i think another video that would be helpful would be breaking the mark, using fakes, wide pivots, etc. really appreciate these vids!

[@kurtegibson]

Appreciate the feedback. That is already on the docket and will come soon

Nice video. There is just one point I'd like to bring up. I've been throwing over 50 years with my pointer finger on the rim. I don't have any trouble with power at all. I'm 63 years old and can still throw 80 yards or more. When I was in my 20s, I could throw 100 yards. I've tried using your method and I can't do it very well. I'm just an old dog. BTW, when I see people trying to learn and aren't throwing very well . I have them put their finger on the rim and they improve instantly. I'm not saying your belief is wrong. But maybe it's not for everyone.

Hi- thanks for the feedback. There are some newer throwers that incorporate this but I have never come across anyone that does this at a competitive level. But, if it works for you stick with it!

I learned like this too. I only take my finger off the rim for a huge long range IO Huck type throw, and even then, I normally fluff it up

[@cupbowlspoonforkknif]

I used to suck at the huck as well. I like my index finger out a little as well so I split the difference and it helped a lot. I also started playing and studying disc golf throws which was also a big help.

How do you avoid throwing high if you have to throw around someone?

[@kurtegibson]

Do you mean like an airbounce? Generally if you can’t throw around someone without knowing it won’t be a high % throw the best decision is to just holster it and dump the disc.

太棒了~~~！！感谢~~！

[@kurtegibson]

Thanks!

[@marerlevin2494]

a problem I often have is that when I release the disc low to break my mark I give it to much bounce and throw over my receiver. Any tips on how to fix that or what to focus on?

[@kurtegibson]

The short answer is avoid throwing airbounce backhands 🙂 The reason is it’s very difficult to do this consistently and especially at higher levels when you play against better markers you’ll need to make the motion faster to even get it off leaving more room for error and thus a low % pass

Great . Pls create a video about Throwing in wind

[@kurtegibson]

That is on the docket!
