Max Motion Sequence [Drill...ish]

[@OverthrowDiscGolf]

One thing I didn't show so well in the video is that the left hand will actually start to move down with the weight shift. My apologies. Also, most people probably won't get their lead leg quite as far back as I do and that is 100% OK! Check out our Drew + Simon Side by Slow Motions to see how they differ there. I'm showing a bit closer to how Drew does it over how Simon loads. That video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIu8dpiKl9KEsLs

[@smp1396]

I've been having a hard time wrapping my head around the left arm thing. I've been practicing for a bit with it, and it feels like I'm just supposed to be using the left arm (the whole left side?) to add more weight into the brace. I'm really hoping I'm on the right track, it does seem to add some easy distance when I get the timing right.

[@OverthrowDiscGolf]

@@smp1396 Yeah, we need to make another video on it here soon.

[@eetujokinen2806]

Thanks! Also, the brace leg is a confusing thing as well - if possible, would like a more elaborate video on that and does it push upwards?

[@OverthrowDiscGolf]

@@eetujokinen2806 will be doing though we recently did the hula video that encompassed a bunch of that

Thanks! I've gone all in on Max Motion Seq. Answered many questions

[@Ryanrules23]

Holy crap the way you broke this down...I think I've had a breakthrough. I had been trying to figure out how to shift my weight to my front leg and initiate the hips/core for months now without getting all of that weight over that front foot. I can't wait to get off work and do a field session.

[@alexanderrose9965]

Dear, I am 100% convinced that there is no better tutorial content for beginners than anything you provide. I have learned so much from you. Many thanks from Vienna.

[@JohnDubU]

A perfect activity for this rainy day. Smash and saved to my watchlist.

[@steveackerman5066]

I always forget to weight shift first. I 100% do the rotation you said not to do in this video. I’ll hit the field and work on that as well as incorporating my left arm with my weight shift. Thanks Coach!

[@jplee943]

I have no clue why but mental tricks like the right shoulder to left hip thought completely allows me to fix my issues. I’ve always been a mental trick guy even throughout my life with baseball. I don’t know why but somehow its so difficult to fix my form and then as soon as I get a mental fix like this one it all becomes so incredibly easy. No idea why but if you have a drill or mental fix for every error in the disc golf swing please please please make a video on that. For whatever reason my body just won’t understand until it has an alternative way to imagine the different parts of the shot. Thank you for y’alls amazing content. You guys rock.

[@DiscDrip]

This is a REALLY great video on the weight shift, and how it feels to get into it. For real, probably the best way I've seen it articulated!

[@robinmclean8779]

YES! Max distance techniques ARE compatible with a simple 3 step/X step control drive. YES! Get off the couch and get a coach. Talented Teachers over Feature Card Fantasies. Thanks Overthrow.

Your content is getting SO dialed! Great stuff 👏 guys!

[@Rohaihu13]

Hi Josh, this is a great breakdown! I have found it so helpful to start putting things together. I have a question about how you describe the weight shift from back to front foot starting around 2:48. You instruct to reach full backswing and then to shift weight onto the front foot. I have previously been shifting weight forward while I simultaneously reach back. Is the way you describe it (one after the other rather than simultaneous) how the sequence will go in a fully formed backhand? Or have you just separated those two pieces as a training tool for the purposes of the video? Thanks so much!

[@OverthrowDiscGolf]

Just as a training tool. It all happens super quickly

[@Rohaihu13]

@@OverthrowDiscGolf awesome, thanks so much for the quick reply!

[@vattten]

for anyone thinking of stretching to increase mobility. ALWAYS dynamic stretches before and static stretches after practice (atleast for muscle groups you will be using)

[@OverthrowDiscGolf]

Yessss

[@vattten]

@@OverthrowDiscGolf this is one of the things that helped me the most coming from a TAF background :) (and hip mobility hehe)

[@OverthrowDiscGolf]

@@vattten I used to preach this as a tennis coach. But on the internet I am a bit more cautious with my platform

[@TheQuicksilver115]

Also, do some research on "dynamic stretching" because if you haven't yet you're probably actually thinking of "ballistic stretching" which is not the best way to warm up. You want to focus on gently moving through your range of motion with control rather than throwing your limbs to the edge of their flexibility.

[@Corrigan65_]

Mikey sneezed at 3 min 8 sec because he knows how hard it is to not pivot before smashing the heel down. I got it Mikey. I appreciate the cue

[@echoli2859]

Another good one Josh! Thank you!

[@SmarteeSteve]

This video is a gem

[@smileyboy2700]

This vid made me realize I don't do weight shift correctly, like not using my hips correctly and weight on heel. No wonder I'm stuck at 413 ft, I happened to get 450 ft once but I haven't been able to do it again so far. I guess I've been throwing disc via brute force and mainly upper body speed. This video is telling me to start learning to use lower body to make my life easier with distance shots.

[@xEricStephensx]

Great video as always!

[@OverthrowDiscGolf]

Thanks Eric

[@mikey7095]

So when you coil are you supposed to try and keep the shoulders more level or tilt the right shoulder down/left shoulder up

[@OverthrowDiscGolf]

Tilt

[@Bohvey]

I would love to get some coaching for my son and I but sadly, there's no one in our area that offers it. I love your videos, they've helped me a lot since I started playing last year.

[@Sethyfisher]

another great video, heckin right

[@happyboyeeeee]

I’m not sure if you’ll see this as the video has been out for awhile. What do you mean by throw outward?

[@OverthrowDiscGolf]

Your arm needs to extend out away from your body.

[@ciromassa7322]

I really love this drill! One of the best for getting the feel of backhand form. So, I have a unique offarm move. I bring my hand to my inner thigh and then I push off of my thigh. But my arm stays on my thigh even through the follow thru. IS THAT OK? I ask because I see so many people end up with that cool pose. My just kinda.stays on.my thigh thru the entire follow thru.

[@OverthrowDiscGolf]

It is probably okay? But I would need to look at it

[@NickCarroll]

@@OverthrowDiscGolf Jakub Semerád (of recent European Open and PCS Sula tournaments) does something similar. He keeps his left hand down by his side, but he still seems to bring his left shoulder in to help him with the swing.

[@stevenstocz1636]

For a video like this it'd be awesome if you had a second video that had the steps going in a loop to watch and/or listen to while practicing it.

[@jonrussell739]

I struggle with activating the lower body more I think. I've released the disc and my front foot hasn't even began rotating. It is frustrating because I can't "convince" my lower body to do its part during the throw.

Have you don’t the Hula already?

Are we trying to keep lead hop pumped throughout the entire xstep?

Will keeping the right hip up (RHBH) during the xstep help with rotating early and prevent early reach back? I’ve been struggling with early reach back lately, and I’m looking to join the Advanced Patreon here in a few days to do 30 minute lessons monthly.

[@polecat3067]

Do you think its possible to coil the upper body too much? I have really good flexibility and can coil my shoulders really far back, but I think its throwing me off balance. I notice that the pros seem to only go slightly past 90⁰

[@OverthrowDiscGolf]

It’s possible for sure. Just uncommon. They coil about 180 degrees of.

[@makkanjaog6985]

I feel like I can't get my front foot to turn on my heel in the last step. Its planted to hard on the pad. Especially when i try to mimic the wheight shift like in this video. Any tips what i could try?

[@OverthrowDiscGolf]

The lead hip moving upwards post weight shift causes the weight to go more towards your heel

[@tonyriedel4421]

If you watch any pros slow motion of their form none of them plant heel down like in this video. It is way more lateral and they don't twist their feet back to the same extent. Also a lot of the foot turn comes from the momentum of the throw

[@OverthrowDiscGolf]

@@tonyriedel4421 Drew plants like this

[@catchingcabbage5056]

I definitely point my front foot outward in my footage I've gathered. If only there was some way of getting the ideal run up put down on the ground like learning some dance moves. It wouldn't be universal since everybody's body is different. But it would be nice to see it physically on the ground. Maybe draw a chalk outline on a teepad?
