HOW TO THROW FARTHER AND IMPROVE YOUR FORM | EASY FIX TO GAIN DISTANCE IN DISC GOLF

I actually was the person that asked the question, and I can't believe you did this. You are a CRUSHER.

You were Paul, and thx man because everyone is loving it lol

@@DiscGolfKid Check out BlitzDG, dude throws 500 stand still.

[@chadjacksonDG]

Your getting no hate from me. You set out to hit a goal of 380 and fell short of it by just a tiny bit! In my opinion, you showed everybody that you can do it. Great vid bro.👍

[@sthogan]

Awesome! I am 64 years old and flirting with 300’ maybe one in 10 hits it. I learned more about the use of hips and shoulders watching this. I tend to use too much arm strength and it slows me down. Thank you!

[@Minus2BandMusic]

I'm at 275-280 ft with my stand still and I'm trying to do what your doing. Thanks for the video

[@bobbyb9263]

Damn nice throws! I wish I could get that distance with an x step. Great job 👏

[@steveackerman5066]

Absolutely amazing! Please don’t listen to any hater. I’d love to see their video of throwing a standstill like that. I see Paige Pierce taught you well from that one video. I hope she sees this! Well done!

[@patissanchez]

@discgolfkid Great job on the videos, I am pretty much your complete opposite, just started playing a few months ago at 50 years old, 6'4" and built like a cement truck but wanted to say your videos have helped me.

[@chillokapi5225]

Way to go Luke.... keep at it!

[@anthonys7976]

You’re nose angle control is on point.

[@DiscGolfKid]

Thanks man!!

[@skarpengland]

My standstills started improving, as soon as i realised that activating my arm in the throw, made me throw the disc more upwards. Literally then i realised, that your ARM is the one factor that can mess up your throw in the backhand, so i thought; Then leave it out of the equation! (Like literally everyone say; Arm is just a rubber band) Then i started using my hips more, and my throws got a lot better

[@douglaspark5890]

Great standstills! I'm curious how much distance you add with an x-step. Keep throwing!

[@phillipdyer4864]

Keep it up. My stand still in no where near that far., 375 is a crush. I believe you are fully capable of crushing the 380 mark. So keep uo the good work.

[@johnshepherd6925]

Liked and subscribed. You're killing it dude.

[@EthanDiscgolf]

I absolutely suck at stand stills, so I need to work on this for sure!

[@derekhiggins9565]

Amazing throws. I think you might've gotten closer than you think or possibly beat 380'. The last throw went quite a bit to the right. That would be farther than straight up the field. If you think about it, the distance of a football field corner to corner would be farther than just north to south.

Dang dude. Was just now out at a field and trying to dial in the backhand. My efforts didn't go as well as yours, but thanks for the tips and inspiration!

[@jameshartwell4345]

I’m impressed. Nice

[@markadkins9290]

Impressive young man! Ignore the haters, they just have problems!

[@DiscGolfKid]

Thx man 🤙🏼

[@Robotron2084Guide]

Fun video. Will give you some hints…. Your upper body is actually utilizing the “shoulder tilt” of a ball golf swing. And the hips are a rotational socket not a muscle, which means you are actually rotating them to keep them out of the way while strong muscles of torso and legs are doing the work. Good work on your timing. Cheers.

[@PitchperfectDG]

Nice you can throw further with your stand still then I can with an x step. Impressive.

[@DiscGolfKid]

Thanks man! Tons of practice combined with being tall and lanky 😂

[@bepriceless]

Pretty darn close. And great accuracy. I often wonder how those super long run ups, like James Conrad's, actually help any distance. It's very obvious how it hurts his accuracy. Anyway, nice vid. thanks.

[@bobfreeman7388]

Yeah you definitely don't need to run up as long as him but a run-up done correctly will add some distance and shouldn't hurt your accuracy that much

[@kurtbowker6853]

What is the app you are using to measure the distance you walked?

[@DiscGolfKid]

We used the UDisc app, then confirmed by walking it off - but honestly we also realized the football field is 300’ from goal line to goal line (100 yds) plus 30’ each endzone, so having the 360’ total benchmark also confirmed UDisc was spot on…

[@christopherjasonbarr2289]

What music are you using on the intro and outro of your videos?

[@DiscGolfKid]

The theme song from inception, my dad made it

[@christopherjasonbarr2289]

Awesome, cheers. Great vid as well. I'm struggling with breaking the 300ft barrier and unfortunately there's no one that does coaching in West Australia

[@kalyngriffin1518]

I have no doubt that you can hit 380. You killed it bro. And you got yourself a new subscriber. Looking forward to more content

[@ScottYonehiro1]

Dude, awesome throws!

[@DiscGolfKid]

Thanks!

[@rjwalker4153]

I only wish I could throw it that far even with a run up. I only use forehand for drives though because my backhand is pitiful. I have a bad hip though, so it's hard for me to rotate properly. That's my excuse anyway. My brother has what to me seems like a nice backhand but even he maxes out at 250. To think you can throw it 370 standing still is amazing to me. It makes me think the run up / approach isn't so important as what comes after. Or am I wrong ?

[@DiscGolfKid]

I’ve heard A lot of top pros suggest that beginners only throw standstills until they feel comfortable with it. But there’s definitely a point where that extra momentum running up gives you an extra 30% more distance

[@Rydal1]

@@DiscGolfKid do you do any form checks

[@DiscGolfKid]

Dm me on insta!! Send a vid and I’ll critique if you want for free.

[@cesar52157]

360+ from standstill! Wow, I feel so inadequate, lol. Btw, that looks like Barnett Park 👍

[@DadAboutIt]

Crushed. I'd say your max dist if you spent a few hours doing this would be around 400+ pretty sure a few would touch it the way you're crushing. 370 from standstill and golf lines? MONSTER

[@xzysyndrome]

What you need are the latest limited run Hotstamp discs that all the top Pro's are using...the more swirls the more distance they fly. Plain old production discs are for scrubs. You do not need to worry about having the throwing arm of a Pro...just bag what they throw...and you will be throwing like a Pro in no time flat. #endsarcasm. I have been stuck between 350-385 now for some time...I am starting to accept that at 50 years old...that is it. No Ledgestone for me lol....

[@trevorquackenbush5]

Tried to watch the hip engagement, but got distracted by that super weird left wrist snap in the slow motion part.

[@Rydal1]

Do you have any bh toutroials ? For us noobs that can't throw 370 with xstep

[@DiscGolfKid]

Nothing recent, if you scroll through my old videos there’s one with a form comparison to Paul McBeth, then the first video I ever did discusses the footwork. Neither one of them are good videos so I need to do something new!

[@cameroncraig771]

You throw farther than me man regardless if you hit your goal or not.

[@samhowl1152]

Not to be the hater, but c'mon. Your tip to engage the hips is turn them all the way away from the target and then back towards the target? That's pretty common advice. I wish you had slowed down the speed of the video somewhere around 40 seconds in when you're demonstrating the motion and spoken about that more. I can do the part rotating the hips backwards, but the part I can't figure out is how you get the rear hip to go towards the target, like yours does when you say load the hips. I really think this is the part I'm missing. Can you help explain please?

[@DiscGolfKid]

hmmm, I’m gonna think about that and maybe even upload an entire video. Hopefully it will help you.

[@samhowl1152]

@@DiscGolfKid I'm trying my best to make improvements. All I throw are standstills. I can push a hades about 300 to 320. Most people think that's pretty good, but I know there's more to be had.

This is not a “how to” video. This is a “look what I can do” video. An actual breakdown of how to legit throw a standstill shot would be useful to many of us.

[@lakerl7372]

No hate here but I'm just saying that if you want to improve your form go watch a pro's form like Simon or Eagle. They both have the best form and best looking. Before I started working on my form it looked absolute trash lol but then I worked on making my form more like Simon's and Eagle's and I have gained 100 ft of distance and it looks better. I kinda feel like you just watched one of the pro's videos on form and copied and took credit for it.

[@DiscGolfKid]

no hate here, but what does that have to do with me uploading a tip/challenge video😂

Congrats, you're a real dick. You didn't even have to watch someone else video to do it.
