Since I can't get some good updated footage due to mother nature, I figure we at least start to tell the story from the beginning.
I will say this was recorded by my good buddy that does not play disc golf, and we were messing around, no intention of anyone seeing this. lol
The guy behind the camera is one if not the best basketball shooter in the world, he has 7 or 8 Guinness records now, won $200K in NBA 3 point Shot tourneys last year.
For those that do not know, started playing in spring of 2008, and in 2009 started working with local legend Marty Peters ( team discraft) and session in dead winter, I went from 350ft- 475-500ft day one!
He taught me with the backwards walk up, arm extended out to learn, but I was able to get this to work better than planned. lol
This video clip I think I was adjusting the new more controlled 1.5 step modified form you see, but I would still do something close to the backwards walk up with 2 steps for my big hyzers.
I am already aware of the form issues present that my og form had, so don't beat me up too bad. lol
So I was throwing/sitting around 500ft plus of golf distance during this time, and did throw 638ft in distance competition. But I did not practice 360 or just raw distances, I think I used more off-axis torque with an X Nuke.
you can't see it in the video, but there are cones and pylons that were out in the distance at 400 / 450/ 475/ 500 ft measured with a wheel.
After 2012, I may have played 1-2 more times in 2013, but it was over 11 years before I picked up a disc again recently.
So let the story begin.
