  1. I like this “how to throw specific types of shots” series.

    Could you cover max distance backhand lines? Anhyzer in general is a challenge, particularly keeping the nose down, bracing properly, etc. Thanks for all you do!

  2. ROLLERS!! YES! Love the Disc trace and the examples and demos where to use them👊🏻TY!

  3. My preferred way to throw rollers is to attempt a normal shot and slip because I never worked on ankle stability after 83 sprains in high school basketball

  4. This stability, is it going off the flight numbers? Cause I have a bunch of things that are like -1 stability … But they are so beat in they make my 148 gram beat in dx leopard look stable and those ones never roll stamp side, while my aforementioned leopard normally curls stamp side.

  5. Man, I have been watching a lot of your videos lately, and you are killing it with the weight loss man! Also, thanks for the awesome instruction, I feel like I'm getting more consistent with my standstills and 1 step shots, and might start to try an x step.

  6. I have a significantly better understanding of throwing rollers than I did 9 minutes ago. It's a keeper. Smash.

  7. Not sure I agree with with the hyzer being a more powerful shot than anhyzer if done correctly. Eagle set the speed record for backhand at 86 mph throwing anhyzer roller with a PD2.

  8. Excellent explanation of the roller. My favorite driver is a sidewinder bc it is so versatile and naturally a good roller when thrown correctly. I am now curious to try with stable and overstable discs to see their reaction as well. Thanks!

  9. One of the best bogey-to-birdie shots, especially with the forehand where the forced roller is a much easier to execute and allows for very long rolls with overstable discs.

  10. I noticed that you have dropped significant weight. Awesome! Keep it up. You have to be getting around courses much easier and feel better overall.

  11. Always funny when you come across courses that despise rollers. Thanks for the info sir!

  12. What do you call it when you just throw into the ground for a roller because you are playing from jail and have no air shot at all?

  13. My 6yr old throws a fantastic flick roller with a 158gr tl3. His flick roller in general is solid. Im quite jealous of it.

  14. I think its a very nice touch to see you actually throwing a shot on the course. Also the follow flight graphics were very dope

  15. I absolutely love the tracking lines when you were putting down the rollers. So much easier to see. Tyvm. 😁

  16. i wonder how many people think that Falling creek is like 10min from LC. Great video! thanks for helping with something no one ever addresses

  17. Man, c’mon Mikey …. zoom in so we can see the roll 😅😐. Edit… just the first few were rough. Excellent job on the rest (never doubted you)
