The drag and lift coefficients are dimensionless quantities that get multiplied by values with dimensions (fluid density, fluid velocity, and reference area) to result in a force value in the drag and lift equations, respectively. When working in pure SI units the result would generally be in...
Keeping in mind that I'm still increasing rates as my supply begins to thin out, and wanted to cautiously start on the cheaper end rather than the more expensive end:
-My monthly coaching is at $150 per month (very involved back-and-forth correspondence and 2-4 hours of labor per person per...
Hahaha. I think that should be the expected outcome if I'm being honest. Like @CoachChris said, the 360 takes insane coordination and I can confidently say there are NFL wide receivers that wouldn't easily learn it, and certainly would not look as good as a guy like Wiggins if they did learn it...
That's a great point, have to be realistic with what can be done in the context of the coach-athlete relationship when it's primarily for disc golf form!
Still pinching myself a bit, but the backhand form and fitness coaching have taken off so hard in the past 6 weeks, that I'm now selling out my stake in my software business to my business partner to do the disc golf stuff full-time. Really a dream come true to coach people since sports and...
Something I've been pondering over recently and talking to @Clint Easterly
I like those diagnostic/baseline tests a lot.
Thanks for expanding on your experiences with people as well, that was an interesting read for me.
And in general, I find the motor learning and psychological components...
Thank you for getting back to me on that! It's nice to see some numbers especially since your data pool is quite large and gives good context.
I know remote coaching can't 100% solve every single individual just like in-person coaching can't 100% solve every single individual, but I'm dreaming...
Same here, I'd love to chat about that and our common experiences! I'm bad at thinking of ideas to start convos like that haha, you can message me whenever and I'll be more than happy to talk about the nitty gritty :)
This was very humbly said by you, especially with how successful your YouTube and Patreon coaching business are, and all the great results you have gotten people from what I've seen.
Something that I'm curious to hear about your experiences with online coaching (whether via analysis videos or...
Extremely well said and thank you for posting your CFD data! Super nice to see the Aoa vs. drag especially. I was dreading having to relearn ANSYS to do a golf disc CFD in the future haha (probably just wouldn't have ever gotten around to it).
That was so ridiculous, pretty much a pure golf line and he almost got it to 600. So hard to do and really shows how his spin rate allowed it to hold the shallow turn for a long time without much drift, and the nose stayed more down during the fade to maintain forward velocity.
I think mainly a tighter, lower ceiling s-curve that would be more typically used on the course or could work on medium to open fairways (y) I am not sure on the exact numbers for launch angle unfortunately. I need to check with Clint's tech disc numbers for that
That's an awesome cue, I might play around with it in my practice (for my max power 360s where I struggle with nose angle still). I had been cueing throwing upwards with a downward nose, but it seems that your cue would give a more concrete mental connection to the action because of the visual...
You're welcome! I just love to see a discussion on flight physics here. I think the rest of us wish we could throw more like GG - it's hard to think of someone getting more out of their frame more efficiently (physical body vs. distances thrown). Such a good case study in form and flight...
