What is up YouTube fam robc here welcome into day 23 of vlogmas today we’re going to find out finally for the year 20203 did I actually gain any distance Cowboy Hat’s not on cuz we’re getting serious but of course we’re going to say hey how you doing today Wesley are you having a

Good One oh than no way we posted a video at the beginning of the month talking about where we were at in terms of distance and speed averages and things like that and then on day 16 we showed the new game plan of hey we have these heavyweight dunes and don’t worry I read

Some of your comments people saying like I don’t think that’s heavy enough think you’re heading in the right direction but you need to go heavier all very helpful I always appreciate y’all when you come in the comments and leave constructive criticism and want to have a healthy discussion because I saw this

Feedback I actually reached out to Jesse like Yo dude these yellow ones are fantastic but any chance we go a little heavier any options there and Jesse was all yo what up my brother happy to do that let’s see what we can cook up in the lab and get you something special

And nice and that is how we got these now these are clear Dunes that come in at 185 G which is several grams heavier than the other Dunes that I’m throwing and considering that I’m really trying to use this to not only maximize how far I’m throwing mid-range is but I’m really

Looking to get that distance driver bra prce at 185 G these are at least 10 G heavier than any distance driver that I’d be using and most of the distance drivers that I’m throwing on backhand in the 167 to 168 range which means that these are 17 to 18 G heavier than what

I’m currently throwing which is a lot of weight to be adding got these a couple weeks ago and I’ve been using them in place of the yellow ones still using the yellow ones mixed in there I’m usually going like three clear and then a yellow and I do that from my standard routine

And then for the last five throws of my pitch count I’ve been pulling out Tech dis and seeing what the numbers are actually transfering you didn’t think we’d go a whole video without the cowboy hat did you we want to take a quick moment to thank the sponsor of today’s

Video mud water now you know I love a good diet Coke but the more I drink the more I think about the side effects of it and so I’ve been replacing my afternoon refresh of energy with mud water now while the flavor of mud water

May be a bit unique to some you can fix it up and add just a little bit of honey to it it takes that flavor to a whole new level and I get through my afternoon without the jitteriness or crash that you might experience with Coke or coffee

Throw in the complimentary free fro and I feel like a little Barista in the afternoon mud water is a popular coffee alternative that’s primary ingredient is Rise cacao in fact its secret is the fact that it uses different types of mushrooms so that you get a fraction of

The caffeine that you would get from coffee while still getting the natural energy boost and you don’t even have to deal with the jitteriness on the other side now what are the ingredients you’ve got cacao and chai for that hint of caffeine and that natural hot chocolate likee flavor Lions main included for

Focus it’s got Corps promote Natural Energy and both chaga and REE to boost that immune system plus it’s Whole 30 appr approved kosher y’all this checks every single one of the boxes trust me as someone who tried Whole 30 alongside my wife I was looking for a good tasting

Energy alternative and mudwater checks all of the boxes and the best part is that mudwater is hooking y’all up with a special discount for the holidays by heading over to mudwater docomond that’s mwr.com soundation you’re going to get a host of prizes especially when you use code gratitude at checkout now only

You’re going to get up to a 47% discount but you’re also going to get the complimentary for author as well as a sample of the coconut creamer I want to thank mudwater for sponsoring today’s video and y’all be sure to check them out for that healthy energy alternative at mudwater docomond one

More time that’s mwr.com Foundation now I also saw a comment that asked where am I supposed to get that I’m not seeing these overweight Dunes on Jesse’s website and you’ll notice that this one actually has a stamp that says not PDGA approved but we got to have a reason to keep you guys

Around not just for the distance we’ll talk about how can get your hands on these at the end of the video we’re going to keep this nice and simple nice and straightforward I’ve got my four heavy dunes and I’ve got my three standard weight Dunes throw these on to

The field and see if the numbers lie or if we actually are throwing any further here are our averages of what we were looking at before let’s see if we can beat it so here we are in the field first rip with the Dune it seems like a

Grip lock because it moves off to the right I think we could be argued that it was a grip lock but these two Dunes I got over on them I got my hit point I feel like I threw these pretty far and these both went even though they went

Off screen you can see this one standing up a little bit these all went about 320 330 which felt pretty good I was excited about that this one straight rip finally one that you can see on camera and it’s getting a lot of Glide it’s getting a

Ton of push that one went about 300 and so here I don’t get a hold of it I don’t hit it as well I lose it behind and it goes really straight but not a very powerful throw there once again little a little too much highs there and I lost it

Behind me so didn’t get where I wanted you can see the frustration corrected here and this was easily the farthest of the bunch went about 340 and it pushes out there had a nice height to it a nice turn so we reset right to get into it reminding

Ourselves of the fundamentals and things we’re looking at so we go here and absolutely just shank it into the ground bad first throw starting to get them a little straighter which is fine but I’m getting straighter at the sacrifice of feeling like I’m getting a good hit so

Of those first three none of them really felt like I had any power behind them whatsoever just felt like standard shots and there my footing slipped and so that’s why I went super nose up dead grass not a fan so now I’m focused on my footing

Little low don’t feel like I get the power hit there and it’s just a theme I could feel on this final set that I wasn’t really getting any of the powerful hits that I was on the first one and my powerful hits we’re going to the right so definitely a factor that we

Got to consider you can see the frustration here yeah just so bummed well welcome to the raw welcome to the raw feeling you kind of saw it there at the end of it I in talking with my coach there’s two things happening one to protect my elbow I can’t like there’s

The slingshot double move where you’re what the ball and that method well very athletic for sure one thing that it’s creating is that I think if you get so focused on being rubbery and sling and all that jazz like what you can do is what I’m doing where I feel like I’m

Actually hyperextending my elbow in order to create the elastic effect of you go pop pop to feel the rubber band you hyp extend in the back swing so then when you go to pull through and you whip again it’s just so much tension on the elbows and initial thoughts where I was

Grasping distance I was doing a uh like get to the Target and then explode out the other side but in order to create that explosivity I have created so much pain in my elbow that I can’t get it anymore so we come up with another other’s method which is more of a closed

Feeling and focusing on the elbow and things like that distance is just a thing that plagues me like it’s so frustrating because there are in talking with other coaches out there it’s like they’ve got the distance figured out but they can’t Putt and like putting like

They just can’t get over the mental Wows of putting because I spent so much time working on my putting but I cannot grasp distance to save my life so I don’t even have to measure the last throws because I know the landmarks they were at I mean

It’s 300 like they’re almost all of these drives are landing in the exact same spot at 300 so for failed experiment here in terms of like gaining distance but I also am not quite confident that I’ve given it enough time and enough reps to like actually see it

Because I had to make an adjustment based on what I started seeing in the last few months is I’ve now created so much pain in my elbow that I literally I’ve got to take a few weeks off of throwing or else I’m going to end up taking months off because I’m going to

Injure myself frustrating I’ll add in a quick caveat that I I by no means am I saying like oh yeah I work with Coach T and that’s he’s the one that like caused me to do this and I’m not even really saying that I tried to like Implement

What he’s teaching over there on slingshot it was more so I was trying to let my body naturally find what it needed to do to find explosivity and it went to that when you take that method or that idea of the rubber band and all that to the extreme without proper

Precautions you can end up hurting yourself so thus leaving me with really two results when it comes to my throws are I end up frustrated so then rather than focusing on smooth speed I end up getting frustrated so then I try to throw hard and when I throw hard I

Either have what Happ kept ing on that last set of throws where I can’t I lose the disc behind me so I have no power behind the shot whatsoever or I stay in it and we actually tap into the power and the potential that’s there which you

Saw in the first throws but it ends up holding on a little too long and I over rotate and then I just rip it off to the right so it’s like throwing a shot down the middle there’s pretty much no way for me to get a straight shot with power

Right now based on where my form’s at good news is really Silver Lining is to end the year out because we’ll start with the bad lining which is we didn’t really see that much of a distance increase there we’re throwing these about 300 310 yeah no different than

Before I think part of that you can blame on the fatigue of the body part of that you can blame on Switching so i’ never really like solidified something to let it settle but with the holidays I’m not going to have the time because we are the people that our families my

Wife and I’s families live about an hour away from each other but rather than resting on the holidays we travel for the holidays and end up playing the ping pong back and forth around town we’ll be doing that so I won’t really have time to like throw that much over the next

Two weeks anyway so my arm will get the chance to rest but if you are interested in these heavyweight Dunes while they are not available right now they are not pdj approved so you can’t use them during tournaments and they’re stamped accordingly so that that’s known uh but

These are actually already have dropped to patrons if you’re a trash Pand to Patron so these are available to them but these are going to drop at the beginning of the year in 2024 so be on the lookout trash Panda’s website for these heavy Dunes if you want to join me

In making sure that we put in the word continue grinding to try and gain some distance does mean that we’re not going to be diving in any tournaments at the beginning of next year continue to put in the work and try to get this solved because I can’t I can’t willingly sign

Up for a tournament knowing that I cannot throw hard shots straight that I like my only options to throw hard shot straight are to throw such understable discs on extreme amounts of Heiser but even that has the issue of like I like am going to grip lock stuff way off to

The right what’s not a bummer is that we’re done with today’s video so I hope you guys enjoy hopefully these videos like what I’m just and my frustration of wanting to find distance I throw frisbee so many times so the habits that I have to overcome are just insane that’s not

An excuse that’s just the reality that’s what I have to deal with rather than thinking that there are thousands of people critiquing me I’ll lean into the positive there are thousands of people on my side excited for when we finally start throwing bombs cuz I do taste it I

Do feel it I feel that potential so hope you guys enjoyed have a great your to day please make a fantastic for someone else to happy Merry Christmas weekend and we will see you tomorrow Christmas Eve for day for but for now we’re going to leave you with the Birdie
