Okay, I've been playing for a couple years and my sidearm is non-existent. The whole sidearm throw like a baseball thing was something I've never heard before. So, I just went outside and threw the farthest sidearm ever into the neighbors backyard. I think I lost the disc, but it went about twice as far as I've ever thrown a sidearm. Thanks!

[@dineshanblazahan9843]

I have shoulder rotatory problem and had zero side arm . After attending Scott session I have consistent 250 feet sidearm now .. his points are too simple to follow

[@ridethecatclone]

Duuude

[@jonathanhelsten171]

Lmao. I did that with a Innova pro boss back in the day. Wasn't even mad I lost it.

[@bigjim4x]

I think Trash Panda did a video on trying different suggestions to improve forehand, and when he got to your throw it like a baseball suggestion he said it was literally a game changer!

[@craigflebu-swainson5195]

Looking forward to trying this, my sidearm distance is pretty much non existent. By the way, to help with the KZbin algorithm it isn't just subscribing but also liking & commentating on the videos too. The more interaction KZbin "sees" on the video the more it will appear in other people's recommendations. At least that's what other content creators have shared previously.

[@andrewhouse2360]

Made this change and immediately added 75-100ft to my sidearm drives. Thanks, Scott!

[@patrickmulvehill292]

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!! I'm 66 been playing for about 2 years and couldn't throw a sidearm to save my life. Well you taught this old dog a new trick. I am now able to throw a decent sidearm that even my grandsons wow about. Thanks again Mr. Stokley.

[@RecRob]

Love the simple break down. It’s so eye opening the way you break this game down. Thank you for all the work you’ve put into this sport we love!

[@nicklong7442]

This is incredible to hear. I had a feeling “rolling the wrist” and “serve the pizza” may have been miss understood.

[@barrypeirson3710]

Scott is the man! When I first started playing I had read a book which FORBID everything but serving the pizza and I gave up on sidearm...until I saw this... This is a game changer for beginners. Well done Scott!

[@MilleyB]

I always thought that my wrist was rolling over top of the disc. Never would have thought I was standing to the side. Thanks for this video!

[@blainehock754]

That last tip about lining up sideways is likely my problem. Thank you for pointing it out

[@ChildishDfollowsGod]

No matter what forehand video I watch, I throw the damn disc into the ground. This video actually helped.

[@johnnymartinez3152]

I watched both commercials cos I knew Scott’s info was going to be solid advice

[@zachcoker4316]

Love what you are doing!!! Thank you for the access !!! Keep at it please!!!

[@teddyellis1341]

Thank you so much for the videos! These help so much!

[@ifyouwereme]

If I hadn't watched the big skins match I wouldn't have taken your forehand skills seriously, but seeing the distance and accuracy you displayed makes me hang on your every word regarding side arms.

[@freshguac7123]

Makes complete sense. I appreciate you, Scott!

[@traderb8709]

Great video scott!

[@jannejaakkola5836]

Very good advice for many and I fully agree. The one crucial thing to point out though is that if you are used to the "pizza grip" where your palm points upwards under the disc, but throw as a ball you will indeed roll your wrist and turn the disc over. Throwing the ball only works if you also have a grip where your fingers are pointing forward under the disc.

[@89mrsurf]

This is the video I needed. Cheers Scott.

[@mspencer3634]

Great video Scott!

[@dalet6250]

Good stuff Scott! Thanks.

[@brandonbyerly7982]

Wow Scott your amazing, I love how you can explain things and it makes so much since.

[@simonbelmont5801]

Thank you, Scott!

[@lukesimcik9365]

Consistently coming out with the best tips that are relatable and easiest to understand! Thanks Scott!

[@jeremypriest4062]

Great vid man. So glad to see you out competing!

[@Wiensy90]

Great content, will be applying this. Appreciate you sharing your expertise!

[@brandon24816]

Dude you nailed it! Well done as usual and Thank You for your time, experience and caring.

[@michaelince7998]

Thanks, Scott!

[@kyleburns9439]

This makes a lot of sense. I was getting so frustrated because when I first started playing I had a decent enough forehand (probably because I was just using baseball dynamics out of instinct), but recently I've been burning like 50% of my forehands into the ground and my good ones haven't been flying as far (as I've probably slowly gotten away from those original mechanics). I will definitely be trying this tomorrow.

[@charlessteele1794]

Great video, good direction!

[@natebecker9976]

Super helpful videos, thanks!

[@BryceRogers_]

Amazing video, Scott! You did it again. Informative and comprehensive, no unnecessary fluff

[@rythm321]

Been steadily improving my forehand thanks to your advice Scott, you're great at explaining things step by step.

[@toddloftin6349]

Thank you! This was really helpful.

[@needsomekyle]

Thank you!! I cant wait to go try this.

[@ericwilhelm636]

Scott's a great guy and has a natural gift for both making things accessible and adding a next level of analysis to all his lessons. Really appreciate it!

[@rogerjones332]

Thank you, Scott Stokely👍

[@skylorswope5183]

This break down make a whole lot of sense to me. Look forward to trying this out tomorrow. Great job Scott!

[@timothyschreiber8338]

Thank you Scott! Looking forward to increasing my distance. Makes a lot of sense!

[@rexus72]

Thank you for sharing this!! One of the best sidearm explanations ever.

[@4242brvrdbd]

I’m excited to try… was also excited to see you throw it!

[@KungFuMunkeyz]

I’ve learned more in 3 videos than two years of playing. I don’t know why this never clicked in my head but thanks for the explanation. I routinely was throwing facing sideways and wound up serving the pizza to correct it. Now I’ve started to implement this and it just feels so much more natural

[@anthonyseng8715]

OMG this is my exact issue! Thank you so much!

[@fuffurfly]

Love your common sense approach… thanks so much for the help. Really great instruction.

[@redbeard9496]

This is good advice, and also short and to the point.... thanks Scott!

[@bobbysumthinorother1725]

Amazing video!! Can’t wait to get out there and try all this out 👍🏼

[@derekexplosion]

thank you for another great lesson!

[@jerrybaker1031]

Mr Stokely thank you for the helpful information.

[@littlebirdblue]

I love and appreciate your videos

[@sku7k740]

Just got to to his clinic is Akron and man I seen improvements putting literally 2 minutes afterwards. It was awesome to get to meet him and I recommend anyone to go to his clinics if given the chance. Everyone can learn something.

[@octabird_dg5375]

That’s so funny you have this out now. I totally realized on my own that I was doing better standing straight rather than sideways, and you just verbalized what my mind was trying to sort out! My side arm distance has been increasing too!

[@123juantwothree123]

Absolutely perfect tutorial sir!! You are a legend

[@dustinschneider935]

Thank you for this video! It explains a lot of my issues!

[@mitchellborne7428]

whaaaaattt...... thank you for this! Going to start practicing this now! You da man scott!

[@robertericks]

Absolute gold! Thanks!

[@marlcoore]

This has been going through my mind a lot lately, but couldn't put it into words! Thanks Mr. Stokely!!

[@tatotosi]

Thank you Scott!

[@bryansans2564]

You are my Disc Golf grounder.....when i feel off axis i just watch your vids.

[@xxbpxpeanutxxx162]

Amazing. You’re knowledge of the game is impeccable. Thank you so much for the help. Can’t wait to get In your class.

[@mikkolindstrom1797]

Awesome stuff. I have never seen anyone explain this so clearly.

[@ridethecatclone]

Thanks for this one, I think this will help me visualize what I'm doing. Will see tomorrow!

[@mfg8tor]

I've watched every side arm tutorial on youtube and this is by far and away the best one I've seen. Thank you! Hope to see you in Florida sometime!

[@markdakiv]

Fantastic video Scott. Brilliant break down. Looking forward to using this wisdom to improve my sidearm!

[@JohnnyD5]

Scott, let me say that you are awesome and one of the best ambassadors of the sport. Keep doing what you do! Thanks for the tips btw.

[@hupiukko968]

You Mr. Stokely are a gift. My game has improved so much when I found out your videos. And also, that skins match throw was a work of art. Much love from Finland Scott!

[@ChrisCro]

Scott with the best tutorials!

[@colbeyhailey5134]

Priceless lesson!

[@pdderek]

Good stuff. Gonna have to give that some attention next time im throwing. Thanks Scott!

[@prattacaster]

Scott nailed it. When I have a bad forehand shot it is from throwing across my body. Realizing this, I focus on my release point being off to the side and releasing earlier than expected. This earlier release point is actually where you have the most power. I was also doing a horrible job of following through with my trail leg, this was putting a lot of strain on my core.

[@bryanmathis5272]

Thank you so much Mr. Stokely! This has helped my side arm game a lot!

[@SylvainJVerrier]

Unreal coach. Thanks Scott, definitely trying this out today.

[@larrymorsemusic]

Just finished the Growing up Disc Golf audio book a couple weeks ago and now I'm throwing side arms in my game!! thanks Scott!!

[@nathanielbecker627]

I honestly have only been playing for a few months. But I feel like this video completely changes my view on the forehand. I can’t wait to get on the course and practice this.

[@sgtkbj]

True story!! Nicely explained, Scott!!

[@mrtony1985]

This video changed my forehand forever. Thank you

[@alwolschleger7242]

You're the reason I have a workable sidearm now, and I thank you for that! I've been trying to clean up my footwork some, and I thought I had started rolling my wrist. Definitely going to have to be mindful of my body's orientation when I throw!

[@lancelubin727]

GREAT video. Most helpful I've seen for sidearm

[@da_birdman6800]

Woah, I've watched so many videos teaching sidearm and nothing has made sense till you. Thank You.

[@SouthernRG]

Thank you Scott for your dedication to growing and teaching the game… hope to meet or play a round someday!!! 🔥🤙🏻

[@Lexoniss]

Yes what the heck! I have been trying to learn forhand and all the forhand youtube videos have been learning the throw with palms up! Palm must face up and so on and I have been injuring my self in the process also because I felt the throw was awkward to my shoulder and elbow joint. This makes so much more sense and now I must learn the forhand all over again! Thanks Stokely

[@mattzz10]

Such a good video for the sidearm throw!

[@aglassblowerscompanion]

This video is a game changer. Going to put this into practice first thing tomorrow. Thanks Scott for continuing to help us learn proper mechanics and improving our rounds of disc golf!!!

[@paytenholcombe272]

Your backhand video changed my life. Throwing longer and more accurately than ever. Can't wait to try this out with the forehand. Thank you for making and sharing these videos - you are a wonderful teacher!!

[@smithereens5210]

Only been playing for a few months. I love it, sad it took me until I was 43 to finally play. I’m a competitive person and want to see improvement, and this was simple enough and related to something else I understand. Thanks Scott!

[@troyparker9726]

Awesome lesson... thanks for contributing so much to helping others learn disc golf!

[@druegeme]

Hey Scott thank you so much. I habe been struggling with my forehand for years and this video gave me a serious breakthrough and the confidence to use the sidearm in the game. It is truly liberating to use the wrist in the way it naturally moves. Like skipping rocks on a lake!

[@Jason-Moon]

I tend to also throw to the left and over when I release late- usually when I'm trying to throw farther than I'm comfortable with. But the tip about facing forward is still great for correcting that issue. I wind-up farther back behind me to throw farther and I do think I can end up throwing across my body that way if I'm not careful to face forward on release.

[@alecreese2370]

You have changed my forehand game!! I have always been a good backhand player with a liability as a forehand. I made a conscious effort to practice what you teach every day for the past week. I’m now throwing further and much smoother stand still that any forehand I’ve ever thrown. I’ll be adding the run up soon.Thanks Scott!

[@jdezzy245]

great feedback Scott,

[@unsilenced_dissenter]

Excellent advice from a side arm master here. Thank you sir!

[@chancelebron3975]

I have been doing this but not sure how to put it into words, Ty Scott for teaching me another great tip!

[@Para31mtl]

Thank you very much Scott, your ball trick helped me resolve a great deal of issues of me not remembering and trying to put all the pieces of the puzzle on every throw. This simplifies things, and I just went to the field and I am very happy with the results. Cheers!

[@itsjustgarion]

This explains so much. Incredible explanation and instruction.

[@JIMWESTDG]

Following your advice with the backhand (your "How to throw flat backhands every time" video) I have fixed my nose up issue which has increased my accuracy, consistency, and distance. Now, I am going to work on this to help my sidearm. Love the videos Scott, you're doing a fantastic job 🤘💯

[@davereloader8837]

Thanks sensei Scott!

[@Marleystrummer]

Great advice thanks, would be super cool to see you down here in Aotearoa New Zealand 🤙🤘👍

[@chrisgreen7088]

Another great video Scott. Love watching you play, gives this 50yr old hope 😂

[@_Joy_Unleashed]

This is my sidearm eureka/epiphany moment. Best breakdown ever and I'm not at all surprised it's by you, Scott. *THANK YOU*

[@dyingfromthelying]

Thanks Scott. Hands down the best forehand video...EVER 👍😀

[@plantasyhojas]

Awesome advice! Having played baseball a majority of my life I can definitely relate to this approach and concept!
