    I've got a 400ft FH. I figured most of this out by trial and error and luck, and a lot of it I'm doing without ever having thought about it, but your recent videos on FH are the best I've ever seen. The only thing I'd add is the FH is a whip, and the disc is the tail of the whip. Throwing a FH is cracking the whip at the target, and I use my whole body to crack that whip. A loose wrist is everything. Your wrist will violently go through it's full range of motion in a FH. All I think about is having a completely relaxed wrist and a grip firm enough to hold unto the disc until the whip cracks and the disc rips free.

      True, but I’ve also seen guys force the wrist pop at the end leading to early pronation and late releases. Most of them watched the Uli video where he talks about flicking the cr@p out of it.

    This was a real eye opener. My forehand has come a long way since I started playing disc golf, but this I believe will make it so much more consistent. I can throw about 350 with my FH today, but its a literal luck fest if I put on more than 60% power into it. Both early and late releases if I notch the power up. I tried dry swinging in my living room and man it just felt so natural. I probably have a bit of the the "chest forward" syndrome you described, but I feel just working on the chest and arm positioning here will sort a lot of it out. Thanks man, you rock!

    Practicing from a stand still is SO important. Weight shift/brace, hip/shoulder seperation and the right hinge in the wrist, getting that down in a stand still "should" give most people a serviceable FH - along with a reduced risk of getting an injury. Good atufd Josh!

    Awesome video! There are many players (myself included) who have tons of potential forehand power from playing baseball, but have serious problems with off-axis torque and wobble. For me, I think the "holy grail" video would be if you circled back at the end of this series to demonstrate all of the tips from this series using the TechDisc and on slow-mo video.
    Either way, keep up the great content!

    • @gwsmallwood
      @gwsmallwood 11 місяців тому

      I had the same problem for a while. Mine was caused by starting the disc too high (like a baseball throw) in the reach back. Do like Josh is showing here and keep it on roughly the same plane the entire time. Could help.

    Wait a second! So you don't really throw your arm like a baseball throw? I just did a FH with your tip of torso turn and flick. It felt great and no OAT!
    For some reason years ago I remember a popular touring Pro say don't keep your arm near your body or you'll "T-Rex" it, so I've kept the arm away from the body and didn't even try to get it close to the chest and I've never improved. I just keep turning it over and quite wobbly.
    Thank you so much for this video. I feel more confident with the angle I throw it on now. Good for only 150ft at the moment with midranges and 7 speeds, but I'm excited with that.
    Sick throws! They had to be over 300ft with stand stills and you hardly turned your shoulders!!!!

    Regarding wrist range of motion. The angle of the lower arm changes a bit when the elbow comes through, which makes it more flexion, and less abduction/adduction. It just seems like ab-/adduction when you are only looking at wrist movement.

    The biggest tell that I'm "pushing"/"strong arming" is that understable discs turn and burn. This is the point where a lot of forehand throwers grab Firebirds instead of cleaning up their form. Not pointing any fingers, but you know who you are.

      I don't know how your body mechanics work, but I can see on slo-mo video that when I release a disc in line with my chest, it's a good shot. If it releases in front, it's a turnover. The overall difference in hand position is like 3-6", but it's a complete difference in how the disc flies and how far it goes.

    Ok. Cool. It's been a year since I was able to park a small forehand hole at my local. Last time I played it I channeled your teachings and was basically bullseye.
    Got a question, that may fit in your more advanced parts of the forehand. Why do the big pro arms end up lunging with there lower body. Is that some sort of follow threw thing?

    • @OverthrowDiscGolf
      @OverthrowDiscGolf  11 місяців тому +1

      That is an interesting one. They are able to still get the hip clear they need even with a bent leg. I think part of it has to do with how low they are, but I must admit it seems like to would be more optimal power wise to have the leg completely press out. So basically I’m unsure

      @@OverthrowDiscGolf I assumed you might talk about it in some of the lower body videos. I find just like the backhand, you can get some extra power just by bending the knees a bit more and dropping / driving the trail knee behind, or at least nearly behind, the plant knee. Sort of like a bowler, but not quite so extreme.

      For me what helped is to kind of think of it as chucking a heavy sack. You would go slow to build momentum and the end increase the speed.
      You are most likely "chopping" the elbow forward too fast so the elbow bottoms out to fast.
      You want the elbow to go out in reach back come in and then back out again. So practice moving the elbow really slow and just pop the fingers.
      Also scott stoekelys windmill or pendulum vid is a really good place to build a proper reach back. Josh here kind of does something that you really should avoid and that is late cocking the elbow, meaning he waits until very late to get the elbow in front of the hand which more often lead to injury.
