    Guy tries really hard to throw far

    Hello, So, I invested in a radar gun and found out I am throwing around 60-65mph. Not terrible but I'm really hoping to be able to break 70mph. Distance-wise, throws would go around 450'-500'. Conditions were pretty calm today and I was throwing on flat ground. If I could get into the...

    Quest for better form

    You think planting more vertically rather than horizontally would help remedy this?

    Review by Alyjos in course Haslet Community Park

    3.00 star(s) Great practice spot for beginners and advanced players alike The course is mostly well maintained. The grass, weeds and general overgrowth are consistently trimmed to provide a very easy course to navigate. Despite its lack of any heavily wooded holes, the park still is able to make pretty good...

    Looking for Pro In San Antonio for Lessons

    From what I understand, Bradley Williams is one of the best DG coaches around.

    Distance breakthrough today, is my arm speed good?

    Practice with putters and midranges to get angle control down. Practice with drivers to get trajectory. (or max distance) Practice with whatever gets you to the pin. The exit velocity of the disc directly correlates with form. Whatever you did, got you over your plateau! Congrats. I would be...

    Quest for better form

    Today I finished an 18 hole round and proceeded to step onto a very nice looking field. Super wide, long, not an obstacle in sight. It was a perfect field for throwing any line your heart desired, which is rare when you're living in the heart of DFW like I do. I throw some drives. The disc rips...

    Quest for better form

    Guess it's time to slow it down and figure this out.

    Quest for better form

    ZsRiEvt5EVg Pretty sure I've added a little distance, but I'm not exactly getting an effortless 450 ft hyzer yet. Some things are confusing here. If I swing the disc exactly as I would pull a hammer, I seem to get a little more distance. Let me elaborate. Rather than keeping my arm loose the...

    Quest for better form

    I took sidewinder's advice here and it lead to a revelation. If I let my arm go almost completely limp (save for my supporting shoulder of course) it seems like I get a ton more snap on the disc at the end (like a hammer is forcing its way out of my hand, tugging on my shoulder). Is this what...

    Quest for better form

    There's definitely something off about how I'm shifting my body while I'm settling into my brace. Do I need to keep my center of gravity back and put less ground force on my brace in order to achieve this? It also looks as though I'm opening my hips before my right foot touches the ground. My...

    Quest for better form

    What causes a good 'Knee drop' effect and how can one achieve this? Noticing that pros' left knees sort of collapse behind them when they brace.

    Quest for better form

    I'm back. Took a hiatus from formwork to play and enjoy disc golf competition, however, not being able to out throw everyone has left a sour taste in my mouth. Now I'm looking at crunch time here. I wanna get back out into the field and keep playing, but I've got to learn and master these new...

    Quest for better form

    So is there a definite point in which you turn your shoulders into the throw? Kind of like folks talk about how your arm should be full extension as your front toe touches the ground, is there a landmark where you can gather the most recoil while coming out of the backswing?

    Quest for better form

    The first shot is Midrange, Second and third are putters. Last few shots are drivers. I appear to be wet in my video. It was raining earlier, it's about 94 degrees out where I am and very humid, so, I apologize. txtzJj1b8z4
