[@Izz.yG24]

Thank you

[@tyhensley7076]

All I wanted.

[@mitchellshepard9131]

Perfect, this guy is long-winded

[@Poorleno88]

You are totally right. I really liked your "play-while-explaining"-approach! And the tips make sense to me as well. Thanks!

[@SangdaleDiscGolf]

Hey Trevor, I’m not sure if you’ll see this but I actually took your putting tip. I had a my first MA3 Tournament Sept 30th (12 days after this video was released) and completely broke down my form to get the same grip you use. I ended up winning the tournament and I don’t think I would have won it if I didn’t stumble upon this video so thank you!

[@travisobenshain2666]

I’m 42 years old and I still play competitively. Don’t sell yourself short my dude, you are not too old to play competitively. Love the tips and as always content is crispy clean.

[@seymourglass26]

Dude, look at Scott Stokely or MJ or so many players. This is a game for a lifetime.

[@Big_C_Here]

I'm about to turn 40 and I'm a year into disc golf, I would love to know how to get better at my age and be competitive.

[@travisobenshain2666]

Just keep playing. KZbin and the people I played with taught me everything I know. Emulate until you find your own style and technique.

[@Big_C_Here]

I appreciate that.@@travisobenshain2666

[@nealwagenman8764]

Great putting tip!! 3 months back playing after 12 year hiatus...don't ask. Had always wrapped index finger on rim in past and continued so now. Implemented tip today with instant improvement in both feel and results.

[@AlanS_DGC]

Tip #8: Enjoy the pressure. I really like that. For a while now I have been trying to intentionally add pressure to myself while out play casual rounds. I love getting into pressure situations on the course.

[@JohnnyD5]

Hey Trevor, idk if you’ll ever see this but if you doI just want to say that both of your tips videos instantly changed my game and I actually started winning tournaments (MP40) instead of just barely breaking into the top 10. Thanks so much for those videos! Literal game-changers!

[@NotSoFast71]

I tried the putter finger tip yesterday. I get much more power and spin now. I made every putt inside 20 feet...amazing for me. Thanks!

[@damienwilliams2274]

Thank you Trevor, I went and had a game after watching this video and I noticed when I moved my finger down from the rim, my putts was a hell of a lot straighter and more accurate. Cheers

[@jordanstorey7084]

Thanks for the tips! Loving the personal channel as well as all the content.

[@creativecalisthenics398]

Had never heard that putting tip before this video! Instant improvement for me practicing it today and playing a round with it (and my putting percentage was all ready pretty good). Thanks Trevor!!

[@benblock34]

trevor! i would absolutely love to win those hooligan discs!! i have REALLY enjoyed all of your solo content! thank you for bringing me so much joy!

[@ryanskoczen]

I never realized I wrapped my pointer finger on the outside of the rim until this video. I tried the adjustment today at the course. It's different but it definitely helps a ton. Thanks so much for the pointers!

[@seumptewaable]

Looking forward to trying these tips out! I throw hooligan and definitely need some replacements for my Vibes and Yeets

[@devindiscs]

those discs would fit nicely into my work in progress bag. great tips trev i look forward to these vids every week

[@austin316nc]

Love this series ❤❤

[@erichorn9858]

I needed to hear this before last weekend. What you said makes total sense for why one of my buddies constantly had better upshot’s… his grip changes. I didn’t think about it but we have talked about it. Time to test some stuff

[@blindy951]

Hey you got your own channel! Your an awesome creator Trevor can’t wait to see what there is to come!

[@cameroncochran9405]

Great list of tips, impressed with how the Hooligan discs flew nicely too

[@johnschott3681]

25:30 love the pun...disc-claimer 😂 Great advice throughout!

[@bsmithhammer]

Love that you've started your own channel, dude. Subscribed.

[@sixtensoderholm6986]

I have just started playing discgolf and really enjoys it and could use som more discs! Love your videos!!!

[@kylejacobs8329]

Great tips, definitely some I'd not heard before! Really enjoying the new channel, keep up the great work.

[@tommivahtera1616]

Thank you Trevor. Very good video. Timing is everything!🎉

[@ericjepson3765]

Love the tip about feeling the disc before buying. The last disc I bought without feeling it was the thunderbird and while I liked its flight, I hated its rim, especially for forehands and now I just don't throw it. Every time I'm at a proper shop I looove to feel all the plastics and rims. That lat 64 royal grand plastic is AMAZING

[@donniehardin8309]

This an excellent video Trevor! More of this please, you've found your niche

[@dgmonteverdi]

Great tips, Trevor. I''m enjoying the channel. (A shortcut for the first few tips is to play catch with a putter with a friend as part of your warm up. If you're newer to the game, play catch even more frequently. You'll figure out your thumb positioning, learn the fan grip, and will develop a touch forehand.)

[@jacksantoro9858]

Index finger off the rim is a great tip. I tried it and putting works and feels better that way for me. Thanks!

[@Jamminn555]

Dude, great video. Really useful tips for all players. And great conversational presence on camera, very positive and easy to follow. Really appreciate it, Trevor. Look forward to more. Ben

[@brendanjenkins1204]

Love the tip about pressure! Will def be thinking about that for my next few tournaments! Also always wanted to try some Hooligan, especially the thread!

[@Big_C_Here]

I'm fan of the content. Also, really appreciate and enjoy the tips and breakdowns on how to perform better. Thank you.

[@bollingalley1893]

Great tips. Main thing for me is to just keep it simple and do what works for me.

[@Haywire-ke9jp]

Love how you break it down. Would love to huck some hooligan plastic in SC. Such a sick giveaway!

[@joshuakerr947]

Love the new channel. Excited to try out some of these tips to try to improve my game. I currently putt with my finger in the rim so I am going to try to move it off. I have tried before, but it felt weird and I didn’t stick to it. Also, definitely want to be in the giveaway. The discs look sick. Yeet and vibe a little too high speed, but the thread would be perfect.

[@jasoncerminaro4586]

Very helpful! Looking forward to using these tips this Sunday against my dad and uncle 🥏

[@truce11]

Feels like I was watching a PBS program about disc golf and it was soothing and informative

[@falconsgo9182]

The fan grip tip is a good one! All of the tips were great really!

[@BrianMorrison-me7bm]

Trevor thanks for these tips and all your content. You have helped me out more than you imagine. Keep up the videos

[@JacobLikesMusic]

My best tip right now, that seems to help me the most is happy thoughts. I credit Robbie C, "Man, it's gonna feel great when I sink this putt!", I applied this to drives too and it makes a difference.

[@Begnoche]

Saw your video the previous night and used your putting grip technique and boy did it do wonders to my put. I used it for a 150ft shot and hit my second ace with it also! Love the video, thanks so much for the content!

[@sethusk]

Some of those tips do really help my game. The fan grip one just makes me sad, because I know it's true and I feel the same way you did before you used it.

[@johndaniel5685]

These tips are pretty simple but honestly so helpful! Thanks for putting them all in one video, so when I come back I can get them all again when I forget in about 3 days 😂

[@pileggi11197]

Hooligan Givaway 🎉 Also loving the Monday posts and excited to see how this channel evolves!

[@mikeporter7633]

I love that I have the same struggles you do so this was really helpful, thank you! I also would like to win those discs from your story

[@deadewok02]

Really been loving the videos so far. Also, the names on those hooligan discs are great. Especially the yeet lol.

[@niklasnonboeandersen3369]

That first tip was all I had time to watch and it still has been on my mind the whole day at school

[@fullofmyself1]

Crushing discs and crushing minds with this killer advice.

[@akkadian1995]

Thanks Trevor, I need to try that putting tip for sure.

[@cr_io]

Really appreciate how the tips were deliberately ordered to match the holes you were playing (especially the first 4 in particular) to give them context and make it that little bit more meaningful. Hand feel is a massive thing for me, completely agree with that, if I don't like the feel of a disc and I bought it online or got in a player pack it doesn't go in my bag. Love all the tips, lots I know about, but even just hearing them re-iterated or explained in a slightly different way is still a great reminder to get me thinking about some of those things again.

[@TheSpurs89]

Thanks for these videos. Great content, please keep them coming. So tips 1 and 9...i put with my finger in the way, and have been since Covid...when i started. I am a pretty solid putter. I really like what feels like 3 points of contact kn the putter...top, front and under. Finger under the disc thows everything off...im a casual once a week golfer, with 30 minutes a week to practice. Would you (or others in the comments) make the switch or follow rule 9? Thanks!

[@shanesplanetshane3795]

After 20 years of DG I changed to a putt grip with finger ON the lip. I've begun to use a fan grip under and finger on edge, for last 2 seasons. My putting USED to be either a lob shot or spin throw. Now I use the fingertip for most my putting that is

[@zachw4829]

Great video, personally took alot away from this. Like most, my game is constantly going down and sometimes up (lol). Been playing for years and really want to be more consistent so I hope these tips will improve my knowledge for the game.

[@MajesticMasiakasaurus]

VERY good video, Trevor! Easily one of the best disc golf tips vids I've seen.

[@jonathanwess4625]

Great video Trevor! I would love some of those hooligan discs!

[@collintymm2083]

Thanks for the tips Trevor! That giveaway looks decent too!

[@KoletheCotter]

Really helpful and relatable tip video Trevor, you put an awesome twist on the cliché technique videos that are all over these days. Multiple tips you mentioned apply to my game currently; the channel gets better every week! Can't wait for next Monday

[@scabbed]

WOAH this is a course in VA I drive by all the time working up there. I pack disc in my work bag waiting for a day i have time to play it! I recognized the course when you were on hole 13!

[@dustinsalonen3054]

Great vid Trevor! Index finger was a eyeopener to me☺️ Keep doing ur thing, its great!

[@timhughes4025]

Love the new channel! Keep bringing the fun

[@SquidNugget-lm1ip]

Hey I’m the worst about putting my finger on the edge when I putt and also the forehand upshot helped me understand why my upshots have been not very good during my last 5 tournaments🔥 thank you Trevor I appreciate you doing this video🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@chrgaming3530]

loving the weekly videos, keep up the good work my man

[@cspunisher5774]

Great tips Trevor! Simple, easy to apply & focus on to make good habits. Been playing almost 6 months now, I'm a finger on the rim for putts, going to make that change. Thanks.

[@brickuz]

Favorite vid so far. Much appreciated, Trevor 🙏❤️

[@RGMDG]

Honestly Trevor, you have a lot of great content, but this is one of your best videos.. Great Tips. Something for everyone. A lot for some. (me).

[@allpurposeglue1]

Enjoy the pressure. Great tip!

[@BooneFlowers1990]

Yoooo the putting tip helped me a TON😳😳 Appreciate it Trevor👊🏻

[@tylerpeterson8885]

Trevor is the best disc golfer ever. That giveaway looks spicy. Keep up the quality content!👍

[@bellies1000]

Some good general tips (and of course discgolfrelated). Even for someone like me who does not play discgolf!

[@JacobLikesMusic]

Learning to like the pressure reminds me of Alex Honnold, the climber. He's been asked about handling fear and his response was something like: the body reaction for fear and excitement is similar, so you can reframe it in your mind into excitement.

[@jasondrew2322]

Oooh oooh!! Pick me for the giveaway!!! Always need reminders of some stuff and need new tips ! Wish you uploaded every day!🎉🎉

[@wooky5461]

Liked the video flow and format, course management would be another good one

[@jimofalltrades]

Great Video. I really enjoyed this one! Super great thoughts.

[@coleriggs1774]

Great video I want to try that vibe a lot

[@tydumeproductions]

This was really well thought out and great tips

[@ansto12345]

Would love to try out those sweet hooligan discs and get to work on these tips😁💪🏻

[@jjnoodles-au]

I'd love to try out some hooligan discs! Appreciate the giveaway opportunity Trevor 😊

[@BigDukes4U]

Thanks for the tips.

[@TheSchmolke]

Learn how to enjoy pressure is such a solid advice, that could help alot of players. i tried my first tournaments this year, and was playing better than any rounds i do with friends, because i enjoyed that little "Pressure". and most of my card mates would be playing 4-6 strokes worse than normal rounds. So i even got 3rd in my second tournament, without being rated yet. specially putting just the fact that it ment something helped me. I think because i played Football on a pro Youth level so there was pressure in every match, trying to get the contract. which you learn to grow with and enjoy :)

[@i2ossEmC]

Learning how to throw a forehand has been one of the biggest obstacles for me. I've gotten to the point where I can throw them but not reliably and I tend to be one of those that hides behind using the stability of discs still, but the tip about slowing the wrist down was paramount for me and I still have to remind myself from time to time to slow it down. Great video, Trevor and please count me in for the giveaway! Thanks!

[@joer8273]

I respect any disc golf content creator that films misses. Cuz that’s real talk.

[@TexasRotor]

Here for the tips AND the hooligan disc giveaway. Great vid!

[@68santa]

Great tips, keep up the good work👍

[@Chris-gc2uz]

As a newbie this is good stuff my guy!! 💪🏾

[@diychef729]

comment to tip nr 8, a club mate of mine from bowling told me to take those feelings of nervousness as anticipation instead, i have alot of butterflies in my stomach when competing and thinking of it as anticipation instead just makes it feel alot better! Im really happy when competing, unless i suck...or it rains ;)

[@shion0673]

Ive either heard or figured out all tips but tip 7. Ive never heard anything close to tip 7, so thank you for sharing that one. I also love the explanations on all tips. You explained many of the tips in ways I havent heard. Sometimes hearing the same tip explained in different ways can help someone understand it.

[@adamplett2924]

As a Texas boy I’d love to try out some hooligan discs from the giveaway. I’m really liking this personal channel and enjoy all the types of content you’re trying out. I guess it’s time to start taking my index finger off the lower rim lol. Keep up the good work!

[@cbrullan]

Went out in the backyard to putt with the index finger out of the way tip. Fixed my most disastrous miss which was air-balling putts right. Dang it feels weird though. Thanks!

[@robertreed711]

Loving this content, Trevor. Keep it up!

[@rodkesselring3006]

Great tips, thanks trevor

[@J0SH.0]

Great practical advice! Would love a video on course management. I have conversations with newer players and it blows my mind when they've never thought of "playing the percentages" or "playing for the good miss" when choosing what shot to throw.

[@kaz_don_fan]

Yes - that would be great. Never forget the day my then 14 year old won his first big tournament. Final hole - 2 shot lead - he pulls a putter out, when he had parked the hole other days with a mid. I kind of looked at him a bit funny, but he goes with it and his throw is 60 feet short - but easy upshot - tap in for 2 shot win. I asked him about it later and he said "the mid could have reached the OB golf green [which was left of the disc golf green], but the putter couldn't so I threw short". I learnt something about course management right there!

[@Linushockeygik]

Nice video Trevor! Thanks for great tips. I wish I started earlier but hey, hope ill be as good as you even sometime after 30 😅

[@austinmullenix3395]

as a beginner I love seeing these videos, keep it up! i’d also love those hooligan discs from your insta 👀

[@seanbinder8316]

Love the putting tip I'm going to try it

[@andrewshelburne496]

Love these videos Trevor! Keep it up!

[@nickcowan4147]

Dude, have played a few rounds with my finger off the rim while putting for the first time ever and I’m making everything(sorta) and it just feels smooth! Thanks for the tip 🎉

[@catones2868]

This was a fun video to watch. Where is that course?? Two weeks into learning this sport and so far, have scored two 30+ over par 😅. I can’t wait to be at the point where I feel as if I actually know what I am doing. Thanks for helping out. Tip I liked most was about aiming for a smaller target.

[@chrisfoley.design]

great video man Loved just listening to a thought rather than rambling

[@sbashor]

Great tips Trevor! Really enjoying the content on this channel! Also, would love to enter the giveaway for those Hooligan Discs 🤙🏻

[@SunnyDiscGolf]

I’ve always wanted to try hooligan discs - sweet giveaway! Great tips btw. I especially took the first one to heart and started practicing it!
