hey hey!

Correct!

You’re welcome!

Not necessary. I think Cory Ellis does a three step all the time right? Mostly momentum and alignment purposes

The only thing I’ve got for you on that is the disc doing the pivot. Other than that must be magic

@@OverthrowDiscGolf I love it!

I do enjoy volleyball. Hard to say how good I am but I did have a nasty topspin serve. The arm being loose is super important though

Oh that is cool

Apologies. I know this is an old comment. Could you explain how you use the squeakers?

@@citizenzombie sure, so assuming Josh agrees with this methodology, lots disc golfers will for example sometimes throw off their toe on their run up and it can be hard to break that habit, the squeakers would be great solution for that because u would have to wait for the weight to hit ur heel creating squeak noise and then u can really start to release the disc, I think it would be great for putting too because when people get tired I think the tendency is to putt of the back foot, hope that makes sense

@@tylerpohler3271 Wow. Thanks Tyler! I actually always revert to putting off my back foot... not matter how much I try to remember not to. I'll be giving your squeakers a try.

I don’t know the difference between a normal spine and a thoratic spine. 😂 but the upper body as a unit could back together

@@OverthrowDiscGolf This is a tough one to explain in words, but I can try. What the OP is asking about is whether a specific region of the spine is meant to rotate or whether active contraction of shoulder muscles is what causes the "coiling." The spine is anatomically divided into 4 regions: cervical (neck), thoracic (rib cage), lumbar (lower back), and sacral (connecting to and going down through the pelvis). I believe the answer to his question is that there is some rotation of the lumbar and thoracic spine and the initial "coiling" comes partly from that, instead of coming from forcing the shoulders toward each other. Having said that, initiation of the throw comes from reaching the back hand toward the leading leg's pocket and at that moment there is contraction of that shoulder forward and toward the other.

@@shawnkimball5019 thanks for the reply, and I believe you are probably right. The reason I was wondering is due to the fact that, oftentimes, spinal movement bleeds torque and ruins force transfer (rotation in the spine during running is usually due to weak and tight hips and decreases efficiency). So, I wasn't sure if rotation actually ruins the bracing of the core. I would be curious to know of there is movement of the spine in other rotational movements (like tennis or baseball).

@@andrewjohansen640 I think it'd be amazing to hook up pro players with sports physiologists and rig them up with sensors all over during a throw to really establish tension points, relaxation points, and muscle firing sequences.

Putting is a whole different story. Straddle that thing if it’s working

@@OverthrowDiscGolf yeah no more 15ft misses for me 🤣.

It hasn't changed much. The angle out of the power pocket is new for me though as you saw. I try to keep any changes public like we did here so that people know where my head is at

Cheers. Heres to a winter of trying to build this form

You can do a 4 step. I think simon even does it during some of the footage we gathered with him. If you can start with that step and get lined up accurately go for it!

Its even easier to go with 3 steps, makes aiming so much easier. Over 3 steps is imo useless, unless your going maxium distance and you can throw at least 400ft.

Lateral and rotational at the same time. Yes

Bending at the waist.

@@OverthrowDiscGolf dang really? Have y’all made a video on this? I wasn’t able to find anything if so

@@nowalt24 we have. It’s called controlling backhand angles.

Probably

Courses are more punishing than field work when you miss your line so it’s much more obvious when you make a mistake.

Depends. If it is a 5 step walk up to the side then it is going to be difficult to get lined up properly.

@@OverthrowDiscGolf I only have a 3 step . Starting with my right foot , then small back x step plant front foot and release . I did start positioning my self straighter to start yesterday and did find a slight more hip engagement .

Its always the same, you just slow down your steps. Lizotte or Mcbeth is a very good example.

Nope. 3 step is acceptable I think.

Sorry. We’ve got a video with that already though. The walk up step By step. It’s in the description

There are currently no disc golf teaching experts by accolade

I was just thinking some people with bad or different form can throw mega far. There are a lot of tips out there and was wondering how they came up with this style. My form isn’t perfect but emulates the typical throw but my distance is lacking. Been playing with disc golf discs for around 20 yrs.

Gotta hit those 90s

There is a backhand playlist that is very chronological
