(edit. I used leopards and leopard 3's) After working on my form lately, I stumbled upon this gem. Being FH dominant and only putting BH, I've been throwing 250 inconsistent with my BH. Been working on my form lately and pushed 300 feet, but I still got massive issues with everything. This drill combined with the hips drill, really gave me the feeling of timing (nowhere near perfect or decent, but it did help) Anyway, after spending a few hours this morning practicing at home, I went to the field to try it out and boy did I feel it after 15 minutes. I really tried to do it as slow as possible and then slowly adding some speed. Focus was in keeping my head in center, butt out and just a slight bending in the knees, whilst offhand pushed down to help rotate the hips. The first time I really felt it all "clicked", I really felt the "snap" and the tips of my fingers felt it as well 😅 I threw 370 (no lies here) and It felt so effortless, like i barely did 70% power.. Had multiple 350 throws and capping at 385~ before I had to stop. Thanks a ton for this video! (Btw, my apologies for the long post and the English..)

Got out today and twirled some bird in a field to loosen up. Worked on walk up per your Deep Roots video and threw over 220' for the 1st time ever. Sent my Nomads 190-200' consistently and straight down a line. Sent my Crave 281' with no effort and all my discs were coming out straight! You are leaps ahead as people figure out form instruction. As a short person at 5'4", throwing 300-350' with control would make me happy. Thx and have a great weekend.

They all have good points but they never clicked, neither did this one at first. I'm not a beginner, I've been throwing for many years muscling the disc out there and never understood the whip or whatever you want to call it. I just kept doing the twirly bird with a disc today while throwing, getting looser and loosers then it just happened out of nowhere, then I had the 'ah ha' moment, I must be a slow learner, its simpler then I thought. If anyone is struggling with the concept, do this drill in the field with a disc a bunch and it'll happen. So stoked.

Oh, it's also really fun to watch. And the chapter markers and invitations to skip ahead for more advanced people--really smart.

Thank you so much for this video! I feel like it's finally giving me a feel for how my body rotates, how the hips swing first and cause everything else to rotate after, which is starting to get the timing right, and how the arms swing freely because of the hip movement, which is what creates the slingshot effect. It didn't immediately translate, the first time I went into the field, into great form and distance, but I feel like this might actually be getting me started working on the stuff that will get me there. I've watched so many videos on engaging the hips and how to get more distance, and I was not able to engage my hips or increase my distance at all. I hope hope hope that this is the beginning of finally learning what I've been missing.

I’ve watched nearly all the DG drills videos, and this was truly a game changer. Through this technique, I finally discovered the mysterious “power pocket” for the first time. Before I was throwing all wrong, and pulling with my arm muscles so hard that I was throwing my arm out. Now, I’m using this technique on every BH drive, and power comes from the hips/body. Before I was plateauing around 300ft. Now, I’m easily hitting 350ft without even trying. Thank you for such an excellent tutorial.

Feeling the momentum move through the kinetic chain so efficiently felt like a true level-up!

I've been struggling super hard to fix my timing for several months (just started playing seriously at the end of last summer) and this video pretty much single-handedly just fixed it after I worked on it for a couple days. Didn't even need the whole drill. Just doing the first part and slightly adjusting my timing until it felt like the swing was being driven by my left leg rather than just swinging with it was enough to make me *finally* feel what it feels like to properly engage my lower body and it feels dramatically different than it did before. Before I was just adjusting my timing so my arm came after legs and hips but it wasn't really being driven by them at all. I've played twice since I started doing this drill and my consistency with distance is much better. I haven't beaten my max drive yet (~370) but I used to get mostly between 320-340 on my far attempts while rarely hitting about 360-370 with hyzer flips with super flippy discs. After working on this drill I'm getting 350-360 consistently with stable-to-overstable drivers (2022 Halo destroyer, Halo tern). I threw 6 drives on a 360 hole today and every single one was in circle one. This is just such an incredible improvement for me. And the best part is that I actually *feel* like my arm speed is slow now whereas before it felt like there was no way I could throw any faster. It really feels like there's a ton more room for me to improve now. Can't tell you how much I appreciate your channel.

Thank you for this video! (also the two previous ones!) I've struggled with my distance for the past 15 years I've been playing maxing out at 330-350 ft. Two years ago I got to a point where I almost hit 400 ft, but more importantly throwing past 330 ft felt pretty effortless. Due to the pandemic I've played and practiced less than two years ago and a huge amount of frustration is bulding up. My approach game is fine for me and I can throw putters and mids smoothly. The only gripe in my game is the unreachable 400 ft. Today I had a two hour field session that made me so angry about the state of my drives that I almost started listing some of my backup discs for sale. Watching these three videos gave me hope in fixing my long lasting form problem so that I can comfortably throw over 350 ft. There's also a competition coming the upcoming weekend where there's a hole where you have to cross at least 350 ft. of water if you want to have a look at a birdie. Fingers crossed I figure something out by then..

Was doing some field work, and every time I start trying to "muscle" the disc forward I would stop and get twirly with it. 1st with full extension, then allowing my throwing arm to naturally bend and straighten from the rotational torque. My throw immediately after is always one of my better throws. Helps me stop forcing things and let the full body rotation do the work. Also This drill feels really good on my back. I start rounds with it now.

Can’t wait to go out and try this sounds weird but I tried this in my house and I feel like it will definitely help just need to go out and try it and also not overthink it like I do a lot

First off great job! I'm going to implement these methods in lessons my man. Probably the best demonstration on basic throwing mechanics ives seen. Keep it up man can't wait to see what else you come up with

Everything you have showed me has helped me out! I have several disability's and these drills help tremendously, in helping my back, hips & knees not feel so bad after not only the round but walking the course as well! Fixing my forum has also gave me a chance to play for more then a round every couple of days from the relief of not stressing my issues in my hips and back! So I say twirling bird I shall be, who you looking at......I'm just a twirly bird Hahaha! Thank you! Do you recommend any drills for the forehand throw? That would be a awesome helping tool as well, again thank you! You have definitely saved me some serious pain relief and reduced allot of down time therapy.

After playing for half a year I seem to be stuck at around 220-240 average, maxing out around 270 every now and then. I drilled the twirlybird for about an hour and got about the same 220-240 average distance from a standstill. It felt so much smoother and easier! Tried it with a walk up but it seemed to get in the way and my distance dropped.

Adding a walk up is tricky but you’ll get it

Excellent content. I’ve been watching disc golf instructional videos since I started throwing about 6 yrs ago and have seen all the “classics” like the Beto drill and the more current stuff from guys like Danny. I think you’re on the cutting edge of disc golf instruction as far as embracing things like “no reach-back” and no “pull” while also producing excellent videos (length, content, clarity, editing, etc.) I first heard of some of the concepts you’re teaching through the Spin and Throw guy on YT and FB. Wondering if you’ve seen that or if you reached the same conclusions independently. Both of you have really helped improve my game and I can tell from watching the pros that it’s correct. Keep up the amazing work!

I am familiar with Spin and Throw but I reached my conclusions independently. I do like that he has a methodology and clear lines of teaching.
