By the way, what is that '28-3' ov vich yoo speek? Is that the weight of properly inflated NFL football? opcorn:
28-3
yea, you got it. he had a few putts that "would have gone in if there were chains there!" but guess what dude... they aren't. i was very happy and humbled to have the opportunity to play with him but hearing him trash the course and event repeatedly was not fun
edit: pretty pumped to see that AG is on team discraft now! he seems like a good dude
Big strong young athletic guy with good technique who has probably thrown a lot of baseballs and/or footballs and hockey shots. Massive "reachback" aka shoulder turn, most players lack shoulder turn in reachback. Elbow lead / lower arm lag. Wide/extended arm release and pronated palm down finish. He plants his front foot turned inward notably so it's not pointed open straight to target, so he has something to brace and throw against across his front foot.how does he do it??????????
i would love to see sw22 or someone briefly break down the finer points of this to my untrained eye

None of that "keep the palm to the sky" or "keep the elbow in" t-rex arm non-sense.

now you got me re-evaluating my fh cuz im in the palm up camp....
thank you
While my forehand has a long way to go, as soon as I stopped forcing palm-up it improved 100%.
Seems to me the position of any part of my hand is only important at release.
Eagle's FH kind of reminds me of Randy Johnson's sidearm. I would also love to see the Big Unit throw some discs in his prime, as well as Aaron Rogers and Bubba Watson who both actually play dg.Bingo. I've thrown a few 500-550' forehands, and could only ever throw a baseball in the low to mid 80's. I'd love to see what someone with a 100 mph fastball could do with a 2.5cm-rimmed driver. As this game gets more popular, we might see some really impressive forehand players emerge.
Just thought I would throw this in here:
Jason Cortella - Current FH and OH Distance Record Holder:
"The source of my power in my forehand is from years of playing baseball (I was throwing ~80-85 mph when I stopped playing in high school). A side arm disc golf shot is almost the exact same mechanics as a side arm baseball throw. I would recommend playing catch with a baseball (not sidearm, but don't be afraid to try a few sidearm throws for fun) to really develop your throwing mechanics, and you will see translation into sidearm distance."

Wysocki has great touch, I think he's just more comfortable with overstable discs(makes sense with FH having less spin) and more overhand delivery/arm slot with baseball background.any way you can briefly break down big jerm vs a torque monkey like ricky (presumably)
big jerm seems to have long d with finesse and US discs, whereas ricky torques hella OS discs but also achieves great d
also if this is better on a thread in techniques section ill be happy to relocate this convo (if youre willing to answer)
also a bonus question how does paul or eagle, who to me has about the same style seem to generate such d with the same basic wind up and release
So we thinking Rick will announce on 1/1 and is there any chance its not to Innova?
Kevin Jones said Ricky was going to Salient. Maybe a Salient/Lightning mixed bag?
(yes, I know he isn't really going to Salient)
