As someone who is an only-backhand player, and has been wanting to learn a correct sidearm, this has been a MAJOR help! Thanks Scott

Genuinely the most helpful disc golf tutorial I've seen on KZfaq, and I basically learned how to play from KZfaq.

This video still resonates three years later. You’re the man Scott!

I've played for 2 years (only during summer because I'm from Finland), I can't throw a side arm at all and if I try to put power to it, I'll hurt my shoulder. The first tip really clicked with me, I've clearly thrown my sidearms facing sideways like throwing a backhand shot. You're my favourite disc golfer on KZfaq, you seem like such a nice guy!

For someone struggling with a sidearm, you just changed my whole outlook on the throw. Instead of dreading going to practice sidearms, I'm looking forward to getting out and trying your tips

Dude NEVER threw the disc, gave a ton of information. #legendary

As someone who can't throw sidearm for anything but approaches, I NEEDED #2 so bad.

2 years later and this is still one of the best forehand videos, thank you for this!!

Body angle! Thank you! I always found it frustrating to come from a baseball background and have such a weak sidearm... I just needed to see someone explain it like you did for tip #2.

Sweet! The baseball analogy makes sense. Can't wait to try it tomorrow.

"Dont keep your elbow close to your body" THANK YOU for clearing that up.

It's extremely impressive that you do these in one take. A testament to what a great teacher you are Scott!

Best sidearm instructional on KZfaq. Thank you.

I have been playing disc golf for twenty years and never knew some of these things. Sidearm has always been a weakness in my game. Thanks, Scott.

I have been throwing a sidearm for decades and these tips are getting me excited to improve!

This is the best forehand video on KZfaq

People are recommending this video everywhere. This is a gem, thanks.

Dude, you are the authority on disc golf lessons. Nobody explains things as clearly as you. \m/

GREAT Instruction from a GREAT Instructor!! Thank you Scott

Stokely is the most genuine guy in disc golf. I've always loved watching him play and his advice is spot on. I took every bit of his sidearm advice and applied it to my forehand. Now, it's so much better. Thanks Stokes!!!

Thank you for the great content and thank you for keeping the commercials minimal. It makes watching your videos more playable

Well done Scott. Thank you for the video!

Love this video!! Can’t wait to get on the course tomorrow to try it out!!

It was interesting to watch this and Eagle's forehand breakdown. Very different "run-up" and arm position/angle. Shows that you can do things in many ways with a great result. Eagle has so flexible joints that his style doesn't suit everyone. I think this is more "universal" and tips that works for everyone. Scott is a legend and one of the all time best forehand throwers and knows this stuff. Just interesting to see that other approaches and forms as well with impressive results. Scott's advises suits my body better.

Awesome! So well explained and so very helpful! Thank you Scott!

Thanks Scott. Great tips!

This all makes sense. I like the way you break things down.

Outstanding video 👊

These tips are awesome!

I have friends who told me how well you play, but I'd never had the good fortune of meeting you myself. The stories of your distance are legendary. Now I begin to see why. Thank you for help.

This is the best breakdown i've seen! can't wait to try this to improve my sidearm, thank you.

Been playing for 20 years. Been throwing sidearm fo 14 of them. After watching this video I now know why I top out at 320ft and hurt after every 18. Can't wait to hit an open field and break some bad habits! Thanks.

Great Video, cant wait to try this today

You are such a great teacher. Thanks for the video and tips!

Man! I needed this! Thank you for the great lesson.

this was SO helpful! It completes the big long vid you did a few years ago about the sidearm. the part about the arm angle and body position were the part I feel was missing from the older video. thank you!

You’re awesome Scott!!! Thanks for the great sidearm tutorial!!!!!!🥏🥏🥏

Really great lesson! Thanks!

This is the video I was looking for! Thanks Scott!

Great tutorial thank you Tear it up this year

Excellent Scott thanks

For me, a perfect explanation! Once again. Thank you.

Best video yet, Scott. I learn something every time I listen. Thanks a lot.

great video, the leaning part helped me tons, thanks!

Great advise. Thank you.

Best forehand video I've seen yet!

Great teacher. Years of wisdom have helped him package and articulate this information in a way we can absorb. Thank you for sharing Scott!!

Dude you’re flat out amazing! Thanks Dr. Stokely! The ol forehand is getting better day by day. Almost done quarantining my sidearms on the course!

Great tips! Saw Ulibarri do a video to develop the wrist snap by throwing the disc 20 ft. and getting it to spin on the ground.

This is incredibly helpful and so well-explained. i can see why your lessons are in such high demand!

Thank you, Scott. This is the best forehand instructional video I’ve seen yet. Can’t wait to get out and do some field work this afternoon.

Really like the way you broke everything down in to each piece. I wish I could take one of your classes. Thanks for the info

new to disc golf and have been struggling with my forehand shot. Cant wait to try these tips out, I think this will fix a lot of my issues. Great video!

Thank you! Really helps with my game!

It's funny when I first started playing. Sidearm was the easiest one to learn. But I love your videos. Thanks for making them. They are very helpful

Thanks again, Scott!

Thanks Scott !

Thank you for the tips!

Wonderful logical explanation!

This is exactly what I needed to hear. Scott, you are awesome. I've got a nice forehand upshot, but my distance is rough. I can't wait to try this out!

Very helpful.Thank you.

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the tips for side arm throwing the disc. Can’t wait to get outside to practice. Thanks Scott

Amazing video!

The best explanation I have recieved yet. Appreciate the knowledge, Scott

So helpfull🤘🏻 . Appreciate the straight foreward info man!

Insanely helpful tips right here

My lesson with you solved sidearm related injury woes I had for years. This info is critical to throwing forehand cleanly without hurting yourself. Your the best Scott!

Scott... I can't wait to to take this to the field!!!!

That was great! Thank you so much. I’m an old ultimate and DG player. I’ve had the wrong mechanics for years, and all my ultimate turned DG friends. Your instructions are so radical for me. I love it. Oh, and I fell for Trex throw advice for awhile, too. Thank you clarifying so much. Blessings.

Really GREAT video Scott! This should help thousands of players throw longer forehands.

Practiced these tips, and some others of yours in the field today for about an hour. I saw improvement in my consistency, control, and distance. I then went and played a forehand only round and did well. Great explanations, and video!!!

Thank you so much Scott and your awesome videographer. I learned quite a bit from this. I will definitely be putting some of this to work ASAP. I'm about to watch tis a 2nd time to reinforce the info. I started playing in Knoxville in 2002. I've heard stories about how far you threw at a clinic at the Admiral Farragut course

I have such a hard time backhanding and have a relatively good forehand, this is such good information. I am stoked to put this into practice, hopefully get some extra power now!

I really like how you explain this. I have only done for the most part back in and have never trusted forehand, I think because of a fear of injury and the inconsistent wrist snap releases I have had when I tried it. Your explanation using baseball made a lot of sense to me. Can't wait to get out and try to put into practice what you have taught. Thank you so much.

This was AWESOME! I was having so much trouble with my forehand but after trying these tips in my backyard, I saw a huge improvement

Started disc golf 10 months ago throwing forehand and learned a lot from this video. Holy cow

Just started throwing discs and been out about 5 times now. Was a sidearm pitcher in HS so using forearm is easier for me. Right now I'm getting it around 325 at 45 years old. Look out youngins! This tutorial is great and glad I've been applying these techs so there isn't much of a change.

That’s the first I’ve heard about tip 2 and I’ve been sidearming for about 10 years. Can’t wait to try this!

Super helpful. Thanks!

Thank you for this. I actually just tweaked my back last week throwing forehands wrong. I'm going to work on your form suggestions.

No one describes the game like you. I cannot wait for another video and I will be buying that book soon.

Wow this was amazing. I struggle with my forehand and I’m very certain its because I’m sideways instead of more out in front. Amazing content and teaching.

Wow..watched this and for the first time in 8 years throwing a sidearm now makes sense to me. This was awesome. Now to go practice.

Recently saw a video with the tucked in elbow tip, for me it helped me with accuracy on upshots, but on distance shots i was struggling. Looking forward to testing these steps.

Throw a ball and load the wrist were huge tips for me to feel good throwing forehand today. Effortless and smooth and i was throwing accurate with decent distance. Thank you Scott Stokley for teaching solid fundamentals

This video may have just changed my life, incredible advice and demonstration!

Great video, thanks

Wow this was a fantastic explanation

The best disc golf teacher on the planet.

Dude, I am throwing sidearm all day tomorrow trying these out. Thanks!!!

Great much needed info. This looks like it was filmed at Caliber. Arguably the best course in the Northwest. I have a tee time there this Saturday, can't wait!

thanks scott! It's refreshing to hear that about tucking the elbow. Many talented FH players have told me that I don't get my elbow in tight enough when the disc passes the body. I've never felt comfortable throwing like that. I've worked hard on my forehand and feel good about what it can do. thanks again!

Thank you so much Scott! This video also helped so much even with my backhand, the spring example 3:37 was perfect! Thank you so much.

I have been slowly learning this technique on my own and seeing decent results. Not realizing I'm heading in the right direction. Watching this lesson only reinforced what I've been doing and yes all these tips work. Thank you.

Master teacher. First clear instruction on the forehand. THANKS!

Q: What did the Zen master say to the hotdog vendor? A: Make me One with Everything! thank you Zen Master Scott for this superb video! you blew my mind; can't wait to try it out tomorrow

Holy shit dude. You just blew my mind. The baseball analogy is perfect, that just changed my life. I can’t wait to go out and try this tomorrow. Sincerely a forehand only player playing for 3 years that can only throw 250’ I have the most fun though

Thank you so so much for saying something about tucking the elbow on the forehand. I played with an experienced local open player. He threw a lot of sidearm and I was awestruck by how far from his body his arm was. He was built similar to me so I thought maybe it was just something that clicked because I saw someone my height and build do it. My forehand still has a lot of work, but getting that "elbow tucked" message out of my head was crucial to making the improvement I have managed to make.

I'm a good forehand player and i was "rolling" some of my drives. But now i know why. I get lazy and stand up too straight. Lean 30 degrees to throw it flat! Thanks Scott!

thank you Scott
