He didn't elaborate too much. This is only the second time I can recall hearing this talked about. I can't wait to give this a try. Thank you.

    I want to leave some feedback now that I have worked on the technique a few times. Wow! This was the true game changer! I threw a decent backhand before (and in terms of distance I don’t know how much I have added because I have mainly tried it with putters and midranges). But when it comes to a clean release and a consistent aim the difference is like night and day! All my discs were super straight and landed in a very concentraded area. As I said, this will be a game changer for my backhand, and I can’t thank you enough for this video!

    Wow, this is a game changer. I have 420ft of distance but have hit a barrier in my development and can’t seem to improve. I should be able to throw 500ft+ (I’m young and 6’2”), this might be what changes things for me. I definitely way over rotate and am not getting my left hip back (I’m lefty). Thank you so much for this video!

    Life changing video! I've recently started playing again after about a 4 year break. Overall I've been playing since the '90s with multiple extended breaks. At my best I was maybe 320' consistent with a few throws reaching around 350' or so. Since I started again I've been consistent at 270' and have only hit 300' a couple times, likely mostly thanks to wind. Regardless of how far I throw I have always struggled with heel turn and follow through and planting my foot. I'd always pivot on the ball of my foot and have zero follow through and never really stop but my momentum would carry me forward off the pad. Even when I'd try to force those things they wouldn't really work. Then KZread recommends me this video shortly after you uploaded it. Almost skipped it as I figured I don't need yet another video that isn't going to do me any good but have been trying to do more with my hips lately and had some time to kill so figured why not. Seemed interesting and definitely not advice I had ever heard but wasn't somewhere I could throw and it was night anyway so committed it to memory for the next day. Went out and played yesterday and my very first throw - wow! Heel turn! Follow through! My leg planted! It just FELT so right. No need to see video of myself, I could immediately tell it was much closer to the classic form you see from pros and other elite players than I've ever been. And while it was the same distance as I've been throwing it felt so much more effortless, like I was throwing an 80' approach. Played again today and it already feels pretty natural. I've been playing wooded courses and haven't had time for field work but I can't wait. It feels like I finally have the solid base I need to be able to build to a proper throw. One issue I've had with the new throw is I keep getting stuff way too high. See you just released another video about proper arm usage and nose angle, which seems like exactly what I need. Off to watch that now! Thank you!

    @@davehart9972 yes? I've been playing since years before KZread existed. There were maybe places on the internet to discuss form at the time but I didn't know of any. My form was developed by just doing something that felt vaguely correct and watching other people, who had developed their forms the same way. As a result I've never had great form. For 25+ years I've had something that kind of works OK on short courses but doesn't hold up as holes get longer and more challenging, leaving me frustrated. For years I've been trying to make changes to improve and have had marginal gains here and there but nothing that really felt like something I could truly build off of. Until this video. Suddenly it feels right. Suddenly it feels like I'm doing it the way I see great players doing it. No change has ever felt this good and given me the feeling that I can really build from it. And considering how much disc golf I play - usually at least 18 daily, often 36 - it has changed my life and renewed my passion for the game.

    I've watched a ton of form youtubers, and you are one of the first to correctly talk about how the hips work. I have been using my hips like this for my standstills for a while, and have gotten them to 400ft+. Do you have any tips for transitioning from standstill to x-step? When I try this with the x-step I feel like I either don't brace enough and fall over, or I brace well, but my right hip jams up and doesn't fully clear behind

You obviously have the hips down If you can standstill 400+ so it's Just about getting used to your Body moving into that Position with some speed. Slow to fast, you got it!

    Good job with the video and your form looks great! I think of the right leg as stopping the forward momentum of the right hip, forcing all the energy into the left hip, rather than the right hip moving back. Another thing worth mentioning is the fast hip coil just before the the right foot steps down, which increases the pop/speed/rotation. I think it should be included here.

    Trying to implement this for the past 3 months I've just now realized that it's way easier when my front hip is out in front of me. So when I'm doing my x-step/reaching back I almost stick out my front hip. Then when I throw it's way easier to get my front hip back. I was watching your throw and I noticed how you did this (4:30), and its helped me a lot. Thoughts?

    Leon, would you say that keeping the hips level is important? As in relation to the ground? In order that as the brace extends out to the plant one has to sink down on the back leg yeah or else we end up falling onto it? If I stay to upright with the back leg, for the plant leg to “find “ the ground I would have to tip over onto it, it would seem. Thanks to this great analysis, I think I know how the brace works and feels, I just want to be able to get to it in motion, right now it’s more only in the standstill. Thank you for breaking this down!

    Great video and explanation. My problem is that when I start to focus on just turning my hips, I tend to round and shank the throw. At what point do you start to pull with the arm? I feel like I turn the hips and my arm lags behind and then the disc flys out to the left. ( I am a lefty) disc would fly out to the right for right hand.
