Using the most advanced disc golf disc to improve my form?! 🧐 (TECH DISC SERIES EPISODE 1)

Today, we’re exploring the benefits of the Tech Disc - a tool for any disc golfer looking to perfect their form. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned player, the Tech Disc provides immediate insights into your throws. For me, I'm trying to improve my accuracy and consistency, follow along if you'd like to see that journey!
Here are the areas the Tech Disc can measure:
Spin
Speed
Wobble
Hyzer angle
Launch angle
Nose Angle

Learned a lot! Great video Jo and Cam 👌

Very cool. You might find my video showing 10 different throws where I adjust the nose angle on each a different way to be interesting and give you some ideas. Would be cool to see hear if you try any of them and what happened. Great presentation of your thoughts too. A few things that stood out to me from what you said (I'm still learning a lot too so take this for what it's worth). I'd recommend tying something to a higher spot on the net to focus on aiming higher for increasing launch angle, I've found that to be really useful. You might need to put down a marker to plant closer to the net though so you don't feel worried about accidentally throwing over the net. This is what I did when working on nose angle because I wanted to make sure I could actually throw nose down with higher launch angles where it's more needed. For the X step "crow hop" and verticality vs horizontal: Lots of people get more power by being more vertical because they get easier access to power from gravity on their weight coming back down into the brace so it might not be bad for you. Idk which FPO players do this but Garrett Gurthie is an MPO example (he also crow hops and so does McBeth and Wysocki). The hop also makes it harder to lean back because you are more committed to forward momentum and leaning back a bit too much is such a common problem (I have it too). If you draw a vertical line up from your back foot during peak reach back, most big distance thrower's have only their elbow-down crossing this line. If you stop the crow hop, it would be interesting to keep an eye on that to see if it changes.

Great video! Little tip that helped me out with the launch angle was to raise up the net. When I was throwing I would aim at the center of the net without thinking about it. When the center is below the release point I was consistent at throwing with a negative angle.

[@Iliyena87]

Here to write something like this!!! Many a creator throwing into a net have at some point commented that their launchangle due to the aimpoint for the center of the net is low or negative. Which makes it important to try a raised net outside as well to see that the rest of the form follows changing the aimpoint!

Great video Jo! Well edited Cam, really impressive

[@johendersondiscgolf]

Thanks Andy! This one was really fun to make, Cam steps it up every time!

[@nicholasmoreno7904]

Great self analysis. Can you show us your flight lines after each throw (from the computer). You are definitely reaching back as opposed to coiling your body. Do you feel it in your glute, core, back when you coil? Definitely need to get that brace foot down before you start the throw that is slowing down your arm speed. I’d recommend slowing down when you run up and concentrating on hitting that brace as you fully coil and then explode your weight from the back leg into the brace leg. Keep up the good work, can’t wait to see you on tour!

[@johendersondiscgolf]

Yes, this!! Thank you for sharing this- I might have a whole new list of things to work on 😅 thanks for putting it into words for me!

[@joemckay5]

It looks from the camera angle that you're throwing slightly downhill. I would try throwing it into the net at different locations and see if that changed the launch angle data any. Might as well have as big a sample size as possible.

[@johendersondiscgolf]

Not a bad idea. There was a slight decline for sure. Thanks for that insight!

[@TheMakki]

Great vid! Your reach back is just way too early is why your foot is opening so much. Wait a few seconds longer through the last step of the x step until you reach back and coil.

[@TekcorFPV]

great video, it looks like you're pulling from low to the centre chest and then going down again?

[@johendersondiscgolf]

I’ll watch it back again to clarify, but you could be correct- thanks for the observation!

[@christiankoller6533]

Great video! It must be great to have a Tech disc to improve. But isn't it the case that you aren't fully braced before you are throwing? What I mean by that is that I think that there is still some weight on your back foot when you start to pull through. At least it looks like that. Additionally, shouldn't it be the case that the right hip turns backwards because of the plant foot hits the ground and the arm fires through after that? Because by the time your front foot hits the ground you are almost in the power pocket instead of being in the full reach back. Look at Gannon Buhr in this video. (kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6nddnZnjtSoedE ; 2:01 time) All his weight is on the plant foot and his hip almost pointing forward by the time he starts pulling through. These are only thoughts though and I really only want to be helpful and i don't want to insult you or to seem like I know everything better.

[@johendersondiscgolf]

Thanks for this feedback! I’ll be checking this out and I’ll try to incorporate these tips into future videos!

For the record you don't need "perfect" form to throw a 400 foot grip locked shank :)
