If you think my videos help your game, please share to your social media. It’s the best way for me to get more subscribers:-)

[@sarge7662]

would have loved to see you throw it!~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ronjones-6977]

I'm almost 59. Scott. I don't have the Twit-Tok and other crap. THIS is about as social as I get. I guess you better win ALL the money at the skins match.

[@Meta-Drew]

5:38 IDK what you are talking about not looking good throwing it, that was one of the coolest looking shots I've seen in a while

[@Stickmayne]

+1. So dang clean!

[@fisherguy45]

Very very interesting, your explanations make so much sense and are so clear. You are a master of instruction.

[@Chris.Davies]

100% pure, concentrated Stokely.

[@discgolfillustrated2640]

I recently thought that you had reached the pinnacle in teaching methods…this video demonstrates why the disc golf world considers you as one of the best teachers in the game. Thank you again ps I’ve committed to studying your videos and hope to be in a position to start teaching beginners classes in the Portland Oregon area this spring. My PDGA # is 4030 and have been playing since 1978, but I can see I still have much to learn from a guru such as yourself👍🏼

[@ccskiandrun]

Best shot to master and blow people away with on the course. Great coaching!

[@rexus72]

Thank you for sharing this. The best explanation of the Spike Hyzer I have seen.

[@marcuspowell2510]

I’ve been wanting a Harp, now I’ve got a good reason to get one.

[@dineshanblazahan9843]

Harp is best disc for approach… once u throw it it’s almost impossible to get out of ur bag

[@pimpjoe69]

Fair warning, you may find yourself getting a lot of them. I have 7 currently, and now I find myself needing to get a Scott Stokely series Harp too. The Harp is my favorite disc of all time! I've never had another disc immediately shave strokes off of my score like the Harp has.

[@RegularSalesmanXbox]

I bag exclusively prodigy...except for a really beat in harp and a mamba a friend gave me. The mamba is sentimental, the harp is too good.

[@teraslaakso2144]

harp is great

[@entropie]

Your videos consistently show me something new. Thanks for sharing your wealth of information.

[@jacobmoline]

Spike hyzer is one of my favorite shots! It’s so useful!

[@lokinakor1]

BRILLIANT! This is also a secret way to test yourself to see if you are not getting off your back leg soon enough. I struggle with this, where it traps some power by not letting all the weight shift onto the front foot. I was sure it was a timing issue, but I couldn't pin down the cause. I think practicing this move will help me iron out my timing issue.

[@oscarmike4888]

Legend has it that the harp is still in orbit to this day

[@DavidRodriguez-rr7rh]

Yo, thanks Scott!

[@Stickmayne]

Well I know what I'm trying in the field this week! This is great

[@austincooper735]

kevin jones round 1 hole 3 of 2021 LVC. great example of the back leg being used as a counter weight for a shot with some insane hyzer

[@witness7805]

I don’t that first spike hyzer ever came down

[@mattp4007]

I am a fitness coach for disc golfers. To parlay off of Mr. Stokley’s advice. Folks, do some research on how to perform the exercise called (single leg Romanian dead lift). Start with body weight until you are able to perform the exercise with complete core stability then progress to dumbbells. Every single DG’er I work with executes this exercise every single session. Your game will improve. Your welcome

[@robertcasko281]

I now know that I've never thrown a proper spike hyzer.... But, noodle-arm that I am, I've always just picked an overstable driver and put it up high and gotten nearly the same result as the up and down. I've never needed to throw it straight up and down like that, as my underpowered throws make high speed discs do that anyway...haha.

[@rubylong8897]

Sweet! Spike hyzers are definitely something I need to work on. Love how simple & concise you break shot executions down. On another note, I wanted to ask you if I could caddy for you at the OTB Open? I’m sure you don’t need a caddy with your cart & all but it would be awesome to meet you & watch you play in person. I live in Sacramento & know Danny & the crew!

[@MeantForNothing]

great video!!

[@mattfuller7663]

Ah....so that's how you do it. Can't wait to see the look on my buddies faces when I pull this move out.

[@dineshanblazahan9843]

Scott can’t wait to get ur series harp .. wat kind of plastic it will be ?

@@ScottStokelyDG yessss!!!

[@Avian-Attorney]

Love the vid. KJ is unquestionably incredible at the spike hyzer, but I'd give it to Simon as the best for this.

[@charley420]

I think he was more complimenting KJ as the best grenade in the game. I'd have to agree, but Simon is absolutely a king of spike hyzers.

[@Avian-Attorney]

@@charley420 Oh certainly, KJ's grenades are second to none. Him and Simon are both some of my favorite players

[@Sethunruh4303]

Two things, I have seen pros throw spike hyzer like this. Hole 1 at Waco is a spike hyzer. I have thrown spike hyzer before with moving my back leg like that. I was using ten speed driver, also nobody could see where the disc landed

[@juanpcjr1]

What stability is the disk to use so to achieve a spike hyzer?

[@ScottStokelyDG]

The more overstable, the better. The over stability compensates for the lack of angle steepness.

[@user-SuaveJ]

Thank you 🙂

[@taylorosgood2848]

The BEST

[@MrSparge]

Stupid question... In the case of the shot you have here - over the gazebo. Why not just a big hyzer? I'm not sure I understand the spike-hyzer advantage over hyzer. Maybe I'm getting it as I type and it has to do with the landing? A thumber/tomahawk would hit the ground and stop. A big hyzer would likely skip hard-left (I think that's my answer). So, the spike-hyzer basically replaces a tomahawk maybe? Just wondering :)

[@seanmorris]

Thumbers and tomahawks pan right/left form their apogee though? Grenades straight down or right if US, Spike hyzer slightly left. As to why a spike over a big hyzer maybe the height required to clear an object or if the right side of the approach is blocked (and as you say avoiding the skip)

[@ScottStokelyDG]

I'm only demonstrating the Spike Hyzer not saying that would be the correct shot for this circumstance. The Spike Hyzer is simply a hyzer where there is no room for the swing to go toward the right so you need the angle to be more up and down.

[@gogopossum]

I have a hard time throwing spike buzzers forehand. This makes sense I I think will help FH as well. Any input?

[@ScottStokelyDG]

Let me how it works out

[@ssicari]

the harp was the first OS approach disc I really fell in love with. after a year or so, I knocked it out of the bag because it felt too deep for me. Looks like I may have to give it another try though :P thanks for the video, the back leg move makes so much sense

[@collinqs2541]

It’s just too deep for that type of disc. Doesn’t feel good In a forehand for me. I use an Infinite Discs Ruin for that type of shot and I love it it’s super thin.

[@ssicari]

@@collinqs2541 honestly, I love forehanding the harp, the backhand grip on a disc that deep is what felt off for me. I've been using the Discmania Tactic for a few months, I like how it feels in the hand, but it's more neutral than I want... I wouldn't trust it into a headwind, maybe I'll give the Ruin a shot!

[@charley420]

If this thing comes out in BT Soft, y'all best watch out. I will have one, and my game won't get any better. But I'll have a cool disc.

[@darinladd5312]

Silly question, but WHERE did both of those throws go? As far as I can tell, they never came down...?

[@ScottStokelyDG]

Right by the basket on the far side of the pavilion both times

[@raymillerTU]

I see a faceplant in my future.

[@darinladd5312]

Faceplant followed by facepalm.

UP THE GUT Tee shirt !!! We played there !!!!

[@1andonlyMiro]

I'm going to let you guys on a little secret. If there is a hole where you don't want to go early left, nor do you want to go late right on a straight tunnel, you can actually throw a grenade. Grab the flippiest disc you can find, it needs to be so understable it almost turns when you PUTT with it. My go to was a BEATEN dx Sidewinder until I lost it. The throw is upside down, as hard as you can, LOW. It'll flip over and start gliding straight as an arrow. You COULD throw a hyzerflip BUT this is really fun. 😂

[@theemonegro]

I wish dynamic didn't pull a bs move with the unsigned ricky disc. Otherwise I'd much rather have an unsigned stokely harp than this unsigned ricky harp. In fact I'd rather have an unsigned stokely harp than a signed ricky harp.

[@1andonlyMiro]

Holyyyy sh*t did this make a difference in throwing a hyzer. Now I just need to adjust between a really steep hyzer and an absolute spike hyzer. I got so much accuract to my hyzers from this AND added SO MUCH POWER onto them with this. Might have something to do with my physique/flexibility, but I will experiment doing this with just hyzers as well. Also this can be a result of throwing in the winter, footwork is heavily affected by snow/ice/pretty heavy shoes.

[@esoterical73]

I spike hyzer 0000 mids. I self identify as a SL Tilt.

[@pdga3791]

I like inflips ;)

[@tomdigidre]

Not a bad video, but would be entirely more helpful if there were more actual throws in the video.

[@joeillingworth1141]

On a vertical angle it will still go left Because of the same mechanism that causes a disk to stay in the air despite gravity, I the lift that will be normally generated Except it's not fighting gravity anymore in the left to right direction

[@austinthrowsstuff]

your taking away the glide though. So when you start to get extreme angles, it starts to not fade as much.

[@gannonolson6294]

As he said, it's the same thing as a grenade. So yes, you will get a little sideways drift if you throw something quite understable. A very useful albeit infrequently called for utility shot. But that's why this and the grenade are normally done with a significantly overstable disc. Almost zero drift, extremely predictable parabola.

[@joeillingworth1141]

But it's true that the disk shouldn't skip really because it's going to hit on at least that sharp of an angle that you threw And if it is a true spike heiser Then the disk really doesn't have much momentum left when it lands
