RHFH help

[climbingkid]

ok, when i first started out (about a year and a half ago) all i threw was a forhand drive. it took a few months to build up but eventually i could do what i wanted with it (as far as beginners go) but later my main throw changed to the typical RHBH which has developed nicely. Now I'm coming back to the RHFH so i can be ready for any kind of shot, but now it seems all i can do is turn it over so it goes left. the only way i could stop my self from doing this is holding my wrist before i throw and even shaking it back in forth, but this is silly and impractical and does not make me confident in my ability. Hopefully someone here can give me a few tips on not turning the disc over every time i decide to drive with a forehand.
As for disc preference, I mostly use a champion Valkyrie (which is what i originally started with) and a blizzard boss but can only get consistently correct shots out of the boss anymore.

P.S. anyone with some forehand approach tips, help there would be appreciated as well as im finding myself more and more on the left side of the fairway after a forehand drive.

you are probably rolling your wrist over

try not throwing as "hard"

be smooth with a "steely wrist stop"

[McBurdy]

Try keeping your palm facing up/towards sky through the shot. The Boss is coming back because its really overstable. Try a Buzzz for the approaches.

DGM 95 - Pro Player Clinic, Sarah Hokum gives a good sidearm tutorial.

The TLDR of her segment is keep the palm up, lead with side of hand, karate chop style.

The TLDR of his tutorial is keep palm up all the way through follow through, elbow close to the body during the throwing motion.

I had the same thing happen to me.
Originally, I threw with a one finger grip because it was the most comfortable for me and I was having decent success.
I switched to two and it flattened it out a lot more and gave me more control.
The "palm up" tip also helps immensely.
Overthrowing leads to bad form and less distance.
Most of the FH distance comes from the elbow down.

I like throwing forehands with overstable to stable discs. I think the Valkyrie would be way too understable for a good forehand driver. If you're still having trouble with stable discs, try something more overstable like a Banshee or a Predator.

I don't like the "palm up" approach, I usually throw with the palm out toward the target a little more, about 45 degrees upright.

If you want to hyzer the disc a bit to get it to go straight or to the right, just extend or bend your wrist down a bit to get the edge of the disc down.

Lastly, bend over at the waist a bit and make sure you're not throwing standing completely upright.

I like to use a Z Buzzz or Evo Wizard for approaches and I need to relase them with a slight hyzer.

For approach forehands with putters/mids its best to slow everything down. Don't get a run up with a putter or mid range, it will put way too much momentum behind it and it will turn over just about every time. When I approach with a forehand I normally throw either a buzzz/zone/challenger and I will start them on a hyzer because I have enough snap on it to flip up and fly straight.

For your drives basically try to keep your arm in tight and not sling it around everywhere, I see this a lot with new players. They think the more arm they can get into it the farther it will go, you want to focus on a good smooth release. Smooth = far

If you've thrown fh before getting back into it is pretty easy. For me it just took a week of throwing fh putters from 50'-100' in warm ups.
As for approaches, the split finger grip worlds much better than the stacked grip. Just put your middle finger on the rim and index finger pointing straight towards the center.

The way you grip the disc doesn’t matter as much as your form. Ive seen soo many different grips on forehands. The people that have good form can forehand good, regardless of their grip. Ive seen the split finger grip, stacked two finger, one finger (how I forehand), the two finger grip where both fingers are touching the rim, and even three fingers stacked. It’s whatever feels more comfortable
