A relatively short discussion about the consequence of “Power Gripping” with the disc golf backhand. This is a huge overlooked stumbling block for players, particularly players who pick up the sport as adults. Two lengthier conversations about the physics of the “Rubber Band Effect” are coming soon!
And let’s see if we can’t get some Galactic tier power production swinging so hard with every part of the mechanism now my entire body is going into the disc now I don’t know how fast these are but I’ve thrown 60 M an hour for most of my
Disc golf life and this feels on a completely different plane you can see how insanely efficient the force production is how little I actually have to do I just walk out of the shot and the violence of the Swing is just ridiculous you can hear the sound of
It just this concussive thud the trick is the grip oddly enough the final piece so many videos that you’ve probably watched in your disc golf Learning aspirations have started with a singular Maxim when I throw far I start with the power grip it’s four fingers on the
Underside real tight thumb down here on the flat plate you want to grip the disc real tight so you can hang on to it and really throw it hard how many times have you heard that when you try to learn to throw what if it’s the reverse that if
You hold the disc lightly as you can possibly manage and still have it in your hand cradle like a delicate egg like a Fab egg when your arm is loose and Whippy it is insanely elastic it’s like a giant rubber band the thing that all the guys like Simon and Eagle have been
Cryptically talking about for years the rubber band well the only way a rubber band works with proper tension is if it’s loose the whole time and you cannot be both loose and hard power grippy they’re at odds with one another biome mechanically of course such a simple thing just watch these throws it’s
Ridiculous so smooth so powerful I feel like my entire body is swinging into the weight of the disc and the motion itself is so abbreviated you can throw it fast I got two drivers left the uh the shrikes that got backto back Aces on whole one at North Park back to
Back I’ll tell more of that story in one of the videos in the series but brace SC was a little off there like I’m overreaching for power better well method 2.0 coming soon to a social media site or YouTube company near you I guess but the original or the actual full videos are
Going to be available to the broader public probably within a couple of months there’ll be teaser material pretty soon I expect within a month or so but we’re past the Final Cuts in this transformational documentary series freeto playay series by the way we’ll be showing up very soon stay tuned
