This video increased my distance by 100ft and I haven't even thrown a disc or even finished the video yet

[@christianmorris7405]

This video was super helpful for me. A little over a year ago I had my first kid and naturally had to take a little break from playing. Since coming back my distance hasn't been there. I watched this video and Trevor talked about the slingshot. It clicked for me that I was leaving out my slingshot and my distance is coming back. Thank You so much Trev!

Congratulations on having a baby! Baby's are a lot of fun. You will learn a lot about yourself throughout the next 18 years.

Congrats on the second kid Trevor! God bless you and your family brother!

[@yggyking10]

I've been finding my own way to the last tip. I recently started filming myself, and realized everything was coming forward too early - hips, shoulders, arm - before my brace foot was solidly down. My first correction was to leave the arm back longer, until the heel of the brace foot is down. This helped, but doesn't give the rapid coil and explosive whip that Trevor talks about. I then figured out my whole body was turning back too far and too soon, with no hip/shoulder separation. The fix I'm working on is to focus on keeping my feet perpendicular to the target line right through to the brace. This keeps my hips sideways and requires my shoulders to coil back quickly at the last second, giving the slingshot result of Trevor's final tip. This is a new development for me - I haven't filmed myself at the field yet - but feels very promising. Yesterday I threw a putter 250', which for me is a crush. (I'm 55, been playing for two years, generally drive 225-250' but working on throwing 300' more often.)

[@bigdiscenergy]

Nice stuff! I've been working on the whip. Getting my wrist into that whip motion. The baseball motions are key too. I think of pitching, and when i would throw a pitch, my power exploded as I pulled my hips and lower body down into the pitch motion. That is what is reminding me to get down to push my plant leg down and get that whip motion on the pull through and follow-through. Robbie C helped me get my head centered, and he tried to get me to bend my knees to get down. The head fix was simple. Look to the side as I go into my x step and pull through. Getting down low has slowed me down a lot, but 😂as you explain here, if i add the gradual run up into an explosion, it is starting to click. I just have to get the timing now. My net is helping practice that and showing I have the consistency to hit my target every time. Thanks again for sharing these tips! If you ever get the putt yips, check my 3 step putting tutorial to get back on track. Trade tips for tips! ...cuz we all have at least one weakness in our game. 😂 Cheers!

[@danielpenrodii2389]

Figuring out your run-up space is crucial! I always prefer a longer run-up and the moment I get on a smaller tee, I feel as if my whole throw has to change. I had to spend genuinely practice in that to mentally feel comfortable and now I can throw 440-450 on a normal teepad when I used to always require 2-3 feet of extra room behind the tee

[@masonewbank5813]

[@zarronramsey7498]

Dude that last tip is what I needed!!! My arm was going back before my plant foot went forward. I think after this I can finally break 400ft.

[@robertreed711]

Congrats on upcoming baby #2!

[@marcusbenner9486]

1 day out implementing the last tip of delay the reach back and make it quick. Added about 40’ of distance. Hoping it sticks and can fine tune it to get even a little more.

[@ianwilson9325]

You definitely have way above average distance Trevor. These are some helpful tips!

[@calebdyer6332]

I was actually experimenting with a faster run up yesterday. I feel like it actually helped me not overthink my form. I always worry too much about all the little details. When I move faster I just worry about being athletic and throwing the disc

[@austin316nc]

Great video ❤

[@crafth2o285]

Great tutorial

[@trevzy91]

I like comparing Paul Omen to James Conrad. Similar body type but vastly different approach to the throw. The two things that helped me break 400 were reaching out from my chest and stomping my foot before I pull the disc through. The throw motion is actually starting but in my brain it’s ‘plant then throw’, that has also allowed my body to follow through properly rather than resisting its momentum.

[@johnhall9900]

Same here. Well, similar. I don't "stomp", but getting front foot planted before starting my pull through has changed my throw for the better

[@DiscPayne]

Using the tech disc I learned I have my most power straight/slight anny. Typically between 5 hyzer- -0.9 anny. But I'm still learning to generate more rpm and a consistent good nose angle

[@KoletheCotter]

Awesome video

[@TJ.Lewisdale]

Thank you. Good video. Chris Dickerson has a solid run up I wish I could emulate. Go O’s Edit: and good luck with the family duties

[@braxtonwilhelm529]

It is crazy because I realized just a few days ago that I lag the disc back too much, this is very helpful. Thank you! If anyone has some advice on how to fix this or work on this it would be great!

[@KankleBaby]

I like this content.

[@greg_loper]

Go dad go!

[@Phyco8]

My run up starts like I’m pitching from the windup. Right leg out left foot along the rubber, then a classic x step. Helps me set my shoulders in the direction I want to throw.

[@johnnyhotkeyz]

I didn’t hear you mention anything about disc weight? How much does this matter to you? And what weight do you usually throw for max distance?

[@jadentinkcom2964]

Trev got that dad strength

[@shaid153]

Trevor, I've watched a lot of form/distance videos and you put it all together very well. I'm a RHBH 400-430 and a forehand 380-400 thrower but using really bad mechanics especially on my backhand. I don't do a run up on my backhand cuz I don't have a good sense of the timing, but I think based on your input it's an "easy" way to get more distance. Keep up your content, I dig it brotha

[@Zipoqs]

Sounds like you don't need to run up lol

[@shaid153]

@@Zipoqs honestly, there's one particular hole that's 435 and Im C1 edge short, or C1 right. It's so dependent on if I get the full flex without burning it over. I tend to throw golf lines full rip 20 feet above ground that carry the distance. When I see Trevor throw he's throwing high Annie's, I don't have that mechanic down. I just want to rip it on a rope

[@prattacaster]

Firstly, that is really far standstill. The best way to work towards x step is to first work on just the final step. So basically start with your feet close together then plant your right foot(RHBH) and do your throw. Once that feels solid add in the left step and so on ..

[@shaid153]

@@prattacaster sorry if I mislead. I am doing an x step but it's just a couple steps and slow, but I have a really tight trunk brace. I played baseball so I know how to isolate my core. My point was that I don't "run" up, I take a couple small steps

[@Grovestdg]

Baseball comparison is great, I think disc golf could learn a lot from baseball. Swinging is so similar to a disc golf throw

[@landonwebb886]

Anyone who can throw over 300 feet is an above average disc golf thrower

[@arhshields]

The PGDA recommends designing amateur par 3 holes around a 250' drive. From what I've seen out in the wild, 400' drives almost never happen outside of serious league players.

[@CornDogDG]

Is this a jg wentworth commercial?

[@prattacaster]

Boom

[@julianseyal]

That’s my cue also I delay, almost like tell myself not to reach back. Is there a cue or something you do to time brace and reach back? I’m having trouble waiting for brace so not sure if this is brace or timing/reach issue.

[@kadenvoeller6832]

It’s the pump! If you watch players like Paul and Ezra they will pump The disc forward in like with their last step of the left foot to time their reach back with the plant.

[@billcoulter1984]

That last tip is what I need to work on. Best wishes for the upcoming birth!

[@wisherb1]

I have been struggling with reaching back to early for a while now. what mental cues did you use to delay your reach back?

[@yggyking10]

Keep your feet perpendicular to the line of travel, don't let your whole body turn backwards early. That was my issue, your mileage may vary.

[@jon51901]

Forward momentum without a brace that keeps the weight behind the plant foot is the #1 killer of power and distance and very very few actually brace correctly. Imagine an outfielder in baseball having their weight go up onto and over their plant foot. You know the power would be reduced significantly. So, we need to learn how to brace.

[@StevenKitchensDiscGolf]

I think other players trying to critique my form in league messed with me. I felt fine with my distance for a little while until people asked me why I needed to throw anhyzer to get distance why not just throw a hyzerflip? Well back then I wasn’t as knowledgeable as I am now with what will flip up and what won’t. But I think people should just mind their business when it comes to big distance shots. If it works for you it works. Not everyone has the power to flip up every disc in their bag. If that were the case you wouldn’t need 25+ discs. Especially if they all did the same thing.

Two things, dial in your x step and throwing flat with a neutral disc or go with a little under stable. Those two things will get you over 300, then just keep working on mechanics. Wrist curl, angle control, etc

[@dsprocks]

Full flex definitely goes further than hyzerflip shots it should be pretty obvious just based on the flight path alone, its taking full advantage of the aerodynamics of the disc.

[@prattacaster]

The longest record setting shots ever in disc golf were Hyzer flips but, yeah, I agree with this if you can't throw 90mph+

That's on his best days with a hole that allows his full Annie flex throw. I'm a flat distance thrower because I play a lot of woods golf that you can't be throwing something that has that much lateral action for distance.
