The Best Sidearms in Disc Golf

Спорт

The sidearm in disc golf is often overlooked in our day and age so I wanted to bring more of a spotlight onto that specific shot. Top ten disc golf sidearms that are currently playing right now. Whose in your Top Ten?

    I don't have an issue leaving some of the younger guys like gossage off the list but Clemons definitely deserves to be higher up and honestly I'd drop eagle to maybe 5 or 6. Eagles sidearm distance is great but his shot shaping in the woods isn't that great. Most of his wins are open bomber courses. He doesn't have the flip up game that some of the older players have.

  • @calebluvsvids
    @calebluvsvids Жыл бұрын

    Good video! The biggest travesty is how low Chris Clemons is; based on this season alone, he should be top 5, maybe top 3 on this list with his consistent finishes and forehand dominance. I get that tour success played into this selection a lot, which you explained by not including Aaron Gossage, but he will break this top 10 eventually, and I think an honorable mention should be given to Chandler Kramer. He literally ONLY throws forehand and he finished so well at Europe, which is NOT a forehand heavy course (eagle won without one)

  • @ryaninSartell

    Always love the videos, and I think it's a solid list, but damn putting McBeth over Clemons feels criminal. Chris has a 500+ ft sidearm, plus the touch/flip up game. My only other issue is saying "Eagle has the best sidearm in disc golf right now" when he hasn't been throwing sidearms all year. I also think that if you put him and Jerm on a sidearm only competition, assuming he's at his peak, Jerm wins every time Love the list aside from that though, Jerm and Nate certainly belong up there

    This list needs a yearly update. Eagle will probably never throw side arm as far as he used to. Ohn, Tamm, Latt, Stokley, and others people comment about. Maybe have a distance, accuracy, shot shaping, and a side arm that wins events categories. For instance Cramer less know but has a dominant side arm game but you don't see him on top often so would not make the list.

    How can eagle be #1 if he’s not really in the pro scene this year? He played a few events, and has been hurt 90% of szn. And his backhand is better than top 5 guys on this list.

    With all due respect, I think the majority of the commenters would have made a better list. Like everyone has said, Kramer is the biggest omission and Clemons should be in the top 5. Gossage and Barela should be on the list.

    TRISTAN TANNER. Seriously. Idk how you could justify this omission.
