#DiscGolf #BrodieSmith #Tutorial
Had a great time out at the Memorial Championships this past week. Learned a lot and can't wait for my 1st tournament! Where did you guys play this weekend?
I love your videos man
We did some course maintenance
on our local track to get it ready for leagues :)
27 holes at Jefferson Barracks park St Louis MO. with a broken big toe. Why? Because you gotta KEEP SLINGIN THEM DISCS!!!!!!!
Ended up playing 2 rounds at cran hill and a round at pyramids over the weekend, both awesome courses in Massachusetts!
I thought you already played a tournament to get a rating?
Dude let’s go!! Thanks for having me on the channel it was a pleasure to help you out and pretty cool to watch you toss one 500ft 🔥🏹
Was awesome watching you all weekend. New fan. Gotta rock those Jordan’s every round 🔥🔥
0:03 you ok? how's your ankle feeling and how are the shoes holding up lmao. thanks for the tips, driving that back foot into the follow through is something i need to try.
Dude, I'd pay a 100 bucks for these tips Drew. You da business homie.
Awesome to see you on this video and to get some tips from you. Will be subbing to your channel as well. Good luck this season!
Drew I learned a lot more from this short vid than from some 30-45 min long paid demos from players I’ll leave unnamed. Looking forward to more content from your channel.
I believe in you brother. Go out there and get what’s yours. 🤘
I’ve been playing for 10 years and only able to throw 300’ consistently. After I watched and practiced the material from this video, I can consistently throw 450’-480’ now with my farthest throw being 505’. Thank you for making this available for everybody! For FREE!
Hey im kinda in the same boat. I am able to get 350ish but im curious what helped you out the most? Or what do you think was the biggest change in your throw?
Let me know when you find out….
So that's what my drives are missing: vengeance.
dougdevine27 that or the hot pocket
Ah vengeance, I went for malice.
Drew is an absolute animal and has some of the cleanest form. Solid vid!
This was quite literally the best information I've ever recieved regarding disc golf form. Thank you so much. I'm the guy who can throw 500, but only 4/10 times. The wrist degree thing made so much sense. 🔥🙌
A A you don’t even know the guy lmao wtf
@@familymainacct I understand your skepticism. I'm not trying to say I'm a 1000 rated player who can constantly bomb it ot anything, because I'm not. Far from it actually. I know UDisc isn't perfect, but I have my share of throws that are within 10 feet of 500 either direction according to the app. I've been playing for 10 plus years and I can consistently throw over 400 feet. Drew can bomb midranges 500 and I was just appreciating his technique and description of how he does it.
Good guy Drew Gibson helping out the people. Really appreciate these tips.
I really liked this video a lot. Drew seems to be a natural at teaching and explained each movement with rational purpose. More like this please
And he explains WHY we are doing certain movements, which is super helpful for beginners like me
These have been helping so much, been playing for 10 days started at +24. Yesterday threw a +8.. watching all these tips have helped me tremendously.
Seeing this much Drew content really shows off his knowledge of the throw. To me, he’s so smooth it’s almost been a detriment because he gives the impression that he’s just a natural, but putting this kind of cerebral thought into is just next level. Thanks to both of you, will be watching this frequently
90% of people would be happy with 300 plus consistently.
Life goal, throw a disc like Drew Gibson! Holy crap what an explosion of power!
My bro and I used the same technique as a golf swing since it was our first time this weekend. Seems like it is the same principals with the hip turn and solid head placement. Definitely not about arm strength but windup.
Drew I love how direct you are on explaining. This is how you get better. Sometimes a direct explanation is hiw people learn in my opinion.
It's great to see how Drew "coils" and snaps it like a whip vs. "muscle up" that so many of us do...
@@thetraveler2903 Not sure what exactly he was referring to, but I believe his point was that many players throw primarily with their arm instead of rotating their entire body. The majority of the throwing power should come from hip rotation, not from forcing your arm forward.
Many people when attempting to throw a disc further, hit a golf ball further, throw a baseball harder, etc. assume that they have to increase tension in their muscles (“muscle up”). Research in biomechanics has shown this to be the exact opposite of what you need to do. Drew is relaxed as he approaches the shot and accelerated as if “cracking a whip”. As Brodie mentions... just listen to the top pro’s throws... the sound at the point of release signals a relaxed yet accelerated snap
This is one of those things I won’t understand until it accidentally happens. Like when people told me I had to pop my hand putting.
Big fan of his teaching style. No BS, no fluff, just straight honesty. That’s how I learn best. Great vid🤙🏾
Been playing disc golf for at least 7 years and I am loving learning how to make my game better along with you Brodie. I need this. It's almost like we all have the best in the world teaching us like brodie does.
i played for a year on and off. Started back up again and am determined to learn how to improve my distance! after watching this video (over and over)! thank you for sharing:) My aim is straight forward but once I move my hips, & head right it will go farther! haha
Nothing but great advice in this video! Thank you. I finally am putting everything together and yesterday was throwing just over 450' for the first time.
**IMPORTANT: The one thing that I haven't seen discussed in any disc golf distance videos is the stabilization of the front leg during the release. Drew does an awesome job and is obviously very strong based off of his front leg extension @9:22. I was a pitcher in college and the fastest I clocked was 95 mph. Similar to baseball, you don't want any drift through your front knee as your releasing. You want to stabilize and extend if you can.
i loved watching drew this last weekend. dude is a champ. also really enjoy his hair.
Dude can rip
David Wood you’re one of the few who actually like it 😝
Drew is a beast and the hair is on point so who gives a F$$k who dont like it..
Gibson has to be a fellow metalhead! Drew will be world champ soon. Im gonna call it that it will happen in the next 3 years. I get the same feeling about him as i had about Wysocki before he socki-bombed his way into a world title.
Imagine a person Brodie's size and height with Drew Gibson's form and experience. That would be a monster.
Give me a couple months
Brodie Smith with some good limbering yoga, especially the kind that limbers and strengthens your core and waist, I bet your form would get so smooth and strong so fast!
Of all the "Gain More Distance" videos on UA-cam this is the one people should listen to and study. When you see Drew throw in person and see the power/speed/distance he generates you realize he is an absolute beast of an athlete. If he's giving tips everyone should listen.
Drews a good instructor. He uses common terms, rather than disc specific, and for the most part stays on track and doesn't go on tangents.
I agree with some of the other comments, this was one of the better tutorials.
I love watching Drew throw. Great video Brodie.
Dude rips it
@@BrodieSmith And look how both of you are doing now. It's pretty amazing. Congrats on the progress.
Gibsons a cool guy for taking time to really explain things in so much detail… awesome teachings by him..
My fave thing about disc golf is guys can talk about themselves in a good light, like ‘I’m one of the furthest throwers in the world’ and it doesn’t sound arrogant. Practice makes perfect, and his distance shows how much work he’s put in. I love it. So much respect for Drew.
This is the best distance video I have watched. I took these tips to field work first. Started at half speed and worked my way up to a controlled 90% and a 120% FR mode. I have noticed a huge difference at my local courses. Discing down on many holes and getting my longest drives on the bigger ones. Bringing all my scores lower than ever. Thank you Drew Gibson and Brodie for the video.
Awesome! I threw threw one yesterday for 318ft haha, and thought that was far, of course it rolled 50 ft, so the throw was much less, but it still went that far! I was stoked. Also, Phoenix represents! Love it here in AZ.
500ft here.
150 max here :) kill me
I could do 110m at 13 2 months after i started
@@juhoperala3141 what you mean ”at 13 2 months”?
@@tsk_experiment yeah i started at 13 and after 2 months of training i could throw around 110m
I love watching Drew rip it. I'll be rooting for him this season. Great start at Memorial, he's gonna win some big ones.
Literally studied Drew's form over and over, slomo, and took it outside and practices for days, practice without disc and with and just straight up form and finally got it down. Thank you for this vid!!!
took third in my first tourney! i got FREAKY woulda had 1ST but i accidentally scored my second round wrong and got docked 2 strokes. but it was all a learning experience and set my goals to having a fun time and learn. i did just that so i'm stoked! these videos have been helping me tremendously with getting to understand the game. thank you Brodie
cant wait to see what you do!
I've been playing for 10 years and max out at 380ft. Amazing progress
lmao me too buddy, me too. Me and my pals have been playing for 10 years, we got pretty good in the first 2 years! But completely plataued and haven't improved since haha it's embarrassing (but whatever it's for fun)
Man I’m going to have to save this video. If Drew ever comes to Michigan I would be down for some private lessons. He can absolutely crush and is a great teacher!!!!
Man, I’ve got so much to work on but I will get there! Appreciate this so much. Been playing for about 4 months but have not been working on distance and drives really. Still have issues with consistently throwing over 200. First goal is to consistently and accurately get to 300.
I'm a OG frisbee golf player and a lifelong frisbee head I've taught thousands of people how to throw a disc and virtually every breed of dog how to catch one
I agree with everything he is saying especially the stance it it all comes from your feet,, and your stance , that correct stance not only gives you optimum balance from front to back and right to left it also gives you 180° of which to accelerate a disc, the first 90° should be off your back foot and the second 90° should be off your front foot until your release point try and keep your elbow almost level with the top of your shoulder , avoid trying to overthrow, everybody will throw a disc differently, they all have their own unique thing ,
Whenever I have a shot at the basket I like to put overspin on it with my wrist ,and controlling the distance with the correct amount of velocity from my elbow it will hover above the basket and drop straight down.
This is one of the better distance drive tutorials I've seen. Always wanted to drive atleast 400 but never could get there. This might just inspire me to go at it on a different approach. Great job Drew and Brodie.
Being an novice this video helped me to get forced 250-270 to solid 270-300 with very little effort on force and at the same time my accuracy increased substantially... And all this came just by watching the video and right after that those throws started carrying out right out from the first one. With minor changes and practice I bet I could throw easily 320-350. Very well put tutorial and great examples! Thanks a lot!
First round of my life yesterday, made a 320ft drive on the udisc shot tracker! Very happy with that! It landed where I wanted too! Really wish I’d started playing decades ago. 😓
The "snap" from Drew's drives is so insanely loud. He'll throw a buzz and it sounds like a high speed driver ripping out of his hands at 80mph, it's crazy to hear in person.
Also, lol at waiting for the UDisc measurement to calibrate. Such a relatable moment haha
This was the most useful information i've ever gotten about throwing far. I'm going to watch this on repeat. Brodie, one thing i notice about your form is you do seem to round just a bit still and the disc doesn't really pop out of your hand. I'm not sure if it's a grip thing or a wrist speed thing but the disc just seems to come out....idk lazy? that seems insulting and I don't like to say it but I think that's the difference in when you can hear the disc come out of Drew's shot but you's doesn't sound the same. Just my 2 cents man. You can already throw well farther than me so I probably shouldn't be talking. Super excited to watch you keep improving and crushing some courses!
I wish we all had a paul, drew, Simon or eagle to work one on one with. I will be happy when I can break 350. Keep up the great work Brodie. Looking forward to seeing you on jomez soon.
Right there with you. Been playing a decade and can consistently hit 300, but thats it : /
@@cmu2408 maybe when all this snow is gone, I will have to hit the practice field hard this year.
I feel like this is the next best thing. I'm wanting to hit a field with this video on tap.
Try a sub 160 weight Destiny in tourney plastic or a low weight Shryke in star plastic. These were the first discs I consistently threw 350 with, and now they are the ones that are getting me past 400 consistently, while still being controllable.
@@Justin-tp3lr The snows gone for me at the moment, just waiting for daylight savings in a week so I have more light after work!
Brodie, I've been playing disc golf for almost 20 years now, but I love watching your videos and learning all these new things. I appreciate all this content, and damn if I don't wanna go out and try to go pro now lol
How can anyone being hitting thumbs down.
The greatest form of flattery is imitating.
Thanks Drew and brodie
You rock Brodie!! I've been following you for a while now. Since the stuff you did with dude perfect and bro 5. Independantly from that. I've also been following pro Disc Golf. I watched one round and was hooked, immediately subscribed to JoMez Pro and watched all I could. I often wondered if you would make the transition into disc golf and when I saw you post you're first video with Paul Mcbeth I was so fired up to watch your progression and you do not disappoint. Can't wait to see where it all takes you man. So shout out to you, your wife Kelsey, Paul and Hannah, Simon Lizotte, Drew Gibson, Eagle McMahon, Paige Pierce and the entire Pro Disc Golf community for opening my eyes to this amazing sport. I'll be watching for great things from you Bridie. Much respect
That tip about using your back leg to drive your hips. 🤯 Man I think that's what I was missing. It makes do much sense. Can't wait to go out and try it tomorrow. Thanks Drew and Brodie!
Drew is the MAN! "Gotta get some vengeance in your throw" might be the best advice ive ever heard 👏👏
So glad when Drew said he's typically uses the modified fan grip. It's always been the most comfortable for me and the people who've noticed have told me that I NEED to to change my grip in order to get distance and accuracy.
Just for the slow mo, total thumbs up. Thank you so much! I was reminding other videos over and over and still missing what I wanted to observe. This is phenomenal. I can even record myself slow mo and compare, now. Brilliant!
This is probably the best backhand tutorial on UA-cam and I’m halfway through the video
it's quite sick how much brodie improved his distance in two years coming back to this vid
I love this video. Not because I’m planning on throwing 500 feet (I average about half that distance), but because Drew finally woke me up on the follow through. I’ve played disc for 20 years, but never had anyone give me any good advice/training. I did an online lesson with Scott Stokely and didn’t get beyond footwork. Bringing that left shoulder through is a big deal. I never did it and paid with thousands of horrible throws. Now I’m working on not trying to kill every shot......
When you hit the weights make sure to get a hold Seth Munsey with Disc Golf Strong. Keep those joints healthy and target the important musics for disc golf 💪
Paul places third...Brodie has new coach.
J White I’m sorry but this is funny.
Oh boy lol
Drew was tied for 4th, so he downgraded? lmao
I figured Paul needed the time off. He was limping on Sunday.
LMAO best comment I've seen in a while
Drew is one of those people where his voice doesn’t match what you think it would be.
I sadly agree 🤣
100%
100% it's the same with nikko locastro
I'd say the more I hear / see him the more I think he is more likable, intellectual, and approachable than he appears on the surface. I found myself rooting for him @ the Memorial.
Pat M don’t get me wrong I love drew... it’s just funny.
Drew Gibson has 3 Discs: Buzz, PD2, Luna lol His play last week was so ridiculous. I really like the content he is putting out.
I have watched this a couple of times over the last year but this finally clicked for me. Thanks so much. Literally put 75 feet on my drive.
LOVED watching Drew play this past weekend, making it one of the most exciting Memorials I've seen over the years. Just a blistering pace you guys were pushing out there! Thanks for the tips guys!
The way it was described to me for reaching back to throw, and pulling the disc forward, was like you are pulling a lawnmower cord to start it. a straight line back to forward. It was a great comparison for me to think of. Greatly increased my throw. Great vid.
I liked this video as soon as Drew said "anyone can throw". He really shows that you need to put all your energy and focus into the throw.
This was very helpful. Very similar to the clinic I took with AJ Risley On February 15th, 2020 at Mountain Pride Disc Golf Park in Murrieta, Ca. Thanks, Drew this was awesome! I can't wait to try this and get my hips more engaged to get that power.
Randomly came across this and now want to start playing! :)
Been a Brodie fan for a while and been watching Jomez for the last year or so. Now I'm learning the personalities of the players I've been seeing in the tournaments. Disc golf seems like its full of the nicest people.
This was hugely helpful. I've only played 3 times and am hooked.
I’ve watched some good videos by Simon and others on how to throw farther but Drew really put the icing on the cake for me. Keep up pumping out the great content Brodie!
Just started playing 5 days ago and this helps. Thanks so much. Can't wait to see how quickly I learn
Well? How's it going?
@@ronjones-6977 Doing well. Was able to hit 400ft within 100 days but have kinda plateaus distance wise. Have maxed at 422. But very comfortable and confident at hitting 375 when needed.
Brilliant explanations Drew. "Attack the throw." Thanks to you both for puttin this out there.
I like what I see here, been throwing disk for many years and hope to never stop thanks for this video. With all of these tips, my son will say omg the next time we play.
W
Throw with vengeance. Good name for a disc!!
Great tips. The head control has helped me a bunch. Wish this video existed 10 yrs ago
Your tip on the reach back and keeping it away from you is so helpful. I've never really heard anyone say that and now it makes a lot more sense. I think I've been rounding hard by reaching back behind my body. Great vid!
This is to Drew:
You have to do more videos like this!!! You are an amazing player and have a great attitude and personality but sometimes you put off this bad boy angry mentality.....Videos like this where we get to see fun Drew is awesome and diving into your brain and listening to you teach Brodie is phenomenal!! Keep up the good works bro!
tottaly agree a lot cooler then I thought
Drew going open bag so he can give honest reviews is brilliant. His channel is going to be up there with Jomez within a year. Support it. 🤙
Crazy to watch this now, and think this is only 10 days before the world stopped moving. Brodie has come so far since this!
Thanks for getting this video out there Brodie! Drew is a hometown hero out where I live and we've always wondered what he does to throw so far 😂
Where are you at man? We should go play Rocklin!
@@TRONOFTHEDEAD I wish. I love playing Rocklin. I moved out of California at the end of last year.
Drew giving some super solid advice. Spin Spin Spin. Focus on the spin. I really like what he was saying about kicking off the back leg! That is Gold!!
The progress you’ve made is insane. Sometimes you forget how far you’ve come until you see where you started.
It’s hard to remember to try to be athletic with my throw when I feel like the real purpose of disc golf is to have an excuse to drink beers and smoke bowls at the park
Thats what most casual players do, just like any sport, its a fun hobby. But its also fun to be really good at your hobby.
First, congrats on the 500. My observation is after Drew showed you where to put the reachback and pull in a straight line, Brodie, you did it when you were going very slow. As soon as he showed you about being athletic and popping the brace, you started reaching back in a round motion and leaning in to the shot with the shoulder first. Push the reachback away from your body, get low, and lead with the elbow. I think that was the key that dropped when sped up. You'll be hitting that 550 consistently soon.
Watching your form from this video to where you are now, two years later, it's crazy. You are so much better
One interesting thing I noticed watching Drew throw was his arm at the very end before releasing. Almost like watching a rubberband be loose, then snapping to taut. I bet that creates a ton of backspin. Awesome lesson in technique here. Thank you💯
This guy has to be one of the best driving coach ive ever watched. He truly is a professional at the drive.
Another super helpful video for this humble novice. Appreciate it, gents.
It is awesome to see how excited drew is about disc golf and just teaching how to throw far and the excitement in his voice is awesome!
A lot of people talk hip rotation, but this is the first person I've heard talk about generating power from the left knee by flexion and exploding the knee forward on the hip rotation. It's almost similar to high jump technique where they have them really drive the explosion knee up for power.
Ok I changed my grip to your modified fan and I can't go back. It just feels right for me. I love you.
I wish I had as much power as u guys. If I crush a drive it goes like 350’. Awesome video!
The point about low shots being caused by leading with your shoulder blew my mind.
It’s weird how the disc makes a “uuuuhhh” sound when Brodie releases it
its great example of externtal rotation and a single plane throwing style.. very popular in golf, and made golf way easier for me when i studied external rotation on the internet
Thank you for sharing, this is extremely valuable and very easily understandable advice! This is gold!!! Drew, you are awesome my friend! Brody, keep the vids coming, I get bored when I run out.. this new season has been the best yet with your content!!!
Drew, you are such a good teacher! I hope you have a great year. LVC was incredible!
Dude… wish I could get a personal lesson from drew. Drew you have always been one of my favorite players Great win at Vegas Drew!!!
Me: I wonder when Mr. Get Freaky is gonna post again?
Brodie: This man needs content! UPLOAD!
I got you! Sorry was out filming a video this morning.
I've been watching disc golf videos for 10 years. I'm pretty good at it. If any beginners need a tip let me know.
Christina Drescher I don’t know if you meant that in a joking way, but I’m struggling to get my head around the idea of whipping my arm down and around like I’m swinging a golf club or hammer down and through, like how seabas22 does it. It can do that, but I don’t understand how to do that on a plane that releases the disk flat and doesn’t put an ungodly about of hyzer on it. If you have any ideas, let me know!
Drew!! You’re my favorite player! You’re awesome man, I love watching your content on UA-cam as well
Gibson is an excellent teacher, I like how he explains things, the same way I like the way you explain things.
Drew Gibson is far too cool to be hanging out with you Brody.
I tried utilizing these tips on the course today, and BAM! I easily extended my backhand about 90ft, with less effort. Thanks for sharing this video!
12:25 dude that was smooth as a ninja
The best video I've seen on throwing far.
What’s funny is you can really change your opinion of somebody based off from one good lesson. I watched Drew this weekend at the Memorial and thought he was kinda a douche. Prob just bc he loses his head a bit bc his putting isn’t as good as Eagle, Paul, or Calvin. After watching this, he’s just intense and I like it! Props to you Drew.
The douche is typically guy who calls others douches cough cough
