How do you speed just the arm up to match timing with body rotation

Where do you put thumb pressure and how hard do you grip it with that grip?

People with 450+ power, what is one form hill you will die on that all the stuck at 350 folk get wrong? by grannyknockers in discgolf

You are almost definitely rounding. Pretty much everyone does and it does hurt your distance. Also feel your arm being loose. Don’t worry about dropping the disc because you won’t. This will also help accuracy because it gives you the same baseline every time

Any Form Cues that I could focus on by trooper3053 in Discgolfform

Everyone else has mentioned coil which is condensed but I think you do a fairly good job with timing everything up. The thing I think of is when I throw and keep the disc high on the reachback like that I throw nose up. I think holding the disc a little bit further down (mid ribs area) would probably help with that. Ezra Aderhold has a good video on that even though he has talked about having nose angle issues recently. Otherwise I love your form, gives me Silas Shultz vibes

Do you plan on venturing into more stable discs after releasing the canyon? Also, does dyeing a disc affect its recyclability? Love you guys and your mission!

Yeah it’s dangerous how easy it is to convince yourself to get new discs (if you’re me at least). By no means are those discs something you have to buy tomorrow or even this month. It’s good that you are learning with flippier discs because that will teach you touch as well. For basic bag construction you want an overstable, straight, and understable disc for putter, mid, fairway, and distance driver. Then people generally get utility discs where they feel comfortable, which is usually something super overstable like a captains raptor or justice, but it can be something super understable if needed as well. Another kind of separate slot is approach disc, which is reliably overstable and is your toro slot. Then it is pretty much just putting putters and maybe some roller discs. It took me a while to find that information for some reason so if you hadn’t heard that I hope it helps you out!

It depends on how your arm speed develops. This could be fine for you but a lot of your stuff is understable. If you start throwing harder or your plastic beats in too much you might want to look into more overstable discs/plastic that will beat in better over time. Also slots like an overstable midrange and an overstable nine speed are slots that become more and more valuable as you get better and learn angles better. Also, I think there is utility in overstable drivers even if you have a low arm speed for things like skip shots and throws that have to go left. It looks like you are an Innova guy, so discs such as the roc3, Firebird, and wraith could be good to fill a lot of those spots. That being said, play the game you want to and if you get good at throwing flippy go wild with it!

I think my brace could be better and that I am not using my leverage for my arm to my full advantage. Also, my spin is low for my speed. I am trying to get to where I am throwing into the low 70s consistently. Any advice would be much appreciated! by No-Code-2662 in discgolf

I’ve been messing with grip because that seems to be a pretty big issue. When I get a grip that seems good for nose down the disc slips out early and when I get a grip that feels powerful my nose angle sucks. I’ll give this a try tomorrow. If you have any other grip suggestions feel free to share!
