I see my name getting thrown around a lot around here! haha! I kind of disappeared for a while there I thought people forgot about me. Beetard, long time no see, or hear anything for that matter.

Upper body timing is far more superior than lower body anything, any old day of the week considering that's what ejects the disc. To answer the OP, if I were to choose one or the other; snap is the most important thing. Snap = power/distance/control.

That's what anybody tries to do when I look at video's in the past and present, or articles or whatever. Mr. Ellis has done some of those himself.

That's the almighty X-Factor (Chaos Theory) isn't it? In which something can not be measured. i agree Mr. Wyno! General realistic expectations in this thread is learning by the "book", the great fundamentals before going for that frustrating path of trial and error in the realm of advanced...

There we go! I personally dig his music. It is a good way to get your music out there just throw it in a Disc Golf video.

It is actualy a song from a local group "Buffalo Alice" written by Alex Aaron, the same man who did this video but I do not know the song title unfortunately. I am putting with KC Aviars. Yeah I have not been doing much of anything with DG lately, I was traveling a little bit last year but...

Oh geez how could I forget! Happy New Year!!!

Agreed, I just do these exercises to avoid long term injury and keep my body in shape and more consistent with my throw. There is really no good reason to "not" workout in my opinion. I just basically use a hand exerciser and clamp down short quick bursts as opposed to slowly closing your hand...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pj6kpdnYJzc Here you go BrotherDave, this is a vanity video "MyThrow" shot last year and it has some angles and an overhead shot (1:58) including one in slow motion at 2:04. Sorry it took so long!

I am learning a lot about my throw in this thread, funny I have not seen Blake post this thread to begin with. Of course it has been about a year since I have been fully active on this site due to life's busy chores. Cat, my muscles are freaky because I do a lot of wrist pushups ;) nah, I do a...

also, when practicing everything, it is important to do it from a standstill until you cant go anywhere else with your timing, then start slow adding a step here and there.

lol oh you guys!

this problem is OAT cause because you may be gripping too firmly too early. you have to basically grip firmly at the point of the "pound" (release). just like when they teach you to punch in boxing. that last second twitch that closes your hand.

the wrist will bend keeping your grip and pull fluid throughout, but that is not the difficult part. the difficult part that most people fail to do is opening the wrist completely at the end to release the disc and fling it out of the hand after the wrist extension takes place. the wrist can...
