Simons advice on leave behind instead of reach back added 75ft to my drives. However, it did take 3 months and a few practice fields to get there

[@NolanSmithers97]

Can you clarify what this means? -dude who has forehand drive because backhand sux

[@TheGreatestJuJu]

@@NolanSmithers97 kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2rIkJ97qJx0iac The whole video is great but 5:45 is where Simmons explains, leaving your disc in one place and moving your body around your disc. After playing for a couple years nonstop, I would reach back while doing the x step and my arm would sit in that position for a while as I did my run up. After fixing my form, now when I step forward I feel the power build up as the distance between my leading foot and the disc grows. As soon as these two things reach their peak stretch I release the tension forward. This is key. My arm is only in the fully stretched out position for a split second. This was key. You can do this all in very slowly and still feel the build up in power in the stretch, the key difference is the leg moving forward not the arm going back. I think this video is the epitome of perfect form but it’s hard to understand all the nuances that he’s truly trying to get across until you’ve had bad form for a while, I think this is why it has 425,000 views. Watching this as a beginner is helpful but you don’t know what you don’t know. Unfortunately, after you’ve played quite a bit and you’ve screwed up your form, it’s easier to watch this video and learn from it but then you have the long journey of trying to undo your bad form and relearn the correct way to throw. It’s worth it though. This took me from 325ish to 400ish. Then learning to plant foot and transfer weight into the leading leg instead of leaning over it James Conrad style (James is the only one who’s made that style work) added another 40ish to my drives. Hope this helps. Every disc golfer should watch this Simon video. I’m not sure where to look for forehand advice. I’ve tried a lot of things, but I just can’t get a lot of power and it makes my elbow hurt if I try to much. My forehand is passable and usable but not great. Good luck

[@konroh2]

@@TheGreatestJuJu Thanks for the vid recommendation. As for forehand, power is still in the hips, not the arm. Arm strength helps but swing the hips around, try not to worry so much about arm swing (let that be natural) and then really get a pop with the wrist like you're swinging a hammer at the end. If the hips pull the arm thru and you pop the hand at the end you'll see improvement.

[@Flint_Hyzermatic]

Evan seems like a nice guy. I wish him much success.

[@davycrocket4858]

Did you mean David? Evan is the little boy at the end that throws his first ace

[@clintsawyer7702]

Hard to express the excitement here! Simon and Uli are two of my favorite players, and I pretty much learned to play disc golf watching Paul Ulibarri tutorials, so I was super excited and signed up immediately when they first announced power disc golf academy, so seeing Simon joining up is probably the second most exciting thing that I have experienced since I started playing. This is going to be awesome! And anyone who either hasn't heard about it, or who has been on the fence, go check it out, the tutorials are amazing, but the community is even better! There seems to be a lot of toxicity showing up in a lot of the disc golf groups in social media, that does not exist in this group.

A few things: 1) I hope I am not being too forward but how can you not be in Europe? 2) You mentioned you were probably too busy do Power Disc Golf. I guess you worked something out? 3) David is just a bit obnoxious. 4) Yes, both the MD1 and Hex are great discs. 5) Is MVP / Axiom / Streamline working on some discs with more dome? Throwing Dunnipace designed discs for so long made you used to it. 6) Evan’s first ace! 😀
