If you are looking for a legitimate disc golf coach, look elsewhere. DG Spindoctor does not possess the qualifications or the integrity to earn your support. Not only does he, at times, present information that is incorrect, he actively seeks to censor and remove anyone who questions him or presents facts that disprove his statements. He lacks a clear understanding of the terminology as it relates to disc golf, which is a KEY FUNDAMENTAL when teaching someone. It would also appear that he jumps on here and argues his false points on other accounts, which shows an even further lack of integrity. He is doing everyone who takes his word literal an injustice, and he should not be supported. This comment will likely be deleted, because of course, he lacks integrity and seeks to censor those who show him to be wrong. If you are trying to do yourself a favor by seeking knowledge so that your game can grow, you’d be better served literally anywhere else.

If you're writing comments that KZread deems inappropriate, they don't show even to me unless I look for them. I found some of your comments under the banned tab because you called other commenters names. There is a reason why your comments get banned, and the reason is your hateful demeanour.

I was reaching out far on my “reach back” to make myself longer and it was causing my timing to be off. I was trying to get over my lead foot too fast before I braced and I couldn’t fix it because I was off balance. I shortened my “reach back” today and I was throwing farther with much less effort. It made it sooo much easier to brace before I threw! Thank you again for this video 💪

Excellent! Go for it!

One has to love how you keep demolishing the foundational concepts of disc golf! By 'demolishing' I mean showing how the concepts were fundamentally incorrect -- and showing how to re-think the very basics of the game. (By 'incorrect' I mean that the techniques shown were probably right but the concepts themselves were explained using incorrect language [such as reachback, which caused me to lean back], which led people like myself to misinterpret them). I am in the process of unlearning years of learning of misleading and incorrect concepts and learning how to fix my form. I find your videos perhaps the most informative -- and ground-breaking -- that are out there. Have also found a lot of help from the Overthrow videos. There are other occasional useful ones, but yours are certainly the most consistently transformative. Then there are lots of videos I wish I had never seen and followed when beginning my journey -- but then again, you were not around yet at that time.

I have been playing discgolf for 1 season in total. I usually never throw backhand becaus I have alweys felt like i was throwing into myself or through myself when im about to launch the disc from my "Reachback". After watching your video yesterday i went out to a empty fotball field today and spent about 2 hours just throwing my 5 putters. Today i threw my putters the same distance i have been throwing my FD discs.... I then went to a local field where i usually play about +4 to + 10, i only used my putters this time and got my new personal best at +1 My comments on youtube are years apart from one another. But I worked as a gymnastic teacher and the best part about teaching is when you can see the appritiation in their eyes and know that you have helped someone, You can't see it in my eyes, but atleast i can share it with you on this channel.

Right! I started in 2000, and I had a VHS tape of home videos some of our local heroes had filmed in tournaments in Finland and the U.S., Climo, Barry, Stokely. I learned to watch it in slow motion, pressing pause/play, pause/play. Blurry as hell. Didn't matter, I kinda got the right ideas I think. Then I learned all the wrong things about starting the lawn mower. Nobody talked about bracing or the follow through. Fast Forward 20 years and I started teaching, because nobody else would. At that point I had ruined my game enough to know that I will never get to the top, not even top my prime of 970-980 average. But I'm happy to help others avoid all the mistakes that made my game so bad. Thank you for commenting, and good luck!

So nice of you, glad to hear that!

Thanks for all the video, DG! The only thing I'd like to see here is a breakdown of how this would be integrated into the X-Step/a tee-off throw. What is the timing of the coil? When should it happen? As soon as your lead foot starts coming off the ground, or more as you're in the middle of coming forward with the lead foot (but not yet planting), or right before the planting of that lead foot? It would also be great to see the sequence show how the coil creates that "reach" (what is the throwing arm doing as you're coil and how is it getting to that reach point as you're coiling). Stuff like that. Just a slow breakdown of the progression and implementation in an actual throwing sequence. Thanks again for the content!

Well, I try to at least.

Pure gold as usual! That body position also makes a lot of space for the disc to whip through the pocket. Big points here are keeping your weight center and creating a coil between hips and shoulders. I think one issue some folks have with learning how to do this is that they tend to reach out too far without getting the disc back in which can lead to shoulder stretch injuries. No matter how far away from the body the disc is on the reach out (back) make sure it comes back enough so your elbow gets back into the 90 degree angle before final release.

Great video as always! The way I built a mental cue to feel this movement is to sit in a chair with both of my hands angled in about upper chest height. My hands are about 4 inches apart from each other and they are about a disc's width away from my chest. My elbows are also slightly pointed out, it looks almost like a boxing guard position, but not quite as high. I then keep my hands and elbows locked in that same position, but I coil my body to try and almost touch my left knee with my right elbow. This created the aha moment for me on how to feel the coil you are describing and when I am practicing I actually visualize sitting in the chair and coiling my right elbow down to my left knee. As soon as I get that coil I extend my throwing arm away from my body so that I can feel that coiled, pre-throw position. I know everyone has different cues and ways to feel things, but this worked incredibly well for me and it's so easy to feel the coil when you do this in a chair. Also, one thing I just noticed in this video is that if you slow down Eagle's throw it almost looks like his first kinetic movement is his left foot leaves the ground and shoots forward towards the front leg.Maybe I am unable to see some subtle hip or knee movements because of the angle, but I thought that was interesting. Especially in the context of your last video on toe tap.

I thank you, and think you're right. Late release annies are most often a symptom of standing up during the swing, or not keeping the swing plane level like a hoola-hoop. This might fix that problem.

Thanks for new and more perspectives of form!!! :-) Would be lovely to hear your coil viewpoints on what angle difference between hips and shoulders make to your control and power ("rubber effect"). Eagle is one that is extreme in it. Tiger Woods in ball golf, for example, was well known for this ability. Can you make a video on this? ;-) Thanks again for good videos!

I've been practicing the backhand in slo-mo today. I think I can do this. It feels right. I look where I'm going to throw while reaching back to just past my waist. Then I uncoil keeping the disc close to my body until my core rotation extends my arm forward to the final snap. If you looked at that uncoiling from above, as you move forward, it looks like a spiral in reverse, finishing in the tight coil snap. At least, that's the visualization that works for me.

Eagles talks about pushing out the disc straight from the chest and i did this sideways to target which creates a bad L shaped pull through but if you combine the push out with more back to your target and a coil the push out creates a straight pull through line that still gets the whip effect!

I don't believe you actually can pop the wrist to create spin. You can put the disc deeper into your palm and then grip it harder with the index so that it spins around the tip of the finger at the release. Also the deep pocket might add some spin, too. Just don't open the wrist too early or tense it, and it will work just fine.

Thanks for watching! First question: Not necessarily; it just means you get slow and sway your upper body instead of letting it rotate. Second question: no, not at all, as I said in the video. You need to find a way to throw it flat or annie. That happens, usually by tweaking the arm path and following through.

okay Eagle has the manliest huck face in the game. didn't expect that.

Do you coil against the front leg or back leg? When I do it, my front leg hasn't landed yet, so I have nothing to coil against, unless I use the back leg, and that causes timing issues. 😂

The back leg is the one on the ground, but I try not to lean on it. The coil is done over the front side.

4:11 and pause "looking at right picture" if you held your body still and pulled through with arm the release point would be like 2oclock vs 10oclock.. what i did was put my right foot more to the right so almost like im throwing slightly left of my target but in reality its not bcuz now my pull through line is actually straight bcuz ive shown more back to 10oclock vs you more like a out in and out motion! this tweak has my lines incredibly accurate at nearly any distance with any wind condition! lmk what you think about that realization hoping its not just a me thing but something that is legit for everyone..?

@dgspindoctor I'm sorry, but for it to an "anhyzer" it has to be thrown on an anhyzer angle. That's what makes it an anhyzer. If it's thrown with hyzer and flips over it's called a hyzer flip. Here's Innovas definition: Anhyzer. An angle of release where the outside edge or left edge of the disc is tilted upward for a RHBH thrower. It mentions only the angle of release bc that's the only thing that matters for it to be an anhyzer.

No worries!

People don’t understand the follow through very well. Eagles comfort zone for power is to hinge at the hips quite a bit but assuming that torso position does not mean every shot he releases is a hyzer or hyzer flip. In order to really tell what sort of shot a player is throwing tracking the arc of the follow through has a lot more to do with the shape than the torso angle at release. If you reach back low and follow through high that’s pure hyzer, if you reach back fairly level, release flat, and follow through level, that’s flat. If you reach back fairly level, release flat, and follow through slightly lower, that’s flat to turn over. I wouldn’t call what Eagle is doing to get a dd3 700 feet a hyzer flip. The throw discussed in your clip is more of a flat release to turn over bomber which is pretty much the method all the bombers use for max distance lines.

1000 rated Brian Earheart in the clip discussed. “Eagles looks to be lining up a turn over” Look at the peak of eagles reach back, clearly throwing a turn over. KZread comments, that’s a hyzer flip. 😅

@@lankstadiscs Well, I paused the video and the angle of the disc after release has a bit of an hyzerangle. But yeah, nearly flat so turn over is also fine. But its definitely not an anhyzer.

A turn over thrown on a 10° hyzer... But whatever

thanks for the video. I will give it a try on my next practice. The thing I disagree is the video of Eagle McMahon. He is throwing a hyzerflip, not an anhyzer.

Yea, people get stuck on the immediate release angle. That is why people don't learn, but I'm fine with that.

wow finland looks different that i thought it would

I suggest you go to Finland and see it, but you could also come to Taiwan where I filmed this. Both are great places!

Please freeze frame at 4:30 and move frame by frame (hit the . key to move forward 1 frame at a time). Eagle throws that on a massive hyzer and it instantly flips up because he's throwing 80mph or more. He 100% did not throw that on anhyzer....

I hear a lot of people get stuck on that. Funny, though. That's one of the biggest obstacles people face when learning. For example, you want to get the disc to fly from left to right (right-hander) and glide 700 feet in an Annie, but you won't want to learn that because it's not a legit Anhyzer release. Am I right? Thanks for the comment!

@@dgspindoctor Those are 2 different things though. A hyzer flip to turnover is a useful shot in disc golf. Max distance for sure, and I utilize it when I can. But I would never say that Eagle THROWS an anhyzer in this shot. Throwing actual anhyzer from second of release caused by swing plane is a different skill. Playing in the woods, you often need instant anyzer, either because the line requires it, or because you dont have the distance to the pin to have time to do a full flipover shot. I bring this up because you're saying Eagle's swing plane creates an anhyzer release when it doesn't. Does the disc eventually get to anhyzer? Yes, but anhyzer release and disc making it to anhyzer are not equal. Maybe this is just semantics and I'm misunderstanding what you said.

@@SwordOfAndarielyou are confusing the appearance of the disc for a brief moment in the air with the actual shot Eagle is trying to throw. A hyzer flip has one definition, you throw a flippy ass disc on pure hyzer, reaching back low, following through high, and rely on the under stability of the disc and your speed to do all the work to turn the disc over to anhyzer, not relying at all on the arc of your disc or follow through to achieve the desired flight path. It generally is not a maximum distance line, because the sort of flippy discs like shrykes, captains, thrashers, wraiths, or other “flippier molds” people rely on to achieve these flight paths aren’t capable of withstanding the sort of speed MPO players are putting on the disc and the results are generally unreliable with high speed discs especially. Eagle reaches back fairly flat, releases the disc fairly flat, and follows through below the level of his release, this is the stock maximum distance line you see out of a lot of MPO pros at distance competitions. The only reason the shot appears for a moment to be a “hyzer” is because Eagle’s most natural “power position” is slightly hinged over at the waist, so a lot of his shots appear to come out of his hand on hyzer when he isn’t throwing rollers. The reality, Eagle was forcing over a nearly brand new c-line dd3 100 feet in the air, a disc that isn’t known for turning very much if at all, if he’d followed through low to high and actually “thrown with pure hyzer intent” he would have wound up OB left regardless of whether the disc was going 80 mph. The arc of his shot, the follow through lower than his release, the reality that he was trying to throw the disc to sail 700 feet in anhyzer, makes it a flat to anhyzer shot, and nothing even close to a hyzer flip. It really is all just semantics, but those can be important if you want to learn to shape a bunch of different shots. Just look at what Eagle is doing leading up to his throw, he’s imagining how to force it over, he does it twice right before he runs up. Listen to Brian Earhearts commentary, “looks like he’s lining up a turn over.”

@@SwordOfAndariel I agree, and especially with the last sentence. If you watch my video, I talk about shot shaping, not release the angle.

This is worded exactly the way I would, only if I could. Thank you. This is the way.
