Playing a FOREHAND ONLY Round with

How far do you throw on forehand?? Oh wait...you don't seem to have a forehand? This is a conversation I have with lots of players looking to improve their game, and I find most haven't spent alot of time trying to develop this skill. Today I brought in the Foundation team to play a forehand only challenge (putting included) to see if we could learn anything while we are out here on the course. Necessity is the mother of invention, and today we HAVE to know how to throw a forehand because it's all we got!!

“When you suck you throw really over-stable discs so you don’t have to get better.” Such words never resonated so gracefully.

[@TheB33rgut]

90% of my throws are forehand so this is really fun to watch.

[@bp5009]

Thumbs up on the funny opening

[@joshuamoore3065]

Konner: "SPLIT GRIIIIIP" Also Konner: *Uses stacked grip* (8:25) XD

[@BillFromAZ]

Konnor...that "I only have two hands" was funny. I might have to swipe that from you and use it sometime.

[@Ahjinasde24]

Watching these guys that are clearly better at the game than me throwing considerable worst forehands than me is a big confidence boost 😅

[@pinhighdiscdyes]

6:42 put those damn CAKES away Trevor Staub this is a family friendly channel!!!

[@Nayrkill]

Loving the Happy With Par tshirt!

[@elisabethe8055]

I am a bad person.. I just laugh my teeth out when throws goes horribly wrong.. It is so entertaining. Playing with friends it is the most fun part of the course (need to say i am throwing those bad shots myself, failing horribly) but we have so much fun. Those slips and falls on the tee is so entertaining but i have to ask, am i alone thinking this is hilarious fun? Love this game, and i want to thank you for all your fails, it made my day. I must say though, you did really good, i cant throw a forehand longer than possibly 5 feet.. I am a one one the scale of ten.. Thank you for sharing, you guys are awesome!

[@ohmgstav]

Best thing I ever did to improve my forehand was to just not use it for longer throws. Instead opting to first only use it for shorter approaches with a glitch untill I could throw it smoothly enough to go straight and then gently fade and full on hyzers that never flipped out of it. With that foundation gradually increasing the distances I'd throw, sometimes discing up to a Proxy. When I became confident with the Proxy, again trying a bit further up to a Hex. And now I'm at a Crave, and I throw that thing up to 80m now, something I'd only be able to do with a distance driver before. Best thing too is I've not had any pain in my arm at all since doing this, but often before if I tried to bite off more than I could chew I'd often get pain in my bicep and then have to take a break for a few weeks from throwing forehands, and usually also resulting in a loss of distance in my backhand.

[@loukerst9091]

this. I’ve long said that if you don’t have a spinny and controlled upshot forehand then you’ll never have a distance forehand. I’ve had to learn to stop idolizing Anthony Barela or Jeremy Koling’s forehand, but rather to model myself after a Gregg Barsby, Simon Lizotte, or new Eagle McMahon forehand where it’s just really simple, super spinny, and only goes about 350’.

[@dravyntrejo890]

This was a fun video to watch!

[@chrisbruchak4519]

Pitch black is goated, Robbie.

[@TylerLaFleur13]

The very first Robbie C video I saw he said “how are you Tyler” or something like that and I’ve been watching since.

[@MIAMIHOCKEY14]

Robbie, you say the problem with the Zone is that it slips out early…after this video I’m thinking that might just be all round flying objects 😂

[@joeloreilly2953]

Trevor discovered a new putting styleeeeeeeee

[@tylerking7890]

"I only have two hands!" Konner frickin' at it again. 🤣🤣🤣

[@MagLovin88]

Im fine thanks for asking Trev.

[@hoerauf056]

I’ve found myself laughing out loud several times throughout this video 😂 thank you gentlemen!

[@musicman2712]

Seeing so many Zone OS shots made me happy. That's become one of my favorite discs in my bag. I could get down with a Zone OS only round.

[@qstar710]

That course looks so fun

[@BROWNSTONEBEAR-1983]

Throw one of those Chandler Kramers in for me, boys! Ace Forehanderson!

[@monkeyearcheese420]

Trevor out there trying to brake baskets

[@allenhuffman3380]

Have call Konner out like Brodie called Hunter. Konner says split grip but then put his fingers together. Lol

[@jayace142]

Trevor calling himself Ricky wysocki is my villain backstory

[@davismorehead2494]

Loved the forehand put. Please do it again

[@butterdiscgolf]

I feel like someone should make a spreadsheet of all of the names that Robbie and his guests have started the videos with so we can find the video with our name in it.

[@natemaas1982]

As a Nate, I know he’s said Nathan twice.

[@a.b5119]

Shall we do a comment spreadsheet? Adam once.

[@TheButlerNZ]

Somehow the chances of "the Butler' being mentioned is slim to none... Maybe I'll go with my channel mascot "Bob".

[@triplespace007]

That split grip was so gapped the throw had no split. Hahaha

[@jakefarmsteak]

As a forehand guy, with little to no backhand, this was a very fun video lol

[@TheB33rgut]

Same and it makes me feel better about my forehand at the same time.

[@christopherbrown222]

I just switched from forehanding a Rive 13/5/0/3 to a Vanish 11/5/-3/2 to get better at hyzer flip FHs. I’ve already gotten better at the finesse and as I add more power on hyzer it’s starting to go further than my Rive.

[@jrodeck]

Robbie i agree Baja Blast should have won!

[@bryanfellenbaum9250]

That Dylan Ceese story is gold. He seems like a cool guy.

[@Chaser90EK]

Play "Sorry!" for every 3 holes played you get 1 Sorry! After a player throws and the shot comes to rest you have 5 seconds to say "Sorry!" which negates their shot and makes them throw again with a different disc. One fun caveat is when playing with 3 or more people, if two people say, "Sorry!" they both lose one of theirs, so there's decision-making on when you want to use it.

[@BillFromAZ]

Robbie, I agree...the Zinger aka Ring Zone is the best....but most likely the Zanger aka Bang Zone will win.

[@s.d.3236]

"throw a really overstable disc, so you dont have to get better" Thats my forehand game in a nutshell. I cant forehand too hard without the back of my shoulder hurting anyway.

[@FuckGoogle2]

Forehand all the way baby but putting forehand, c'mon now that's just silly! Also shorts and t-shirts in the fall, WTH`!?

[@michaelcushman]

To improve my forehand, i played every round all forehand vs all backhand until my FH score = my BH score. Closing the gap, turning it into a competition with myself became fun. If you are serious about having both capabilities, give it a try, keep score, close the gap!

[@french1991toast]

Awe cmon robbie pitch black is in my top 3 dew flavors. And I'm team bang zone! For the meme value of course

[@Brother2Be]

Robbie, PLEASE tell me you got one of the Champ Gummy Pigs! I know this was a dream of yours!

[@simpsonmbm]

I'd love to see a 3 man round where instead of best disc or worst disc, you play middle disc.... call it Goldie Locks :)

[@Reggiewade04]

This is actually a really good idea for a vid. Could even do a series of the three, best, goldie, and worst at the same course to see the difference in scoring

[@ethanweaver1]

The day I will take pics out of the bag is if the ringer zone wins and they release it in Z FLX in pink. Until then I’m sticking with pigs and hopefully halo pigs soon 🤞

[@themando2700]

I throw a solid 380-400ft forehand and only about 300ft backhand also I started playing disc golf last year in late August but have thrown a ultimate frisbee for years yet I can’t forehand those 🤷‍♂️

[@seansimpson8758]

Just started playing at the end of summer, and my forehand beats my backhand by about 3 to 4 strokes. 😅

[@jamesp57867]

If i ever get back into the competitions, i need to develop a forehand.

[@everettcorder5977]

I want them to bring back Mountain Dew White Out personally.

[@markd1199]

Sup Trevor

[@JDubDiscGolf]

Does the Birdie at the end not change?

[@cspunisher5774]

Robbie, you need to get ABB & Jason out with you on a video when you're at Foundation. Maybe a Trio vs. Trio, you 3 against Konner & the Bogey Bros....

[@JeffNelsonBuffalo]

One backhand only one forehand only doubles match. Skill eq for each throw type

[@BillFromAZ]

A bit late for you all, but when you do forehand putts, try a one finger grip.

[@stevecinnibarhoffman]

One of these days someone's gonna explain the Marcus thing to me.

[@coosa7580]

robert when are you gonna bring the foundation boys to birmingham to play the GW

[@richierich2373]

C'mon man, Boo- Boo followed up with bangzone ?

[@jonathanbrennan937]

People say if they would have shot better if they just jump putted around the course. You should play a course that isn't a pitch and putt course and see if that is true

[@itisjustmedude]

There is always another tree.

[@BillFromAZ]

Well, I couldn't see all the throws, but I counted the ones I saw or heard hit trees along with the ones I didn't see or hear, but the guys said hit a tree.....22 trees hit on this round.

[@wickedrs_716]

Konner lost the bottom half of his shorts on that fall.

[@superblitz]

Reset the injury counter.

[@Completelycory]

Somehow it looks like all three of you have more power from 20 feet than from off the tee 😂

[@JasonIBasri]

Given the lack of good form among amateurs this is some hazardous advice to tell us to play a forehand only round

[@achilleonv]

How do you guys have absolutely no touch with a fore hand?

[@kevinwelsh8060]

Stand still only round. No run up what do ever and no jump putts

[@kenricdrummer]

More like "KKusa" amiright?

[@FranciscoPerez-et5cg]

Not an expert here but you’re shoulders looked off to me; maybe your shoulders caused you to early release most of your shots Robbie.🤷‍♂️

[@gosteve1]

that course is NOT chill
