    15:46. Powerlifter here: Acctualy you don't want to do that when benching, you have to keep your shoulderblades pinned into the bench the entiere ROM. Your shoulder should not be moving while benching.

      Way late here but that's not necessarily true unless I'm misunderstanding what your saying. Keep the shoulders down and arch should pin your upper shoulders/traps against the bench, but it's okay for shoulders to have a natrual ROM during the bench - trying to keep them fully retracted while pressing at the same time is counter-productive.

    Great video, I will definitely use the info in my play. My suggestion for these videos in the future would be to play the throw in it’s entirety once or twice through before going in for the breakdown. I think it will help with a viewer’s visual context for what’s next. In a broadcast sense it would also help eliminate the tension/anticipation of ‘getting to the end.’ Thanks!

    His plant on his toes leads to the "stomp the can " drill, which activates his hips and torso spin. at the same time the disc comes into the power pocket, which in terms of inertia, gets his core spinning as fast as possible. Then when he extends his arm, all of that rotational inertia gets translated through the extended elbow into the whip like speed. Just awesome to watch!

  • @kimmomatikainen1843
    @kimmomatikainen1843 4 роки тому

    I agree with Danny that follow through matches more hyzer/anhyzer angle and not so much high and low. Anhyzer follow through low and hyzer high.
    I think Paul's lost last step has a lot to do with the run-up speed. With slower speed his last step is shorter. He has a fast momentum so the speed carries through a long last step. With a short last step and fast run-up you sort of fall over.
    Some players have a very short reach back, just few inches. Disc stays almost still and forward movement moves the body away from the disc giving the impression of reach back.
    That way timing becomes almost automatically and reach back happens at the end of the run-up and not too early.
    This was a good break-down and a lot of people are interested in footwork, or they should be interested in it. It is very important.

    @kimmomatikainen1843 4 роки тому

    When I teach beginners or people who have never thrown a frisbee/disc and want to throw farther, I tell them to keep the head so that it is basically in a same angle with shoulder/upper arm. Chin and upper arm are in the same angle. In reach back slightly backward and then head moves at the same time as body rotates and shoulder/upper arm moves forward or rotates.
    I don't know if that is ideal, but then there is no tension in neck or anywhere else and it is simple to explain.

    As long as your power pocket is square to where you're throwing... and as long as your disc enters the power pocket square and flat with a locked wrist, it doesn't matter WHERE you reach back to. I see a lot of pros, including this one of Paul's, his shoulders pump and it cocks his elbow to begin the straight pull into the power pocket.. that little pump also with his left arm also helps clue his hips into engaging. He has muscle memory form cues.

    I noticed on course watching other guys throw in front of me how their discs go slightly downwards after release then the disc started flying slightly upwards after probably like 2-3 meters. And I've wondering why I cant keep the nose down at all... I threw the same way, too high reachback and released the disc little lower. Something you cant really see yourself. The flight of the disc looked normal to myself when I threw. U need either to get that on video or someone spotting the issue. Got it fixed and just in two weeks I got 20-30 meters extra distance and my discs dont fade as hard as they used to. Also, now I can keep anhyzer lines better and actually release discs on hyzer and have them pop up flat or slightly turn over, which I only could do with really understable discs prior fixing the issue. I have noticed that this issue is actually really common on course.

    Hey Danny. One of the last thing's I'm struggling with to consistently throw over 350 is whether or not to be consciously closing/bending my forearm and elbow into the power pocket as I'm coming thru or do I just let the momentum and spinning of my upper body do all the work and just keep my arm upright but like a noodle? When I just let momentum do all the work my left shoulder gets ahead of the disc and then I round a little bit and my pocket is more towards my left peck/left shoulder. Thanks if you ever get to this question.

    You don't look at your target when you are swinging a golf club. You look at the target before your swing and trust that you are lined up properly from foot placement. The same would apply here and your head should simply not interfere with the mechanical flow of your throw. Don't worry about your head and it will find its correct position on its own.

      This is something I used to struggle with. I initially just worked on power so that I could throw high hyzers and still go farther, and that worked for a while because I mostly play on a very open course. Unfortunately that eventually led to some elbow issues, and tree issues on less open courses, so I had to learn better habits. Being conscious of the direction of my follow-through helped me a lot. The disc can't really leave your hand at a higher angle than the plane of your follow-through unless it is thrown with the nose up. It's a matter of what direction your arm is moving when you release the disc, That's the direction the energy is transferred into the disc. a way to practice I used was to not try for lots of power, but just throw a beanbag. It's flight wasn't affected by the characteristics of a disc, so it could only go int he direction I threw it.

    EDIT: (11 months later)
    A lot has changed within this time and plenty of teachings are starting understand what is really happening in the top pro form. For One “uncoiling” and “leave back” are 100% accurate. Your arm should be a noodle and the power pocket/“reach back” timing is a result of your trail side firing BEFORE your arm fully extends. This is why you see paul’s trail side knee already shifting the weight to the front before the disc has started to come forward. Also the quicker you get the trail side arm close to your body, the quicker you’ll end up rotating. You’ll see Paul’s trail arm is already tucked by the time his front foot plants and before the “leave back” is fully extended. One way to naturally fire your trail leg before the backswing finishes, is to utilize your 3rd to last step to push forward. This helps the initial momentum flow into your Xstep and almost feels like you “glide” over your 2nd to last step. Making your xstep aid your weight shift, rather than hurting it. This also gets you to stay over the trailside. If you get ahead of your trailside, you end up throwing with mostly upper body because you’re ahead of the weight shift. That trailside weight shift is ALL your power. You want that power to be for the disc and not get soaked up by your upper body. Calvin heimburg is probably the best example of staying behind, letting his weight shift spin him around and the disc get in front. If you’re rounding its most likely due to using your upper body to throw or not having a wide enough “leave back”. Everyones leave back will be different. Lanky builds can reach back more linear without getting in the way of them selves. where bigger builds have to reach back much more wide. Also what helps is what Danny talks about extending your lead shoulder out in front of your pec. All the above still applies. Hopefully this clears up some misteachings but the sport is young so it happens. People like Danny i have the up most respect for to put themselves out there at a time where there was not much on proper form. There is a lot he got right and helped me to get from 250 to 375. I took what he gave me and utilized the ball golf swing as well. I now push 450 and know i still have plenty more to gain. Happy throwin yall! Again Thank you Danny!🤜🏽💥
    I kind of dont like the phrase “REACH BACK”. im sure danny has talked about it before but another way to say it (that for sure made it click for me) is “UNCOIL”. Once i thought of the reach back as uncoiling rather then forcing my disc back and pulling... it helped me naturally form a power pocket and keep my pec and bicep at a 90 degree angle. As a result my disc started to feel heavier upon release because i was finally utilizing the lower body weight shift to put momentum into the disc. Just food for thought. Great vid danny!🙏🏽

    • @DannyLindahl

      @chaldokid501 4 роки тому

      @@DannyLindahl For me the term 'leave back' would be most accurate. You're not consciously pushing your arm backwards, you're just stopping carrying your arm forward at about the same time your feet cross in the x-step. For the same reason that calling the forward motion a 'pull' is misleading and makes me want to pull the disc with my arm. It's more whipping your arm forward with your hip and upper body rotation and your arm follows along for the ride.

      For me, I kind of have to think of it as a reach back because otherwise I just don't do it and throw from just above and in front of my hip. I get away with it by having a bit of excess power for my local courses, but when I actually need to throw, I have to remind myself to let my arm reach back in front of my back foot.

    I can’t figure out why Paul and some others put their arm straight down vertically before their forehand throws. Can somebody explain why they do this? I’ve tried it and it doesn’t feel natural. Is it just smart to have a starting point that can be replicated the more accurately?

    • @Oeugh
      @Oeugh 4 роки тому

      Austin Texas Law not every pro does that. Paul and simon are almost the only ones. If it doesnt feel natural then dont do it! You can do a long or a short reach back as long as it feels good and natural for you

    • @chaldokid501

      It has to do with rotational speed. It's for the same reason as a backhand throw. An easy example is to imagine a figure skater. You'll always see figure skaters spinning. If you ever watch one with their arms out, then they tuck their arms in close to their body, they'll immediately start spinning faster. That's not because of any added effort on their part, it's just the physics of rotation.

      It's the Avery Jenkins forehand style. He might not have invented it but he was one of the first to smash using it. Just a preference thing IMO.

    • @DannyLindahl
      @DannyLindahl  4 роки тому

      There's two ways of looking at it. I like to think of it as a reachback because if you think of keeping the disc in the same spot and stepping forward, that means if you're throwing a shot that requires a different step, your timing and mechanics will be off.

  • @suitableace1028
    @suitableace1028 4 роки тому +8

    I don’t believe that Paul “reaches back” at all. I believe he sets his arm at 90 degrees while keeping it loose - especially the elbow, and then after he braces and starts to rotate, the disc, through inertia is brought into the power pocket and then he pushes the disc out from his body between 9 and 10 o’clock while breaking his wrist and that the fast upper body rotation and grip strength are what control the angle of release and line of release. If you look at videos of his upper body you will see that when his gets to its straightest point, his right shoulder actually flexes the tiniest bit as it engages the weight of his arm as his upper body begins the turn. He never actually “reaches back” - the arms straightens because it is loose. His snap upon release comes from throwing the tail end of the disc around and through the pivot point and that is where all the spin comes from, as well as the popping sound upon release. I have tested this numerous times. The biggest detriment to power (which should actually be termed “speed”) is when people try to arm the disc or actually “pull” it across the body. The inertia of the upper body moving is what brings the arm across and the breaking wrist and hitting the pivot point with the proper disc action and pushing the disc away from the body through the turn is what generates all the spin.

    • @DannyLindahl
      @DannyLindahl  4 роки тому +1

      So what you're saying is "I don't think Paul 'reaches back'" *Proceed to describe a reachback*. Backswing is probably a much better word for the reasons you just talked about. Nobody should be actively trying to reach as far back as possible, but moving the disc away from the target relative to the thrower is required for power shots. You've also just used a bunch of fancy words to describe something fairly simple. Here, I'll try. "Don't muscle, focus on swinging the disc into the power pocket and releasing out to the left. Slow is smooth, smooth is far."

    • @suitableace1028
      @suitableace1028 4 роки тому +1

      Danny Lindahl - perfect. I think the words “reach back” are the problem. It leads people to think they should physically reach their arm back rather than setting the disc on the angle and allowing the forward motion of the body to pull the disc into the power pocket.

  • @simplejim100
    @simplejim100 4 роки тому +1

    disagree completely that elbow up = power pocket, I have much more power throwing on hyzer angle because i can connect the arm motion to the rotation of the hips and explosive motion from footwork. you want elbow up to throw flatter shots which is how you should throw a lot of stable drivers, but you are not generating more power by raising your elbow

  • @menbah

    One problem with just looking at a single throw. As you say he here reaches out towards the 'left back corner' of the tee-pad, but if you watch him throw other types of shot that direction changes!
    See him doing more controlled upshots where he doesn't turn his body as much, his arm is alot further out to the side.
    And when he actually does a full power shot and turns completely away from the target his arm is almost straight back also.

    Sorry Danny, but Eagle's backhand is much better than Paul's. Paul regularly throws from the Fake Power Pocket, and his smash is always early. I don't really rate Paul's form these days. He's extremely skilled, but Eagle, and Drew have better BH form.

      If you mean "better for generating pure speed" then yes, they have better form. It's hard to argue that Paul doesn't have the best form for getting the disc to go very far in a controlled and accurate manner, as he seems to do that pretty consistently.
