[@johnwahlborg686]

I havent moved on from standstill 3 year in, and playing like 80 times per year. They call me standstill John now.

That’s fantastic 😂

As a beginner a month ago, i have been really practinge stand stills daily. I have learned a lot. My max drive went from average 90-100 feet. To 260-350 feet consistently. In 2 weeks. It takes practice for sure. But i love the suprise of a long drive from a standstill. Great video.

Thank you!

I threw my entire second year of tournament play from the standstill position and actually began to win a few tournaments. Great technique to work on timing and weight shift. Thanks for the video

I meet a guy at the course the other day who only threw standing still. No run ups and still could throw 400+ feet. He said it was all in form, which is true. Really made me rethink my game.

[@GladiatorDiscGolf]

Absolutely!

I love what you've done with the place.

I've only been playing for ~7 or 8 months, still throw stand-still on the course. I work on the run-up during field work. Threw my first even-par round at weekly handicaps last Saturday, started playing there last week of February and put up a +15, +15 , +11 and +13 the first four weeks. It's a relatively easy course with several low-ceiling shots but not a big premium on hitting your line exactly. Need the added distance of the run-up now to get some more reasonable birdie chances since I can only get to circle 1 from the tee on about half the holes (depending on basket placement).

Congrats on the first E round! Walk ups are great. Keep practicing in the field and slowly add it to your rounds. You got this!

[@LiQWYD]

Awesome, thanks a lot man!

[@GladiatorDiscGolf]

No problem! Thank you for the support!

[@gogopossum]

First! And I’ve been searching this topic recently, thanks!

[@GladiatorDiscGolf]

Glad it was helpful!

Good video ( Did this last night after practicing my putting, Did forehand up shots from 70 to 125 ft.) 😎👍🏻🥏

[@GladiatorDiscGolf]

Nice work! How did it go?

[@stevekeller4798]

Good about 20ft putts and in.

[@stevekeller4798]

Zone and Harps are perfect for that.

[@chrysr7773]

Holy moly, that mustache looks like a stage prop.

[@CA-tk8yn]

Zero difference in my stand still vs run up, expect in consistency. The stand still is more consistent. I play to win.

You excited bout Tebow getting a shot as a tight end

[@GladiatorDiscGolf]

I was definitely not expecting it! Am I happy for him, yes, but he's been out of the NFL for 5-6 years. His body hasn't taken hits like that in a LONG time. TE is a physical position. It will be interesting to see how he does. I think he will be a stellar locker room guy and will be a great teacher and mentor to Trevor Lawrence (more about how to handle the pressure, less about being a top caliber NFL QB).
