Good tutorial!

Great vid. I throw darts with a Thumber inside 320, been wanting to more distance on it. Also looking to start throwing the Tomahawk this year. Thanks for showing multiple discs as well, I've been using a Raptor because for me the power for distance is the same as throwing a baseball. I just pretend I'm throwing it in from the outfield.

Great video. I have never tried the tomahawk, I will give it a try this weekend. When I saw your video, I thought what can I learn. I didn't realize how much technique was involved in the tomahawk.

This is a really good video. Not a shot I use or plan to use, however, I should have a clue- and now I do.

Thanks for the explanation, very well done. Next to Jake Wolf, whoI noticed also commented, this is the best model and description I've found on the overhand. I to am a "stock shot" thumber guy, (you're tomahawk) but I love seeing the more natural overhand motion from an obvious ball player, I hope you'll consider making more videos on specific shot(s), broken down to angles, discs, speeds, situations. Again, you did a great job and did us overhand guys proud. Hope to play a round with you one day.

Not trying to be combative, but having some knowledge of biomechanics I wanted to clarify a little about the UCL. The strain on that ligament is from the elbow leading in front of the forearm. It’s a good and bad thing, because it’s part of the whip you are trying to create with a throwing motion. More lag means more whip once the elbow stops, but it also means more strain. So it’s not good to bad, just a thing that requires consideration when you throw anything. This is true of softball underhand throws as well, but the velocities are much lower and the action on the shoulder is a little different. It’s also why velocity is the biggest predictor of UCL injury in kids, not whether they’re throwing fastballs or offspeed (another big but common myth). Hopefully this helps in the thought process for anyone watching, and I appreciate your video! Warming up is huge, whether you do that by stretching or lots of easy dynamic movement.

Not combative at all I agree with everything said! All about keeping people healthy and on the course!

96mph! That's gotta be approaching the fastest human-thrown speed for a disc

@jwoellhof 2 ай бұрын

arch back, point belly button at target, use your abs to throw as much as possible. second nature to you, but others that didn't pitch in college could use that info.

@joshth37 2 ай бұрын

Agreed I’d say make sure to activate the lower body too to take some work off your arm!

Feel like thumbers are more comfy for me as I feel like I can control the pan a lot better and feel like the disc is more controlled and not as cork screwey. any tips for getting my Tommy to finish left harder ? Maybe I’m to over the top but the things never wants to pan and finish for me

@ClintRihnDiscGolf 2 ай бұрын

From Josh's advice, a more understable disc or a less vertical angle should flip quicker and therefore finish more left of the target.

@joshth37 2 ай бұрын

Yes, I’d recommend a more flippy disc or getting the disc more towards the 10 o’clock release angle!

Thx for the video. This was a great starting point for me to learn the tomahawk.

@steelomogpresents8885 2 ай бұрын

For the life of me I cannot throw forehand. So frustrating. The biggest drawback to even trying to throw like this, for me, is the fact that the course I play has so many trees. There would be zero opportunity to use it...but boy do I wish I could throw something that moves left to right!!

@joshth37 2 ай бұрын

We have tons of trees where I play in the south. I use it a ton for control shots or hitting tight fairways, just can’t release it as high for me!

@electrophonicusersguide5020 28 күн бұрын

This is a very good tutorial but once dude said he got 94mph with a tomahawk I was like yeah not for me. He’s putting it within fifteen feet from 400+. I’m getting it within 150’ from 400+, hopefully.

@joshth37 28 күн бұрын

Not everyone is going to be able to get that big distance but the basics are the same. Hope the video helped!

Why would your Dr recommend tennis for an already existing elbow issue? Tennis is terrible on the elbows. Prob the last thing you want to do to heal an elbow. I'd look for a new Dr

@johnjenkins9445 2 ай бұрын

that struck me a well, but i guess one could argue that tennis is much less stressful than pitching

@gardenstateflatlandb 2 ай бұрын

@johnjenkins9445 I was a pitcher for 10 years and rarely had any issues that some ice afterwards couldn't alleviate. I played tennis for about 2 years and my elbow was constantly throbbing no matter what I did. Only way to rid my tennis elbow was to stop for a while. Not saying one is better or worse for an elbow, but neither is good for healing an existing elbow injury. Oddly enough, I haven't had pain in 2 years of Disc Golf. Some fatigue, especially early on, but never pain. I miss baseball, but probably too old to get back into it now, so Disc Golf fills that spot. Still get to throw stuff. I'd still advise lookinh for another dr who doesn't prescribe tennis as an elbow healing sport tho. Lol.

You don’t want the muscles and tendons to get weak with inactivity. A big part of physical therapy is actually strengthening those little muscles. As long as one isn’t trying to swing a tennis racquet like a pro, some light swings would be a good motion.

@gardenstateflatlandb 2 ай бұрын

@@HARwinsOUTagainI totally agree with the "use it or lose it" addage. If tennis is the rehab of choice, perhaps staying away from Poly strings would be best. Maybe something with more give like Gut or Synthetic gut type strings would help absorb impact better?

@kooziemon6955 Ай бұрын

I just noticed he's not very accurate until he throws long shots?

@joshth37 Ай бұрын

Just a long day of travel/throwing and lack of focus. I live in/play mostly in the woods in south Alabama. Gotta be accurate in those short distances with our tight fairways and low ceilings to succeed.
