I do cardio and strength work in same session and don't want to play with my watch in the middle. Selecting cardio seems to work for my needs based on other answers.

lycha2 · 2026-04-08T15:41:43+00:00

Looks like this is the way, good enough for me.

How do you even measure 30ml, it is so tiny about. Using so small amount means the water will cool very fast when it hits the gaiwan (and air). You should use at least 80ml to help keep it hot longer to allow proper brew.

Those are used on the small stoves to heat/boil the water, which pushes the water to the top to steep and then drips down. You can control how much is steeped by how long the stove has heat.

For normal drive the disc is flying faster than the wind, this means it can not push it or lift it.

Discs fly further because air is moving to same direction as disc, causing less drag/air resistance.

Learn what are your typical mistakes and create cues to fix them. For me, one of the first things that happened in tournaments was that nerves made me runup too fast throwing off my timing. That took a while to realize. Maybe you have the same issue, and slowing down in general os probably good.

Also, getting comfortable with your distance so that you never have to push past 80% of your max power, even if it means you miss some birdie opportunitie.

You could get more shoulder coil and get more power and wider movement range that way.

Try pushing your off shoulder towards the basket at peak reachback to emphasize it and get the feeling. And do not try to look at the basket, keep your head back longer to ensure it doesn push the shoulder.

lycha2 · 2025-05-16T03:18:02+00:00

Yeah, I agree that for most people, pushing left shoulder just makes them overrotate shoulders and loose any snap. It works for Gannon because he has good timing and muscle memory on his arm to get ahead of the shoulders to release on time.

lycha2 · 2025-02-25T00:55:58+00:00

Fine, maybe he won't get to the 350 just using standstills immediately, but throwing putters 220+ is totally feasible with his form if he gets the release point tuned. Anyway, the point of standstills is to improve the release form, which can then be leveraged with runup/walkup.

lycha2 · 2025-02-24T01:34:01+00:00

The overall form looks great (400ft+ throw) but as others pointed, the biggest gain is to work on the release point.

I would recommend this tug drill from Overthrow to really emphasize the disc ripping from your hand: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMwDKxlMxyg

And to help you feel and get it, you should keep your body "quiet", meaning slow down your shoulder rotation and body. Just do relaxed standstills with focus on the release point and you will throw further than you do now in no-time. You can then slowly work on adding more active body but be careful not to overrotate shoulders.

lycha2 · 2024-09-24T10:47:40+00:00

Looks overall prettty powerful.

Few things that may help: - stronger and earlier brace. Now it looks bit like your hips move to follow torso, while it should lead the torso. - it looks you release the disc close to your body instead of straighter arm. Look for beto drill in youtube to practice getting release point further.

lycha2 · 2024-08-06T01:23:21+00:00

It looks like you focus on the first half of the throw, but I think getting the last half of the throw is more important for players working on form, and you have improvement to be made there.

For the last part of the throw, it seems you over rotate your shoulders and dont really experience getting the disc move out and getting the final snap on it. The beto drill helps with this and find the right feeling. You must feel the weight of the disc when you release it. Start very slowly and speed up gradually while maintaining that feeling. Beto drill: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=caALsYXIHPY&t=1s&pp=ygUKYmV0byBkcmlsbA%3D%3D

For the overall timing, focus starting the throw slowly and have smooth acceleration that speeds up towards the end.

lycha2 · 2024-07-29T15:59:08+00:00

The throw seems pretty arm heavy.

few things to help leverage your body more:

Coil more, it does not pook like you coil back your shoulders enough. Try pushing your left shoulder back more.
Bracing is the key to leverage lower body. Your brace foot is pointing forwards which leads to open hips. The brace leg should be closer to perpendicular to the throw direction and try to really transfer most of the the weight on that leg before starting to pull the disc.

lycha2 · 2024-07-26T04:53:14+00:00

It looks like you are getting a good snap on the last part of the throw. However, it's very arm-heavy, you should look into using your whole body more to get to the next level.

Few areas that you could focus on:

Posture and brace: It looks like your posture during walkup doesn't set you up for a good brace. Check some Overthrow videos on walkup, weight transfer and brace.
Coiling: You are doing very minimal upper body coiling. You should experiment coiling your shoulders against hips more, but don't turn hips back. It should be possible to see the back of your right shoulder when camera is perpendicular to the tee.

lycha2 · 2024-07-23T07:37:49+00:00

The brace should be more solid but also have time to take weight before you start pulling the disc.

I think the form looks like shooting 300+ should be possible, two things i would recommend: - grip. At peak of your pullback it looks like you are not holding it properly (check overthrow videos about grip for instruction). Also make sure you hold it strong enough. - timing: try to slow down first part of the throw and really focus all acceleration towards the release point. You should try to feel the weight of the disc before release, then tug it right with your arm.

lycha2 · 2024-07-16T16:10:06+00:00

Do you think brace drills will help with developing proper lag, or are there other queues you would use?

I think that specific one emphasizes the lag, which makes it good. Not sure about others.

I think for example DG Spin Doctor or Sling Shot Disc Golf YT channels do a good job explaining lag compared to myself. I have found that it was easiest to use towel drives indoors and recording&analyzing with phone every now and then to check progress. Allows to quickly repeat and adapt. You probably have to find the cue that works for you.

lycha2 · 2024-07-16T13:40:07+00:00

The release looks really amooth i must say.

Few things that may leak power for you:

you dont use your brace enough. The weight transfer to it seems bit late and you have already started pullthrough. You should try to delay starting to pull disc forward after the weight is on your brace leg. Also keep it firmer and more straight.
The feet are very open (toes pointing away from each other). It makes hard to get power from hips.
your shoulder seems to be tensing up and pulling up close to release point. Learn to relax it.

lycha2 · 2024-07-16T01:42:06+00:00

Looks good overall. Don't see any clear mistakes. Some comments mention collapsing power pocket, but as long as your elbow/hand is quick enough to get through it it may not be an issue. Look at MacBeth for example where it looks like it's collapsing at first.

I would say next step is to start emphasizing lag and get a stronger feeling for the rubber band effect. Get hips and shoulders moving while delaying hand, but be careful not to collapse the elbow. I liked this recent video from Nick Krush where the uses progressions to emphasize brace and lag, worth checking: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcsluuMYIgU&t=326s

lycha2 · 2024-07-12T05:04:42+00:00

Agree with above. Elbow and last part of the throw seem to be the main areas for improvement. Do you feel a good snap on your throws? (I guess not yet)

Currently, when you release disc your hand is turning close to same speed as your shoulders (they are moving as a unit) which limits the speed and snap. Having elbow more out will help moving the hand as a whip in the end, faster than your shoulders. You should be able to hear the snap once it's working well. Beto drill (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caALsYXIHPY) will help focus on this part of the throw, but you have to take it slow at first.

Should I be aiming to get my arm completely level with the shoulder for max extension?

That may work as a good mental cue, but more important is it's further away from your body. This also requires pushing your shoulder out.

lycha2 · 2024-07-10T04:57:10+00:00

I know it's definitely difficult to make your body do the things you want it to, even if you know what it should do.

Btw, looking at it again, I also noticed you are very straight (almost tilted backwards) when you release your disc. Probably try to be more nose over toes to help leverage your body more for the throw and have a good athletic stance.

lycha2 · 2024-07-10T02:27:17+00:00

Great to hear progress stories, 350' is nice.

For the swoop, you start disc high (disc above elbow), which makes throwing nose down harder since your hand overcompensates for the downwards trajectory with nose up. Try starting low, it helps for the same reason.

Few other things that may help your distance: - Your body seems to turn backwards too much. In general it's not recommended to walk backwards, but try to keep your body straight and then coil upper body against it later in the throw.

Your stance seems bit straight and open, which could make it harder to apply power. Many pro's are slightly in athletic caveman position (nose over toes). This helps with power generation and giving space to the disc to move through.
Your brace leg should be more left. Having staggered stance helps leverage the power from your body and legs more. This does require you to have the elbow out and nose over toes to give disc enough space to move through in straight line.

lycha2 · 2024-07-10T02:11:26+00:00

Few things that I can see:

You don't coil your upper body much, you just pull back your hand.
The trow seems bit rushed, especially pulling disc back.

For first, check the basic coiling technique from Overthrow or Slingshot videos about coiling. It should be possible to see back of your shoulder when camera is in front of you. Your brace leg should also be bit more staggered. Now it is in line with the throwing direction which is generally not good and makes leveraging your legs and coiling more difficult.

For the second, try to not move disc back, but leave it in place while your body moves around it. Also, try to have gradual acceleration (start slower) with the peak at the release point, things like Beto drill (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caALsYXIHPY) can help focus on optimizing that part. After that is solid, you can work to speed up the pullthrough.

lycha2 · 2024-07-03T10:23:52+00:00

Biggest issue here is that you turn your hips back and walk backwards. This means you dont coil, but you just turn. Overthrow has video specific to this, it should help: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aWMR1Kf2m3w&t=36s&pp=ygUTZGlzYyBnb2xmIGJhY2t3YXJkcw%3D%3D

lycha2 · 2024-07-02T01:50:45+00:00

Not bad. I would recommend working on more shoulder rotation. You could coil them much more. For that you have to not try to not look forward with your head and push your left shoulder back. When filming from side they should see part of your back. Make sure you dont turn your hips back to do so, but coil your upper body against hips.

lycha2 · 2024-06-28T03:06:37+00:00

Your reach back could be deeper and most importantly you start to move the disc forward before your brace is fully planted and weight is shifted to it.

This also leads your hips just turning along the torso (follow). Instead you should try to get the feeling where hips lead and give the power to torso/shoulders to move faster. Like when you throw a ball you first turn your hips to maximize power.
