I am a beginner and I spend most of my time searching for my disc that I'd just sent into the woods accidentally

[@Latitude64]

This I can relate to! /Jonathan

[@bmhcrazyguy1]

This is why I pick the brightest colors when looking for a disc. 😂

[@snufkin4568]

@@bmhcrazyguy1 OP is a 2 year old comment lol, but yeah agreed. I just started, spent 40 minutes today looking for a couple discs. by the time I found them both I was ready to call it for the day. no more throwing in the woods. Just practiced puts and threw a couple in the field and went home. Always gotta buy neon colors lol. A tip : If you're not seeing it, you probably didn't throw it that far. lol That was the moral of the story today, I spent so much time looking for the disc WAY further than i actually threw it. It usually comes back when it chops to the side too.

[@69ronelson]

I started playing back in 1987, and I still end up in the woods…!😂 I hope you’re having fun!

[@LifeIsJustLiveIt]

Every person that's learning (like me) should watch all of Latitude 64 videos every 3 month or so. I watched this 4 months ago and was overwhelmed, now it makes sense.

[@Latitude64]

Cheers, Bill :)

[@ChrisDeer-d5q]

I've been playing for about 7years and after applying 1 thing from this video I threw about 75ft further than I normally do and more accurate. Thanks for the video.

[@jeepthang72]

What was the one thing?

[@ChrisDeer-d5q]

I was Turing my head to look after pulling back. Now I look back and as I pull through I follow the disc in my hand with my eyes and trust my initial line up before I begin the throw. The disc is making the pop noise every time it leaves my hand now.

I appreciate the detail provided. Many of the video tutorials I’ve watched lack as much of the questions of why this technique or that works.

[@jonreiser2206]

Maybe it would have happened anyway, but after watching a couple of your videos I scored 6 under. That’s a solid 4 points better than usual. I believe the coaching made the difference.

Nice. Can we please have an updated "in the bag" video from Tomas? I always find it very interesting to see what discs he uses since he is the one who designs them.

Maybe :). The idea was to have a bit of an "in the bag" segment in this video but it didn´t fit the over all structure of the content. But we´ll look into it for sure. /Jonathan

[@isaks3243]

I got into disc golf just over a week ago through a friend and it is freaking amazing! it is super fun and also super relaxing at the same time. I played one game with his discs and then another game just a couple days later with discs he recommended me to buy because it was both a great deal and good beginner discs. but I didn't have any knowledge on how to do it and he is also quite new so he isn't what you would call a pro either. I'll go to the nearest course on saturday so I can get some practice and I hope for some decent weather so I can go down to the field and do some practice throws tomorrow. it is terribly rainy here today.

[@Latitude64]

Welcome to the sport! Hope the rain clears. / Johannes

[@isaks3243]

@@Latitude64 thank you very much. The rain cleared and I went out for half an hour throwing practice with a mid range disc and the difference was night and day. Before watching this video was it just a game of luck if my disc went where I wanted it to go, now can I hit with ±3 meters accuracy left right but I still have to practice how far I throw.

I am an older guy, 56, and have micro tears and slight bone spurs in both shoulders….but I refuse to give up on trying to be the best player I can be. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I am naturally a forehand thrower but this really aggravates my shoulder, so I’m trying to learn how to properly throw my backhand. But I have little to no power behind it and my aim is awful lol.

[@TanjaGlittenberg]

Hello you two. I came in contact with disc golf a couple of years ago while I was living in the UK. I enjoyed it but was pretty bad at it since no one really showed me the ropes. After 4 years, I bought myself a few discs again and today I practiced a bit on a huge field. First few throws were awful but with every try the discs began to fly more and more straight even though it was pretty windy. I still can't get much distance but I am already happy to be able to get the disc to go in the direction I want it to go. So a HUGE THANK YOU for this fantastic video!

[@Zzz8363]

the more of these things you do, the more people will watch both due to the growth in the sport and your outstanding personality and presentation style. Keep up the fantastic work, and I loved your visit to America vid. MORE MORE MORE :)

Hey Guys~! Got my first disc set for Christmas. A few days went to a close course and totally sucked~! But then I found your videos about throwing on a line and keeping your arm at your elbow height. i went to a local soccer field today just to try your techniques... I was throwing 4 times farther already and throwing straight on target as well~! I even got a little bit of Hyzer right then left fade action~! It was very satisfying~! Just wanted to say thank you for the info~! Not sure if you're still active making vids or not, but I'll keep seeking them out~!

Similar to my stand still midrange throws except my right plant foot is pointed rearward at approx. 8 o’clock. Sometimes when max power is needed my foot is rearwards at 7 o’clock. Great vid!

Hey David I'm glad you enjoyed it. We made a video about the run up but not the cross step in particular. Let me know if you felt that there was something missing if you're interested in watching that video. Have a nice day! /Jonathan

In the woods I like to use a maverick / truth or explorer depending on how much fade or turn I want. Looks like Jonathan is coming along that tunnel shot was pretty nice!

[@Latitude64]

Thank you :) /Jonathan

[@SPINNINGMYWHEELS777]

what I would also add to this excellent video is - don't throw it like a frisbee. I was doing that and I was getting results as if my disc was constantly over stable. Pretty much ANY disc I tried was like that (except of course a wham-o frisbee) I was having fun games with people with my frisbee and they were using golf Discs and I was doing pretty darn good with the frisbee.. on par with some more experienced disc golfers.. so that's what got me into investing 'legit' Golf Discs.. The guys I was playing with were actually very surprised at what I was doing with the normal Toy frisbee. LOL - it's a different mind set to the game, surely some will understand what I mean. ... To explain how I was throwing ... I mean doing the coil of the disc into your arm pit. I was getting good power and distance at times with the Golf Disc.. ..but faded huge. I was scratching my head like..this does not correlate to the numbers on this. Then I found out I wasn't extending my arm - and that was a game changer. sitting here.. I can't remember if I look forward while I throw... I'll keep that in mind next time. Excellent series of videos. Thanks from Southern Ontario Canada.

[@johnswoodgadgets9819]

I am a 67 year old guy that has been playing disc golf for only a year now. Pay attention to the guys in the video , because this is what I have learned: Hyzer, anhyzer, 400 foot drives, 60 foot putts, all very nice. But if you throw straight and flat, and that is all you can do, you will win more often than you will lose. If you doubt this, play against a guy throwing baseballs instead of disks. Try it. It is... Enlightening.

[@jamesgregersen7299]

I really like how you explain everything, thank you for the video!

[@yamahschector]

Nice video. I am hating throwing right hand now because of my baseball background and a thing called the crow hop. As an outfielder the crow hop helped with distance throws with the left foot forward. I am new and because of baseball I am so use to loading with my left foot. Next time out I am going to compare my left bs right hand throw. I am betting my left will be more controlled and after a few throws it will put preform my right

[@Lankybrit52]

Great tips. Any advice for me. I’m standstill and can’t follow through because of a bad right knee. I guess I can only use my shoulders, arm, and wrist for power with some movement from from my back foot to front.
