I'm 43. I've been playing disc golf for 13 years. This is the first explanation of the brace that finally clicked. This video sent me down a rabbit hole of the rest of your training videos. I've watched most of them multiple times at this point. The one where you break down the throw starting with One Leg drives is another favorite. I have been actively training my backhand based on your videos for 2 months. Today I threw an Escape 364' from a stand still. That's the farthest I've ever thrown a disc. Almost more importantly, my release points have improved drastically. Your drills have mostly fixed my rounding issues. Just wanted to say thank you for what you do. All your videos have been incredibly helpful, but this was the one that started me on the path. So thank you.

@@TheKebabFTW I don't say you need to extend the front leg. Think about it this way: try to "crush the can" and really flatten it under your foot like, make it a piece of tin foil. That is how you push DOWN with all your bodyweight and strength. The other way would be to bounce up hastily as soon as your foot hits the can. That way the can would never flatten, and you don't get the weight shift done. Sorry for chiming in like this. I don't want to hijack Blitz's channel's comment section any more than this. Good luck!

Blitz had me doing this on a video call the other day. My third session doing this I hit a speed PR (57.8mph). I nearly hit the PR while on the call with him. My second session fell just short as well. Then my third session and boom! But what is even crazier is that it felt like I wasn’t even trying. My previous speed PR was obtained by jamming my off arm into the body and my throwing arm felt like it was slamming as hard as an arm could possibly be used. Now I am hitting upper 50s and my arms aren’t even doing anything! It freaking works.

The brace is one of those things I feel like is over talked about in disc golf. Some people need to actively work on it, but most people don't. However because it gets talked up so much people put an abnormal amount of importance into it. Disc golf needs more drills like this where we're not just isolating the one mechanism, but instead viewing the system more holistically. Appreciate the work you're putting in here Blitz.

Yes and no. I see a lot of people in the Power DG Academy posting every day that struggle hard core with proper bracing. Falling over the front foot, knees bent to ridiculous angles, etc. Ezra's bracing video is probably one of the best we have. I get what you are saying and agree that a lot of times a more wholistic approach is good. But there are plenty of people who don't understand how to brace and take a long time to do so. I've coached sofball for nearly 20 years and it's the same there.

@@discsmd Yeah I think once you have the brace down you probably don't have to revisit it. But if you don't, it can be really hard to grasp. For me I understand objectively that I need to plant before I throw, but in the learning process I managed to mess up the timing and I'm starting the throw before I've planted, and it became muscle memory. I think that's why a lot of people have a problem with the disc golf backhand - they get too many things wrong, built into muscle memory, and the challenge is to correct course. I think this drill may do that for me, and hopefully for others. 🙂

@@discsmd There are certainly going to be people who need instruction. My point is more that bracing is a natural bodily motion. We naturally know how to slow ourselves down and oppose a motion. The x-step is a weird sideways walk. If we wanted to stop a sideways walk without the context of the throw most people would probably intuit how to do it. We should lean into that when teaching people the mechanics.

One thing I would focus on as well is keeping your head neutral and down. You don't want to be looking over your driving shoulder towards your target before or even as you release. You're losing a lot of power like that. You want to "HIT" your release point and everything after that is follow through. This means, on release, your nose (the one on your face lol) should be pointed at or behind your point of release. Otherwise, you're just opening your coil up and creating a power leak.

I'm a new player working on form. But more specifically I never played a sport in any real way. And so when my body is firing off wrong and my elbow is hurting, my condition (athletidumb) causes me to not grow. It's basically twice as hard for me to understand what my body is saying. I'm like a Pokemon that injures itself trying a move. Add in grip, hips, arm draw path, the pocket, "explosiveness", walk up, foot placement, pulling the lawn mower cord, pouring coffee, on and on. You might as well go get the full body cast. This is the first thing that has made me understand when someone says good players don't think about arm strength to throw far. Close your eyes and feel it. That makes sense to me somehow. Thanks for this. This feels like the way. So I can report back with better numbers I have only ever thrown 300+ like a few lucky times forehand! I'm more like 225 on backhand driving (nose up trying 10 techniques).

Hey Blitz, thanks so much for this. Do I have this correct, the tension in the upper body is just enough and aligned to keep the swing plane, the weight shift sort of glides the arm into the pocket and then once in the pocket with weight shift complete, the disc comes out of the pocket and is aided by the completion of the brace and its shift/rotation of the hips at that end point "push down"? How does that final timing work ideally? Is the brace force ejecting the disc from the pocket or is it the arm initiating, and the brace catching up to the moving disc to add to the system? The patience part to get the disc to the pocket is such an "aha" for me, these pesky dude arms want to hog the show!
@BlitzDG8 ай бұрын
I don't teach or focus on the arm doing anything OUT of the pocket. That should all just be an automatic ejection based on stored energy and a bunch of coil, along with the upper rotating just enough to let the disc pop out. I try to focus on just a forward motion and the arc to eject is a byproduct.

@@RBadding I suggest watching @NickKrush.DGandFit "Demystifying the Disc Golf Brace" video series. He explains the kinetic chain of transferring your forward momentum/kinetic energy into rotational energy when you brace. Really good videos from a brilliant guy. I might watch them all again now that I'm thinking of it. RE your back leg: In a run-up/X-step, you aren't using your back leg for power at all, as you gain momentum from the run-up. However, in a standstill, you are using your backleg to kind of push your body forward/shift your weight forward so you have kinetic energy to convert into rotational energy, since your body doesn't start the brace with momentum like you do in a run-up. At least, that's my understanding. Also, 330ft is actually quite good. Our view of 'good' distance can be skewed by the internet where the big distance people are more likely to comment their distance, and/or exaggerate their distance.

I think once you get the hang of this drill, and dial in the movement patterns, head on over to Nick Krush's channel and watch his part 3 of the Demystifying the brace series to continue forward. This one should flow very nicely into that one.

1. Fantastic drill, really explains how to be loose AND still lead with the elbow. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 2. I have to know….how much do you squat? Because your quads are literal tree trunks.
