I immediately went outside and threw the very first good forehands of my life, incredible, thank you!!

You're the first person I've heard say to choose your arm angle based on your own comfort and experience, that's a breakthrough for me, thank you!

Dude your shot at the end looked damn near effortless, which I need to keep in mind. Once I started breaking 350+ foot backhands I realized how the motion is smooth and "effortless" - obviously there is some effort involved. I'm going to keep the effortlessness of your throw in mind next time I go out to practice forehands, thanks for the tips!

I like the educational videos please keep pumping..lol

Keep turning out the instructional videos. Maybe do one showing how wind affects a throw or putt. When I was beginning in disc golf, this was a topic I wish there was more instruction on. Maybe discuss disc selection based on a tailwind or headwind. And how the wind direction will affect putts. I think that would be very useful for those just getting into the sport! Great video. Appreciate the efforts!

I can’t thank you enough man. Like many disc golfers, we don’t actually get any real training. Our buddies just let us go out there and throw and we never really develop proper technique despite knowing we are throwing incorrectly. I’m a good forehand thrower but man have I been throwing wrong!!!! You just helped me tremendously!! After years, I’m finally feeing good.

I started discing in the 90s and, after a long hiatus, I'm on the course(s) again. A few arm injuries have me switching to a forehand for drives. Thanks for the much needed help!

Great video. Being someone with a bad lower back, the forehand has been a game changer for me. So much less torque on the lower back!!!

Thanks for your help. As an aging disc golfer who is "getting back into it" after retiring, I need to develop this throw as I have lost lots of distance in my backhand. I am amazed at the distance you can get with minimal input. My drives still flop like wounded ducks. I can use the forehand fairly well for upshots, but when I try to add in more power, I don't get close to the needed distance. Nice Video!

I just started playing. I had played before a few times, even though I enjoyed it, I was always pissed half the time. After one video on grip and the forehand throw I half-heartedly tossed my disc. The disc went straight and farther than any throw or drive I’d ever had…that Tin Cup thing about the loins…I’m hooked. Keep it up.

Great video! I have a feeling that your grip suggestions at the start is going to be a game changer for me. Thanks a lot for sharing! ❤

Love how this video brings together the main topics (and challenges) of the forehand throw. 👏

Hey this helped my forearm more so then any other video!!!!!! Thank you so much keep pumping these out!

Thanks! Quick and simple. I've been wanting to get back into disc golf from a 15+ year hiatus so this is very helpful!

The informational vids are always a great watch.....keep em coming

Thanks. I'm new old guy. Played playing Frisbee years ago. Did 2 dusk golf sessions. So yes great video.

Yes, instructional videos (to me) are the best. I struggle with sidearm throws, so I will give this a try. I am a lefty and need the sidearm shot.

I love your educational videos. I am always looking to get better

Thanks for the information I love learning and these types of videos help so much. Thank you again

I needed this video. I’ve been doing backhands throws and killing my shoulder, that i have problems with due to an injury. I started trying this yesterday and now i can refine it and actually have good drives! Thanks!

Just started getting a fairly consistent good forehand. Looking forward to videos like these.

I took your guidance of throwing the way that feels best for you. Until the last 2 weeks, I was trying the traditional sidearm and couldn’t get it to work that well for power. But this video gave me the encouragement to try something else. Now I’m ripping power forehands with a baseball 3/4 arm throw. I use neutral-slightly overstable discs so I do lean/tilt forward. But I’m now throwing 350-380 relatively accurately where as I previously was throwing 260 inaccurately. Thanks for the video and keep ‘Em coming!

This is the content I need in my life. Thank you.

Fantastic video can’t wait to give it a try today!

It was a good demonstration ! Agreed it does come down to what works for each person.. I too do a little x step for fluid motion build up keeps me in line so to speak.

Wow! A 5-second revelation for me. A fan forever

Educational videos are awesome, keep it up! Thanks

Thanks for the detailed instructions. I’m a newbie & need all the help I can get!

Yep! This just did some real clicking for me. Appreciate it man

Ahhhh man I was serving the pizza all last year. Definitely no bueno - caused a shoulder injury. Didn't even think of the grip so that was super helpful. Thanks!

Love the tutorials!

Been trying to fine tune my forehand. I appreciate vids like this. Thanks

I like these kinds of videos... they help my students learn these techniques.

I dug this video. Thanks!

Very helpful pls keep making these videos

Thanks mate! This was a great vid 😊 subscribed immediately

This is what I've been needing. Thanks!

Really nice tutorial. Covered all the basic steps rather than assuming we know. Appreciate all the side views. That helps a lot! Would like to see a backhand roller tutorial in a similar format. How to adjust for different wind directions.😊

Excellent video. Thank you.

I like it! Very calm, collected and easy to listen to. I still use only my index finger for my grip, though, not the two-digit stacked grip.

I tried the stacked fingers thing after watching this video and got an ace on literally the very first throw. Thank you for the solid advice!

Great video. Please make content for distance drives, stance for driving and for putting distance improvement. Thank you!

This is great, thank you very much

Forehands for the win! I just got a forehand skip ace 2 days ago

Yes please more forehand content and info in general

Thanks for the education video

Like your tips thanks !

Great one, keep up the good work

I did get disc set in Christmas gift from my son. The weather has has been awful since Christmas and I haven't tested my disces yet. After this film im consider only throwing forehand 😂

Very helpful instruction and tips! I would, as much as many say disc flight #’s aren’t that important… if when you suggest or indicate a specific disc you are using in any example throw that you share at least the turn and fade #’s… this would allow those getting some practice after your tutorial they can likely pull a similar flight disc from their bag as opposed to going out and thinking to purchase the disc you used in the video. Just saying… I for one would appreciate that effort. Thanks again for the solid training! 🙏💪🏼

Good advice

Love the video. I'm a baseball player and love the comparison to baseball pitchers. If you want to keep up the baseball refer nice. You're walk up is just like a baseball crow hop that outfielders will use or a shuffle from your infielders.

Thx! Good video!

I just started to play disc golf, I really enjoy driving in a forehand style I have a decent distance but no control at all, I will try you tips tomorrow…. I am wondering if I should practice more my backhand throw (which I feel super uncomfortable doing) or if it’s viable to be a mostly forehand shooter Thanks for doing this !!

Keep up the tutorial videos. Quick videos covering a different scramble shot would be cool.

Keep up the good work

1 minute into the video, and I've already discovered how to improve my forehand. Now if it would just stop raining, I'd try it out.

Thank you. Trying to learn disc golf at 63 , retired. I am curious where the left hand is supposed to maneuver/ go.

Here I am a former pitcher AND ultimate player….this has really made me think!

I like it!

Love forehand clinics

Used to play a lot but stopped for about 5 years. Used to throw forehand most of the time, but now trying I swear my shoulder fell right off. Excited to go see if my techniques got rusty and this might help!

Great content. Everyone makes fore handing a disc seem like it is some kind of voodoo magic, but it's really not. Question for me, being a dominate forehand player for 8 years now, how important is that plant foot being pointed straight? I'm able to get 300-325, but really accurate 275-300, and noticed my plant foot is not pointed straight at the target. Making sure I'm not missing out on something, or if that's just my form I've developed. Normal shot for me is either a flat or hyzer flip up shot. I really don't just crank on a over stable flex shot unless that's the shot needed.

Chris Clemons has some great old forehand tutorial videos and def talks about feet

Great video. Please consider outlining the flight of the disc and showing us the different types of throws you covered with associated disc (ani/hyzer/over/under).

1.5X playback speed Approved. Nice video.

Hey there, I started playing discgolf recently and Im a big 6'8 (former bball player) guy and my hand is a bit bigger aswell :D do you have some suggestions regarding the grip to me? And also which driver would you suggest for me? I personally think that i have a better throws with heavier discs than with the lighter ones... Love from Slovakia!

My step up is MASSIVELY different 😅 I point front toe to target back foot is perpendicular shoulder with apart. Then back leg comes forward behind front foot to cross step and build torque in the hips as I pull back and then just stepping forward to crank everything into it.

Great video but when you're releasing the disc your fingers shift at 6:08 your fingers shift, is that what normally done?

I naturally learned to stack my middle finger on top of the index finger (and can get about 400ft distance) but I've been dealing with joint pain in my index finger after only a few throws (that stays even after disc golf and takes a while to recover). Putting my index finger on top just doesn't seem as comfortable and I definitely loose distance (300 to 325 max) and though it doesn't hurt as much this way it still is irritating that index finger joint. What do you or other players do to strengthen their fingers and make them able to sustain these types of throws. I have had to throw with more of a fan/split grip technique for power throws for months (and I have trouble touching 300 with that grip) because it hurts to stack my fingers like you showed.

I've been throwing regularly for about 11 years now, and have always struggled with my forehand. Ive tried all of the grips, and i always seem to have pain in the top of my shoulder and the inside joint of my elbow. I just feel like i can't get it right, but i dont know what im doing wrong. I'll try some of these tips this year when the snow is finally gone. Thanks for the video

What does walking into the throw do , exactly? I'm very new to disc golf and I throw this style better than any other throw

Im pretty new. Is it important that I develop a forehand throw?

I'm doing that today🎉

Nice explanation Sir. Thanks for the tips. Will try implementing them in my next field work session. How long have you been playing?

Thanks for the video. The four step forehand, finishing with the left foot pointing at the target is solid form. I see you move your right leg behind the left on the third step (like a backhand step). That seems to work fine for you but is not common. Most forehand distance throwers either shuffle the third step or pass the right foot in front of the left; similar to a baseball outfielder who catches the ball and does a four step to rip the ball on a line to home base. BTW I'm searching for a video demonstrating 250+ distance and accuracy forehanding a Lat64 Fuse.

Great video. I might add one tiny thing. Just like backhand, your body needs to act like one big whip. Drive those hips forward first, then elbow and wrist naturally following😊

That casual 366 shot is 50 feet further than my best throws haha. Btw, I think you're on to something with your little skip step before the throw. We used a similar skip in martial arts before some pretty quick/powerful kicks. The same principle is at work; you generate some momentum with the skip, don't tangle your feet together, and wind up in a solidly planted position to explode with lots of power.

Beginner and I need all the help I can get

Best tip I can give. Distance and power takes time and consistency and a want for you to build it. Paul with a chop side arm. Nate throwing flat, Brodie throwing hyzer. Back hand, Matty O, that other dude who swings his arms back and forward I forget who it is. Anyways, as there is things that are universal. Like a lag, brace, coil, timing, nose down and being explosive. Do what feels smooth, and most comfortable. I used to rip forehands max power with beefy discs that I could smash. But after injury after injury I stepped down to more neural discs, slow down throw smooth and it went just as far but with half the power. Back hand it was until I slowed down and just threw without thinking, how it felt comfortable, just messing with planting, and throwing nose down. Is when it all clicked. Everything goes too fast when you think about every body part.

As a brand newbie, it would be helpful to see a closeup of the release of the disc and what your wrists are doing! Thank you!

I can throw a standstill forehand anhyzer but with a run up. Is there a certain angle I should be hitting? Ex-baseball catcher

For me, it feels more natural and comfortable to only put my index finger on the underside of the disc instead of stacking. Do you think I'm losing power and I should add the middle finger?

I can't get my footwork down to save my life. great info here!

Love forehand tip videos ... But I am not sure that aiming your front foot at the target is correct all the time... Depending on the stability of the disc and angle of release ... Example if I am forehanding a rive opposed to something Flippy like a mamba or something more neutral like a beast .. I would more agree that the foot is your aiming line to get to the target same as the elbow on a backhand ... It is rare to throw anything straight for more than 300 ft but we use a curve to get there ... Hope this makes sense I agree the foot and opposite arm elbow should be used as aiming your line to the basket but not lining up the toe directly towards the basket

I’m a relatively new player, and I’m very forehand dominant. I’m wondering if I’m wrong to grip only with my index finger as it feels more natural as opposed to two? Could you recommend some beginner discs in each range for forehand dominant players?

I enjoyed the video. I would enjoy it more if you would show a forward angle to your shot. It helps to see it from all angles. So I can emulate your form. I'm lucky to get 200 ft. Thanks for your time.

For drivers I can't stop using just a 1 finger grip, and I can still get a max weight Start Beast close to 300 on a good skip and flight. I use two finger stacked for shots with Zones/Pigs, etc., but can't get it down with a driver.

Kind of reminds me of baseball and the crow hop

I broke my spine & have difficulties using my lower extremadies. Can you try throwing from a wheel chair then explain how you we're able to still throw far. Please Tag me in it so I can find your video. Thank you for your time. I much appreciate your videos they do help

Edward Norton’s brother? Cousin? Clone? Great video and nice channel great tips and advice.

I started this year and forehand was intuitive but not that far. Then I learned backhand got an hour technique on the forehand and now it’s crap😂. Guess I have to go back thinking at throwing a ball

Have you seen Ryan Sheldon's distance forehand video? Any thoughts?

I likes the video, but would have loved more rocka on the throw after the footplanting. The angle and follow through of the wrist during throw and arm placement. I felt it came a bit down to “and then you just throw” at the end.

i disagree on angle being based off comfort to me it should be based off wind NOW if zero wind then sure its comfort but when is there zero wind etc. in a strong tailwind def an under stable disc on hyzer is best and into a headwind a stable to over stable thrown flat to slight anny is best for consistency.. if youre goal is consistency then id advise picking discs based off wind conditions first then distance to hole and then how much skip etc etc

Damit. I been serving pizza using side of my finger. I'm 98 percent BH because I can't throw FH. Will definitely practice this tomorrow

most pros dont get there elbow very far off there hips.. Marwede is good to watch form for forehand..

I tore my left hamstring playing college basketball and at 41 now I have been playing some frisbee golf with my daughter and nephews as they have gotten older and its the only thing that hurts when I throw a darn frisbee lol I am just old I guess😂😂😂

What's your shirt all about? I'm a radio fanatic.

LOTS of good things here in less than 7 minutes. Yes, it's the pad, not the side, of your middle finger. Yes, it can be (nearly) effortless. Yes, a little hop by your lead foot (left foot for righty throw). But IMHO-LOL😅, please don't enable one of THE biggest form flaws. Starting with an over-stable (or overly fast or heavy) disc and then throwing an anhi, with a 3/4 arm release, is one of the banes of the game. Instant death in the woods and a dead end for shot shaping. Sure, some older players, especially at higher elevations, may NEED to throw that way. Fair enough. But everybody who can should start throwing neutral discs with flat deliveries, at least until they master that basic skill. Thanks for posting.
