Over-Rotating is Killing Your Distance and Accuracy

Спорт

Over-rotation creates rounding in your form. You’ll deal with a lot of inconsistencies in your backhand throw if you don’t correct it. Over-rotation is when we forcibly extend our arm out from us and turn our back towards the basket or target with our core.
Yes, rotation is a natural part of the disc golf backhand throw. But, if you can do it properly, you’ll generate more power and a consistent throw.
Start by walking away from the disc. We don’t want to actively push the disc away. Then, we want to push our non-throwing shoulder backwards. This movement simulates the rotation without using the core as the main source of rotation. With just these two adjustments, you’ll get your backhand form in tip top shape.

    Another thing I've found to be super helpful is walking up on the line you are going to throw. I used to always go from the back right to the front left corner but once I got used to staying on my line the entire runup it helped a lot with my accuracy!

    You can't over rotate if you setup correctly. If you setup correctly everything has a limit. For instance, how far your hips are allowed to rotate is controlled by the position of your feet. The more the feet are turned in, the more hip turn is limited. The more your spine is leaned away from the target, the less your torso can rotate. Todd explains it better starting at 4:55 kzread.info/dash/bejne/Y6aCxq2Ce7TSkZM.htmlsi=k06o-hlxaJurHE2s

    You’re completely right about the feet helping! I was talking about setting up with your upper body.

    ​@@GladiatorDiscGolfright but nothing like walking away from the disc or focusing on your rear shoulder is going to prevent over rotation. Just like the position of the feet limit the hips, the position of the spine limits torso rotation. That's it that's all. You absolutely want to be trying to rotate as much as you can, and these limits, prevent you from over rotating, not pro pull or drilling in the range of motion with repetition.

    I'm a big fan of the single plane swing concept. The interesting thing about these golf swings, is there is a) rounding, b) both feet are parallel, and c) both feet stay on the ground, because these are standstill movements. Where as in disc golf we want to avoid rounding and stagger the stance on standstill throws, and with a walk-up. If you look at how Todd is holding the golf club at "the wall" (roughly where we call the "hit") you see he's holding the arm in a rounded position, and throughout the swing the rounding is constant. I'm not sure how golfers avoid impingement with their upper arm so closed. I don't disagree with what he's saying, as far as simplifying the swing, limiting range of motion with the body to help with that, while allowing the arm a full range of motion for the swing. I've noticed similar in baseball swings, with the rounding, straddled leg placement, when swinging a bat. But no doubt some things from that sport translate to disc golf.

    @@GladiatorDiscGolf I like the idea of keeping the mic just out of frame. You might check it to make sure it's not in omnidirectional mode, and more in a directional mode like cardioid for 1 person, or bidirectional for 2 (sitting on either side of the mic). I use a Yeti Blue and it's set to cardioid, and I make sure the mic is pointing directly at my mouth. That's how I've eliminated background noise - and I don't even use any noise-dampening material!
