks for another great video.

Your forehand's looking pretty good! 👏 With all that snow, you might want to pack a chamois cloth with you.

Interesting... Your putting is quite similar to mine... Back leg back, front vertical, and a sharp flat putt smashing the chains. I use a Proxy to emphasize the flat putts without fading too early.. Sometimes Anhyzer to hold more (And the speed counters any lift right. I often get the comment that either 'Your really throwing those putts hard", or "You really wanted to make sure that stayed in"... If I don't get something like that during a game I'm putting too weak... The result is my misses go further... but I'm getting way more in.. and at longer distances.. so with the increased confidence, the extra distance overshoots are less worrying. The sharp flat putt means I can use any disc... and it works in strong wind. (I only changed in the last few months so there are teething problems... Last week I wasn't getting good pop.. found I was standing more upright so didn't gain that extra push from the chest that when leaning forward had a bit more reachback under my tilted forwarded stance... I note your using Flippy discs for your "learning"...

[@TheButlerNZ]

I do note your throwing your putts from your left side... Try the same thing.. but from mid chest... (almost belly as your leaning forward) Leave that arm extended till the disc hits chains (ok unless you miss)...

As someone who’s forehand is waaaayyyy better than my back hand. I max out at 400-420ft on my forehand. And 340-380ft back hand. Using those exact same discs. I would recommend two things. One the disc you chose are perfect for learning forehand. Ridiculously flippy discs teach you finesse and angle control.and ingrained good wrist angle control. Throwing neutral to slightly overstable discs teaches you to roll the wrist. Which is a bad thing. Forehand is about a wrist flick not roll. And two Sllllllooooowwwwwww down the run. You are moving just like in your back had too fast. You loose all release angle and nose angle control in about 85% of the throw on this video. I can flick forehand a mamba from a stand still on 40deg hyzer at 80% power about 320ft casually. You arm speed is great but your run up is throwing your accuracy off. I like the steady improvements you are making overall. But serious stop with the fast run ups. You loose balance on both forehand and backhand because your body is trying to catch up to the feet in a micro second. My walk up for forehand is the same pace I walk naturally. Because it gives me the most consistent rhythm. Makes the arm movements smooth, fast, consistent wrist flick. Power will come in time technique is way more important

If you can forehand a Mamba without it immediately turning into a roller, you're doing pretty good. I can only forehand my Halo and Champion Mamba, and that's on a lot of hyzer angle. GStar and Star Mambas don't like to be thrown forehand by me at all. (Yes, I have the Mamba in 4 different plastics)

@@scottw5253 thanks! Mine is a Gstar (163 g)

Your Mamba numbers at the beginning of the video are incorrect, later on in the video you get them correct. Your forehand isn't bad, definitely better than mine.
