Tick Tick... BOOM! (THE RHYTHM and TIMING OF SIMON LIZOTTE)

Feel the rhythm Feel the rhyme Get on up It's Disc Golf time!

[@RolfeynatoR]

Your channel is my disc golf bible. My practice is now a cycle of watching, practicing form without discs, trying it out (and often still failing) on the course, filming myself from time to time and then rewatching certain videos. I notice a steady amd gradual improvement and I thank you for it!

[@dgspindoctor]

That is the way to practice, man! Good to hear this.

[@marshin7237]

@@dgspindoctorI think you’re the first channel to get me to understand the basics of the backhand. Overthrow is a close second.

[@dgspindoctor]

Then I have succeeded. Thanks!

[@marion1600]

I agree on this one. Concentrating on the rhythm is the best way to get the timing right

[@fcarbone1966]

I love how you're using your musical training, experience, and ear to observe and interpret this explosive athletic movement. You are providing an intuitive approach to learning the most efficient and effective form that is unique in the landscape of disc golf instruction. Your approach speaks powerfully to both my engineering and artistic minds. Insightful and elegant. Thank you!

[@johnnyhotkeyz]

This is brilliant. Thank you for articulating this as you have. You’re clearly tapping into the art and beauty of the disc golf form. “Listen to the rhythm.” It’s so simple, yet so sophisticated. Totally next level.

[@sokn9573]

one of the best disc golf channel, thank you for your time!!!!

[@joshuasmith9528]

Now that I’m starting to figure this aspect, out, I’m able to start learning my discs. I got tired of injuring my elbow, bicep, and shoulder, so I learned to focus on the pocket and the release. I’ve been playing on and off for 30 years, but just now, am I learning proper form, the mindset, and how to work smarter and not harder.

[@rickeylivingston7252]

I've been playing disc golf about 4 years, that's 4 years of garbage teaching videos, top out at about 300 ft, I'm 54 years old, been watching your videos for about 1 months, I'm now throwing over 400, thank you so much!!!!! I'm only watching your videos from now on!!! Freeking Brilliant!!!!

[@dgspindoctor]

Thanks for the view, and THANK YOU for telling me this! These success stories are what keep me going!

[@CurrySoSpicy]

One thing that helped me and may help others. I envisioned the reach back as playing a fighting video game. You press “A” to charge your attack. The reachback is your holding “A”. Once your front leg is in position to brace you are releasing “A” to do your special move/charged attack. That help me with my rhythm. Envision the loading bar.

[@dgspindoctor]

I LOVE this!

[@CurrySoSpicy]

@@dgspindoctor thanks brother! Hopefully it helps someone!

[@BrianFrankson-mt7hc]

What an excellent video. Thank you, such a creative approach to explaining the rhythm of throwing.

[@J-Swan]

Tonight on the Techdisc I saw a 10% increase on speed (peaking 57mph) with a RHBH standstill throw thanks largely to your instruction. Thanks, Coach- you rock.

[@dgspindoctor]

Amazing! Thank you for telling me!

[@50StichesSteel]

Best way I've ever heard it described..All other movements mean nothing unless you are in tune with that point in time and space with your own body. It's slightly different for just about everybody..That's why you can't really teach distance until AFTER you find your own timing spot. You'll just wake up one day after throwing a bunch and can suddenly rip a disc 500. You're not gonna go from 150 to 500..But you will notice big jumps in distance the closer you get...The best way is to get 40 discs and just go focus on finding that timing point where you get more distance with less effort.

[@moecantileverjr]

This is good information. 👍 I felt this today.

[@larrog8413]

Lately, I've been focusing on exploding at the very last moment. I thought about it.. Simon Lizotte played a wet disc round with Casey White, and had no problem with grip. I figured this must be due to his form. So lately, I've been playing rounds in the rain, and early morning without a towel. From what I noticed, you absolutely must have perfect timing, if you throw a wet disc.

[@vvndgfriba]

Hyviä videoita teet, kiitos siitä!! Olisiko mahdollista kehitellä jonkinlaista sarjaa, jossa opetellaan alusta asti heittämään tai uudistamaan tekniikka. Mukana voisi olla joku aloittelija. Veikkaisin, että tällaiselle olisi paljon kysyntää :)

[@dgspindoctor]

On pitänyt jo pitkään. Ehkä ensi vuoden projektiksi!

[@wilfredoriverajr.]

[@tapanilansio8091]

Rhytm is the THING...

[@thomaswinzy]

with this in mind you can REALLY see it when watching Eric Oakley. its all a big windup to the finale, the crescendo, the beatdrop

[@Jonse70]

I'm new to disc golf, and probably a bit confused.. so many tutorials with different things to focus on. I must say that this short, and seemingly simple instruction, really makes more sense to me than most if not everything else I've watched of late. Disc golf made into dance steps, what's not to like 😁 I'll give it a try. If it works I'll subscribe 😉

[@_moses_980]

I love how you are doing more english vids. But also the mother tongue is nice too.

[@themoonbubble]

Do it all in mother tongue….give me the cc This channel just got me to 400’ Playing 25 rec After 2years of weekly work to remove bad habits and one sentence from this channel made something click 3 days ago I threw 400’ and then repeated it…

[@bradleyhcobb]

​@@themoonbubbleDon't leave us hanging... what was the sentence?

[@teeeeeeeemu]

I can feel the beat Feel the beat, feel the beat I can feel the beat Feel the beat, feel the beat…

[@JinGalactica]

The perfect X step, the perfect grip and shoulder turn do NOT mean a thing if you don't have your rhythm down. Like you said, gotta have like this musical rhythm. For me I usually start for my RHBH -> left foot first, then boom boom and BOOM. After awhile you don't even think of it. That's the point - after awhile the rhythm comes naturally. Took me over 3 months to get mine down.

[@dgspindoctor]

It's taken me 22 years, and still figuring it out! 😋

[@JinGalactica]

@@dgspindoctor yeah, make no mistake, I still suck at putting and forehand. Just good to get something down before that part of the game is worked on 😂

[@smileyboy2700]

I never thought about beats when trying to fix timing. Hopefully thinking of music beat will automatically fix my timing issue without me thinking when to throw the disc.

[@Ihminen]

Everything is music, music is vibration and Simons new disc is...

[@SituAsian]

Mind bender 🔥

[@SONICBOOMERSOONER]

I'm coming to the conclusion that is the most important tip of all

[@eetusalovaara7805]

Terkkuja serkun koirille! Niin ja olihan tämä hyvä videokin!👌🏼

[@Postermaestro]

Very good video. Noone has figured out what exactly happens yet. And even if you do, it's not possible to consciously control your body to complete the movement. I also strongly believe this more hollistic approach to teaching definitely gets people further (pun i guess), than any forced concepts of "power pockets" or what have you, that are not even accurate to begin with. This sort of rhythm is something simple to keep in mind and it has to be there. It doesnt put restriction on the movement the way incorrect advice can. It's better to say less and let someone explore the solution space than constrain them preventing them from ever finding it.

[@dgspindoctor]

Exactly! I try to give the outlines for the throw and let everybody find their own comfortable way to throw applying those few cues. Even if we all go for the same moves, it's no wonder every one of us is quite easily recognized of our own unique style.

[@gamerguy765]

So I’ve been focusing on the hit , but maybe I’ve imagined the wrong thing but it’s been helping me. I describe it like you have a tall tee (or Tee-ball tee ) at a fixed place that you are swinging your forearm at (like a bat). So at that point your arm is in full extension and the disc will be ejected

[@dgspindoctor]

No, that is EXACTLY the hit, the greatest hit.

[@Geggoo]

Olipa hyvä huomio, musiikkia korville! :) Oma musiikki on alkuun kovin hidas ja ehkä eritahtiin menevä, mutta loppua kohden kiihtyvä. Kunhan sade lakkaa niin menen ulos kuuntelemaan lisää havaintoja.

[@HaikesXO]

I catch myself wanting to move much faster than this.. it’s hard to slow it down but I’ll keep trying 👍🏼

TÄMÄ! heti kun aloin rytmittämään heittoa omat ennätykset alkoivat paukkua. Silloin on niin paljon helpompi tehdä asiat oikeaan aikaan.

[@vetskunhotelli4193]

miten käytännössä rytmitit heittoa?

[@niilo2589]

@@vetskunhotelli4193 vikat 2 tai 3 askelta rytmissä ja joka askeleen tullessa maahan keskittyy aina siihen mitä juuri silloin tapahtuu ja tekee sen selkeästi. Ainakin itse ajattelen sen rytmin sillä tavalla että aina kun jalka osuu maahan ajattelen mielessä jonkun äänen jostain rumpukompista tai jonkun äänähdyksen.

[@crabbyjimmy1]

The speed of the upper arm from elbow to shoulder if you clock the speed it would be the actual launch speed. The lower arm just trails behind it. Start there.

[@dgspindoctor]

Partially true, but this kind of thinking can lead to muscling the shoulder, when you want to be pretty loose. The wrist should be the fastest part until the disc pivots out of your fingers making it even faster.

[@crabbyjimmy1]

@@dgspindoctor I’ve been playing for thirty years now and it’s such a hard process to get the mechanics down . But even though I’m 57’ I’m grinding everyday to find that fluid essence of it. I’ve only felt it once last year in the summer but the speed was incredible with little to no effort at all.

[@dgspindoctor]

Life long learning, man! For me it's year 23 and everyday I learn something, especially now that I'm only teaching and all ly focus is on researching more than playing. But the more I learn, the simpler it gets. I mean, towards the basics of the basics.
