To feel like you don't even use the arm, you need to create free power by stretching the muscles in your back and shoulder. If you found this video helpful, you can support me on: / dgspindoctor More stuff: / jaanigoingplaces

Love your style brother and as always good stuff. 👍 I’ve been thinking about how to achieve this paul Mcbeth motion and watching your videos. I’m starting to think It’s beginning to happen. What real has driven it home , is when I began starting from a stand still, and weight shifting forward with my hand going to the hit position. If you imagine a bull whip in your hand and with a horizontal movement instead of overhead, as you draw the whip backwards and then begin stepping forward you have to wait before you can actually pull the whip forward for the cracking back to the hit point. If that makes sense. Appreciate your videos. Thanks

I think I figured out a way to get this stretch feeling messing around in the field this morning after watching this video earlier. I basically rip my lead arm forward (like I am backhanding someone) and throw elbow behind me with my back arm (like in a self defense situation). Once I feel stretch I plant the lead leg.

One thing: Paul's left arm starts moving forward at the same time as his weight starts shifting forwards. So he will be compact when the rotation starts. This is something I haven't achieved. For some reason it's too hard to implement.

So to clarify. You need to activate the lats like if your doing a one armed bent over row. Does that mean the scapula retracts also to help make the arm fire?
@dgspindoctor11 ай бұрын
To clarify: HELL NO. Never did I say to activate the lats. You stretch it, not pull it. If you had watched my videos, you would know I'm strictly against what you're implying. You must keep the elbow out and far away from the body, so everything else but to retract the scapula. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nLSbh6Sb383FloU.htmlsi=Skk2o4e5571net06

So I should try to resist my body opening (as in rotating open) as much as possible to create more lag? Thank you for the interesting vid
@dgspindoctor11 ай бұрын
Not exactly, unless you have troubles opening too early. I teach people to stop the body momentum forward, continue with the elbow and then let the momentum continue around the spine. But if you only try to rotate, your momentum is not going forward to stop, and it leaks to the side. Rotation is a by-product of stopping the momentum, not the aim.

Do you think the number of fingers I use use for my power grip affects my distance? Seems like I get a lot more snap/spin when I use 2 fingers.
@dgspindoctor11 ай бұрын
Whatever gives you the best and most consisten feeling is the best grip.
@njott102111 ай бұрын
Sounds like more of a grip issue. When you grip your disc with more fingers, you might be backloading your grip with your ring finger and pinky. When youre 4 finger power gripping, focus prominently on the index finger, that's the most important one.
@bobdmb11 ай бұрын
thank you, great video! Does the off hand have something to do with also tightening the rubber band?
@dgspindoctor11 ай бұрын
I doubt it. I mean, if you do everything else perfectly, you may try to add something from the off arm. But focusing on the off arm instead of the things that contribute 98% of the throw is just wasted effort. I consider it the supplement of backhand form; you can't fix your poor diet and sloppy workout routine by taking supplements, but if you want to add that extra 2% of gains, you can try and take some creatine and see if it helps. Otherwise, just stick to the basics.
@njott102111 ай бұрын
From what I see, the off arm contributing to the backhand rubber band (as seen in the sling shot disc golf channel) effect seems to be a more high level form add on. There're a lot of other parts of the form that should be focused on before that. As long as your arm gets tucked into your body at the appropriate time, it's on the right track
