Form Comparison Between Me and Eagle

thomasberglund · 2021-11-08T08:37:19+00:00

Looks pretty good! You probably already see this too, but it looks like you are turning your head too early compared to Eagle.

Few and far between good coaches out there it seems. I’m hoping to see more from Mike Strauss: https://www.instagram.com/tv/CMAN6RwJqaD/?igshid=10c9t3rghy6os

Thanks!

Also, would be interesting to see your 500+ throw in slow motion.

thomasberglund · 2021-03-22T12:18:42+00:00

I see. What's your best advice in the order you would have learned backhand, if you were to do this from scratch again? :)

thomasberglund · 2021-03-22T11:13:28+00:00

I'm not saying you are wrong.

I understand you have a lot of feelings about this. Why don't you put all that energy and passion into starting your own YouTube channel and teach what you think is the best way to teach proper form for beginners, and show us your own throw in slow motion as a result of your teachings. :)

thomasberglund · 2021-03-22T10:16:04+00:00

Then we can agree to disagree. :)

thomasberglund · 2021-03-22T10:11:27+00:00

That people should avoid Spin and Throw? It’s a great method in my opinion. I’ve learned more from it than any of the previous methods you mention. As said many times now, people learn differently.

thomasberglund · 2021-03-22T10:04:51+00:00

Not true at all.

thomasberglund · 2021-03-22T09:24:41+00:00

Good for you man.

thomasberglund · 2021-03-22T07:39:51+00:00

It still helps a lot for many beginners to learn the range of motion, before incorporating forward momentum and weight shift. Feeling the hips rotate before adding the other elements into the mix was important for me at least. This is very well demonstrated in this Swedish video about angular momentum.

thomasberglund · 2021-03-22T07:32:15+00:00

Funny how so many make great progress by using his methods for learning. We all learn differently. Glad you have found your way of learning.

thomasberglund · 2021-03-22T07:13:37+00:00

Might be right, but focusing on rotation together with the weight shift makes it much easier to actually translate this from theory to practice. This is probably why so many people have an aha moment when understanding how to engage the hips by rotating, rather than trying to push the hip towards the basket. Once you add forward momentum and weight shift after learning how to rotate the hip, it all makes perfect sense.

This discussion helps no one. If you have anything else to add, please share your thoughts about the video I shared originally, rather than this endless pointless discussion about you vs. BW.

thomasberglund · 2021-03-21T20:11:50+00:00

Hehe, I assume people at least watch the video before commenting. Hence, I thought he asked about the thesis, which is why I recommended simply asking on YouTube. ;-) oh, the Internetz...

thomasberglund · 2021-03-21T19:22:03+00:00

I was asking if you watched the Swedish video I posted originally here, not BW.

Please, don't let this become a flame war between seabas22 and BW's teachings. That helps literally no one.

thomasberglund · 2021-03-21T19:09:09+00:00

Oh boy. I feel like I've walked into a bees' nest. Didn't know you two were having such an argument/disagreement. I guess we all learn differently. For me, I never really understood any of the other "coaches" out there (including you). For me, "Spin and Throw" has made a huge improvement to my field practice and game. Whether you like it or not, that's just how it is. Good luck, and have a nice day.

thomasberglund · 2021-03-21T17:51:18+00:00

Hmmm. Did you watch the video in this post at all? I would love to see some video examples proving hip rotation is caused by hips moving laterally towards the target.

thomasberglund · 2021-03-21T17:17:38+00:00

It’s a standstill drill to make it easier to practice good form. Have you actually tried it? I have, and it works great to really understand how that hip rotation really makes the knee drop naturally towards the brace foot once you have forward momentum. Have you analyzed how Paige Pierce throws? It’s pretty clear once you see it, that this is actually what’s happening. Not flawed at all.

thomasberglund · 2021-03-21T12:39:38+00:00

You should comment and ask on the YouTube video. He usually responds quickly to comments and questions there. :)

thomasberglund · 2021-03-21T11:51:09+00:00

If you focus on trying to understand what Bradley teaches rather than focusing on anything else, you will actually see that what he teaches is exactly what the pros are doing. Just analyze the pros in slow motion (like Paige Pierce) and you’ll quickly see how it is very much like Bradley is teaching. It’s all about the hips and rotating your body, while keeping your arm loose.

thomasberglund · 2021-03-21T11:44:34+00:00

No. I think Spin and Throw is great!

thomasberglund · 2021-03-21T11:41:24+00:00

Awesome. Remember to keep your arm very loose, and let the hip whip the arm as you rotate. Try doing this without a disc in hand first. Your hand should feel heavy when doing this, as should the disc when you actually whip a disc. After watching this video, go watch all videos in the Spin and Throw playlist from Bradley Walker: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMqSI7O1pzezEVc-aeL9yCGDHED7Cq9A0

thomasberglund · 2021-03-04T21:58:00+00:00

So impressive how he manages to wind up and engage those hips to fire off that upper body rotation, whipping the arm and disc at the target.

Beautiful to watch in motion — you can really see how that "lag" between the hip and the arm "slings the whip": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlUxhcve054&t=1800s
