If you are looking for a legitimate disc golf coach, look elsewhere. DG Spindoctor does not possess the qualifications or the integrity to earn your support. Not only does he, at times, present information that is incorrect, he actively seeks to censor and remove anyone who questions him or presents facts that disprove his statements. He lacks a clear understanding of the terminology as it relates to disc golf, which is a KEY FUNDAMENTAL when teaching someone. It would also appear that he jumps on here and argues his false points on other accounts, which shows an even further lack of integrity. He is doing everyone who takes his word literal an injustice, and he should not be supported. This comment will likely be deleted, because of course, he lacks integrity and seeks to censor those who show him to be wrong. If you are trying to do yourself a favor by seeking knowledge so that your game can grow, you’d be better served literally anywhere else.

This is the best explanation and demonstration of the coil and reach back I have seen. Bravo!

Yours and Scott Stokelys videos are hands down the best form/advice videos out there. Every time I watch one of ur posts I always come away feeling like I learned at least one very important piece of knowledge.

As an older player I can’t thank you enough for this video. The ravages of time make it difficult to get through a round at times. Doing it the wrong way invariably takes more energy. You helped me do more of my favorite activity. 🤠

I want to thank you for this video. I’ve been waiting for my “ah ha!” moment and you delivered it to me on a silver platter. I was reaching out far on my “reach back” to make myself longer and it was causing my timing to be off. I was trying to get over my lead foot too fast before I braced and I couldn’t fix it because I was off balance. I shortened my “reach back” today and I was throwing farther with much less effort. It made it sooo much easier to brace before I threw! Thank you again for this video 💪

Honestly, this tip/video is probably the best bit of advice and explanation I've ever seen (as far as throwing discs is concerned). It makes SO much sense, much more so than any other explanation I've seen so far. Clear (very), concise, straight to the point, at seems at least to be exactly on point............fantastic. Your title says that it really is simple, and it is..........but I've never seen anyone else lay it out so. THANK YOU for posting this. I've never subscribed or followed any channels before....this is the first time ever that has tempted me. I will absolutely be checking out all your other content for sure, at the very least.

Your teaching on tilting a little bit to the front and then coiling was a light bulb to me! It feels very right! Now to the field😊

I also had the same thought that it would force a hyzer, I'll have to do some field work and see how it goes. I can tell you that I replicated your tilt & twist while I was standing in front of the computer and I felt it all the way through my core (which I hadn't before.) I'm kinda stuck at about 320ish feet and I know I'm missing something...I'm hoping this helps :) BTW, thanks for your instruction videos. I always find them helpful!

I’ve probably spent 20hrs trying to get this hip motion linked. I’ve done Muay Thai and know how to transfer power from hips to feet forward, but now hips to has hands backwards has felt awkward. This video instantly clicked, engaged abs and whole body. The reach back is more like the finish of a bowling throw than reaching out starting a lawn mower, as I was doing. Thanks!

Love your vids. Short, sweet and thought provoking! Good stuff.

Your ideas are always so helpful to my game! Cant wait to try this out in my practice!

Y’all are so lucky to get these kind of quality videos now. When I started they taught everything wrong, and when you start off wrong and continue it for 4-5 years, it’s damn near impossible to change. Great video 👏

❤. Thank you!

This is one i will watch many times...well, I watch most of your videos many times. Thanks so much!

Great video Doc! Greatly executed explanation of a proper coil !!

Excellent ! Thank you !

❤ Thanks for your videos, they have added 100-150’ to my drives over the past year.

Excellent! thank you!

As always! Thank you sir.

💚Thank you sir

❤️ great video, and I heard my question in your video! Going to try the down and coil method tomorrow.

Can't wait to try and incorporate these tips in the field. Thanks!

Just yesterday I was trying to explain this very "coil" position to my friends. And today you post your video. Excellent!! ❤

Thanks for the good tips!!!❤❤

All your videos are very good. You explain and shed light on all the right ways to throw discs and also show what most of us are doing wrong that we might think is the way. I've watched tons and tons of disc golf form instructional videos and yours are the ones that actually help me lose bad habits and try to get my form to a better place. Thank you for that.

Best teaching vids by far !! ❤

Luv!!!!

One has to love how you keep demolishing the foundational concepts of disc golf! By 'demolishing' I mean showing how the concepts were fundamentally incorrect -- and showing how to re-think the very basics of the game. (By 'incorrect' I mean that the techniques shown were probably right but the concepts themselves were explained using incorrect language [such as reachback, which caused me to lean back], which led people like myself to misinterpret them). I am in the process of unlearning years of learning of misleading and incorrect concepts and learning how to fix my form. I find your videos perhaps the most informative -- and ground-breaking -- that are out there. Have also found a lot of help from the Overthrow videos. There are other occasional useful ones, but yours are certainly the most consistently transformative. Then there are lots of videos I wish I had never seen and followed when beginning my journey -- but then again, you were not around yet at that time.

Five minutes and forty seconds of pure and precise information. Thank you.

Thank you ❤😊

Spin Dr hits another one out of the park, well done!!!

Good information!! 💚 The best form coaching content by far, everything is so simple and to the point, I just need more time to put it all in practice ;)

Pure gold as usual! That body position also makes a lot of space for the disc to whip through the pocket. Big points here are keeping your weight center and creating a coil between hips and shoulders. I think one issue some folks have with learning how to do this is that they tend to reach out too far without getting the disc back in which can lead to shoulder stretch injuries. No matter how far away from the body the disc is on the reach out (back) make sure it comes back enough so your elbow gets back into the 90 degree angle before final release.

♥ You always explain everything out.

Thank You! This was both greatly informative and also slightly crushing, corrected an unrealized major error but also highlighted how I've been practicing bad form and have some retraining to do. I appreciate your effort and thank you for the different perspective.

Good stuff thanks!

♥ So good.

I really appreciate your explanation of this! I have been struggling when learning to throw nose-down to not throw a late release anhyzer shot and this feels like just the thing fix all 3 of these errors! I don't have these errors when throwing a mid-low power standstill shot (not engaging much more than my arm and shoulders) so this really seems like it might be my issue.

Great video! Thanks for the very helpful information and perspective!

Thank you for this..trying it tomorrow and will report back here results 🤙🏽

Thanks for all the video, DG! The only thing I'd like to see here is a breakdown of how this would be integrated into the X-Step/a tee-off throw. What is the timing of the coil? When should it happen? As soon as your lead foot starts coming off the ground, or more as you're in the middle of coming forward with the lead foot (but not yet planting), or right before the planting of that lead foot? It would also be great to see the sequence show how the coil creates that "reach" (what is the throwing arm doing as you're coil and how is it getting to that reach point as you're coiling). Stuff like that. Just a slow breakdown of the progression and implementation in an actual throwing sequence. Thanks again for the content!

🫶 Good content. I’ll work on it. That shot by Eagle was poetry in motion 🦅

I have been playing discgolf for 1 season in total. I usually never throw backhand becaus I have alweys felt like i was throwing into myself or through myself when im about to launch the disc from my "Reachback". After watching your video yesterday i went out to a empty fotball field today and spent about 2 hours just throwing my 5 putters. Today i threw my putters the same distance i have been throwing my FD discs.... I then went to a local field where i usually play about +4 to + 10, i only used my putters this time and got my new personal best at +1 My comments on youtube are years apart from one another. But I worked as a gymnastic teacher and the best part about teaching is when you can see the appritiation in their eyes and know that you have helped someone, You can't see it in my eyes, but atleast i can share it with you on this channel. Thank you so much. Love from Norway.

I’ve been doing the coil with my torso but I’ve never thought about leaning forward a bit I feel like that would help reduce hitting my chest during the power pocket phase of the throw great video I’m glad you put these out without charging

Thank you!! Just the tip I needed to be more consistent. Would love see a video with Jacky Chen and show case the local disc golf scene

Really good video that makes coiling easy and that Eagle shot is one of my favourite shots of all time but I think it might be a hyzer flip

As a beginner who makes all of the mistakes you’ve addressed, I thank you for this video!

Great vid as always ❤

That was good advice,again,thank’s doc.❤

Went and tried this and had really positive results..it felt completely natural once I tried a couple times..shots were consistently going further and more importantly accurately where I aimed..able to achieve the “s” curve I’ve been not able to achieve as well..thank you for this!

Great video as always! The way I built a mental cue to feel this movement is to sit in a chair with both of my hands angled in about upper chest height. My hands are about 4 inches apart from each other and they are about a disc's width away from my chest. My elbows are also slightly pointed out, it looks almost like a boxing guard position, but not quite as high. I then keep my hands and elbows locked in that same position, but I coil my body to try and almost touch my left knee with my right elbow. This created the aha moment for me on how to feel the coil you are describing and when I am practicing I actually visualize sitting in the chair and coiling my right elbow down to my left knee. As soon as I get that coil I extend my throwing arm away from my body so that I can feel that coiled, pre-throw position. I know everyone has different cues and ways to feel things, but this worked incredibly well for me and it's so easy to feel the coil when you do this in a chair. Also, one thing I just noticed in this video is that if you slow down Eagle's throw it almost looks like his first kinetic movement is his left foot leaves the ground and shoots forward towards the front leg.Maybe I am unable to see some subtle hip or knee movements because of the angle, but I thought that was interesting. Especially in the context of your last video on toe tap.

great video man and cool for you to keep it free for the ppl out there!

Always good concise explanations.

Thanks for new and more perspectives of form!!! :-) Would be lovely to hear your coil viewpoints on what angle difference between hips and shoulders make to your control and power ("rubber effect"). Eagle is one that is extreme in it. Tiger Woods in ball golf, for example, was well known for this ability. Can you make a video on this? ;-) Thanks again for good videos!

WELL DONE VIDEO

It's crazy, but it wasn't until like 3/4 of the way through this video that I realized it wasn't about golf lol. Everything you just said applies to both sports and for the exact same reason, so for those trying to create power in a golf swing this is an excellent video as well about how to coil properly. Great stuff!

Kiitos näistä videoista!

I'll have to try to do this and see how it feels. I only throw standstills though.

♥ Now the 'reach back' finally makes sense. I'm renaming it the 'front coil' so I don't forget.

Thank you sir

Fantastic information

Could you do a video on elbow position, ulnar deviation, wrist supination? Basically, the biomechanics of the throwing arm. Thanks Doc!

Gonna watch this a couple times and head on out to the field

Kiitos, tää auttoi paljon.

Great video.

thank you

🫀 good things!

❤️ Great stuff

This is critical for me to hear right now, thank you. I have been playing poorly for over forty years. I love the game, but I have a brain I jury that makes uncoiling my body almost impossible, as the act of rotating my body causes vertigo, and the whole world begins spinning wildly. I'm currently forearm dominant. However, I would like to add a back hand to my repertoire. I think this less spinny style might work. Critically, I need to keep my head facing the same direction. I'm in my sixties, so flexibility is an issue. This might sound like a lot of whining, but I'm just working towards my personal best. Thank you for helping!

cool, breake down. ill explore it on my next training. side question: are you sowhere in south-east asia?

❤ kinda mad at how long I've been playing and I'm finally actually learning to throw. hopefully between you and OT no one else will spend 7 years playing before they actually understand how to move a disc.

You're making the competition better which I don't like. . Jk excellent as always.

Good stuff

❤❤❤

ive solved my understanding issue now my shot is perfect 550ft hyzer flip in tailwinds on basically not even a xstep but not standstill just 1 step i guess.. Eagles talks about pushing out the disc straight from the chest and i did this sideways to target which creates a bad L shaped pull through but if you combine the push out with more back to your target and a coil the push out creates a straight pull through line that still gets the whip effect!

💚

This could just be the thing that unlocks my throwing potential. I have always done the "lean on to the back leg" thing before instead of coiling and gotten 200ft at most.

I'm about to watch this after work. The thigh master thing seems like it's going to help! I was having a point where I was reached back/coiled with both feet on the ground and squeezing toward each other. Does that sound right?

❤️

🐐

❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍💯🥏 Good tips as always, just the thing i had some struggle with checking my own throws from video from last session. 👌

What are your thoughts on getting maximum spin? I know more spin equates to more distance. However, I dont see any tell tell signs of top players doing the same things to achieve it. Am I supposed to curl my wrist around the disc more? If so, exactly where...pre pocket, the pocket, etc.? A video of your thoughts would be great. I'm 60 and have been playing for about a year, and with the use of your videos, I'm hitting 300 feet consistently, but I believe I can hit 350-400. Keep em coming. Thanks!

❣

I just recently understood what coil really meant, after 18 months of excessively reaching back. For me a good cue was to rotate the left shoulder towards the target.

♥

💙

For RHBH, if you lean back (to the left) does that cause you to relase the disc high up into the air? Also how you do coil and not throw on a hyzer? Ive tried something like this and couldnt get the disc flat.

Good info. I've been forgetting that down/forward first move in the coil. That's where I get messed up. Good stuff. Sorry, I can't do emojis. I'm of a certain age and we think those things are a little tootie fruity ah Rudy. No offense.

The cues "reach back", "pull through", and "start the lawnmower" have caused more harm than good for many (if not most) players starting to learn how to throw.

Do you coil against the front leg or back leg? When I do it, my front leg hasn't landed yet, so I have nothing to coil against, unless I use the back leg, and that causes timing issues. 😂

💟 coil>reach back

Heart

thanks for the video. I will give it a try on my next practice. The thing I disagree is the video of Eagle McMahon. He is throwing a hyzerflip, not an anhyzer.

4:11 and pause "looking at right picture" if you held your body still and pulled through with arm the release point would be like 2oclock vs 10oclock.. what i did was put my right foot more to the right so almost like im throwing slightly left of my target but in reality its not bcuz now my pull through line is actually straight bcuz ive shown more back to 10oclock vs you more like a out in and out motion! this tweak has my lines incredibly accurate at nearly any distance with any wind condition! lmk what you think about that realization hoping its not just a me thing but something that is legit for everyone..?

Like the lesson. Telling ppl what to do never works, but letting ppl visualize it does. One note though, that Eagle shot didn't really look like an anhizer but more of a hyzer flip. He might have thrown the disc somewhat flat but certainly not with right on it.

🎉

okay Eagle has the manliest huck face in the game. didn't expect that.

Are those vivos? If so, how do you like them for DG?

This is good for accuracy too?

That turnover that Eagle threw was a hyzer flip that turned over. But still, I agree with your overall assessment of the coil. I just also think that mastering the hyzer is what truly unlocks real shot shaping, since the hyzer can be the foundation of all shot shapes, disc depending.
