People should know this man speaking is Dave Dunnipace, he was a distance champion and revolutionized disc golf by inventing the bevel edged disc and founding Innova.

Id advice using this grip for short drives/ approaches. Other than that, for max distance or longer drives you still need to use all your fingers (with good technique).

Dave you're the man!!!! Keep preaching the good word brother!

I saw Dave do this a couple years ago. Changed my overall scramble game forever.

I tried this trick the last time I went golfing and I instantly threw two absolutely perfect shots after struggling with stalling out all the time. I came back to find this video to tell you it’s a near perfect way to hold your disc for a distance shot

I played with Dave in the '70s, throwing mostly Fan grip. He changed my game by teaching a FIST grip (power grip) and the Bonepane. Wham-O days.

Just tried it in my net. Can't wait to go try this out in the field Edit: it works

So Im sure this is just a bandaid, short term fix and inhibiting long term growth, but it did add like 30-40 feet on my average drive for fieldwork today 😭

If a grip works then it works. It definitely helps keep the nose down and if you get the snap then I fully believe with practice of other form changes you can achieve the big distance. It really rips off fast for me and actually hurts so that's a good sign of a good throw.

It could be short-term for people. But also a lot of people have poor wrist mobility and this solves a problem permanently.

​@@Gh0stz9211You can't just say if it works it works from a continual improvement frame. How you're going to throw in three, nine, fifteen months is more important than how you throw tomorrow from that frame. It's like ppl who say, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." This attitude is anathema to world changers, or anyone who wanted to improve anything, ever. Most of the time, ppl don't even know something is broken until it's fixed.

​@Gh0stz9211 Awesome! I'm excited to try it, then. Thanks for the feedback. If it helps get from A -> B -> C, then it's worth it. It's a pretty mind-blowing recommendation.

Absolutely amazing experience to play with "Stork" at Oak Grove and see how he rocks the Bonapane!

This is especially useful for people with low mobility in their wrists. What a cool hack.

Woah! Gonna have to check that out ..

Great tip.

works like a charm......

I've actually been using this grip for over a year now. I thought I was being original :/. I came up with it because my index finger was too short to get a solid pinch on distance drivers, so it was just slowing down rotation. People are always baffled when they see me throw. It has been great for me, and I wouldn't call it a band-aid because it's here to stay. I never have to think about nose angle or grip pressure. Sounds great, huh. For reference, I am capable of 450+ on a golf line, so it's not just a quick fix for newer players or slower arm speeds. Try it!!

I and my son just stumbled into this grip a few days ago. I accidentally held the disc wrong while playing fetch with our dog. It added another 20 feet to my throw, with less effort than other grips, and it flew the proper path for the disc design. Always cool to discover something really transformative.

I just take my pinky out of the power grip. I see the same effect. Lower nose angle. I tried to add my pinky back in and griplocked harder than I ever have before

I have used this for years. I may try it again to compare results.

It definitely works but I prefer to shift my overall weight forward slightly, more towards my front leg. Tilts the disc down that way.

This is me. Just getting back into the game and I'm getting a lot of nose up stuff.

im keeping this grip alive

Interesting. Definitely something to try if one can’t stop throwing nose up. The question is: Who was Bonapane?

@nordicdiscgolferatrumble9430

Im wondering too 😅

I had thought about this before when i had trouble "pouring the coffee" to keep the nose down. I did eventually get the nose down better but it took a while.

I cant wait for spring so I can try this. If I'm still nose up then I know the issue is form related and not grip related.

Im having a hard time all right, with grip in general. However, i think i learned something from this clip that can help some

I prefer using my first three fingers and put my pinky on the top of the disc it achieves the same drop effect yet your not sacrificing power by thsy index finger

Ohh I was testing this grip out one day when I had hurt my index finger, but wanted to try to to throw still, interesting to know this is a legit grip, I thought I was doing something illegal. But I guess it's fine.

So basicly my grenade grip but with the disc rightside up

Grip lock often is turning your head and timing shouldn’t be an issue if you have good form. The grip shouldn’t matter as long as the disc is coming out of your hand from a line rather than releasing it.

Where did that word come from.
