    Just a combination of what disc you select and what your metrics are. You're likely defaulted on a disc that's too fast for your arm speed. This is simulated with a 13 speed.

    I want to emphasize on that visualization part. I think that is SO underrated. Yes, first you have to know the technique, but the better you become, the more things like visualization start to matter. I see this most in my putting. If I dont visualize, I'm mediocre at putting but when I take the time and put in the effort to visualize the putt, my percentage goes through the roof. I mean it's ridiculous how much higher the percentage is with visualization. So first visualize the throw, then FEEL as you throw how it feels to make that visualization happen. It's a bit hard to explain that feeling part, but you can't concentrate on the mechanics as you throw, it's just too fast, but you can FEEL it happening. That's the key to your nervous system.

    Hey @BlitzDG... I thought I would go for 500 on the standstill, but I don't know much about different discs except what people say in videos and I need to invest in some drivers. I bomb my stable 7 speeds on laser lines 420 on a good rip. My radar seems broken after I hit it a few many times, but I think I'm at 70 mph at this point. But what discs would you throw at 70mph or close to it on a slight hyzer to flat on a low launch angle for maximum distance? I'm asking since you've played around with your tech disc so much and have a pretty good overview of what numbers give maximum result. I bought a cheap Lat64 Ballista just to see, but I burn them to rollers or I throw them high and they just turn and fly to the right. I don't want to buy a bunch of discs that are useless to me. I have two really overstable drivers that I can make stand flat on my best x-step. But barely. It almost feels like they start to fade before they leave the hand...hehe. Anyway... On the standstill I'm most comfortable on the slight hyzer to flat release, probably because I started with overstable 7 speeds for practice. So your best suggestion for that type of throw would be really appreciated. Thanks👍😎

    I was thinking about how you (Blitz) use Tech Disc a lot, and over the year or so you've been using it, you've been able to dial in a lot of metrics because of it. Whereas Nick hasn't used a Tech Disc, and mostly throws out in a field. 1) Nick might want to visualize lines he would throw, through the net, and just throw. He might be unintentionally correcting what he's doing because he's looking at the net. Also there's a different learning and adjustment pattern between real world flight lines and tuning metrics without the visuals of seeing the disc in flight. 2) I think there's a lot of carryover from making corrections based on Tech Disc, out into a field, or on a course, even though it's probably best to fine tune out there. But I think the TD provides a surprisingly good base. (at least surprising to me) 3) Likewise there's probably a lot of carryover from throwing in real life, to using the TD. Nick's obviously crushing it with these throws, but he probably has only modest levels of tweaking to do in order to get better numbers out of it. And it would be interesting to see how that translates in the real world. 4) I don't know if there's video of the Kayak Point distance competition but I suspect the sheer amount of time Nick spent out on a field, as well as tuning his throws over time, were key to his success there. 5) Blitz had better standstill performance and Nick better walk-up performance. Nick's best performances were with the 360. I think it shows Blitz has more potential if he nails down the walk-up and 360, but I think having such a solid standstill base has merits. It may be so good that he may not be able to eek out much more in distance, but it may also show that standstill is underrated for distance. Nick is relatively light and lithe so may have more distance potential from movement than Blitz, who is more built and stocky. Just stuff to think about. I loved the video! 😁

    @NickKrush.DGandFit if you do another sesh and want to try some nose down cues that worked for me with the tech disc, it would be interesting to see if you get similar results! Any time I get nose up when turning the key, I use the cue: keep the pronation longer into the pull through so that turning the key happens more on the way out of the pocket instead of on the way into the pocket. When I see something like +5 nose up and then I do that, I often get -4, -6, or -8 right after, but that's because I've had nose up with turning the key too early many times before. The timing keeps slipping and getting too early and I have to keep doing this. My best guess for what's happening there for me is when I hit the end of turning the key too earl there's some rebound back in the other direction just before the hit because it's hard to dynamically finish supinating then just pause and hold it there without anything else happening. The other cue that had the biggest nose down results for me was an exaggerated inverted swoop: exaggerated low reach back with an initial pull through along that reach back angle but then curve the pull through to level it out more at the end.

  • @BlitzDG

    I think all of this is compensation for swing path issues.

  • @disc-golf-neil
    @disc-golf-neil17 күн бұрын

    @@BlitzDG the second one I mentioned is literally a swing path adjustment. The exaggeration part to initially try it would be over compensation to start of course but otherwise it’s just actually adjusting the path. Turn the key can be done in either case tho so I wouldn’t recommend it to an average player who has a massive swoop air bounce swing path, I’m assuming that’s more what you’re getting at? A perfect swing path can produce quite a bit of nose up still with just a bit of last second pronation as well I think.

  • @BlitzDG
    @BlitzDG17 күн бұрын

    Yeah I think most people have nose up from elbow drop/shrugging/external shoulder rotation at the hit, AKA not letting the elbow open freely to snap the disc out. We don't want any kind of swoops if we can help it. If you have a perfect swing path there is no need to pronate. The disc is going to be pulling your elbow open on plane and you would have to try to change it's path to have that issue.

  • @disc-golf-neil
    @disc-golf-neil17 күн бұрын

    @@BlitzDG I agree for the most part, my point about pronation wasn't that you should do it, it's the opposite. It's just an example that even with a perfect swing path a single small problem can negate all the nose benefits of the swing path and so you might still need to supinate more whether static or dynamic. I'm assuming that by swing path you mean more of the whole arm motion, because you can have the same overall arm swing motion but have wrist adjustments within that (more / less wrist curl or pronation or supination). I think a mild inverted swoop is fairly common among pros though. Their elbow starts lower during reachback and is then raised higher as they come into the pocket, so as the elbow is raised the hand is raised up with it (the hand can still remain lower than elbow though from internal rotation) but this raising of the elbow results in a non-straight line pull through like Ezra A demonstrates with exaggeration in his 'nosy' video.

  • @BlitzDG

    I totally get what you’re saying and mean no disrespect. I just think actively supinating or pronating is a bandaid that will just have you fighting nose forever. You are certainly not the only one who preaches it! There are a billion people who use complex swing planes, they just aren’t what I teach or believe is best!

    Do swirly bird into throws relaxed and tell me what happens to your nose angle. It’s not a trick it’s just letting things happen as they happen without tension. It’s the pronation, supination, elbow drop, external rotation of the shoulder, shrugging that jacks people up. I don’t think I’ve ever had someone do swirly bird into throws and throw nose up that way. It’s only when you try to override the leg power that you have issues. You gotta follow it and let the elbow open on plane. I call it opening the gate.
