LAG IS NOT A POSITION!
Sorry for yelling lol. Lag is simply catching your backswing momentum and redirecting it into the downswing. Only way to do that properly is what OT states. #unison
Any recommendations for wrist tendonitis rehab
I watch one of your videos and you completely breaks my form for 2 weeks but then I watch another one and you fix everyhting (I was trying to help the redirect with my wrist and it ruined my release point). This is a very stressfull process but thanks for going back and addressing the little details!
So, you don’t teach the out-in-out v-shaped lead arm movement anymore? Or do I misunderstand?
I worked on this a little and picked up some GOOD distance. I was def focusing on lagging behind before and that made this husky boi throw weak. Messing around with slowing down my shoulders helped soooooo much. Thanks!
This is great, please keep doing this after each video.
Can we get a Data Series vid on shoulder angle? I'm interested in seeing the differences between <90 (collapsed shoulder), strict 90 (McBeth style) and >90~115 (Lizotte/Gibson style). You keep flashing the tracker in this vid, WE NEED THE DATA!
What do you guys think about the “back leg slingshot” disc golf guy having people severely lagging the disc behind? Honestly I’ve only gotten hurt doing what he preaches, but I was curious if that was the method or just me
Beto did the drill 14 years ago..worth a watch
Would love to see a video on elbow and knee braces. I always hear you say you dont like braces when watching your form review. Are a brace and a sleeve the same and what should we wear if we do have a "bad" knee or elbow?
Its a fn drill people. Ugh
Watching these is turning me into Ricky Wysocki 🔥
I've been spending a lot of my free time practicing these drills, and it's been a great help. I still can't launch a disc 400+, yet, but I can consistently send out a fairway driver(usually a Leopard) 280-320 feet with decent accuracy.
I'm almost 40, and I've always been decently athletic and strong, so my natural inclination was to try to use strength to throw far, which, as you can imagine, doesn't translate well into disc golf consistency.
When I used play, years ago, I wouldn't even bother throwing back hand, because I would always try to crank it, and it would hurt, because I didn't know how to actually transfer force into the disc and let it dissipate with a follow-through. I would just throw 200 foot forehand flicks, because that's all I could do without tweaking my shoulders.
Now, years later, after a long time off, I am trying to correct my bad habits. Backhands finally feel decent. I still feel clunky, some times, but I'm never in pain.
I had my best round ever(3 under par) at my local course yesterday. Felt good. I know I can get that down a lot more if I can keep working on my form and really solidify my consistency.
Thanks for the videos.
How does an online 1-on-1 lesson work? I saw a Simon quick tip on one of his vdeos where he says you start the pull forward with the elbow, not the shoulder. When you say the arm starts the motion, should the feeling be pulling forward with the elbow or are you pulling with the hand?
Looking healthy man, I see some forearm muscles showing. Anyways, loved the last analogy about throwing the trash away. I used to not actively throw the disc out because I was worried about "muscling it". I was told "it looks like you're not even throwing it". I'd get good results from athleticism and good footwork/lower, but I'm much more confident now that I throw the disc where I want it by actually using the arm within the appropriate timing and effort window. Thanks for these new videos!
Throwing the trash bag… I think that that statement right there may have helped me visualize what I should be doing a bit more. I think that I may have been letting my disc hand lag a bit more than it should. I'll have to give it a try the next time I head out for field work. 600 feet, here I come!
These latest drills has had the best affect on my game in a long while. Im getting a lot more spin, which has increased my distance quite a bit, but also makes the discs behave the way they're supposed to. A flippy driver will still turn, even if I throw it soft. I used to think power came from the rotation and would basically throw myself into it and start rotating way to early. It wasn't until I recorded myself that I realised my disc was always leaving my hand while the elbow was still bent. So much energy wasted, and would often lead to discs not flying how I wanted to. Thank you so much for helping me figure out this part
Can you contextualize your comments about how the arm leads the throw with slow-mo video of pro's where the leading knee and foot are already pointing a little forward by the time the disc reaches the pocket? It seems the lower body does lead the throw, or am I way off? Maybe you'll cover this in the footwork video? Love your vids and your engagement with viewers!
Cloud breaker held its line after these tips 🤯 subbed!!
whats up, i am concern about the power pocket, left shoulder or the center , where is 90 degree angle, gannon buhr talk about rotate the shoulder.
worked alot to have disc at left shoulder and shoulder rotate more than 45 degree forward to not strongarm the disc, logic is the shoulder slow down after 45 degree, iam not sure duh, if you look at mcbeth he have the disc at left shoulder, and 90 degree elbow and breast is almost forward at release. any idea, thx
Tech discs are expensive. Can I have yours?
hi sir how do I not colpase into the pocket
Hi sir, do i need to think that my elbow should be out and away from the body
Day 1 of asking for a pro form video on Niklas, imo one of the cleanest mechanical forms in dg!
Mikey with the fire outro tune. Great stuff Josh!
These last three videos, the grip one, the lead arm one and this is absolute gold thanks Josh
