Critique My Throwing

This is my drive on a bout 325' hole. I ended up turning a teerex over almost into a river... I do it a lot to my cro also. Both of the discs are supposed to be overstable so I dunno what I am doing. Any help you can give me will be most appreciated.

Let me guess, you have a tendency to have your discs go left a little more than you think they should. I would also guess based on your reaction that the disc went a little higher than you wanted. In general however it looks pretty good.

The first thing that I would say is do not grab your disc with both hands during your run up. This has a tendency to make the disc come out a little earlier than a good rip will bring it out. It could also be the reason that the disc comes out a bit higher than you were intending as well.

I used to have a very similar approach, where I would grab my disc with both hands. As awkward as that first throw felt when I consciously worked on not grabbing my disc with my non throwing hand, I feel that it has made a significant difference at this point in my game.

Oops, guess I was wrong (I forgot to read your whole post). The next thought I have for you is with your snap. Unfortunately it is really hard to slow down and look at that aspect on YouTube. This may be your grip as well. I would look at YouTube videos on grips and find something that you like. Still work on the non throwing hand as well. I also have a snap that tends to put some last minute anhyzer on the disc and I am guessing you are doing just about the same thing.

As far as overstable discs go, when they get beat in they can be just as flippy as anything out there.

they are both new discs...

I haven't had a chance to look at your throw but if you find you're turning everything over regardless of stability then you are probably putting a lot of OAT on your throws (specifically wrist roll under).

You should see an improvement if you try to focus on keeping your arm on a straight plane through your entire throw.

edit: should be wrist roll over

Your getting nose up, and your not getting great hip rotation.


The first part is the same problem I have. There are several videos you can find on youtube and discgolfreview talking about it.

The second seems to stem from your run-up. The below video has some great advice for that.
