The sidearm in disc golf is often overlooked in our day and age so I wanted to bring more of a spotlight onto that specific shot. Top ten disc golf sidearms that are currently playing right now. Whose in your Top Ten?

Scott Stokely deserves an honorable mention. He's a former world record distance holder, and even though he's over 50 he's still playing at a competitive level. His forehand to win OTB Skins this year was one of the best shots ever

I came to say this, glad I wasn't alone in thinking that. I get that he's new to the tour and he hasn't really been consistently in the top but his sidearm is phenomenal, an honorable mention would have been in order because if he nurtures his body he will be top 3 on the list in no time.

@justsomedood67 2 ай бұрын

@Linky609 Жыл бұрын

I don't have an issue leaving some of the younger guys like gossage off the list but Clemons definitely deserves to be higher up and honestly I'd drop eagle to maybe 5 or 6. Eagles sidearm distance is great but his shot shaping in the woods isn't that great. Most of his wins are open bomber courses. He doesn't have the flip up game that some of the older players have.

@PixlatedDonut Жыл бұрын

I have to disagree with the list, Kramer, Gossage, and Barella should be on the list. Kramer is Forehand only and plays amazing with his shot shaping. Gossage will throw a forehand zone inside 350 if he can. Barella has maybe the longest forehand on the world...

@BOOGiNS Жыл бұрын

Barellas on the list. You're just blind and deaf.

Honorable mention should be given to Scott Stokely. OG sidearm player that once held both the world's record for longest throws for backhand and forehand at the same time. He is the reason several people on this list throw sidearm they way they do (like Big Jerm)

@calebluvsvids Жыл бұрын

Good video! The biggest travesty is how low Chris Clemons is; based on this season alone, he should be top 5, maybe top 3 on this list with his consistent finishes and forehand dominance. I get that tour success played into this selection a lot, which you explained by not including Aaron Gossage, but he will break this top 10 eventually, and I think an honorable mention should be given to Chandler Kramer. He literally ONLY throws forehand and he finished so well at Europe, which is NOT a forehand heavy course (eagle won without one)

@derekbroekhoven5498 Жыл бұрын

Always love the videos, and I think it's a solid list, but damn putting McBeth over Clemons feels criminal. Chris has a 500+ ft sidearm, plus the touch/flip up game. My only other issue is saying "Eagle has the best sidearm in disc golf right now" when he hasn't been throwing sidearms all year. I also think that if you put him and Jerm on a sidearm only competition, assuming he's at his peak, Jerm wins every time Love the list aside from that though, Jerm and Nate certainly belong up there

@nickheisler2559 Жыл бұрын

Agreed. Also it was my understanding that Eagle is just about done throwing forehands. Didn't he learn to throw lefty backhands just so he wouldn't have to use is forehand?

@mariusnilsen6540 Жыл бұрын

Tristan Tanner should be on the list IMO Eagle will never have the same side arm again. Dislocations when you're young can become very chronic and he threw his shoulder out on on the power side arm plane. If he is smart he will use it for up shots and relay on that cannon of a backhand

Kramer, Scott, even Oakley has a more well rounded sidearm game than alot of the people on this list.

This list needs a yearly update. Eagle will probably never throw side arm as far as he used to. Ohn, Tamm, Latt, Stokley, and others people comment about. Maybe have a distance, accuracy, shot shaping, and a side arm that wins events categories. For instance Cramer less know but has a dominant side arm game but you don't see him on top often so would not make the list.
