Joel, you rock. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into this, and for being such a great ambassador for the sport.

[@codygarner7337]

Taking these tips to the field for some forehand putter sessions. Thanks for the upload! Congrats on that Top10 at OTB!!

[@zackp6794]

Congrats on the Top 10! Great shooting! Game seems to be coming into shape nicely as the season goes on.

[@BIZARBIES]

Amazing advice... and awesome performance at OTB Open!

[@ChadSolberg]

You did great at OTB. Well done, Dude.

[@dgshivler]

Thanks Joel for helping us learn the basics of good disc golf.

[@jcrow62]

Joel Freeman! Great job last week at the big tournament. So great to see you in the top 10 buddy.

[@willriddle4802]

The normal 18 at Swenson is a disaster for most of us locals lol. Glad you guys found it to be a good course and a little challenge (from what I have heard), in the long layout they made.

[@antoniosalido1095]

Awesome video! Got the forehand putter flick down in the field yesterday. Thanks for the tips!

[@dustydogholbrook9617]

Great video. I'm just learning forehand and love the putter advice. Love the Black Ace Gear shirt. Those guys rock.

[@cmonjose]

*more than halfway thru the video* "so before we get started..." lol

[@IronGoober]

I think this is excellent advice. I really need to find the patience to go and try it out. I just wanna rip stuff as hard as I can! but I know this would yield better results in the long run. I appreciate all the detailed insights.

[@outandabout259]

Learn to throw forehand with putters! I practised it for a while last winter when snow prevented me from using my drivers, and now my sidearm is better than ever - accurate, controlled, no wobble, and I can now throw up to 400 feet!

Great Tourney at OTB! Definitively building!

[@AlphaOmega_1111]

How come my shoulder hurts after throwing forehand? Sore for a week

[@stefanhoffman7052]

Thats an odd grip. Mine is odder haha. I stack ring and middle at the rim and fan index towards center for angle control. Forehanding putters and mids might be my favorite part of the game, and easy to practice.

[@pipertripp]

Nice explanation and advice. Will definitely be implementing these tips.

[@DiscOutpost]

I have been really enjoying your videos. Thank you! I'm very sorry you have to play with Locastro often.

[@jb9189]

Right at 10:44 you make a comment about how the angle of your disc changes a lot on the throw during the swing. This isn’t incorrect nor a bad thing. Watch Paul Mcbeth forearm drive… he holds the disc sideways at a 90 degree angle and backswings like a bowler would and in between transitions to a flat release. There’s so much motion in the disc. Let me know what you think I’m interested to hear your reasoning. I also do see a lot of great disc golfers throw completely flat like you’re trying to achieve.

[@natehill9948]

Was great to finally meet you and get my Gator3 inked! Come back next year for OTB brotha!

[@ishersweet]

You’re gonna play in porterville at Bartlett park! I’m from porterville but live in Wyoming now! How funny that you have aced at Romero in Cheyenne and now you get the chance to do it in my old hometown!

[@KW-qd8gu]

Good tips. I don’t throw forehands unless I absolutely have to, and they’re usually pretty bad. I think it’s a matter of being a little scared of em and also being lazy about putting in the effort to practice. I’m gonna try some of this stuff for sure though.

[@isaks3243]

I personally use a different type of power grip where I bend the middle finger so the finger tip touches the rim and has the index finger going forward until it touches the rim (if that makes sense) I have tried for quite some time to get the same grip as the one you're doing to work but I always throw way further to my right than i'm aiming and with no power what so ever and crazy wobble. but since I switched to my kind of power grip can I throw further with my forehand than I can with my backhand and my longest backhand throws are at the 100 meter mark and my record forehand is 110. so I do more forehand drives than backhand drives just because this worked so well.

[@SSJChar]

nice nice, looking forward to try these tips!

[@bengeise8390]

If you're ever in pa again id love to rip ship rock or muddy run with you! Great elevation and wooded

[@josiahfry3635]

Home courses! Ship is one of my favorite courses ever.

What do you use to film yourself for slow motion?

[@joelfreemanhole-hearted6305]

DJI Pocket 2

[@mikefieldson6547]

Great vid a d great OTB tourney! It's the release on putters and midranges that is difficult for me. Normal stacked grip with any driver comes off ok, but the extra lip makes it hang on my middle finger and causes the disc to come off late and start way left. Any ideas?

[@rogerjones332]

Great tips, thanks again

[@zvrudny]

Great vid, love the tip about filming in slow mo especially! Not piling on/attacking, but trying to be constructive: In my opinion, the wrist pump when you load before you throw is the biggest thing you can go after in your form. Like a fake before the real throw. You're a Pro, so surely not mentioning anything you haven't noticed already. I mostly just enjoyed the video and want to give you comment traffic 🚦🙂 Keep pumping out great content

[@joelfreemanhole-hearted6305]

Totally! I was experimenting today with leaving out the pump fake and I was loving the results. Even the pros still learn new things every day! Thanks for the comment!

[@zvrudny]

@@joelfreemanhole-hearted6305 Really appreciate you taking the time to comment, means a lot! If/when you visit MN we'll see you at BRP. Good luck on the next leg of the season

[@publicenemyno1316]

You really should try out Kayak Point up here in Seattle. If you think that course was a throwers course, then you'd think this one is a bomber course

[@zaboogoosfraba6699]

How far from the basket should I start Thank you

[@joelfreemanhole-hearted6305]

Wherever feels easy, but substantial enough to feel like you have to put a little bit of power behind it. Try 120ft or so and see how that works.

[@jansingber376]

Love the vid.... Whale rider

[@baconsporks]

All the info I can find says the end of the trail is in September. What am I missing? 🤔

V-I-salia V-Eye-salia haha but good tips. Hope you shoot well!

[@sheldonjefferson6515]

Great video, did you say what putter you like to flick?

[@joelfreemanhole-hearted6305]

The Whale

[@joelfreemanhole-hearted6305]

Whatever is comfortable for you will work great though!

[@sheldonjefferson6515]

Thanks Joel!

[@devonmcgettigan6469]

I really can’t stand this man lol, sitting here waiting 5 minutes for him to even begin to mention the forehand.

[@gabrielmiller9517]

Thanks for the great content! Stoked to flick some putters
