Mid back and drive side hip tightness here. Classic over the top thrower here. Starting to feel like giving up this sport after many years. Really hate being tight after throwing. Fellas throw like crazy and the back is never sore. I can do the catch the weight compactly with my right hip...
Indeed. The disc is fkd. It just feels absolutely nuts that someone can bomb a 600 foot golf shot with a backhand. I can catch almost every sport thats played with a bat or stick or ball relatively quick but not the disc golf backhand. I love the sport but absolutely hate the pain and...
Yes that Mike Malaska video is exactly what I mean. He controls the speed of the club with the intensity of the hip/core action. Now I need a golf stick lol. Hockey is hard to compare because it requires so much more force as you have to use significant core and upper body force to bend the...
I dont know if this is a relevant question but how much distance in a bh throw is the violent crush of the can and core torque? I feel like the harder I shoot a puck the faster and more violently I do the weight shift. Its more sudden so to speak. Is it the same thing with a disc? I threw a...
Great response! Thank you! I will go through it properly later.
Here's a small reflection of a drill I did. I did some experimenting with a floorball stick and a lacrosse ball. I put the sort of heavy ball on the blade of the stick and tried to throw it to the backhand side. I think the stick...
Yes the right arm is fairly passive on a slapper. I think I got it down what sidewinder said in the swedish badfish video. I have to use my left shoulder as a counter weight for the elbow hinge. Push it down and back. And that can be done by raising the off arm shoulder up. I actually do a...
Yes I have tried everything. I have to swing my both arms to feel the weight. Hockey is easy. The stick is heavy and you need pretty much everything from your body to put a move on that heavy puck. I tried to smash a one handed tennis bh as well but couldnt do it properly. Any suggestions for...
The hockey shot feels like I'm going forward and not sideways. I assume a frisbee throw needs to be sideways. But then again I think of a baseball swing. I'd only turn away from the very last second. It's so frigging hard when the object weighs 175 grams and is thrown one handed. That messes up...
IMO Garrett Gurthies throw looks a lot like a hockey shot. Not 1:1 but there are alot of similarities. GG streches and loads up from his center of gravity and comes down hard. Most pro throws are more horizontal(left side streches towards the target and right side away from it). In GG's throw...
I can shoot a hockey puck relatively hard and it looks good on video. The rotation is very good and balanced, my shoulders and arms are loose and the position feels very much loaded. The sequence is very good as well, crush the can, very compact brace and boom the stick comes lagging behind...
Well said. Theres plenty of 1020-1030 rated very good golfers that lack that something to win. Guys like Paul, Ricky, Eagle, Calvin, Chris ,
and even Josh Anthon usually play better with pressure. Perhaps I could even add Adam Hammes to that list. They have that something what it takes to win...
Try the good old slapper with a hockey stick. Think about what you are doing. Go through the motion. You will find out that you have to lean against the ground. You should feel pressure in your butt and ready to crush the can under your right heel. Thats where the shift and brace come from...
Yeah thanks man! Turns out that my old tv is not an internet enabled device but has a chromecast attached to it. Another option is to watch it at friend's place that has a newer smart tv.
