Great to hear!

Fascinating explanation. Hope you do some tutorials on Putting. Thank you for your articulate perspectives!

I wasn't sure where you were going with all of this in part 1 and 2, but part 3 helps bring the bigger picture into focus. As soon as the snow melts I'm gonna start implementing all of it.

Played this afternoon with a bunch of locals. Incorporating onsie twosie items from your previous videos helped immensely and I'm super excited to get the swing path down and start working more with the hips! Keep these videos comming!

Best explanation I've heard on lower body stack up. Thank you for this!

Can’t wait for the next one!

Great instruction

I haven't been able to try this yet. But I am really enjoying your videos. From my lifting background, this makes sense to my lizard brain.

Another great video. I appreciate so much that this isn’t a form video and if you drive the back leg or get your reach back lower or whatever. It seems more of getting your body conditioned to positions and movements then get it working as a kinetic chain (over simplified version). :)

I don't know if it's us fitness guys but I teach top down as well. A lot of your teaching are aligned with how I approach/teach it. My hypothesis is the strong mind muscle connection to each muscle fiber. Keep up the videos.

Never seen a strength coach just let someone rack the bar on their neck and work on leg mechanics in the squat. 😂

For whatever reason, your coaching in Part 1 inspired me to try standstills. After 9 throws, my lead/plant knee and elbow started hurting...which was weird after 10 years of rhbh disc golf of those not hurting. I rested for a few days, then went back out and was able to throw 36 times without the knee hurting (focused more on weight through the heel), but the elbow hurts again. Doctor of the family immediately recognized it as "tennis elbow". I'm attributing the sudden pains to the sudden dedication to standstills, but I really wanted to make some changes to gain some distance. Only pain and no gains so far, but hopefully I can come out on the otherside as a success story.

Take it easy brother. Different forces than your body normally sees take time to get used to, especially if you're older. The arm snapping open in particular is one that you should build up to if you don't have a background in athletics. Be sure you're following through with the arm so the elbow isn't getting abruptly jerked on. If it's causing that much bother it might just not be for you and that's totally ok.

I'm in my lower 30s. I played baseball for 10 of my younger years (8-18) so I am accustomed to the RHFH athletics, but the BH disc golf swing wasn't developed from past sports so it has been more foreign. The BH has served me well enough to rate me over 950 (maybe a little luck too)...but distance has never been a strength. Gotta thank you for the inspiration even though our bodies are definitely different, haha.

You need to back off on the power for a bit and throw smooth. Generally the problem comes when you lock your elbow in full extension with poor follow through. Try emphasizing the follow through rather than the hit. It is hard to explain, keep your arm and shoulder tight to the power pocket but from the power pocket you need to rotate your torso then the shoulder to take stress off the fully extended elbow.

I'll keep that in mind. Good point. Different shoes next time!

Friends don’t let friends skip leg day

Where do i sign up? Been trying to improve for long time with no progress lol

Lot of good stuff here, agree with most of it. The part I disagree with is 16:48 - 18:00. You don't want to keep the back leg straight, it needs to bend to bring it in. Wiggins rear leg is bent and then only extends after release because he braced so hard it straightened his leg on the recoil. We also don't want to spin the back leg inward, which is actually inversion(not eversion like you said) or hip IR. If you actually invert/rear hip IR independent from the pelvis it will pull the pelvis backward and rudder the rear leg. The rear leg will follow the pelvis and appear to rotate inward. It's actually front hip IR that is happening as the pelvis moves into the front femur. The rotational force producing moment from the rear leg is eversion and hip ER which pushes/rotates the pelvis away from the leg toward the front leg, although this mostly happens secondarily from trying to make a lateral hip abduction move rather than a rotational move. Look up Dr. Yeager vid called "Femur" on youtube.

I haven’t but I will tomorrow. I have a vid going up very soon of my latest max effort day where I hit 74 and break 550 standstill and it took rocking and a figure 8 motion to get it consistent so I have a feeling we are on the same page accidentally.

Amazing video! The way you explained and showed how to feel the hip move at 6:36 really made sense to me. I think for the first time ever, I’m feeling what it means to throw with the legs. I can really feel it in my glutes, quads and hamstrings by just doing some no-disc drills at home inside. 🥹 Can’t wait to try this outside! Thank you!

The "stacked power" analogy really makes sense now. Thanks again! I’m also a huge fan of Kristian Kuoksa.

love the idea of adding power, first learn the upperbody and then add power 👍 always wounder if i should start at top to bottom or bottom to top whats the best. i started to just throw with the shoulder turn, and it looks so much better 😍

Jag insåg ganska snabbt att jag skulle bygga formen små delar i taget och sen sammanfogas de naturligt efterhand. Att t ex bara kasta puttrar från bröstet och ut för att lära sig maximal kraft i slutet på svingen och få perfekt release varje gång. Jag tänkte göra lite videor när vårvärmen kommer, men du är välkommen att diskutera svingen på den enda video jag har lagt upp på mitt konto...hehe. Kanske vi kan hjälpa varann med lite tips. Jag är långt ifrån färdig med mitt formarbete. Ha det gött! Lycka till.

Thanks for the videos dude, tried some of your suggestions and saw some improvements. For future videos would you consider getting a lapel mic or something? I'm kinda hard of hearing and sometimes the auto generated CC sucks

I am new to the game too. I am a beginner but I went all in on the standstill. I have a little bit of the golf swing with me so I am not all sold on the run up...hehe... I will give my 2 cents and you can do with it what you want. I uploaded my standstill on my account, which I would call the "drunken style", because I am rediculously relaxed. But it does give me 400 feet with my 7 speeds. I don't know the mph. You are talking about the back leg here. I may have some insight and we could share insights hopefully. I gave myself 40 feet of extra distance solely by accelerating my back leg toes to the ground. That was my cue. I have many cues obviously, but for this video of yours. But back to the golf. I used that knowledge and translated it to the discthrow. And as always it is about finding your cues. This specific cue you need to wait for. In a ball golfswing you wait for the plant, then you wait until the back foot starts to roll. The natural movement is for the back leg to twist. So that the toe starts pointing to the ground. Wait for that moment and then accelerate it. My cue is to accelerate inner hip rotation the moment my back foot starts to roll off the ground. There is always a natural movement. It is about accelerating that movement at the right time. That is how I view it at least. The standstill on my channel I uploaded just for this post is of an almost 42 year old man from Sweden who is a beginner. Maybe we can share some insights to the throw. Would probably be more my benefit though...hehe. Good luck.

Clearing my front hip more explosively. Explode in the core. Coil harder. If you see something any tip would be appreciated.

okej thx, also i watch your throw in slowmo, the deep pocket you trying to get is way short of its prefered position, is this just a tought, what i see is your underarm start rotate or openup right after the 90 degree pocket, i think that is the best position to get the leverage correct, just lika a trebuchet, at the power pocket you should have the arm and body in a u form just before the underarm start the sling or it slows down the arm, what is your tought

Can you build a progression for people to follow who want to learn to throw properly, with all the components working properly? I know you're sort of building it here in this video, but I think if you were to spell it out as a multi-step process and have people work on something until they get it, then move to the next one - that might help them put it all together. A lot of people like me just aren't putting it together. My swing - in and of itself - has basically crippled my development. It's a transmission stuck in second gear, and it's preventing me from going forward. And I can see from all the people I've watched on the course the last 5+ years - I'm by no means alone here. One example progression would be the elements of the swing, moving down the body, to leg work. Another would be the reverse - working on leg work to build up to the swing. I prefer the former, but I know people who prefer the latter. I know you're talking about programming, but that can be done in any order. Not necessarily in a series from one end to the other. Thank you!

Hmm it's definitely an idea for the future. I don't want EVERY video to be super long form on this channel. I'll try to think some kind of progression up. Honestly I can give more time/money to the channel if it starts doing well quickly enough, so any support is appreciated!
