Wow, thanks so much! Glad its helping. Feel free to comment if any questions come up!

Awesome! 68… Most likely a Cabaret or a Lady Luck?

@@_TDG Ding Dong, has a bunch of school kids on it. It was buzzing loud when I got it. But switching out to LEDs really mellowed it out. My wife meticulously painted all the detail back and with a set of new rubbers she’s a beaut!

Honestly, I would just get them out throwing and having fun before working on mechanics much. Unless they WANT to learn mechanics, then thats awesome and go for it! I would start here: ua-cam.com/video/ZHtn4EF-Nv0/v-deo.htmlsi=MA_HgJTdZnYNKPSJ

@@_TDG these guys are very athletic and I already know they are going to be asking form questions. Just want to steer them in the right direction. Thanks man!

@@OptikDojo find me on facebook or the disc golf nation discord and I can get you his contact info. But he moved to Cali… : /

Thanks! Yea. Its a pretty ambiguous phrase until someone actually explains it.

@@Chillydall02 both really. There is truth and some BS. Personally I have spent alot of time and money trying to find a disc in champion type premium plastic that flies like a beat in dx teebird. A new dynasty is close, but not quite the same. The problem as I see it is that premium plastics really arent as understable as the flight numbers suggest. (Esp if your nose angle is positive). So beating them in Is the only way to make them fly understable unless you have a ton of arm speed to over drive them well.

@@aslan-og yea. Ball golf will get alot more interesting the day they start using irregular shaped balls! All of your shot shaping comes from trajectory and spin. In my limited understanding.

@@ryangrabowski9856 absolutley! Can you post a link here?

Thank you so much for saying that. That is exactly what I'm trying to do. I really want to help people understand what they are doing and why. Otherwise so much can go wrong and people are unable to self coach effectively.

I remember watching that one. I dont remember it talking about vertical as clearly as this one. Does it?

Its no fun if you're expecting it!

@@user-kv5my3xy1l awesome! What clicked?

@@_TDG The horizontal shoulder collapse demonstration. That's exactly what I do and I'd never thought of it or seen it properly illustrated.

Scuffs on the edge of the disc increases turbulent flow over the top of the disc which increases lift, increasing understability. It's the same reason that a more grippy plastic is usually more understable than a slick one, because surface turbulence is higher the more grippy the plastic is.

Good question and good topic. I hope he can talk about this as well.

@@aslan-og ua-cam.com/video/oihLpqMBa38/v-deo.htmlsi=U6JNr2NglnBIU7hi New video answer is up! A few answers: general damage makes the disc micro wobble more, which decreases gyroscopic stability. And most higher speed discs get the outside edge bent downwards from impacts with trees and such, which makes more air go over the top = more understable. And yes wear specifically on the bottom rim can reduce overstability.

@@user-pp3vc8id9y thank you!

Slow down your walk up speed. Your body weight is progressing forward too fast, thats what causes the rear foot to spin out.

I'm not sure what you mean.... He plants toe to heel and pivots on the heel. What do you not like about it?

@_TDG so when I come in heavy on the toe in my plant, my brace is softer. I need to come down on much more of my foot to get a full solid plant. Go watch Simon's slo mo. He comes down on almost the whole inside of his foot. Yeah, his tow technically hits first, but he has a much less pronounced toe to heel shift in his plant. I think that is pretty consistent with the pros. Maybe it's not a huge deal, but I feel a difference in my throw.

@@discsmd ​​⁠i think what simon does is the more advanced maneuver… a toe to heel rock sets you up better to learn how to use your front leg well by getting all the weight into the heel so the ankle stabilizers are mostly not super taxed in the kinetic chain. What simon does works. But he already knows how to use his front leg. While we are still learning to brace well a toe heel rock works better for most.

@@discsmd Exacly how i also feel. feels a bit soft. simon stompes.

Thats great! Im cautious of activating the bicep, but other longer throwers arent, but if its working its working! I do think having a stop point to the impulse on the disc can be a helpful cue for some.

@@_TDG it’s not really a bicep activation and more tricep, the forearm stays pretty loose and just follows the hinge of the elbow. It’s more of a mental cue that I had to tell myself because I’m so prone to rounding. It feels right tho, and it sounds like I am cracking a whip with my mids and putters now. Getting a lot more distance with them both, but it has not translated to my drivers just yet, but I have just moved to this, this week. Thanks for all your videos and help btw.

@@jaswan79 ​​⁠ok good! Then yes thats perfect. Just drive the elbow so that the disc comes into the chest.

You are welcome.

Sure! That could help.

Ha! Which one is the biggest issue for you?

@@_TDG I collapse the pocket every single time. My shoulders start rotating before my arm goes through. I will use these drills you showed 👍

@@ToddsDiscGolf Try the trebuchet drill. Should help your shoulder understand how to drive the elbow to keep the pocket supported.

I think Josh’s box drill, twirly bird 1, and hula drill are some of the best ways to feel out some elements of the throw. So I wouldnt say he teaches bad habits. What major differences standout to you?

Thanks! Pretty sure good form is what gets you good arm speed. All physics cares about is disc speed and spin and release angles… physics doesnt care about form, if that makes sense. So bad form with 60mph release is the same as good form with a 60mph release as far as distance goes…But I guess bad form would be less consistent (and require more effort / injury potential)

Its fine if the heel comes down as long as the weight shift is doing what we want. There are a handful of pros that will drop the x heel but then still move off that leg really well. Its beginners that are usually better served by just not putting the heel down since it tends to create issues. Dropping the heel can be a good way to help load the rear hip better, but you have to kinda know what youre doing.

I dont think counterweighting fixes heel drop. I think the heel drop is undone by the weight / pressure shift being right. Rather than by the real leg CW thing.

Then I would suggest you may need a longer prosthetic specifically for disc golf. Alternatively you could bend your rear knee even more.

@@_TDG ok thanks just wondering cuz I'm new to disc golf and also a pirate at the same time.

@@Gerbs964arent we all?

@@_TDG LMAO 🤣

Thank you!

Awesome! Yea I made that one up... hope it helps!

@_TDG Well, almost everyone since I started watching has said, "Don't throw with your arm." So I've been mistakingly letting my shoulder collaps because I was trying to remove my arm from the occasion. I took the limp noodle analogy to the MAX. But with bracing the elbow and then using the off arm to push the elbow through, I can really understand how I can use it for the throw without 'just' yanking my arm.

@@Christopher-hh8iq yep. Loose is good bit you still need to support and drive the elbow forward.

Thank you! Good luck!

Yea if you have a swing plane issue that gets corrected with a swing plane bandaid change then it can be super hard to decouple the two long enough to make a positive change. I worked with a guy that struggled because when he threw with a decent swing plane the disc would come out 20 degrees nose down. Because his launch was 20 degrees up so it 'evened out'. But when you fix one issue the other part of your muscle memory screws everything up. So you end up having to either throw horribly for a while and trusting that the other issue can get sorted OR fix two issues at once, which is hard. Hop on the Patreon and we'll get you sorted out!

@@_TDG just joined :D

Dont ask me, ask the Algorithmic Overlords... Is that minecraft modded CounterStrike in some of you videos???

Yea Swirly is tough, there is ALOT going on there. I see it as a playground to work on timing... but you still have to know what you are going for and what it feels like when its right.

I think thats reasonably common. Yea reducing tension in the beginning of the throw can be really important, I think thats kinda what makes it work for you...

Bro, you're rounding! ; ) yea, here's hoping!

Sure. when you throw hyzer hopefully everything is tilted on hyzer: hips and shoulders and arm. When you throw flat you may have everything flat(er) which is not great mechanically... you can still throw flat if you want to, but dont expect your brace to be as strong or as able to contain momentum. When people throw flat there generally tends to be less space for the disc, which kinda creates problems like rounding... try to find a way to keep the space you have on a hyzer when you do a flat throw...

@@_TDG thank you!

Try just keeping the disc on the intended release plane the whole time. Pocket, reachback, pocket, release. Should simplify things while you are building the muscle memory.

That tracks. I dont think I was even aware of that pattern back when we worked together. Hows your throw doing?

Yep that one is pretty common. Really dont see alot of other coaches talking about it. So its not in the common knowledge yet.

Thank you!

I picked up one about 6 months ago to practice in my garage for the winter. Great pick up

Awesome! Glad its helping! Check out the one leg stuff too. Great way to start building an awareness of what it feels like to be braced.

@@_TDG wilo give that a watch tomorrow. It's a whole new feeling and feels kinda weird honestly. The whole throwing thing just feels awkward and non powerful, but I have a feeling it'll get more natural.

@@_TDG can you suggest what video I should check out next?

@@throwing_circlesso what you are used to ‘feels’ powerful. But what feels powerful is actually slow and weak, its just ‘doing’ alot of work. What we really want is effortless and fast. Not slow and hard work. Start here ua-cam.com/video/R0enrZ559a8/v-deo.htmlsi=uCeqJPMqwN9f-fJK
