I agree, but even knowing this I still sometimes get so focused on positions I end up too tense and lose track of the feels. This reminded me of Blake_t and the "Incomplete" Secret Technique thread...

That you are throwing nose up, which decreases distance. Putters and mids are not as sensitive to this as drivers. To get a feel for the angle a disc prefers to fly on, hold it out of a vehicle as you drive SLOWLY. Do this with putters, mids, and drivers. Also, if you plan to work on your...

I appreciate some of what he brought to the community. His closed shoulder snap drill sure helped my progress. https://youtu.be/LffYBb1vQjQ By the way, Richard Hatton has a helpful tip to go with that drill. https://youtu.be/N696QGOIyec It just became so off-putting that when people who had...

Blake Takkunen is the first I know who used the term rail (not sure if he used wide rail, but I think that is what he described when with about Dan Beato . For those who are unfamiliar with him, you might enjoy looking through the old Disc Golf Review forum...

I just started playing with a small pump and saw Uli's advice in the Scratch to Scratch series. I did not know his timing advice was not quite right and have been incorporating my pump based on it. I did not realize until this thread that I was not doing exactly what he said actually got the...

Hi, my name is Surly, and I am a long-suffering, strong-armer. I try to find anything, anywhere that might help me improve my form. This nugget from one of his videos has stayed with me and done just that: "You're loose. You are so unbelievably loose, and then I bet you are actually still not...

I believe he is Paul Ulibarri's coach, so I hope so. I found him through some of Robbie C's videos. https://youtu.be/Nk372S1HciU ~2:55 . https://youtu.be/jNqh_o5bJ84 https://youtu.be/_jbh94-IXTc https://youtu.be/FQSdCLtWdUg

For one mid rounds, an Aura Thought Space Athletics Pathfinder or a Gold Line Westside Warship work well for me.

PM sent.

After all the reading, watching videos {pros throwing, pros teaching, SW, Overthrow, Slingshot, etc.), practicing, recording my throw, practicing more, I still do not use my core well enough, so these type of threads really interest me. They also confuse me. I know feel ain't real so what some...

Blake_t would agree. He wrote the following in the thread "Disc Golf the secret technique... Almost complete": - most body motions are over-rated. i've found a 20 degree body rotation with no reach back can still yield a 275'+ throw with a small arm twitch and using no leg power. increasing the...

For my average arm, the Chief in base plastic is understable but in Diamond is stable. This makes me wonder whether I am throwing a little noise up.

If you prefer a lower profile like the Pure, you might like a Diamond Chief.

I like Josh's teaching style and videos. I think he is very good at diagnosing and focusing on root causes of form issues and not all the symptoms, which is helping me diagnose my own issues. I have been/tried to be a pour the coffee thrower for 30 plus years and have recently tried supinating...
