Solid presentation. 🔥

[@EMPIREDISCGOLF]

Thank you sir 🤝

[@jussiheikkinen7361]

This is the best distance video I’ve seen and strangely enough it’s very short with not many throws 😂 Great stuff buddy!

[@NickCarroll]

Lot of great advice here! I like that you pushed for working on things until you "move the needle." A lot of people - myself included - can get discouraged easily, and a lack of results can stop us from even trying to progress.

[@EMPIREDISCGOLF]

That’s what I noticed. I would try one thing for a couple days and it wouldn’t work and I would move on to the next think that I thought would “fix” everything. Whenever I just hyper focused on a few small things is when I saw a huge difference!

[@widespreadpermic9967]

Started a weekly field work session with the local DG community. I am excited to see how much it will improve all our games. Great advice, thank you! Subbed!

[@TheTeamdom]

I enjoyed these tips, especially the one about being on toes and moving laterally. 👍🏼

[@The1jonnyz]

Between this video and the shoulder turn video, I have gained at least 75 feet on my drives! I just started disc golfing a year and a half ago so I could play with my boys. In that time I've watched a ton of videos and nothing ever really helped. I'm going to be 67 in June and was lucky if I could hit 225 to 250. After these TWO 5 minute videos I am throwing up to 300 feet! Not only that my accuracy has gotten much better too. My upshots and putting have always been good so I am showing some great scorecards now. Appreciate your videos and thanks for helping this old timer out!!

[@Lankybrit52]

Great tips. You explain things very well.

[@EMPIREDISCGOLF]

Thank you 🤝

[@BeFreeDiscGolf]

This is going to help everyone from a new beginner to a 10 year pro looking to clean things up. Great video man!

[@Bulwark515]

Watching this video I now see that my heel is down on my Xstep and that has been a major hindrance on my distance and transference of power. Much thanks! Now to put some reps in

[@EMPIREDISCGOLF]

Glad I could help!

[@ThisIsVao]

Nice, short and to the point. I concur and this will help others for sure. I’m 5’5 and last year I focused on this hitting 450 before it snowed. Getting back into it playing tournaments, I feel I have been throwing farther. Maybe not 450 right now but it has benefited me in my division! Right now focusing on my line, approach and putting. Good stuff bro. 👊🏽

[@BlitzDG]

Dead on. Great tips. I stumbled on this LINKED to the video I just dropped going over some of the SAME things. Keep em coming buddy!

[@EMPIREDISCGOLF]

Heck yea thanks for dropping in! I’ll keep em coming for sure!

[@derekrochniak363]

One of the small tweaks that helped add distance to my throw was to loosen my grip. The tighter you grip the disc, the more rigid your wrist is. When you loosen your grip, your wrist is able to act more like the tip of a whip and you are able to generate more spin on the release. More spin means the disc will be able to cut through the air more efficiently, which will keep the disc in the air longer. The biggest area I still struggle with is the weight transfer

[@Agent_Michael_Scarn]

Truly good advice

[@martinhenrysson6632]

Awesome, I never thought of this :) This will help alot

[@EMPIREDISCGOLF]

Awesome!

[@darrellwatson955]

Great video and really well explained

[@tremendous9137]

Nice job on video young fella! This is how you make a disc golf video. Cut through all the bullshit and got straight to the point. Skipped all the " information overload " that nearly all other videos have. Good shit!

[@arhshields]

So much great info in this vid...easy sub, man. Keep this top-tier content coming.

[@EMPIREDISCGOLF]

Of course! Have a ton of content planned out these next couple weeks👀

[@CincySmokeSignals]

You're a good form teacher for being so young.

[@michaelcushman]

You nailed it! PDGA 308

[@pisteville7797]

Thanks, seeing your proggress I can see the free fall to brace benefits better now. Not free falling (trying to reach the ground)started you to open up plant foot in the air.

[@EMPIREDISCGOLF]

Yes that’s still one of my bigger flaws in my form. I have actually found that there’s not as big of a distance different between when my plant foot is closed off compared to slightly open. It does mess up my aim causing me pull the disc right.

[@pisteville7797]

Yeah, I dont think that is important. More important that with the new form you dont straighten your leg in the air. You kind of wait until it drops to ground bent and then straighten it.

[@natetronic7566]

“Stop watching these videos and start actually practicing” And I took that personally. For real though great video and you are correct I watch way too many videos and not enough actual practice so thanks for the wake up

[@jonbowman5647]

Get it bro! Great video. If it wasn't 830 at night I would go pump a few.

[@joem8496]

Boom goes the clarity

[@EMPIREDISCGOLF]

That’s what’s up!

[@hoodrich4375]

Coiling the shoulders against the hips is a HUGE tip. I think once people start trying it, they are going to feel WAY more tension that they are used to and probably realize they also have a flexibility problem lol

[@brandynbeyer5130]

If you like the pilot, you’ll love the MVP Ohm because they’re the same mold. One has a gyro mold one doesn’t.

[@Clippedcomedy1]

This video helped a ton!

[@EMPIREDISCGOLF]

Im glad to hear that!

[@ZeeK33NKS]

Great stuff!

[@EMPIREDISCGOLF]

Appreciate it!

[@emilnilsson7492]

Dude you're the best.

[@dehavendiscgolf]

Finally a good form video where someone throws shade at the YT coaches. I’ve been tacked at 450 consistent and a personal best of 491’ for six months now with hundreds of hours of form work under my belt. The shoulders have always been my biggest issue I really cut off my power pocket, weight shift is good but really enjoyed the concise and to the point way you applied it! Most other “form coaches” teach such BS. Cheers on your season brutha!

[@CalebThomasDG]

Solid video bro!

[@EMPIREDISCGOLF]

Thank you sir 🤝

[@chrisvanrensburg7474]

Great video

[@EMPIREDISCGOLF]

Love that you liked it!

[@SH-Fotodesign]

Thank you for the info! Question! When you wheight shift, do you push hard forward with your back leg?

[@s-hedlund]

What did your net sessions look like? Did you film the entire session, did you work on specific things or did you just experiment to see what felt best, etc? About to start training against a net myself but not quite sure how to structure it.

[@MrMscience]

Can you talk a little more about what you did or how it feels to go from “flopping” the leg to feeling the weight shift? I am for sure not doing the weight shift correctly. I know what it’s supposed to look like but my back leg isn’t cooperating. I’m on my toes during the x step

[@EMPIREDISCGOLF]

Sure thing I have some videos planned out for later this week going over some concepts I forgot to talk about!

[@shawnwhite1645]

@ 4:00 - 4:05 Did you just admit to having 6 fingers on your right hand? I know a Spaniard that's looking for you. (Princess Bride reference😉😂) Maybe that extra digit is why you're throwing so much further than I am.

[@Dassinn]

I’ve known this with the backfoot turning away from the target and taking to large of an xstep. But for the life of me I can’t seem to fix it. How did you go about fixing that? 😳

[@Miiloh]

I've also started doing a lot of these things recently but only been doing it during my rounds, guess I need a net...

[@EMPIREDISCGOLF]

The net is a game changer! It allows you to get way more reps without your confidence being swayed by where the disc is going

[@heartdisciple]

Are you actually pulling the arm or just letting the arm whip along with the rmomentum?

[@EMPIREDISCGOLF]

Nope that’s one of the biggest things that helped me. I stopped trying to pull with my arm and kept it more loose to let it snap through when I shift my weight

[@heartdisciple]

@@EMPIREDISCGOLF awesome thanks. I’ve practiced that in the field and it’s been great except that I tend to pull to the right too much so I need to rotate shoulders back more possibly. Any tips on having that whip and not pulling?

[@sandersj09]

My problem with throwing into a net is you don’t see the result of the throw. You can feel like it’s an absolute rip and all the mechanics are linking up to a great throw. Then you go out to the course and feel the same things aaannnnnddddd your disc lands 50 short again on the 400ft hole you have thrown 1000’s of times. I say this to ask , throw into a net to just get the feel of a specific mechanic you are working on?

[@nickgeisler5409]

I think the hardest part is figuring out how to weight switch

[@EMPIREDISCGOLF]

I have a video explaining how I figured this out coming very soon. It was one of the hardest things for me to learn but the most rewarding when I figured it out

[@nickgeisler5409]

@@EMPIREDISCGOLF I will check it out

[@Andyofsuh]

Do you think about pushing your right heel down or just letting it go down from that weight shift?

[@EMPIREDISCGOLF]

I don’t personally think about driving my heel down. I tried it and it made me tight and clunky I found that when I learned to shift off the back leg properly it happened naturally

[@rogernock7865]

I throw 450 and I think the driving back knee into front knee is going to add a missing piece!

[@EMPIREDISCGOLF]

Heck yea! 500 coming soon👀

[@SyloficYT]

underrated af

[@EMPIREDISCGOLF]

Fa sho

[@MusicGW]

how do you keep the disc flat

[@EMPIREDISCGOLF]

do you mean in terms of nose angle?

[@DP-yu4rr]

!!!!!!!!!!!!nice

[@Theaddekalk]

but can you throw in a forest ;)

[@EMPIREDISCGOLF]

You got me😂😂
