HOW TO CONTROL YOUR ANGLES

  • One of the most frequently asked questions for me is "how do I control the angle of my disc?" or "What part of my body controls the angle of my release?" I have never analyzed angles before so this is pretty new to me. Hope you can take away something to work on to get more consistent angle control.

    Simon: “466’ putter shot...not bad.”
    Me: 400ft distance driver shot. “OH MY GOSH IM THE NEXT DISTANCE CHAMPION. OPEN HERE I COME.”

    500 feet. Srill, 465 +/_ 13 feet is not bad on a first throw.

Simon, your tips have been invaluable to know that when I begin throwing, I'll be doing it the CORRECT way and not learning any bad habits right out of the gun. Will be starting this weekend!
