I bought one of the tour series suspects she has and it is absolutely amazing. So much pop on it. Make sure to check them out in the description links.
What's the depth of the rim on a Suspect compared to a Culprit?
@@danlewis1885 the suspect is .1 cm more shallow
Congrats Holyn on your sick throw in for albatross yesterday!!!!
Love the casual interview format, and Holyn already seems like one of the coolest and realest players on tour! She's set up for a strong finish for the week and hopefully for the year!
She’s thinking about winning a couple years from now. Crazy good mindset
Great breakdown of the incremental process to better form. Congrats Holyn on the rare albatross! Congrats Josh on being there to witness such a rare event!
First saw Holyn on the mic’d up for Elver Park. Really like her attitude and approach to the sport. Definitely one to watch.
From the moment Holyn identified rounding as her biggest issue to overcome, through the rest of the video, really spoke to me. Rounding has been my biggest problem, and the disconnect is real. Fortunately I've got video to work with, but it's hard to fix. Getting a more correct form early on is so important.
What a phenomenal conversation. Also, congrats On the albatrosses!!!!
She has only been playing for a few years now and she's that good. WOW!
Love the format, love Holyn's personality and attitude towards the sport and look forward to the slow mo!
Absolutely love Holyn and how she breaks down form! I'm a engineer as well and recording yourself is soo important to fixing your form its insane. Great content as always guys! Keep growing.
Holyn was bombing the discs at Ledgestone! It was also awesome meeting you guys at Ledgestone as well! You are great guys and very personable and friendly!
I just realized you were caddying for her on that throw in! Awesome!
This was super solid. Really great to hear from an awesome thrower that can distill their approach to learning the game. Thanks, Holyn!
I loved this so much. Similar to what I’ve been doing for my form but she had new ideas for me to try and a good mindset for me to adapt to. Thanks!
Rock solid mindset she has
What a wonderful interview and perspective on how a pro goes about game improvement.
It was great to meet the Overthrow crew after the round at Northwood Black. Your caddy duties for both Holyn and Keiti were of great service.
I am an old but new fan of Overthrow and Holyn if you get my drift ! Bethel.
Her step by step plan for coaching herself and improving is super cool. I’m trying to improve my form with help from overthrow and others. Still a work in progress
Love these videos! Stoked I was able to run into you on Sunday for that brief interaction in the parking lot by the field. Keep up the content. Love the work.
Great meeting you!
Awesome stuff! Incredible shot yesterday !
Holyn seems like such a fun person, it was lovely to see this interview and get her perspective on form. Great video!
It’s true. She is fun
Holyn Handley = Brilliant! great content.
Great video! Cant wait to see the Slow mo content!
Congrats on your Albatross Holyn!
This whole vie was so cute. And very inspiring. Looking forward to working on my form - and also working less on my for/more focused.
Again thanks for amazing content.
loving the qwantent guys
OMG, I didn't know Holyn was an engineer! As an engineer and disc golf fan, this makes me root for her even more!
She’s worth rooting for that’s for suren
Fantastic stuff! Can’t wait for the slo-mos!
boom this is super cool to watch!
Thanks for this video Josh and Mikey … I am getting to be a big Holyn fan. She seems great - on the course and in conversation.
I’m a fan for sure
I do enjoy the quantent. And meeting you today at Ledgestone Mikey!
You’re a great dude 😎
Great vid. Loved this conversation. Thanks.
Passed by Mikey at Ledgestone this week, hope you guys are having a good time!
Mikey knows the camera angles, saw him tons over the weekend...
Holyn's forehand is super impressive...wish I could throw like her soms day
i love seeing videos on the forms of people like simon and drew, but i will never be to their level. Im not saying i could even compete against players like HH but i always feel like i learn so much more on how to improve my personal game by watching the FPO players and how they think than i do with the MPO.
Same
I've really only watched FPO this year because of what you just said. I wonder how many others are in the same boat
@@EMdominguez92 probably a good bit
5:35 My biggest form practice issue. I start throwing too hard to engrain the technique I'm working on. Just keep it slow until it comes out of you naturally. If I could only implement that myself! Dang. LOL
there is no slow mo video in the end 😥
We decided this was worth giving its own video. Slow mo will have its own as well
@@OverthrowDiscGolfaha nice, so you will do it like with drew 👍 cant wait 🤗
Rounding is the worst bc there are so many tiny things that add up to cause it. For me it was mostly in the footwork- last step going horizontal instead of in front of me, but also in the timing of rotation, angle of the reach back, not separating my hands soon enough, bent elbow, back posture wrong, and prob something else I’m forgetting. Occasionally I get it all right and blast one and then other times throw nose up bc I’m not concentrating on that anymore😑
That 2020V1 KT Pure is $$$, best run of KT Pures to-date.
Holyn seems dialed in and has a great attitude.
For sure
Love that smile :)
Jack Nicklaus had a pocket notebook with his top 10 swing. thoughts and before each PGA tournament on the range he would cycle through them to see which one he was going to use for that day. (he would always talk to his caddy about feel versus real)
Solid interview. Are you cats at Ledgestone right now? Thought I saw Mikey on Jomez coverage, but it easily could've been another 8' giant.
We were!
I feel like my hardest thing is timing any maybe my reachback
Good stuff, folks who's really trying to improve got A LOT out of Holly's answers...wouldnt be bad to run it again
Great interview!
Question: if you had a student who said, I want you to build my form from scratch. I will learn each skill I sequence, drilling it like your guest described. What is the sequence of skills you would have them follow, from first basics to final details?
That is a tough question to answer because it would be different person to person. First thing I would do is identify a strength and then develop a game plan for that individual from thereb
@@OverthrowDiscGolf that's a fascinating response from a coaching theory perspective. When I coach hockey goalies we do spend time refining strengths but a lot of the direct coaching is about identifying difficulties in their game and then incorporating the fixes that will work for their body and style of play, until they are automatic in a range of situations and transitions. But your reply seems to suggest a different approach and I am alohappy to leant from other great coaches in different sports. Could you elaborate on your coaching philosophy?
@@Kvothe3 there’s a lot that goes into this conversation. If it is a kid that wants to train as if they were going pro I would develop necessary shots. For example, backhand hyzer, hyzer flip (FH or BH), and then a forehand. If it is an adult I am looking for what they do well and then building the game from there.
Example: through my initial evaluation if I found that they had a very natural forehand drive that started at 300 feet I would work to make the forehand the solid enough to work their game around.
If they were best at putting I might pick to refine the putting first and then move to approach shots and finally back to drives.
Basically I find if there is a pre existing foundation before trying to build one somewhere else
@@OverthrowDiscGolf
That makes a lot of sense, especially in the context of a solo sport. My goalies need to react effectively to what the opponent is doing and so their movements and save selections are in large part determined by outside factors. Conversely in disc golf if you have an area of strength that can be built up into a viable tool for attacking a course, you don't need to worry that say Paul Mcbeth is going to start guarding your backhand and forcing you to throw your weaker shot.
Appreciate the insight, will have to do some thinking about how that approach can nuance what I do in some areas with my students.
@@Kvothe3 right. I imagine I would coach differently if there were a back and forth from players instead of shot shapes
Holyn is really good for how long she has been playing. And like Ezra she is a case for showing how strength can add distance. But I am not saying that is purely why she throws long. Obviously, she spends much time working on her form.
I think that consistency is her next goal. Good repeatable form equals consistency, so she is on the right track and I know Josh can help.
Interestingly, she said rounding was a big problem for her in the past. Was she an ultimate player? Perhaps she was. While having played ultimate brings some advantages in terms of touch and throwing from different positions, throwing a lid is a good bit different from throwing golf discs. Having to unlearn rounding is something many former ultimate players need to do. She’s an engineer, and many ultimate players come from engineering schools. But I don’t know if she actually was an ultimate player; I’m just guessing.
I'm pretty confident she was a college volleyball player and did not play Ultimate.
Yep. Volleyball
Holyn just threw 450’ drive on the 525’ 17th. Pretty sure it was a backhand. You got anything to do with that Josh? :)
Was wondering same thing
I had 0% to do with that. All her
What a treasure and for the first time, I don't mean Josh and Mikey
Josh… my son and I are local to your area. Do you do in person lessons?
I do! Email or Instagram (preferred) me
Albatross disc?
Royal Rive I believe
@@OverthrowDiscGolf Aren't caddies supposed to know what their player is throwing?!? 🤣
@@danlewis1885 meh. She does just fine without me lol
Apparently her new form drove her to an albatross!
So another man 👨 cool
Have you 2 dated before? I'm pickin up something
I don’t think so. Lol. You’re just picking up on instant homie vibes
First!
Love your videos. Please. Please try and not use "Like" as a filler word. I realize it's generational. Perhaps it a me problem but it renders otherwise great material unlistenable. I'm only bothering to type this out because I value your channel.
