2 TIPS TO THROW FLAT IN DISC GOLF w/ PHILO BRATHWAITE

  • Опубліковано 6 жов 2020
  • In this video, world-famous tour pro and disc golf coach Philo Brathwaite explains two critical tips to throwing flatter disc golf drives. Most new players struggle with a throw that rises up high and hooks back hard to the left (for right-handed backhands), but following these essential steps will keep your shots flat and in the fairway. Although there are two main throwing tips that Philo goes over, there are several important disc golf lessons that are included in this driving clinic to help your drives become more consistent. Let us know if you have any questions about these disc golf tips in the comments below and Philo or one of our disc golf coaches will try to answer them asap. Enjoy!

    This video literally changed my drive. I always had an issue with a very high heiser. I watched your video and practiced the motions while in the office today, then went out to play a couple rounds after work. My longest drive previously was 233. Today I got a nice flat 260. Felt amazing! I didn’t feel like I was throwing as hard as before, but had better speed, power, and accuracy.

      Standing tall and upright is the safest, most efficient posture for the way our spine rotates during a disc golf throw, especially a flat, straight one. This becomes extra apparent for our tall lanky players.

      I honestly think I've subconsciously been hunched over on my approach. Explains why many of my throws are more hyzer than flat. I've been playing for almost 20 years but my mechanics are pretty poor. I never really learned the right way to play so I have 2 decades of bad habits. It's probably going to be harder to learn now than if I just started playing because I have to erase everything I've known about disc golf and relearn.

    This is so cool. I play golf and even there we have different shot shapes. It's cool to see the ball fly through the air the way you intend it to. Seeing a disc fly smoothly through the air is oddly very satisfying.
    The amount of complexity reminds me of the golf swing.
