Never expected Simon to be so well spoken(he seems so quiet). That was the most organized and easy to understand clinic that I've ever watched.

[@feedthebeast909]

All I wanted was that putter shot! And Simon is totally right; playing putter rounds has easily taken 5 or more strokes off of my game. All around has made me a much better player.

[@MegaLaban12345]

You truly have to be good at something to know how to teach it! Simon is a beast.

[@matthewbarber405]

Simon has such poise and natural ability to teach for such a young man. It's impressive. And his ability to communicate effectively, succinctly is amazing considering he doesn't speak English all of the time.

[@beautepley8352]

What eagle said at the end there about standing still and practicing proper form was genius! They both are brilliant! Thanks you two! Really invaluable information here, thanks for giving it away for free.

[@blackrifle3932]

Totally agree. He answered my question on how to practice form

[@xcaliber6002]

"it looks effortless, it feels effortless, and...uh... it is effortless." Best distance throwing advice ever!!

[@marshallpeters7174]

It's effortless, if you do it right. I've found, too, that my drives go better if I don't try so hard. Wish I could remember that more when I'm playing.

[@dwcannabisgrower8445]

Step to the left instead of straight in line on final step before pivot... wow, this gem of advice alone has helped my power. Thanks for the Video!

That putter shot was spectacular... ... in my mind.

Best disk golf training vid ever. Seen a ton of these but this one makes the technique easy to understand.

[@hooversgrass]

This is going to help tremendously. Thanks, Simon and Eagle.

[@BlutigeTranen]

This is easily the most helpful clinic I think I've ever seen on KZbin. Not every shot needs a run up and this was full of information to just throw your disc further, flatter and on target.

[@romanvigil1555]

Some of the best advice I have heard thus this far truly grateful thank you 😊

been wondering why my backhand has taken so long to improve and progress... this video answered a lot of questions and the visuals helped a ton. Simon needs to do more tutorial videos like this, easy to understand what hes doing with the way he teaches if that makes sense.. Thanks for sharing

[@RobertC1983]

Crush Boys!! Could watch and listen to Simon and Eagle all day. Great stuff guys!

[@Postermaestro]

25-50 standstills later and I'm ready for the tour

[@jrzeus]

After throwing wrong for so many years it’s refreshing to have these young guns show the way!

[@LatinKing22]

Oh man, what a tease at the end haha.

[@benhill2561]

Watched this video this morning. I just went out and practiced this technique of stepping slightly forward so that my back was slightly turned toward the target and my drives went from 220ft to 280ft within just a few throws. Amazing. I can see now how this gives my arm and wrist a little extra rotation angle before release.

[@fxcoconut]

Timeless great instructions

[@theboothfamilyvideos]

It's truly amazing the difference position of your feet make when trying to generate power for throwing a disc. Also, keeping the disc on one level... wow! My drives are so much longer and following a more predictable flight. 📀⛳️ #DiscGolf

[@Justin-lr6ze]

This was so helpful! Seems my form was as wrong as it could possibly have been. After an hour of practise in a field, already 30 to 40ft extra distance. I may yet shoot under par one day... Thank you!

[@Syfiewow]

Putter rounds are amazing fun. Ive done it with people and by the end they are so surprised at how far they can throw their putter. The slow high glidey flight is so cool to watch.

[@clenwid4273]

Nice learn much thanks many times.

[@stanstanly3812]

I think the best advice is @13:00. I do my best when I throw putters and midranges. When I first started disc golf I thought putters were only for short shots like regular golf. The first time I threw a putter like a driver I was shocked and stupidly amazed at the distance and accuracy I got :)

[@MrStubbs8157]

He also should have mentioned, that you can also record yourself to see, if you disc during the whole stepping and slingshotting phase nearly doesnt move, but your body sorta moves around the disc. It is like trying to hold it in one place and you overtake it, stretch your arm and use even the straightening of the arm dynamically to give you the first flick during the afterwards constant acceleration forwards. He talks about it in his other video and I found it to be very helpful as well.

[@Beepbeepoutoftheway]

rubber band is the way! also the footwork is super key, added a ton of distance for me, thanks dudes!

[@victorfolcke]

First time I saw this video i had just started to play discgolf. I had no idea who Eagle was... So in the video I thought he was a fanboy of simon standing weirdly close and mimicking simons movements. But when he started to talk I realized he was a pro aswell xD

I’m one of those 40 year-olds that just got into the game and I bought a super-fast driver because... why not?! 😂. My local course is also perfect for putters and mid-rangers as well so I will be playing a ton of putter-only rounds. Here we go!

[@Rover08]

10:04 Elbow is really, really the key

[@shanewilliams9991]

I know that it's awesome to see the disc fly but I wish the focus of the filming would have been more on the mechanics of the throws than the full flight of the shot. I feel like we as viewers miss some of the throwing mechanics in trying to catch the full flight. Either way, thanks for the great video!

Putter shot so powerful it broke the camera

[@GaryMarotz]

So I will know when I have learned how to throw a putter like Simon when nearby electronics spontaneously malfunction?

[@shanewilliams9991]

I feel like the clinic should start with Eagle's bit @11:15 and end with Simon's bit @0:55.

[@joeyhitch2671]

what makes it so effortless for them is because their follow-through is on

[@marshallpeters7174]

Interesting how follow-through is so important, when the disc is already in the air by then. I would say follow-through is an indicator of how good your form was. If you threw it properly, you'll have the proper follow-through.

[@pierrearr]

@@marshallpeters7174 Nah, if you don't follow through you're slowing your arm down at the end of the throw because you're not letting the movement continue naturally. You can't throw a full power drive and just stop the momentum all of a sudden, your body won't let you do that because it will break. Think of other sports like baseball, ice hockey, tennis etc. They always follow through with the power shots. If they didn't follow through imagine how unnatural it would look and how little power they would generate. My English vocabulary isn't good enough to explain it better.

[@marshallpeters7174]

@@pierrearr That's basically what I said. If you throw properly, you'll have the proper follow-through. That applies to any sport.

[@Beaglefaust]

After seeing this video and trying the concepts for months I had a realization. Unless you preturn your shoulders back a bit on the run-up, as you can see they do, you're not going to be able to take that big step forward to the left side of the teepad. You'll plant straight or right, to match your body angle. Once I got that, it was much simpler. The reason I had trouble was not wanting to take my eyes off the target until the last possible second. But by then, it's too late to make a sudden complete shoulder turn. Like in golf, your backswing should be gradual. You can't jerk it into place at the last instant and be successful.

[@Silver386]

getting used to the backhand is so hard for me. My dominant foot is left but I'm right handed. I also used to skateboard so my stance was regular (left foot forward). I feel like I ride switch when I'm throwing my backhands :p

[@theboothfamilyvideos]

4:36-4:38 I think Simon's hand broke the sound barrier! His hand is audibly heard while holding nothing in his hand.

[@seanthedevlin]

haha, I think that was his shoe squeaking on the grass when it pivots.

[@kcwidman]

Joseph Booth just in case you were serious, his hand was not going 700 mph. That’s how fast you have to go to break the sound barrier. Also, sonic boom’s are much much louder. It was his shoe on the grass squeaking.

[@maxedwhip1286]

@@kcwidman sonic boom isnt always super loud, buy a whip, the end of it will break sound barrier, yet as its small object and it doesnt create much noise, it wont make a loud boom either. Sonic boom is basically reault of something making sound at over speed of sound, and the waves will hit eachother

[@kcwidman]

@@maxedwhip1286 I know that sonic booms have varying loudness. I was saying that if Simon had broken the sound barrier it would have made a louder noise than what his shoe made from squeaking on the grass. I know how a whip works and what it sounds like. It's much louder than Simon's shoe. A sonic boom forms when an object moves faster than the speed of sound (about 700 MPH in air). All of the sound waves propagating away from the object in the same direction as the velocity of the moving object stack on top of each-other. They add together via constructive interference and create a sound much louder than it would have otherwise been.

[@shayspeer6323]

Pivoting on the heel of the foot instead of the toes is also much better for your knees and more fluent with less resistance over all.

[@coreynighswander2163]

I hold my putter, mid range and driver differently. It is just how I feel comfortable.

[@blackrifle3932]

Plot twist: the putter shot was so fast, it stopped time

[@Abubobbledo]

The explanations are great and I think I can easily work this into my next practice. However, the demo portion needs work. Thrower needs to face the camera and the camera needs to stay on the thrower - not follow the disc.

[@Plozie24]

This looks like La Mirada In SoCAL? Any confirmation?
