Mikey, next time you are doing a distance test....start by putting a cone out at a set distance. It not only shows how far the disc went without constantly measuring, but it also gives an aiming point.

My issue is that I cant fully back load as I have an issue with my hand that doesnt allow me to power grip. I can and will start ensuring that my little finger is at least tucked in a far as I can as I feel that I too am front loading the disc. Thanks Josh and Mikey!

See this is the sports science that disc golf needs. The most exciting thing here is that you're able to track spin-rate and nose angle. I think it was Simon and one of his friends that did a video showing the same release velocity, but Simon's throws were consistently significantly longer. That points to angle and spin having a real impact on distance vs. just exit velocity, but that stuff is REALLY hard to quantify without either high speed cameras or a sensor package like that. I do car stuff where data is king, so it's cool to see this type of thing making it into my other favorite hobby!
@Boltzi
@Boltzi 10 ай бұрын
It's also interesting that if you have short fingers in relation to your palm size, dropping little finger off the rim allows to turn wrist angle even more down. I have this exact short finger problem and have been experimenting a bit and it's pretty obvious how much more nose down the disc travels but for some reason it's hard to not throw the disc to the right.

This is so bizarre. One week ago I went to the field and randomly tried to grip HARD! and I had the exact same reaction as you! My throws suddenly went from an average of 400 to 450! And for the last week, I have been experimenting quite a bit and I can definitely throw further when just gripping HARD, and then you upload this video... However, my fingers are really feeling in a bad way, while my accuracy has definitely also decreased. But I completely agree with your idea of front-loading. If I lock my back fingers (pinky and little finger) not only does my accuracy decrease but those fingers hurt even more. Excited to see what you come up with next!!!

To be honest, I believe that "grip misalignment" is one of the biggest impacts to newer disc golfers. I battled with this for a while and only realized recently that it takes significantly more pressure on distance throws than it does for controlled golf shots being a mid-to-high speed arm, just as Mikey found out. I would love to see data correlating how the grip needs to adjust to maximize disc speed and rotation for different arm speeds. In addition, if the data you guys get over the next few weeks shows that the "gradual grip" is better than "mashed potatoes", that'll be beneficial as it would allow distance throws to be more sustainable during a round. Great job, and congrats Mikey!!!

I had the same experience switching to a pivot/fan grip during the "power grip is fake" controversy. Went from throwing 340 max to over 400ft in a week. Funnily enough, it was the exact advice I was given by Rob McLeod (aka Frisbee Rob) when I first starting playing: you need a pinch/pivot point between your thumb and index finger.

YESSS! I've been using TechDisc for a month or so now (there's a lot to that story, but I'll save that for later) and I've had similar breakthroughs. It's truly incredible what instant feedback alone is able to teach you. Mine was less to do with grip strength, but rather wrist strength. A few adjustments to my wrist angle on reach back and pull through combined with keeping my wrist looser pretty much immediately increased my spin from ~875-925 RPM to consistently 1000+ RPM (with one or two over 1100!). Can't wait to see what else this series has in store. I happen to know about a putting app that could fit in the series as well...would love to chat sometime!

It looked like the mash grip was giving him more rotations and a down nose angle. I believe all the loose throws shown on the video had less rotations and positive nose angles. Your synopsis at the end could support that as well with the front loaded mash grip helping to keep the nose down and the back loaded loose grip letting the nose tilt up on release.

I've been throwing my drivers with a 2-3 finger grip lately and, for me at least, I've noticed significantly more spin and speed. I think it falls into what you said at the end where it's basically making me front load the grip where I was likely backloading it before.

I wrote a disc physics simulator. It handles hyzer angle, nose angle, spin speed ratio, disc wear... the results are spooky realistic. The conclusion after lots of tinkering with virtual experiments was that 2-3 degrees of nose down is ideal for distance. The shots looked very much like Ricky's juiced Felon shots from the back in the day that start with a stupid amount of nose down, pop up, and then penetrate forward despite being an overstable mold. Ricky has more nose down power than anyone else I can think of. I read somewhere that people did real world research confirming this but I haven't seen it.

I remember that one day, where I had that insane release out of my hand. It felt like the disc is way more heavy than with my normal throws. It was on an hole with 123m (400 feet). That was my max distance all day. I threw it with 90% power in the disc just got launched! It was so fast and was still turning at basket hight! Bad for me, I hit a tree next to the basket. I would say, if the tree hit didn´t happen, it would be around 150m (500 feet). I never got that feeling again. And i hate that. I was looking for it with so many variations, but i never found it. This video has got some really good ideas for me and I will go out to try it by myself! Thank you guys for doing stuff like this! I love your content! Keep doing this!

This will be an interesting watch. I’ve struggled to get the nose down and I think it’s a grip thing. There was a day I was trying a bunch of things that I finally got that flight where you can only see the rim and I sent a crave 340ft when I normally get 260-280. Tried the same thing next round and I was back to nose up 275😢. Now I think I need to go back to that but experimenting with thumb pressure and which fingers are doing the most squeezing. If this is the fix I will buy one of y’all’s discs as a thank you for sure

Just tested the grip harder when disc is coming across the chest and it got me 20-60ft more. I average about 330 and threw a couple 390 but was consistently hitting 370. It also added some accuracy, I think I was too loose before. I think the distance came from more spin and the pinch helped with my timing. Maybe it's something else but I say to all it's worth a shot.

Well, dang...who knew? I'm not a great backhand thrower and rely more on my forehand. I never know where a backhand throw is going. That was....until I watched this video. I went and played league after watching the video and did some field practice before hand. Mashing the flight plate with my thumb felt weird, but I did get better flights. Then on to the real test, league play. People who knew my backhand struggles were surprised with how clean I was throwing and how much better my backhand throws were. Not a lot of distance more, but less grip lock and less not knowing where my disc would be going when it was released. I did also focus on 'front loading', but the grip pressure seemed to be the biggest help...it really changed the nose angle and kept it more consistently nose-down. Thanks for the video and insight.

I was one of those who appreciated very much the 'famous' suggestion about the hardest grip. I found that this method gave me some advantages also in precision (thinking especially to let go the disc and not to release it) (anyway, not like the majority of the players who go towards 120-150 m... because I throw around 80 metres ordinarily with 'maximum' power🙁), and excitement in that moment; I made also great throws (in precision, also, relatively to my possibilities); but then I remained at that +10 m than before the adoption of the strongest grip. Now I don't think to tighten the grip, but I somewhat I use it without thinking. Anyway the precision has diminished, or, better, remains not constant. I'm trying to understand if I lost the technical mechanics associated with the firm grip, or I'm not using anymore that grip for other subconscious mechanisms... Perhaps, for Mikey who has all that support for analyzing the thrower and the throws will be easier to understand better the whole thing, and I'm sure that you will give to us very interesting suggestion for we to make better and better 👍

I'd love to see you guys try, what I call the "Split-Grip". Not sure if anyone has named it already or even throws it. But it has helped me get more spin on my drives and in turn a bit more distance. (FYI, I do have large hands, so not sure if it will be viable for everyone) 1) You start by griping the disc rim with just the tips your index and middle finger and pull the disc into the crease where your finger meets your palm so that the disc edge and your finger crease are perpendicular. It will fill flimsy at first. 2) Then place your ring and pinky a bit further down on the rim and use those to suck the disc into your palm for a secure grip. There should be about enough space to put your index finger from your left hand between your middle finger and ring finger with no gaps. 3) Then find a comfortable angle for the disc to sit in your hand. I tend to roll the disc forward, so that the part of your disc touching your palm is in the natural crease in the center of your palm. Let me know if you decide to try this though, describing it without pictures is difficult. I'll send some pics or a video if you'd like. :)

Would love to see if there is a difference with the number of fingers used bc I swear I'm throwing farther with only 2 fingers and thumb. I'm also 6'4" so not sure if Hand size has anything to do with it. 4 fingers just feels uncomfortable.

I started focusing all my grip in my pointer finger, or the first two, or just the middle. Still trying to decide whats best for me. And im way more consistent now at getting my max distance. I tried all oose. I tried all tight... but for me it seems to be in the first two fingers. I heard my first snap today. Ad began beating my personal best by 10 ft consistently. 🤷‍♂️ im a pretty new player.

Can you test gripping the disc like grenade index finger down and thumb top of it and disc just reguöar, not upside down? Saw one guy doing this and he had very loudy snap and good distance.

Would it be possible to see the alignment of the grip? Back it the DGCR forum days talk was about the need to align the disc parallel to the index - middle finger crease and forearm to get the nose down... that grip feels so weak compared to a more diagonal orientation from index/middle crease to the mid palm crease. Whenever people demonstrate a grip that allows the nose to be down it seems to lack the consideration that the disc pivots out of the hand (I think). Nose would theoretically be more opposite of the gripped hand, call the nose 6 o'clock if the hand is at 12 o'clock. Would love your insights on this!

I've have been getting better distance in my 3rd full year with tighter grips, but its not just the grip, as much as me setting the disc either flat or slight hyzer, so the nose doesnt get up at all. When i loosen things up, it seems like i have a tendency to end up with the nose angle up. Even slightly up, as we know, is clearly bad for distance. Having that grip set and firm grip is very key for my turnover shots as well. I do think it could be a bit tough on the elbow but i think if the overall form, footwork, follow thru, etc is good, its not quite as tough. Ive put on 30-50 ft on my average throw this year

I got some grip stuff i'm working on that Im' going to look over with the high speed camera to get visual data. This looks like a neat tool though.

It's about dimensionally locking while being loose. Strong pour but loose on the pads

I wanna see the data for thumb position closer or further from inside the edge of the rim. I personally find that I get a more reliable front loaded grip when my thumb is closer to the rim, but I see so many people mashing on it way inside.

so interesting to see data specific; of course, every player will have a different set of variables that actually feeds the data. So results may vary, as the lawyers might say!

I believe it has to do with how hard you pinch your pointer finger and thumb together other fingers just hold disc in place and it doesn't matter when you pinch hard long as its at the end.

lately I have been doing fan grip for all speeds and that has improved my speed and spin drastically. front loaded grip is the #1 tip for adding distance apart from timing

I just started throwing fan grip for everything as well. I instantly gained distance beating my max and it's more effortless feeling. Still working on proper form
