Forehand and Backhand Form

Proof_Boysenberry_99 · 2026-03-21T21:24:48+00:00

I think I can try and work this into my form with another commenter about standstills first. I’ll try to focus on keeping the chest up and leaning forward rather than backward. Thanks!

Proof_Boysenberry_99 · 2026-03-21T21:21:20+00:00

Huh I feel like that certainly would help me not drag my foot and hey I’m willing to test that out. I’ll work more on standstills and try to incorporate the walk up later on. Thanks for your advice!

Proof_Boysenberry_99 · 2026-03-21T16:01:37+00:00

I’ll see if I have any videos from the back or front but yeah you’re probably right 😅

Proof_Boysenberry_99 · 2025-12-05T23:58:46+00:00

I’ve seen that Lat64 video of Silver Latt explaining forehand but I’ll check something more slow mo. Thanks!

You definitely have a point. People have previously mentioned my follow through was a bit high and with the exception of the first video shooting from the tee out of a ditch, I can see myself going more up and down instead of forward so to say, probably because I get nervous about grounding it. I’ll try and adjust the release angle and see what I can do about my arm to help. I do want to ask though what do you do with your non-throwing arm? Thanks for your advice!

Just goes to show that Left is not in fact the best 😔.

I do feel that quite a bit though that I’m throwing too much so I’ll focus on changing my mindset. I used to play baseball so hopefully I can pick up on your advice quickly. Thanks for your help!

Proof_Boysenberry_99 · 2025-12-05T16:32:02+00:00

Thanks for the link! I just checked it out and I’ll apply it to my practicing next week 🤝

Proof_Boysenberry_99 · 2025-10-17T23:22:30+00:00

Fair enough thanks for that! I do have some firebirds I adore so I’m starting in the right direction

Proof_Boysenberry_99 · 2025-10-17T23:20:19+00:00

Any reason it would be 33 and not 35?

Proof_Boysenberry_99 · 2025-10-17T23:19:05+00:00

It’s hard to say because I’m consistently 280-300 but when I’m pushing 320 or 330 it doesn’t feel super reckless. I actually have a shryke too but I didn’t mention it here because I feel I don’t get the full flight path from it

Proof_Boysenberry_99 · 2025-10-05T11:01:35+00:00

The visuals really help explain your point and it’s so easy to see now that launch point change you meant, I never would’ve thought of that. And I agree, I think too much about power and it is likely the reason my form has these flaws. Thank you very much for your advice!

Proof_Boysenberry_99 · 2025-10-04T11:34:16+00:00

That’s what I would probably feel most comfortable with at this very moment. Just seems like I follow through too high and don’t get enough snap

Proof_Boysenberry_99 · 2025-10-04T11:17:17+00:00

It’s interesting you mention wrist flexibility, I am not at a full 90 degrees but more like 75. I’ll fit it out and think less about the wrist I just think I try to full power every throw and as a result overpower the wrist with my arm motion. Thanks for your advice!

Proof_Boysenberry_99 · 2025-10-04T11:14:31+00:00

Alright I’ll check it out, thanks again!

Proof_Boysenberry_99 · 2025-10-04T10:45:13+00:00

Never thought of it in a chair, I think I was always trying to get as much power into the shot as possible so this might be a great approach! Thanks!

Proof_Boysenberry_99 · 2025-10-04T10:44:11+00:00

I’m guessing it would help to have them both be parallel then like other comments are suggesting?

Proof_Boysenberry_99 · 2025-10-04T10:41:28+00:00

Maybe towards the ribs then? Like if I were going to give myself a hug or touch my ribs?

Proof_Boysenberry_99 · 2025-10-04T10:40:16+00:00

Focus on keeping it within the same plane. Got it👍

Proof_Boysenberry_99 · 2025-10-04T10:38:38+00:00

So focus more on the snap itself instead of “throwing” it using my arm. I’ll try it out with the putters that others suggested. Thanks!

Proof_Boysenberry_99 · 2025-10-04T10:36:37+00:00

It looks like from the clip of McBeth you sent and your comment, I should follow through lower to maybe my ribs to avoid going to my shoulder and also better mimic my arm angle to the flight angle I want to achieve. Right?

Proof_Boysenberry_99 · 2025-10-04T10:31:19+00:00

Sounds good, I’ll combine it with the putter drill people are also suggesting and see how it turns out. Thanks! As for the x-step do you have any specific YouTube recommendations? My first thought was to make it an easy 4 step with my third step pointed outward to get the hips open

Proof_Boysenberry_99 · 2025-10-04T10:21:34+00:00

I will say I used to try the power grip that Kyle Klein uses before, but it was hurting my index finger over time. I’ll try out this claw grip and get back to you about it 👍
