Honestly, for all the tips I try and follow, your explanations are without a doubt the most easy to understand and incorporate. I'm sure there are amazing coaches or athletic trainers out there, but your verbage and breakdown of what your talking about just seems easier to follow. I know it sounds dumb, but I made sounds with my disc from my throws the other day, never happened before. I always play around guys that have an audible throw, so intimidating for players who can't yet. When my friend mentioned my throw made a "hissing" sound like it was tearing through the air...all I wanted to do was throw again quick and hear it for myself. Thank you, sir, you're clearly making a difference already.

The advice you gave (and showed at approximately 0:36 and onwards) kinda gave me an ahaa moment! I tried this at home (dry practising) and I felt that the timing of my reachback and the (fake) throw felt much better. One of my current issues is that when trying to throw using a stand still stance, it just doesn't feel right (timing is off, etc...). When comparing your advice against the way I think I usually throw (from stand still stance), I sense a huge difference. The timing felt much better and also the general feeling was better. I need to verify your advice on the field as soon as possible. Keep up with these videos. I enjoy watching them.

I actually started using the one-step drill since you kind of alluded to it in my form critique and it's given me some great results. Yesterday I tried a run-up again with my new Renegade and I was able to get it out to 380 (although I did have a tailwind). THANK YOU for addressing the misnomer of grip lock. I've heard it mentioned by some other people before, but never explained quite this well. Keep up the good work!

You mentioned keeping the spine straight and not learning to the side. I have been working on this since you did the critic for my son, and I can tell you that not only does it help the throw, my back feels much better also.

Great video Danny! Your advice in my personal critique video has really helped me conceptualize a proper throwing motion. These videos have definitely reinforced those points you've made. One comment on the video - I think Eagle is a great example of the "power pocket". He has a really aggressive reach back, but at the moment before his forward hit, his disc is tucked right back into his chest then explodes out. Great content! Keep it comin!

You don’t really wanna focus on reaching back, rather, take a step away from the disc, leaving it in place while you setup first the lower body twitch, then the pull during weight shift, and the whip on the front foot brace.

Nice one Danny. Your videos are getting better all the time. Grip lock can also involve some wrist roll too, I think. Talking about The Line Of Play is important. Establishing WHY pulling down the LOP is a good idea... would be a good idea! Pulling down the LOP means early releases will fly along the LOP and simply drop a bit short and left, while late releases might turn a fraction more, after flying down the LOP, and go a bit long. This as opposed to a rounded pull, which *always* results in a tangential arc from the curve, so early releases fly radically left, and late releases fly savagely right. The more rounded the pull, the more extreme the deviation from the intended LOP. I'd like to challenge your statement about not putting more than 60% into a standing throw. The full-power standing throw is vital to a well-developed game, as footing or circumstance may often preclude any kind of walk-in, or x-step. Using (Heavydisc) Jason's sit-and-squeeze backhand redevelopment standing-still exercises, you can easily learn to put 100% power into a standing shot, without it damaging your backhand x-step. In fact, I say it improves your x-step because you are able to adopt a more powerful body position for the smash, (power pocket) and you are able to hit the disc really really hard, *and stay in balance the entire time*. Additionally, a standing throw is much easier to time than an x-step, and hence you can extract more distance from less momentum, due to the increased efficiency of form. Having just spent the weekend with Manabu "ManaBOOM" Kajiyama, and 67-year old Kazuo Shirai, I can tell you that efficiency should be the #1 goal in disc golf. I watched Manaboom make Big Jerm and Avery J (Both of whom weigh twice as much as Manabu) look like weaklings, throwing 190 metres on Sunday afternoon, and easily out-throwing the other two by 50+ metres. I would like to see you defend your assertion about it making for bad habits. I am happy to be proven wrong if you are talking about intermediate players, but at any decent level of play, I think it behooves players to work hard on developing a power standing shot.

Been following your videos for a while now and have been very impressed with them. Just my opinion but I feel this video is lacking more examples and more specific breakdowns. I just feel like this video mirrors a dozen other videos on KZitem about bad habits and how to fix them. Heavy disc does a phenomenal job at explaining more mechanics and proven theory that's why he is leading the pack with "how to" and coaching disc golf

I gotta say I am glad I subscribed to your channel. You are good at explaining basic technique and why it is important to do certain intricate details such as placing the hand on the outside of the disc as its crossing your chest. I knew that this was important to do, but I never knew why until I watched this video. Explaining the motion of a whip 2:30 into the video really put it into perspective for me and it was like the light bulb went off in my brain lol. Now I do have a question that you may or may not have answered already: did you (or will you) do a video about the release timing in relation to the body's position? Also does changing the style of grip (i.e. power grip vs fan grip) affect the release timing? Thanks again for the great video!

Hey Danny - outstanding as usual - like you, i analyze form a lot and something i have noticed is that a lot of the power throwers out there add a step during their reach back, right before the pull, where they break the wrist - you can see the disc move inward towards the forearm, and it will be nose up, nose down, or horizontal. Have you seen this as well? It appears that they are attempting to force more rotation into the disc upon release by forcing the tendon bounce to snap further due to it being stretched more.

You need to extend your model to include body types that are not "skinny little white dude" like fat belly guys or women with large chests. Heimburg doesn't reach back at all. He stays coiled at the chest. It is all hip snap leg strength. McBeth swings out around, not straight through. Explaining why this works for them and to other similar body types would help clarify your points. Heimburg is long and lanky- too much reach back would slow his hand speed late. McBeth is a mystery to me. He is short, but long armed. But somehow he whips the disc while breaking every one of your rules. Help figure this one out and I will give you some props.

Learned so many bad habits from this guy. Ezra Aderhold has two sub-5min videos that do more to explain the throwing motion than hours of content from this channel. Obviously not all bad advice, but there's enough bad info that you'll set yourself back practicing bad technique.
