How to throw a forehand really far...

This video was an experience to make, that is for sure. I went through the whole process of what I believe to be what a KZbin video, a complete one anyway, needs. Idea, brainstorming, scripting, recording, editing, etc. Subscribe to see what comes next.

Was really excited to watch this.. Was left thinking after the video how Anyone with a 420 FH golf shot could possibly watch this and then get to 500 😢

[@DiscGolfwithSam]

I will admit this video is not comprehensive of everything that goes into a forehand, but reality is, most things in life don’t just happen, it takes time and practice!

@@DiscGolfwithSam This video isn't comprehensive of anything.

[@DiscGolfwithSam]

@@da324 not really meant to be, just some tips to help people to throw further.

Love your videos!

[@DiscGolfwithSam]

Glad you like them!

[@Part-TimeYoungster]

Professional 😮

[@DiscGolfwithSam]

Thanks! The hope is for that to be the norm

[@Eaglemadhatter]

I need to practice more forehand. Thanks

[@DiscGolfwithSam]

Glad I could help!

[@IronGoober]

Good stuff Sam!

[@DiscGolfwithSam]

Appreciate it!

[@reggierappis2530]

Great video!

[@DiscGolfwithSam]

Thanks! I think I’m gonna do a series where I try to reach 600 feet in my forehand soon so stay tuned!

[@se7enine]

That reminds me, I need to do another forehands only round.

[@DiscGolfwithSam]

Love it 👍

As a tennis player, I can hit a ball 80 to 90 mph on both forehand and backhand. However. I can barely drive the disc 30 feet on the forehand side, ripping it at 100 percent power and almost throwing a shoulder out, and after watching several hours of tutorials. Still new to this sport, but the forehand seems like a huge amount of effort, compared to a backhand that I can throw over 200 feet standing still, with very little practice.

[@DiscGolfwithSam]

I was in the same boat when I started, none of my forehand power was translating into disc golf distance. I’ve got some videos planned that may help coming up in the future about my disc golf forehand journey and hopefully it can be of help to you!

[@OkieTradez]

i notice the best distance sidearm guys throw them like theyre skipping rocks on a pond ..

[@DiscGolfwithSam]

True that! I'm gonna make a video on this very concept! I have always been able to skip rocks very far and I do think there is a correlation in the skill required.

[@OrbMan97]

What kind of disc was used on the last throw? Over or under stable?

[@DiscGolfwithSam]

fairly over stable, scale of 1 to 10, 1 being super under stable, 5 being a super straight, and 10 being a tilt, I would say a between 6.5

[@DiscGolfwithSam]

For my arm speed, the disc for that 6.5 will be different for another persons arm speed

[@OrbMan97]

Do you know the exact disc? I would really like to know how you got that S curve going like that

[@DiscGolfwithSam]

It was a alpha bayonet from lonestar

[@DiscGolfwithSam]

How experience are you with disc golf?

[@tdkempton]

I was waiting for the part about adding distance... I already throw 450 =(

[@DiscGolfwithSam]

The idea is that by doing this, distance would improve, perhaps over time, I’m sorry there wasn’t something you were looking for, but I see you’ve already got some serious forehand distance

[@DiscGolfDemastus]

Just means you gotta do more of one of these tips!

[@MrWalteez]

@@DiscGolfDemastus if you got a 400-450 FH and aren’t blessed with MLB level arm talent then your clearly already doing all of these things lol

[@DiscGolfwithSam]

That’s a good point, I’ll make some videos more focused on different levels of the forehand, from amateur 200 to 300, all the way up to 500 +

[@peytonmansell2840]

Helps to be a collegiate tennis player 😂

[@DiscGolfwithSam]

That’s for sure! That’s why you gotta pick up tennis for that forehand 😂

[@PastHisPrime336]

I'm all kinds of messed up. I throw right handed but play tennis left handed.

[@DiscGolfwithSam]

😂😂 that’s tough

[@southwest4147]

I didn’t even know you could throw forehand.

[@DiscGolfwithSam]

Very useful shot to know how to use!

[@OkieTradez]

i think ppl that dont like the tips just dont believe them.. wither they can throw 500ft and know better or they cant and need to at least try what you say! do you think anything about your elbow in the throw? what about your left thigh do you flex it into the throw?

[@DiscGolfwithSam]

I don't really think about much, which may be a bad thing, but I don't like overthinking things when I play. Generally I just think about my aim point. Tournaments anyway, field work is different.

[@sergeygrabo]

forgot to mention the importance of using your lower body!

[@DiscGolfwithSam]

That’s so true, this guide definitely is not comprehensive and missing some of the more detailed explanations, as well as any mention of the lower body, etc
