wow that slow mo... Paige's form is absolutely fantastic!!

[@kevinmac2298]

Yea her disc throwing technique pretty great as well

[@professionalgiraffe]

I'm glad I watched this. Her description of a mid-distance shot with 60% of her weight on her back leg is what I realized I have been doing for my distance drives. It didn't click until I saw the slow-mo of her doing it at 1:10!

[@Yelbomsirhc1]

I think her form and that of all the top pros is pretty text book. I do listen to what they say and how they think of their shots, but I also just watch in slo-mo multiple times and look at their fundamentals. I think you have to walk before you can run, so I start out in field practice focusing on shorter, stand-still shots where I just shift my weight from back to front but don't do an X-step. Once the shorter stroke is working then I make it bigger and bigger until I'm at full power. It helps me to remember that Eagle McMahon can barely due 10 pushups and yet has some of the biggest distance of all time. So it's about timing and technique, not about strength. I do think that there are ways to do it where you have less chance of an injury to shoulder, elbow, or knee, though. And that's pretty important, especially for older dudes like me.

When I'm closer to 200' I just throw it as far as I can...and it gets me to about 200' lol

[@Channelisunderconstruction]

Preach

[@mmldiscgolf]

Same thing as hitting in baseball/softball. Remember when coach was yelling at you to keep your weight back? Try hitting a ball by "swaying" your hips and hitting off your front foot. No power is transferred. Hope this comparison helps someone else out there understand what Paige is demonstrating. I know I need to revisit this in my form too.

[@corruptedCROWN]

Took me forever to find a video what would explain this! I had a bad knee injury last year because I wasn't transferring my weight into my throw correctly and this shows step by step what I been wondering how to do. Thanks for this, love the videos guys!

[@Bestdiscgolfdiscs]

Great tip from a great pro!

[@alborowski2952]

Finally, a Paige Pierce video that is not dated 3 or 4 years ago. Thanks for giving me something new to work on in the field. Can't wait to see your "in the bag".

[@Thebrianweissman]

Hehe, this video is now over 3 years old. Time for her to post another one!

[@BlewJ]

I started playing about a year ago. Videos like this have been my bread and butter. I still have an inconsistent form so I revisit them often. Thanks, Paige.

[@michaelb.1860]

Really good advice focused on one specific thing and not a 12 min vid over explaining...awesome thx!!

[@bluetickbeagles116]

I just got I to disc golf a few months ago and absolutely love how technical this sport is to execute. It reminds me of my old college javelin days...super extreme techniques.

[@leavethecaveenterthelight5221]

I friggen love her. Shes a blast to watch play and crush the competition plus she has such an awesome personality which keeps things lite yet competitive

[@amarurecor]

Short and universal. Paige is the best!

[@joshwhite8543]

Learned a few things, thanks! Keep these great videos coming, we love DD!

[@jamesschweninger3936]

I've heard Dave Feldberg say 80% on your back leg in the swing for a full golf drive. Or maybe it was Tiger? Either way Paige gave some great advice! TY : ) All us Ams are doing something wrong. lol .

[@accura2002]

If I'm like 300 feet out, I'll definitely have to put 100% on to my left foot lol

[@ericfleet9602]

If I'm 300 feet out, I have to walk forward 100 feet and then throw my hardest.

[@jameybobamey7343]

I put 20 percent onto my right foot and 130 percent on my left foot. Then I hear a popping sound in my shoulder and go get an MRI

[@FunkytownDG]

Tried this the other day after listening to the DGAM Episode, definitely need to practice this as it felt unorthodox to me. If I gained 40 ft thou that would be amazing since I been stuck at 350

[@matt_glista]

FunkytownDG I, too, tried this immediately after she mentioned it on DGAM. Started birdieing holes I hadn't previously reached! Simple & brilliant tip.

[@tammyrogne1471]

U make it sound so easy but I know it takes lots and lots of field work! Great video!👍

[@dylandog1289]

Thank god. A great instructional video that isnt 20 minutes long for no reason.

[@bruceleibee6268]

I love it when they say stuff like, "when you're closer, like 200 ft." I would to be able to throw 200 ft.

[@rogerjones332]

Her capabilities are amazing

[@bangsdagong]

i see the load up, and the post up and turn thru.. thanks!!!

[@jsimo1431]

paige gives such useful advice

[@marcuss7495]

So many similarities to a baseball swing

[@EDECO79]

Nice form. No wonder she crushes it. Proof it isn't really muscle, but form that matters.

[@azonyk2]

Awesome advidce Paige

[@dustinwconrad]

Paige you need to do a full on break down of ALL the components of how you drive. you seem to have it figured out.

[@tonyrae86]

WHEN YOU'RE THROWING A JUDGE FROM 200 FT..... Oh my goodness.

[@AndrewWhiteKhanty]

Paige, I didn't want 40 extra. I want 150 feet extra. lol. Any tips on reaching the 500-foot barrier?

[@nebbaseball2663]

Paige is bae😍😍

[@ridgehall1612]

Her knee looks like it's about to explode but thanks I'll do that some more

[@Debbie338]

Yeah, that's a LOT of torque on that knee. Not sure mine can take that, after 2 ACL repairs. LOL.

[@Thebrianweissman]

Paige throws like a maniac, but this advice makes absolutely no sense. It's basically impossible to do a correct X-step without having 100% of your body weight on your back foot, since your plant foot is off the ground the entire time you're moving it forward prior to bracing. If someone knows how you can have your weight on your plant foot without it touching the ground, I'm all ears.

[@phalle32]

I think what this means is that your body weight is moving forward, so if you just tap the ground with your back foot in the x-step versus really pushing of it is what makes the difference.

[@EDECO79]

She means loading up the weight versus just walking into the x step

[@bigmaristuff]

@@EDECO79 You are 100% correct.

[@colin7406]

If a person stands on 1 leg then starts to jump, as they jump the weight/load is reduced from that 1 leg

[@RubenRMunoz]

good advice Paige! love you in Lake Havasu sweetie

[@chaldokid501]

Okay, I may not be able to throw as far as she does, but 1:15 is a horrible example of follow through. She never pivots on her front heel so he knee must be under a tremendous amount of strain.

[@lollerskatez1]

It's just a small touchy upshot from a standstill. That shot was almost only arm movement and a bit shoulder so the strain on her knee should be little to none.

[@taserthis1984]

The 2 thumbs down must be guys that got their ass kicked by her at a tournament. Lmao!!!

[@TheLuklear]

Page looks like Ricky if he had a sex change
