Thanks to a lesson from OverThrow Disc Golf I was able to go from a fundamental misunderstanding on how to throw a forehand to a reliable technique for me to use in my game the next day.

As a left below knee amputee myself I want to say thank you for putting out the content I’m glad I found it I’m not a lot further along in my progression of the sport but I’m there with you 💯👍👏

That’s so cool, exactly what my goal for the channel is

A big thing that helped with forehand for me, and my father who is learning from my mistakes, is focusing on the wrist not rolling over. You want that wrist to swing in along with your forearm, removing as much wobble as you can. I've spent time not even holding a disc or anything just moving my wrist back and forth like a pendulum to build that muscle memory. That and release timing. Forehands with understable discs are some of the coolest shots to watch and getting them to come out clean and stable every time is what makes them work so well. Take care! Glad to see you getting involved in such a fun and challenging sport.

That’s a similar frame of what I learned in the video, the big thing I was missing was loading it before and finishing the wrist motion all the way. Been a lot of fun learning for sure

What exactly do you mean by "roll over"?

@funyondip3807 Ай бұрын

@@simonrasmussen8166 What I mean is when throwing a forehand, if your wrist isn't swinging flat with your forearm, it will lead to inaccurate shots and also a good chance of hurting yourself. I've just heard this being described as rolling your wrist or rolling over for short.

Hey brother. Thanks for posting this video. My forehand is junk. I learned to throw only BH on anhyzer when I needed that angle. Going to try your (& Josh's) tip of pre-loading before the throw. Also found your suggestion to focus early on just the abbreviated range of motion a light bulb moment for me. Be well and keep posting.

Thank you for sharing. I felt so disorganized and Josh cleaned me right up. I’ll keep sharing my lightbulbs. The small range of motion and having no emphasis on distance seems to be the way to get the best distance. Let me know how it goes

Found your channel via the Disc Golf Rabbit hole ... Love OT / Josh and his technical approach to breaking down movements. I think that increased Range of Motion in your wrist is for sure the engine of imparting spin / power to the disc. While what you are doing with your off arm, (coiling, when you load your disc to opening when you pull through and follow through... Add the footwork, hips, torso etc, etc... I'm sure being a throwing athlete helps with those lower body mechanics as they feel so natural. I'm committing to adding forehand throws to my bag of tricks this season and looking forward to how it can help my game.

best tip I've seen that actually made an instant improvement for me a 850 rated player. had to change my bag and add more stable discs after trying this. i get the need by peps to push content but just having a simple ez mental cue and learning the feel works best for me. trying to do all these precise form mechanics some instruct only messes my game up. I just thought of moving my wrist inward and bam instant improvement. another que that helped my backhand is look up to throw anny, look straight to throw straight, and look down to throw hyzer. everyone is different but this helped me.

I've been coaching for over a decade, and yeah, you can really only learn one thing at a time. Now if you work on the right things, it commonly will have a positive impact on the other things that need improvement. So stoked this worked so well for you. I'll be sure to keep sharing

Good tips, thx

I'm not an amputee but have back issues that restrict my back- and forehand. The flick-approach looks good, I'll try it out. ❤ Also, very inspiring to see someone who has a real handicap but doesn't complain but actually does things - as opposed to so many in our society who have no real problems but complain all the time, if you know what I mean.

I can choose life or a slow death, I'm getting after it. Hope this helps and let me know if I can help with figuring out anything else in terms of playing with physical limitations.

i enjoy throwing more under stable discs sidearm now with hyzer release.. once i got good at that i was hitting near 400ft easily so i think anyone can.. more of a finger push out and arm push forward but on hyzer vs a choppin actoin
