Strats for lefties?

[DiscRook18]

Hi everyone I'm a new player to the game and have been steadily progressing as a player. I'm looking to take it to the next level, but everything I read on more advanced strategies and techniques is geared for righties. Should I just be taking any advance said and flip it or what? Or does anyone have any good advice for a lefty?


Thanks for the help

Jimi Hendrix used a righty guitar but played lefty. Just flip it.

Yeah discs work the same way for lefties, just mirrored. Don't be scared to ask if you need something cleared up.

As a lefty, I can easily say most average and below average courses are designed around RHBH throwers. So my tip for DiscRook is to learn your anhyzer release and understable discs.

Understable Disc suggestions:
Driver: Sidewinder 165g
Fairway: Leopard 170g
Midrange: Stingray 170g
Putter: (Gateway) Magic 172g

If you're mildly capable of throwing forehand, practice it as well. I have zero forehand skills, which i hate.

As a lefty as well, i would concur with this assesment. I use the Stingray for most of my shots

As a lefty only " seasoned" player, I agree with this statement.
Most disc golf players are right handed, and most disc golf course designers are arrogant and self serving. What this means is you will usually find more disc golf holes that curve right to left.
This is hard for a lefty to throw well. Anhyzer throws are hard to master, but will help you on most courses.

Best advice I can give you is learn to throw forehand. This will allow you to more easily follow all the preferred right hand lines to the pin.

If you can throw both forehand and backhand well, you will fear no line.

I'm in that same boat, and I'll agree that the Sidewinder/Stingray combination is effective for courses requring alot of righty hyzers.

If anyone ever plays a round with me, you will hear me mutter at least once, "I wish I had a forehand."
