Dude THANK YOU!!! I felt like I was just guessing at my run-up before watching this. I know how to line-up a regular golf shot…but trying to line-up a disc golf shot with such a major rotation while also moving is hard! These line tips helped and so did watching your footwork. THANK YOU!!! Love the channel. Keep up the great work. 😎👍🥏 Just had to edit and add to this reply. I’ve tried this on two rounds since viewing and was INSTANTLY hitting more gaps whilst my opponent was hitting tree trunk after tree trunk. Thanks man!

[@bomberboy93_37]

This video is exactly what I needed to hear. I was doing a standard run up, but constantly releasing them with an anhiezer no matter what I did. But now I realize it was the fact that I was running from the back right of the teebox to the top left of the teebox and that what was causing it. Thanks Man!!!

Although I am a woods guy, this video helped me a lot already. Yesterday, I applied some of these principles on my home woodsy course (Suwanee Creek Park) and immediately I performed better on three of the four holes that traditionally have given me trouble. Thanks, Robbie! You're the man

I've learned how to play on tight courses here in the Yukon Territory, so choosing the tee box line comes naturally. I still hit obstacles, but they are rarer than when I began playing.

[@toryroberts1343]

Ever since ive gotten a pitching net with a moveable "strike zone" net thing, my accuracy has improved greatly! Its basically a 3x3 grid that velcros onto the net.

Hey robbie!! I am glad I met you the other day at Iron City. Anyway thanks for all the tips you give for the game. I have only been playing for 9 months. But I really enjoy this game. So I can always use tips on how to get better at this. Thanks man!!

[@ChadSolberg]

Awesome as usual. I do this on certain holes but it was always done unconsciously and on holes where it, the teebox, obviously pointed in the wrong direction for the hole... Thanks! I will try to be more aware of this.

[@brandonmiller289]

This is 100% true. During the Mega Bowl I had a card who all hit the same tree and I was the only one to hit the gap and I was the only one who adjusted on the tee box. I actually thought it was common knowledge but I’ve realized it’s not as common. Great video!

This video couldn't have come at a more perfect time. I'm planning to hit a new course this weekend that has a literal tunnel shot - a gap under a bridge, maybe 10 ft wide. We'll see if teebox geometry can aid in my complete lack of tunnel shot skills

[@thecollins41]

Magic City Mega Bowl!!!

[@KonceptLive]

I could not figure out why I could not hit any line after not playing for about 2 weeks. A buddy noticed my run up was off and recorded me from the back of the tee pad. I was able to fix the issue and now I'm throwing better than before. Being more conscious of the line you need to take and how to be positioned in order to achieve it really helped! Seems like such a simple solution, but this is something that is easy to overlook when hitting struggles.

I needed this. Just started playing again after several years off. I always played George Ward, but now I live closer to Trussville. I played Carter a few weeks ago and hit trees on every single hole 😂 it was demoralizing.

[@MrEvans557]

I took some time off too but that muscle memory is starting to kick back in no worries😁

[@aronatvw]

This is great. I typically go straight down the middle, I'm definitely going to change this accordingly. One question I have, I have not seen talked about at all is i often throw a hyzer flip low, specifically when I am going for a large throw, any ideas? Just follow through maybe?

[@drt3k765]

Yo, been playing a long time, but definitely not a pro, so take this with a grain or two of salt. Without seeing your throw, my guess would be that you might be curling your arm on your reach-back, or maybe more accurately, that you're reaching back and up, reaching for what feels like extra power, especially when you're trying to go big, feeling like you need to come crushing down on that angle. Combined with your usual timing for a flat throw, this could be causing your shots to come out low, as you're throwing with your usual timing, but now on a different line in your pull-thru, going from high to low instead of straight through. If that's sounding at all like what the issue might be, try achieving your desired angle by tilting at the hips instead of trying to force the flip with brute force. Basically line up like you're going to throw a flat shot, but then tilt at the hips so that your whole upper body is now on that desired angle, then pull straight through like normal. That way you can get that nice flip pulled through on a flat line, rather than coming down at it. .

[@aronatvw]

@@drt3k765 thank you for the tip I will check that out!! I am constantly worried about rounding and have been trying to consciously square up my arm, shoulders etc which seems to be helping

[@buddyskate8476]

Very cool

[@michaelcushman]

Good point. I would say it another way. Ignore the tee pad's direction, and travel toward your window target, Always. But, make sure you release while on the tee to keep it legal.

[@herken9544]

Im left-handed, if I wanna throw a hyzer, how should I lineup to the teebox? :)

[@robkitchen5344]

No My home course is all dirt patches... constantly getting changed to new locations or back to already established tee off area(can't use tje word "box" or "rectangle" if you want to be precise)...they pretty much get scratched out of the wood chips that are spread over our course... they're oval at the rear and if lucky then they got squared off at the front with length of 4. to 5 feet on average.. If attempting a "run up" then , if there is any space behind the tee.,you would start your strides on the wood chips..how firm depends on how long it's been since new chips were added on top of old chips and then drop down 4-8inches off the layers of chips onto the irregular surface of dirt that can have dips, mound' roots and stones. or a inch or more of chips someone kicked down there in effort to level it somewhat and that layer of chips gets scattered about changing the footing from time your had used it last. The worst are the newest positions because the chips aren't scraped out completely so wherever platers are planting their front foot is always reliably unreliable . And i have bad knees i have to wrap up and still hyperextend them all the time that for that reason alone I'm taking a single stride froward or none at all..... My home course has just 9 baskets...but generally 2 -4 positions to tee off from and even more on a couple different holes...with potentially more as trees fall over and open the LOS to the baskets.... ..most are no wider then 3 ft so there's not a lot of geometry that can be applied

Sometimes the tee pad will actually throw my line off… some tee pads aren’t lined up with the gap you are trying to hit and because I like to use the tee pad in my peripheral to make sure my line is straight it throws off my shot.

I've been doing this since I started it's helped me avoid a lot of trees and other problems. I think it has to do with thinking of it like Mini golf. There's so much space in mini golf you could hit from and some are more advantageous than others so I figured it had to be the same in disc golf haha great video!

[@chainraiderdiscgolf]

Disc golf stands on it's own and I really wish we would get away from "Ball" games terminology. We do not use a "Tee" in disc golf and this is why our crew calls it, "Launch pad, or the box." .... I get it, back in the day they modeled this sport around ball golf. But now, it is out growing ball golf and we need terminology that actually makes sense to this sport. We don't use a tee to rest our discs on, we launch them to a basket/chains....not a hole. Anyway, great video Robbie!

[@nickolasbedford2121]

Bruh, after taking 7 years off of disc golf to focus on family and career, it's been an arduous 6 months of re-education. Over the past few weeks, I've focused on my "Tee-Box Geometry" (although didn't have a cool name for it) from a slightly different perspective. As I approach the tee, ill pick out my line. Then do a quick practice walk-up where I'll pay attention to the relative 90° angle my shoulders should rotate to so that im perpendicular to my line at the peak of the backswing. Feel like it's using geographical features to always know your line although you can no longer see it visually. Yeah, probably overcomplicated, but at least is not math.
