Welcome back Justice League!
If you’re like me and you struggle to throw your discs nose down, I HIGHLY suggest watching this video through as I go over something I’ve noticed in my form that’s causing me to do it!
Throwing nose up by nature causes any disc to act more stable as well as loses a big chunk of distance. By following this disc golf tip, you may be able to throw with your nose down more accurately and make more consistent shots that cover more distance! If you want to stop struggling to throw nose down, this may be the video for you!

Do not discount that distance at all! Those were smooth and even if it is a little downhill, those are solid bombs. Looking forward to your progress! Hearing that "tip the tea kettle" metaphor is a good start and it was great to see you put that together with the wrist angle. Really great production on these man. Keep up the great work.
what helped me with the nose up problem was to put the disc in between your 2nd and 3rd finger..right in the gap when gripping the disc..
foot fault
I find that rotating my thumb toward the center of the flight plate 30 degrees or so helps with nose angle and power. It also puts the disc more on my fingertips which helps me with snap. I do have very large hands (10.5”) so it might just be a me thing. I enjoy your videos – good stuff!
if the face of the disc shows itself to you when it turns to left finishing fade that means its nose up .. yes swooping is the main cause tbh..
Disc golf TUTORIALS are so done to death. This is a FRESH take. It's more like…Hey, let's all LEARN TOGETHER. Love that.
Dude love your videos. Clean Filming and good vibes. Thanks for the tips! Trying to get consistent with over 400. It’s work.
You have a great personality for YT, the algorithm keeps putting you on the main list. Here is a trick that is completely missed by current YT coaching…. Think about how your wrist actually works… try the movement of throwing a dart and you will see it moves smoothest at about 45 degrees. Now grab the disc with index finger and thumb and use the dart movement. Notice how smooth it is? So when you throw rotate your right forearm just a bit clockwise to flatten the disc. Assuming you are getting forward weight shift on front leg, the disc will come out flat. That stressing of your wrist joint is very detrimental to the complex structure going into hand, don’t end up with damage later due to the plethora of “non-biometric” coaching on YT.
Albert Tamm is another super slow approach bomber. Over 700ft on a golf line at the distance competition
I had the problem starting the run up starting forward and too many steps. I started my approach from the side and have been able to keep nose down and throw a lot better. Smooth and simple is working for me.
I made a similar change and my theory on why it works is that the Uli and Calvin pump fake motion that they use for timing the back leg adds moving parts for newer players.
Hey God! Don't sell yourself short. Take a look at the PGA teaching greats. VERY FEW of them actually invented anything related to the actual swing mechanics of the sport. If you study the work of scientists who study the body, THEY created the breakthroughs. Most of the great golf coaches, and most skill based coaching in general, become great because they can translate these mechanical principles into language that players can understand and integrate. Be what you is to be, whatever that be. You keep consistently studying the game, learning everyday and most importantly sharing that information with as many people as you can and that is what makes you a teach. If you want an example of this in the Golf world and someone who goes deeper into the science that most any other instructor on tour, check out the work of Dave Pelz and the technology of Trackman. You keep grinding and eventually you could be the Dave Pelz of disc golf and be the first instructor to use radar technology to truly provide instant/accurate/actionable feedback to professional clients all over the world! If you want that is. I expect you have very specific and awesome goals for yourself and your journey in the disc gold community. You belong here as a teacher and your content is something to be proud of each time you post. Cheers! Im gonna take this lesson and see what I can learn from implementing it into my game. I can feel the muscles as I try to imitate your small movements in the forearm. Is do you feel it all in the wrist or do you feel your muscles moving up near the elbow as well?
Well done!
Man my dad used to say “what it is, what it was, what it could be”, I’m gonna subscribe just for that. Nose down is so difficult.
Sometimes I click your videos to just here the intro.
Gonna try this out tomorrow 🙂
'eeey! Just a random comment from a random person, but my maaaaan. Stumbled across your videos a while ago and been enjoying every one of 'em. Content is smooth and you seem like a genuine chill dude. Big ups from the ccccccccccold Finland! So jealous of that…non-snowy field 🤤
I like to aim with my watch. Not that I am wearing one on my throwing hand, but imagining I have one on and aim it at my release point. This helps me get more snap on the disc as well as keeps my nose down by correctly orienting my wrist angle. Sick hat BTW
Appreciate you bro
"Slap the horizon" is something a buddy who got me into disc golf told me, and after a lot of practice it really helped. Basically pick a spot in the distance in front of you in the horizon and try to slap it while following through with your arm. LOVE your reviews and teaching videos btw.
dope vid great tips!!
Great video! Keep it up
That distance for less than a year is pretty sick. The next generation of disc golfers who are starting even much younger are going to be something else.
I can't wait to try this, this makes a lot of sense.
Thanks for the video!
Pour the coffee, then turn the key
Scott Stokely pretty much said this. So this is definitely legit.
Dont, "pour the coffee "
Instead, "turn the key"
Dudes been playing 7 months and hitting 450… Sheeeesh. I've been playing about the same and having issues getting to 300
come on bro! 450 foot toss is no joke.
Definitely should have DP on your channel and have him break down his form. He's got pro tour potential and some of the most clean and compact form+distance on the planet. Once again great video, very enjoyable to watch i'm definitely taking notes on editing and production
Good rips bro , killing it 💪. Good tips. Thank you.
Bonopane grip is working for me. You might try it.

This actually such a good tip. That is what I was doing wrong as well while I was "pouring the coffee" Also the wild honey is my go to bomber.
Nah you’re crushing it bro. This is my first year playing too and this is giving me some inspiration
You just single handedly fixed my nose up problem, and I've tried everything! Even this tip lol, the first year I started I figured this out near the end of the year then the off season hit and I 100% forgot I was doing this and started working on everything else but nose angle. I guess I just never developed the muscle memory. Three years later and you come down with this revelation and now my discs are flying like they should have been..for years. True disc golf justice if you ask me. Huge thank you!
Great video! Looking forward to more. Thanks man. Insta sub’d.
I Tried this after i watched this video, and it helped me alot!! So Thanks for the tip!🤩
