How to tell if your timing is off and how to fix it!

[@elephantricity]

Defintely what has helped me is not turning my shoulders to early and round. I focus on driving my elbow first before consciously rotating my shoulders. This took me from 390~ to 440~ on my power golf shots really quickly. My other mechanics were sound, so this simple change really helped

[@mackyd955]

This is one of the few channels I can give a thumbs up to the vids before I even watch, thanks for the knowledge Danny

[@TheShadowSplicer]

Found this while searching for vehicle engine timing diagnosis. Took me till 1:05 to realize this wasn't at all what I was looking for...

[@ronszudarek3382]

your fault.

[@hlg_theshepherd2873]

Lol this is too good

[@Postermaestro]

lol

[@temkef6124]

You were probably real confused for a good minute lol

[@gcoffey223]

Slow is smooth and smooth is far. Now where have I heard that. Still one of the best tips ever.

[@Nick-gp3xu]

Thank you for these videos. After several years of playing I feel like I am making major improvements. That whole section on shoulder timing is me and I can muscle it on a straight line ~300, but I know it's not using my whole my body effectively. Always try and watch a few of these before a round and now I'm definitely looking forward to todays.

[@MrTikka12]

This guy is the only channel on youtube which makes actually good videos on how to improve your game.

[@Javaman92]

Danny, Listening to what you said I found it could be very helpful, but I have to admit I am a visual learner. I will listen to what you said a few times hoping to have it come across but I have to say, a visual would be worth, at least to me, a thousand words.

[@DannyLindahl]

Javaman92 I would have loved to but I didn't have a chance to shoot the footage! I will next time.

[@matthewhondorf3339]

Javaman92 I'm in the same boat. I'm hopeless without visuals.

[@vsopvic6608]

Thank you for the explaination of pulling into the shoulders! that has been a tremendous crutch in my game

[@madmikey1980]

right around 2 1/2 beers is normally where I find my timing is at peak. I don't go with the John Daly approach with the ratio of 12 beers to one round, but some may find that an added value approach.

[@antonbarstrom6959]

Very helpful! I recommend your channel to all of my newbie discgolf buddies. Also, this video would do better with some visuals of what you are talking about (slowmo drives) and in my opinion the background music is in the way. Just you talking would make easier to follow what you are talking about.

[@DannyLindahl]

Anton Bårström great! I would have loved to do visuals but I was already behind schedule and I didn't have time to film! The background music is as low as I can do it without shutting it off. I like it as it keeps the video from being too dry. I will try and keep it as low as possible though! Thanks!

[@AJLowrie]

Danny, what are some drills and or things to think about to fix the problem of the shoulders coming in too early that you talk about around 3:30? I often round with my hand coming up and have never been able to really fix it and get a good straight pull.

[@mlm303]

Hi Danny, love the channel and your vids. One question: What is the timing of the hips in relation to the timimg of the arm and shoulders? I've heard that the throw starts from the feet up and that hip rotation provides a lot of power. Thanks and keep up the good work.

[@Zaekyr]

I've been watching your videos in the past couple weeks and now I've just realized .....I have a =Danny.

[@jakehamberger]

Okay so here you say start with the elbow but I often hear start from the ground up. Which part of the body starts the throw first?

[@ahshit9533]

i thought this was about cars

Jesus, me too!

Bahahah me too, Top three listed video on facebook.

What Ryan said, whenever you get to it. Thanks again!

[@aaroncase5943]

The only way to fix your form and timing is field work all the time...record yourself.. throw your whole bag forehand and backhand all shots..anny..flat..hyzer..rollers..ect. ..over and over... then throw putters and mids over and over on all angles.. get a practice basket and putt over and over from a short distance until your 100% then move back... you can't get good watching videos..it might help a little but nothing will ever replace field work...repetitions and muscle memory.

[@rossjohn414]

Outstanding and helpful all around. Minor quibble on this one, corrected further in, was advising to move slowly on the throw, when it appears you mean slowly on the walkup and footwork but quickly on pulling the arm through the power triangle, starting--I assume at reachback, straight with the disc but not necessarily ramrod straight with your arm. I've been at it for 20 years and never understood the value of rotating back to shoulders fully rotated and keeping the disc basically on the intended line, start to finish. It's huge. I was at the point of tweaking a 27-year-old back that I will assume now has new life--and my game along with it. I can see you may have moved on with a possibly time-consuming and tedious process, but I'm hoping your virtue was close to its own reward in addition to teaching being the very best way to learn. You internalize the lesson more completely and constructively when you have to figure out how to teach it. Short version of my rant: you done good. Live long and prosper, good sir and attend to your wry sense of humor. I find that self-rewarding as well.

[@davep3739]

good work brother

[@bensoberphobic1934]

do you happen to have any other options than FB to send videos? I would prefer to stay away if possible. Thanks,

[@Chris.Davies]

Danny, going fast on the teepad does indeed affect your timing, but it doesn't PREVENT good timing, it just makes it tougher. You need to distinguish between the two things. You always need to use the top performers as a reference point, and many top throwers are running on the teepad for their power shots. Explaining the difficulty of timing when running on the approach is all that's needed. Running on the teepad messes most people up, *because they have not practiced their timing at those speeds.* If it were not possible to get timing right at high speeds - no pros would be doing it. Claiming the x-step *should* be small is simply untrue. The best throwers in the world - or at least the ones with ectomorphic body types are able to create very large x-steps, and use it to their advantage. It allows more time to reachOUT, and fully turns the body away from the line of play. Can you throw far without a massive x-step? Yes, you can. Can you throw further with a bigger x-step? Yes, you can because it allows extra time to over-rotate the shoulders and generate a longer reachOUT - *provided you get the timing right!* I am totally against ever releasing a video that is not complete. If you have exercises for a video, then include them, and delay the video's release. No one is going to complain.

[@DannyLindahl]

Thanks for the input Chris. You are absolutely correct at a upper professional level. My videos aren't generally aimed at that audience. Based on the feedback I get from my page most of my audience has been playing

[@HaikesXO]

3 years later but here to add that X steps should be SMALL you can’t stay as balanced if it’s too big. Sure it’s relative to the person but it’s about balance. Almost a quick skip rather than a step

[@ZenTech]

I was looking for engine timing and found this and lemme tell ya... i was real fukin confused for a minute.
