Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. 🙏

god im so sorry man but the audio is grating to the ears I cant watch it.

The laptop I usually process videos on died and I had to process this one with an older laptop with an older version of my software. The video settings were jacked up so I had to reprocess it with the new settings and reupload. Sorry for the inconvenience and all those who had to watch the old version. :)

Recent subscriber here, I enjoy watching your progress, thanks for the content! I'm at a similar stage, in my mid-50's, been playing since 2022, trying to get my rating up to 900. This is the first video I've watched in your 900 series. Some minor suggestions, take 'em or leave 'em ... - explain how you know what score rates 900 (was it from looking at tournament results on that course?) - give a little more hole breakdown, including notes on lefty lines (I'm not a lefty, just curious how it changes things) - say a bit more about your scoring strategy for each hole, and course management tips generally - mention disc flight numbers (or at least speed) before throwing - I'm unfamiliar with the discs you throw, so the names don't mean much to me - another player would add interest, they could also be chasing 900 or maybe they have a different goal; this would slow things down so probably tighten up the editing if you do this, and keep aiming for 15 minutes or so per 9 holes Speaking of course management, seems like you should probably lay up more often. Hole 8 you got lucky that the miss didn't roll away (like player B did), and on the back 9 you took a couple unnecessary bogeys on run attempts or missed approach shots. I think about playing the odds - are my chances of hitting the putt higher than my chances of 3-putting? If so then run it, if not then lay up. Keep spinning!

Interesting watching this from a lefty since I throw so many forehands here as a righty, front 9 especially. I’m amazed at how little wind you have in this round…not sure I’ve ever seen it this calm 😂

I think you should be allowed 2 strokes per 18 holes for having to shoot video, do commentary, and keep score. You're never able to be totally focused on the round itself. 💯

Something you could try would be to have an intro where you show snippets of some of the best flights you got during the round and highlights (and maybe funny lowlights) kinda like how Broderic does before his videos start. I always appreciate it, gets me excited to see how the round unfolds. Just spitballing. I watch for your growth as a player and your personality and insights on learning the game, not for how exciting or wacky your vids are.

Did u grab that blue one off 13

How dare you step on one tee w/o warming up....especially when you have NO excuse!!!! Looks like fun little course

I can't really offer and feedback as to why these videos don't do as well as others, when they are generally my favorite style. I guess I just like watching people play disc golf and be enthusiastic about the sport. I care more about witnessing people reach their goals than making up random things to do. Keep on spinnin' it Bunk.

just saw this after watching Josh "new brace form" ... In my ears Josh says stop the hips, do not let them rotate. That makes no sense to me.... In some videos you can translate what Josh means, can you do that again. Btw you've come a long way since you started, well done Bunky

Oh man! World's was so fun! Did a content practice round. It was like dg Disney World. Didn't get to meet many because I was busy caddying. Just had enough time to give Robbie C a pound when he wrapped his caddy round with Sully. I was bummed I missed meeting more folks.

What is he saying at the beginning? Arm slot and release?

Good vid, def need more people discussing putting mechanics since the throw overshadows so much on YT. I have lots of thoughts, hope you don't mind and would be curious to hear your thoughts! I'm glad you mentioned the first spin source and how spin can be produced without wrist curl there, a lot of people misunderstand this. It's effectively internal shoulder rotation on the backswing mostly that is changing that hand position. I think it can actually be a huge source of spin, perhaps the most depending on how you look at it. The disc never gets pocketed behind the forearm or elbow without internal shoulder rotation. If you start in a shake hands position with the basket, and then curl your wrist, the putter won't get behind the forearm. In the shake hands position the elbow crease is angled somewhat upwards (externally rotated shoulder), if you bend your elbow from there without moving anything else, your hand is lifted up above your elbow. The internal rotation + elbow bend is the biggest factor, imo, to coil the disc behind the forearm / elbow and then wrist adds a lot of coil as well. If you look at the stamp and start with a somewhat bent elbow and elbow by your side, then go into max internal rotation without wrist curl, I can get the disc to rotate up to 180 deg from that motion. Wrist curl can then add 90 more deg of rotation. Fingers extension / flexion is a very small amount of rotation, but, since everything culminates into the fingers as the final lever, from that POV, it makes sense to rate them as the most important. But if you try to do a stab putt style that is only elbow extension + finger pop with no wrist curl and no shoulder rotation, you can barley get any spin on the disc with just the fingers unless you slightly cheat and give yourself a little bit of wrist curl and/or shoulder rotation. When people like Gannon say, "lead with the elbow" for putting power, I think they are indirectly (knowingly or unknowingly) saying to use more internal shoulder rotation since that is how the elbow gets flared out and forward and allows the disc to be more pocketed behind the arm / lags behind and allows more whip and effortless power. I agree that training finger pop is important and good advice, but I think the most important part isn't trying to force extra spin onto the disc (even though thinking this may help with the training). I think the benefit comes from the fingers allowing the uncurling of the disc that is already in progress by the time the fingers start extending, and the fingers extending at the right time is more to minimize loss and interference than to add a significant amount. But when the fingers are messing you up, they are losing you a lot so it seems they are adding a lot of spin when they get synced up to allow the spin to transfer cleanly out of the hand, imo. Also on the point of shoulder rotation not keeping the hand inline with the basket, I think you can keep it moving on the line, it just may not feel like it since the angle the back of the hand is facing is changing. You can do quite a bit of internal shoulder rotation + elbow bend + wrist curl into the middle of your body and then undo the internal rotation with elbow and wrist extension in slow motion in a straight path outwards from the body. If you do only elbow extension + wrist uncurl with internal rotation fixed (elbow stays flared out) then the elbow extension and wrist uncurl all go across to the outer side of the body. You can still yank it to the outer side when externally rotating but it will come out more anny and it’s not as easy to yank it as far to the outer side since the elbow isn’t swinging directly towards the outer side when externally rotating. Isaac example, disc behind forearm / elbow from internal rotation + some wrist curl, then elbow pointing more down at release due to moving from internal to external rotation: i.imgur.com/WTzwUNb.png

Great Advice!!! I concur with ALL 3 even though putting is personal. Loved the hard putt from 16'....bet it was around 18mph...😄😎

Don't jump off the rear leg. You should get pulled off it by the front leg swing/kick into the plant. I talk about this in my Double Dragon Drill. Also I'd recommend my "Whip Step Drill" for bracing more naturally, vs the over bracing horizontally which is a bit rougher on the body IMO.

I would take you further backwards into Butt Wipe Drill and focus more on clearing the rear hip turning rear butt cheek back further/deeper. You should be mirroring the frontside in forward swing, and backside in backswing in a standstill. Probably feel your rear glute med(abductor as you say), and should really feel it in Door Frame Drills. Also watch "Hogan Power Move" vids by Shawn Clement for more context.

Get to it my man

I personally like the idea of using a smaller towel. The discs we throw are 8 inches or so, and the snap of a long towel is more delayed than a shorter one. It may not matter much, but I think a smaller towel is worth considering for this type of drill. It's not so much that we're aiming for the snap, but as a byproduct I think it helps to not deal with a larger towel for this. Also I think if you look at your peak reachback, the hand/disc comes up a bit, and when you swing, it kinda swoops down. That may be an area worth looking into. I've had to battle this, and because of my external rotation, the elbow points down and the hand/disc flies up during my backswing, and then swoops through on the swing. That said, let's get to the important stuff! I found it easier to maintain a beard than trying to keep up a goatee or anything else. I just trim the neck weekly and use a 3-guard on the rest of the beard. Most of the times I'll end up waiting up to a month before trimming it all again. I still try to use a disposable razor to shave my neck every Sunday evening though.

Beard it

Someone needs a Flightowel 😅

beard, slightly more weight to push into the brace.

more like bearded beauty amirite

Bearded Bunky!

I learned from my experience that if you keep that fluid motion in your run up which helps to keep the balance and your body weight in the center at all times you don't even have to think about actively bracing. Before I came to that understanding I was really struggling to not fall over the brace. I was trying to mimic Simon as best as I could and then it just clicked for me.

I use a split grip but my index finger is only about a cm away from the middle finger (or less) rather than all the way to the middle of the disc. Learned it from a Lat64 video with Silver Lätt and I'm not sure how much it's helped but I do like it better than the other grips I've tried. I'll try this one though! Thanks to Josh's form review last month I hit over 50 mph on a forehand for the first time and it's actually catching up to my backhand somehow. Wobble is still averaging 8.6 but somehow I naturally throw nose-down without having to think about it so I'm very blessed there. Last thing: I have definitely also heard the advice to grip the disc hard on the forehand. Both in terms of shoving it tight into the palm/between thumb and index and in terms of holding tight with the thumb (one source even said try to hold it so hard you warp the disc a little bit with your thumb). I'll try doing the opposite and see how it goes.

Miss playing these courses :( Y’all are gonna have to come down here and see some FL courses

Wonderful....an entire lefty process that describes and shows the way to get the rhythm. Thanks, this is beyond helpful...

I think that your arm should be loose enough so that your wrist extends itself at the end due to the centrifugal force. Wrist is the tip of the whip and we want every bit of that whip motion to help us throw farther

What about the step towards the swing back as your throwing the disk… does the lowere half coil back first?

Solid advice!! 👍 👍 begin. Inter. Adv. Net= form work 50%. 20%. 5% Field= power/ distance 0%. 30%. 20% Course=lines/ shaping 50% 50% 75%

I really like the concept to go back if you start losing the feeling. Great stuff, Bunky.

i've been watching Nick's video on the brace and i love the way you are visually actuating the illustration of how you are working thru your implementation and it's really really helpful . thank you.

Super well done brother! Lots of good extra tips and explanations in here that I think people will relate to well

Great video! I need to learn to Krush, too!

Also, loved the verse at the end

Great job breaking the brace and timing down. Very helpful

I agree with you, Bunky! I know I've personally spent too much time doing form work into a net, and that's not why I got into disc golf. I enjoy watching the discs fly, and outside of visiting a course and warming up before a round, or maybe doing a practice round, I miss the fieldwork. I think there's a connection you get with the disc there that can't be replicated with a net, though the net is arguably better for certain types of feedback. But the soul of the game is in the air!

Right on Bunky!!....I've learned to manage the course more than relying on an unrealistic 50+ year old bombing 450' at will. Just ain't gonna happen!!!! Control and putting at our age...I leave long for the young!!!!

I am a new disc golfer (5month). Before DG, I played golf for 40 years with 15 of those years competitive golf was my focus. In golf...short game (150yds in) is king. I have approached disc golf with this educated assumption that the same holds true. In 5 months of focusing 80% of my practice on putting and approach shots I have gone from +38 to +2 on my home course (also up to 280ft BH/220 FH). I also use a net but it literally is 5% or less of my practice and almost exclusively focused on form but NEVER full power into a net. The net is a great tool to help ingrain form changes. But as you point out it's a double edged sword that you are wise to recognize and mitigate as you progress. It's all too easy to break your form trying to go hard and fast with out full flight confirmation. A rule I use that was lifted from golf is to endeavor to never throw a targetless shot. Net work helps with mechanics bit sucks for most of the practice we SHOULD be doing. It's videos like this that raise your contents value IMHO. There is an abundance of snake oil information out there. Thanks for not falling into that category!

Great stuff Bunkie. Couldn't agree more. My local field has a couple of spots where you can throw through a tunnel of trees, and I spend most of my practice time there. Every course we play has trees; the golf shots we throw need to hit lines; as you say, practice how you play. Net is fine for working on mechanics, but you don't get to use the TechDisc sim numbers when you're playing a round. And, I don't bag a TechDisc fairway driver to play disc golf. I bag my Muskets, Explorer, Hex, Crave, Watt, etc. I need to know those discs and throw them where I want to. Like Simon Lizotte says (and every pro): Know your bag.

I really don't have room for a net, but I'm lucky that the local playing fields are only 10 minutes walk away and there's usually space for practise. My usual is to throw for distance and on my return throw at my bag with different shot shapes. I'm sure it's not very original, but I like it. If someone could invent a dog repellant spray for discs, that would make playing field practise even better.

One of the nice things about ball golf is driving ranges. I thought it would be awesome if there were disc golf driving ranges, but the problems are, the same discs fly very differently due to wear, plastic, weight etc. so you couldn't have "range discs" like range balls, and shagging your discs would be dangerous with other people there. I think the only possibile way would be is if you brought your own discs and there were fast disc shagging robots that could identify your discs and bring them back to you. Not quite feasible yet, but I can dream.

A good mic is always a good investment. Sounds good 💯 Congrats on getting re-up'd with Lonestar. 🎉 I don't have a net...I can see its value... keeping you loose and increasing your strength...but I'm a field guy for all the reasons you gave.

thanks man, i will try it out tomorrow!

I feel your tree pain. I played a wooded course today, and I center punched trees all day . 😵‍💫🎯 But at least it's not raining, and I was able to play.

Best explanation of the brace I have seen yet, will be grinding on this for a while. Thank you.
