Types of Field Work to Improve your Disc Golf

[@OverthrowDiscGolf]

Mikey was supposed to edit out my bad throws...

[@redwhiteguitar51]

Your off the cuff line about Paul McBeth being a baseball player made me realize I need to think of the drive like a baseball swing I have done my whole life! Thanks for all the videos!

[@joshwiesenauer426]

This is definitely in the top 20 of videos you guys have put out!! But seriously great content. You break things down to a very simple level making it easy to execute and improve our game. Thanks for what you guys are doing.

[@OverthrowDiscGolf]

I think all our videos are in our top 20 lol. Thanks Josh. You da man

[@garyf5053]

Hey y'all, have you considered doing a video on how to practice with a net? I feel like more and more people are getting them, and I'd love your take on the best way to make progress using one. Thanks!

[@OverthrowDiscGolf]

Great suggestion!

[@Ladramar]

I love the "Practice makes permanent" line, I felt that! I need to really hammer out some field work...biggest challenge is finding an unoccupied field LOL

[@OverthrowDiscGolf]

Yeah, we're fortunate to have a nice field close by.

[@JacobHastings]

I usually go to the local middle school around 6 pm and use their track/soccer/football field

[@patrickflanigan951]

Love watching super smooth throwing.

[@nakilad37]

Dont think weve really seen you throw like this before, love it! super sweet backhand and that forehand too, such a snap and so smooth! time to head back to the field....

[@OverthrowDiscGolf]

Yeah... I've avoided throwing backhand on the channel because I don't like looking at it. Comments like yours help immensely though. I appreciate you taking the time to write something nice.

[@nakilad37]

@@OverthrowDiscGolf all good man, love your work. It's the first time I've seen Drew Gibson properly throw last weekend (I'm pretty new to the game) yiu have lots of similarities and something I'm starting to model off.

[@ghidalgo5223]

Great video!! "Practice makes permanent". I love this phrase! Been playing discgolf for 22 yrs and I've always liked to say..... "Progress not perfection". I like your statement better. Thanks for the content!

[@OverthrowDiscGolf]

Thank you. I like your statement equally

[@johnhugunin8239]

Watching where your head is when you throw just helped me today with my round. I found that I’ve been trying to sneak a peek too early, and this video helped majorly. That was my “one thing” for today, so thanks for that!

[@OverthrowDiscGolf]

Ironically this is what I worked on during my field work after watching myself on this video. Lol. Sometimes I take my head back too far to where it’s looking behind me.

[@TheMathesonmike]

Good job, appreciate the tips!

[@sustainablelove.]

V. cool and helpful as always. Thnx, McFly...

[@nathanjoffe9651]

Thanks for the great video. Using discs on the ground to mimic gaps in concert with the target downfield is such a simple, brilliant idea. It can be difficult for me to translate my fieldwork to the tight woods courses that I play.

[@OverthrowDiscGolf]

Mmmmm. I feel ya. I've had to learn how to do it here in VA. Especially when Paul decides to build the hardest course known to man.

[@nathanjoffe9651]

@@OverthrowDiscGolf From what I've seen, +50 would be a good score for me on that one. Looks like a truly great track though.

[@drewg3087]

Same, I’m trying to train myself to slow down and do standstills and make it as effortless as possible instead of trying to kill the disc when I throw it.

[@micdavey]

This was great! Do you have a rec for apps to review video on a mac rather than just on the phone? Trying to see what good tools are out there that I don't know about. Thanks!

[@OverthrowDiscGolf]

I don’t. There’s something named kinova or something like that. Not sure what it is called

[@LearyTheCablGiDiscGolf]

I made a makeshift baseball net with old bed sheets and a steel bar that i wedge between trees in my backyard, works like a charm. My footwork is horrible, but my upper body is pretty solid.

[@OverthrowDiscGolf]

Nice. I’ve seen some pretty cool makeshift setups

[@peedrowchan-man102]

This is Excellent, nuff said

[@johnshepherd6925]

Bro...your videos are so helpful. Tyvm

[@OverthrowDiscGolf]

Happy to help

[@jonahhanson7069]

You said in the learning your discs portion to throw the disc where you’d normally throw that from, how do you know that before you learn your discs? Are there like kind of base guidelines that everyone is more or less close to in terms of when you throw what

[@OverthrowDiscGolf]

Good question. In the beginning you’re going to have to eyeball it. From there you can get really scientific and measure your avg distance with each disc or just develop your eye for gauging distances.

[@rext0r670]

What is this "one thing at a time"? I can focus on it for one throw, then some sort of ADHD sets of in my brain and i start focusing on everything else :D

[@OverthrowDiscGolf]

Why must we be this way?

[@tieegg]

If it helps, you can think about other things and put them on a checklist. Work one one thing, look at how they affect other things. Oh hey I did this with my feet and it made my upper body do something crazy. Oh hey I adjusted it this way, now it feels good in the rest of the body, stuff like that. Also I find if I'm thinking too much, I'll do practice throws, not releasing the disc. I'll even literally shake it off to loosen myself up. These things work for me clearing my head, try to find what helps you do the same.

[@FuckGoogle2]

@@tieegg I thought practise shots without the release was overkill, then I found myself slipping on quite a few teepads, doing this on that practise shot and being able to correct the "run-up" can save you a lot of roughtime.

[@shannonjenkins2095]

Awesome video!!

[@jakemaster4449]

Can you make a video talking about passive arm? It's hard for me to understand cause I feel like I can't have a solid grip with a loose arm.

[@harrisc2093]

Great advice and drills. Thanks 🙏

[@OverthrowDiscGolf]

No, thank you 🙏

[@torymblue2000]

just starting out and I hear about the pop coming from the disc leaving the hand, but I don't hear it really this well in other videos. Is that just the reaction to good speed, or is it form? def hear a good pop with each throw, even your standing putter throws. cool.. Oh could be mic placement!

[@OverthrowDiscGolf]

Yep probably a bit more pronounced due to mic placement.

[@larrywebster3146]

Thank you, I haven’t competed in a tournament in a while maybe two years, but I want to compete in the Dynamic Disc open this year, and it’s about a month and a half out, so I wanna get ready for it, I don’t like going to tournaments just to play, I want to go to finish in the top if not win it! I think this routine will help me get back on point.

[@vandalayenterprises1167]

Another great video! My forehand (right handed) aim is always on a line left of my target. My front foot is pointed to the target but the line of the throw is always more left than I want. Is that likely that I’m releasing it too late?

[@OverthrowDiscGolf]

That could be a few things so I’m not sure. Could be your hips not rotating back enough, foot too open, path of your upper body, etc. I’d have to see it.

[@rossdelrio246]

[@OverthrowDiscGolf]

Thanks Ross.

[@echoli2859]

Wow, it feels so effortless for such a great distance. Amazing. I’m trying to rip all the time, maybe that’s why I can’t throw far.

Hey man.... So I am curious as to how you get a *snap* on even short shots. Is it you just have the hips engaged or what?

Snap happens as a result of spin. If you don’t have it I would focus on getting that disc spinning
