I have 3 things for you for your forehand. I was coached by Chris Taylor. 1 wrist fully cocked always until the follow through 2 longer reach back means more time to accelerate, reaching above head is a better anatomical position 3 Do not plant your plant foot on your heel, you want to stop that lead hip as abruptly as possible and you can do that on your toe, or flat. This will causing trailing hip to shoot around.

It's not a huge angle, but maybe trying to force a higher starting position in the reach back could help with that?

Hey Trevor! I would definitely consider myself forehand dominant and saw a couple things that stand out to me that may help. 1. You are losing a lot of consistency by having a very short reach back and follow through. Would suggest rotating back with your hips and body more and getting the disc away from your body on the reach back then really extending your arm to where you want to throw as you follow through. (Because your wrist snap is already there for that power so you don't need to rush the throw) 2. Throwing low forehands is my favorite thing to do! It was weird at first but it helps to really focus on having your hand at elbow level through the entire follow through. And really force yourself to extend forward. When you think "throw downhill" but your hand gets above your elbow its an annhyzer typically. Good luck! As a fellow Virginia disc golfer I love the vids! Keep it up!!

Some tips from someone who has only played for 6 months that shouldn't be giving you any advice BUT I can throw a 400 ft forehand drive: Loosen your grip, I've noticed that I have a tendency to roll my wrist and turn the disc over when I grip too tightly. Even if you want to throw straight, hold the disc with a little bit of hyzer, I tend to over compensate the flick in my wrist so if I put it on some hyzer I'll actually be throwing it straight. Throw lower to the ground, by turning my body somewhat towards the ground (kind've like Sarah Hokom) I tend to throw flatter and nowhere near as nose up as I used to. And lastly, please throw a DD Trespass on forehand, it gets enough turn to extend the flight but also will go laser straight! Also, just want to say I love the videos, love being able to consume more disc golf content!

I'm a former baseball player forehand only disc golfer. I have pretty good distance, and the thing that always helps me when I want to get more distance is to focus more on flicking my wrist harder, or faster, and less on using my arm to gain that extra speed. Whenever I try to power up with my arm I get less Rpms and distance. But when. I really focus on getting the disc out of my hand faster with more wrist pop I get better distance

The best thing i ever did for my forehand was do fieldwork with neutral discs like buzzes/undertakers. I got a stack of like 12 I had on the rack and they told me right away what my issues were. My common problem was having my hips open and 'pulling' it right. Thinking about "sliding" the disc across a table from my chest to the follow through helped reduce the wobble a ton. And my nose up issues almost always came from 'dipping' my back leg in my weight transfer throwing my shoulders backwards. I was a college tennis player, and comfortably standstill forehand like 325 with fairways now when i couldn't hit C1 from 100 feet with a forehand. I still need to work on adding a walk up into it... my weight transfer goes out the window when i add it. Hope me learning from my mistakes might click! Loving the videos.

I also have a baseball background (P,3B) and it took me a lot of time and experimentation to find forehand confidence. Throwing a ball and throwing a disc are very different, but the power transfer mechanics are the same. A couple things I try to keep in mind when I’m practicing are to make sure that i plant my front foot first as i would with a backhand. Keep my weight back and the violence down in the throwing motion by driving my right hip instead of trying to contract my left side. It helps me stay fluid and on my line and reach through the hit point. Helps me get more spin as well. I had to experiment with grips a lot to get a clean release. I have been using a pretty flat palmed pistol grip and still getting good spin and speed but sacrificing hyzer angle control

I think one simple analysis is that your are dropping into your throwing stance as you are beginning to throw. Try a walk up while your are already into throwing position, so your whole body doesn't have to drop/rotate to get into position before you throw. This should make things more consistent, less variable in stance movement. I've been a forehand dominant player for 11+years due to shoulder injuries. I max around ~450ft on flat ground. The biggest tip I give to new players is the elbow-hip connection. Let your elbow/arm follow your hip as it rotates through. This is high-impact on your elbow, so if you aren't flexible you won't be able to achieve a good whip. Also, tight pinch, where the disc should be ripping through your lead finger as you release. I have a permanent callus on my middle finger where the disc releases.

Best piece of advice would be field work with a neutral putter. Start with not much power at all and slowly build up. Also try to find discs that are comfortable for your forehand. I have nukes that I only use for backhand, but a couple that I can also forehand. Try to look for discs that are more flat rather than domey. Flatter discs seem to be better for most golfers forehand.

It increased the spin dramatically and I can now get 300' + on my FH throws. I also stopped using OS discs and focused on US discs. My Sidewinder and Wave are my go-tos. With US discs you have to be smooth or else it's burning into the ground. If I really want to get into a throw now I will use a halo Destroyer to crank on it.

I've learned two lessons while trying to get better forehand. I used to be like you and liked to throw a bit overstable disc to get flex flight. But I tore my abdominal muscle last week because I was lacking follow through. :( How I learned how to throw flat/ hyzer with disc: I just started throwing understable discs. For me it's Neo Essence. Now I can flick/ throw my essence/ worn G-line PD any place and hit 90-100meters and it has helped me throw stable distance drivers (DD3, Destroyer, wraiths) flat/ hyzer further.

Whenever my forehand gets away from me, I usually hit my local 9-hole putter course, and practice my standstill forehands with my zone. It's helped me get out of forehand funks so many times. Usually, I'm having to re-calibrate my "flick" part of my throw and minimize arm movements. From there is just working your disc's nose angle to maximize distance with the least amount of moving parts during the throwing motion. Sick video dude!

One note for follow through with forehands: make sure you get your right leg through when you follow through. When you keep that right foot planted, all your power stops at the hips. When you release the disc, let your right leg lift up and allow your body to do a full turn like a backhand, it will help your power immensely.

Hey Trevor, first off, I really love that you decided to go a solo channel route. It gives me more confidence to actually continue my own channel. I have a channel I started last year but only have about 6 shorts on it. Really wanted to do full videos but didn’t have a good image on how to do it. And I feel like we are more alike then I am compared with any other solo disc golf KZitemr. Yes I know you already had a following but still give me more drive to actually try it. Second, I’m not a forehand expert but I feel like I have a good grasp, and sometimes still better from someone seeing in. So when I throw my forehands I am also low but I hinge more at my waist instead bending my knees more. So my timing pretty much stays the same and it allows me to, for the most part, keep my arm at a more comfortable angle, just like the angle you said you are more comfortable with. Also, your follow through, for nose angle, what I tell people when they are first learning and I’m teaching them, I tell them to make sure your fingers finish pointing towards the basket then work in the follow through to finish down towards your left hip. Hopefully that might help, it one of those thing you might have to start all the way over to basics because you have been playing for so long, you body’s muscle memory will always revert back and you have to try to corrected the little things more often. And then you don’t think about the shot and start thinking of everything all at once and then throw bad shot. Hope you actually read through this whole comment and it helps if not thanks for your time man, keep up the content

I’m not a pro forehander by any means but I learned something new that you could possibly learn in your game as well. My right foot always sat at a 45 degree angle (that’s what felt most comfortable) and I saw a video explaining that people who do that cause themselves to lose power because their hips aren’t opening. This clip of you doing the same exact thing is messing up your timing as well as loss of power with the 45 degree angle 17:01 try having your foot at a 90 degree angle making a T at your desired target. I’ve been learning this and have easily increased my distance by 40 feet and still learning. Also you mentioned having wobble in your forehands is due to you using so much arm rather than using your flick. Cranking on a forehand won’t benefit you much unless you’re doing field work for more distance to figure out what’s right and wrong in your throw. Hope that helps and gives you a little more distance and aim. Also side note using the 90 degree foot stance caused me to get so much more power in my throw and that my favorite straight flyer started turning over so don’t freak out if that starts happening.

I loved this round. Honestly talking through it can help me and others improve their forehands too. I only throw forehand and one thing I am good at is throwing very clean (no wobble forehands). I can only throw just over 300ft with my drivers (typically 10 speeds) so take my advice with a grain of salt. But I have been working on my follow through as well and also angle one thing that helps with both is thinking about my wrist and even forearm going through at the angle I want the disc to release on as I’m throwing. I throw lots of hyzer flips because I like flippy stuff and it also lets me know if I roll my wrist. Another thing I have been doing is deciding the angle of release before throwing instead of midshot (don’t ever decide midshot). Then even if the shot goes to a bad spot but I hit my angle I’m not upset with the shot. This also helps me learn my discs more.

I come from a pitching background. I have a terrible OAT forehand because I try to over power the disc for distance. I don't have much spin. I ran into an Ultimate Frisbee player and I asked him how he throws a forehand. He said he just concentrated on his wrist snap. He tries to leave his elbow and should still. I was floored how he threw an Ascend by Axiom (6 5 -3 1) over 300 feet and only 10ft off the ground. Can't imagine how far he could have thrown my Destroyer. I thought, no harm in just concentrating on my wrist snap at impacted. I was shocked how well I threw with no OAT and 200ft. I started laughing and noticed it did not hurt my arm either. So after a couple more field work events, I'm all in on just thinking about the wrist. I'll take an accurate Valkyre (9 5 -2 2) 320ft all day long. It sure raises your confidence when you can look at your target and have it go close to where you want it to. I'm an old man now (60yo) and if I can play for another 20 yrs I'd be happy with a modest forehand especially in woods play. Thanks for the video!

So one of the things I'm seeing is there's always a fair amount of wobble in the first part of your flight which is going to make your shot less consistent overall. In generally you're going to want to try and focus on putting the force through the rim. Disclaimer, I'm a single finger forehander, but I found pinching the rim between my thumb and middle finger (ring finger for you) to control my angles allow me to more directly put the force through the rim and helped a lot with reducing wobble. Pinching the rim doesn't work as well for mids and putter because of the narrower rim but it's still possible, it's just a little more uncomfortable.

Forehand is something I struggle with, but recently I've been able to get some pretty good distance and accuracy with it by simply exaggerating how much I swing my right foot around. Before I was sliding my feet more and keeping my right foot planted after the throw, but by picking up my right foot (RHFH) and swinging it just a little bit to my side Ive gained about 75'-100' of distance. This also helped me to get the nose down and I believe it's because it's causing me to get a little lower on my throw. I still struggle with turning it over too much when I power up, but it's all in due time.

It's a forehand for me. A flick is what I use for a short forehand upshot - I flick it towards the basket.

I'm in a similar place. I learned discgolf with the forehand but transitioned to the backhand when I started seriously playing. For a while I threw bothsides but if felt like my control and power for driving wasnt there so I became a backhand dominant player outside of approaching as I dont seem to struggle with the forehand approach. I've been forcing myself to throw basically my entire bag on forehand just to relearn the feel as it feels necessary to progress as a well rounded player tournaments or otherwise

Humble tip from one who only forehanded for a while: Your coach may have been on to something when saying don't throw "sidearm". Try doing more of an overhand throw using your hips to get low and level the disc out rather than legs. May work, may not. Something to try. May learn something.😄

Great video. I too have been working on my forehand a lot lately. What has really helped me is practice with understable mids and putters, the logic in base line feels amazing for flicks. its been great for knowing the angles and saved me quite a few strokes where you need the right to left movement but aren't able to throw a backhand

Might be too much post-production work, but have you ever considered putting the name/manufacturer/flight numbers of the disc you are throwing up in the the corner of the screen before each throw? Would help familiarize us beginners with the various discs and reinforce what you are trying to do throw-wise. Could also insert a pic of the disc and maybe even the release angle you are attempting--hyzer, anhyzer, flat.

I'm having a lot of the same issues with my forehand and rely on chopping down on it to keep it nose down. The thing that's working for me right now is thinking of the throw like it's a slap rather than a swing of my arm. It's helping me time the hit easier too but still lots of work to be done. Looking forward to see the progress.

I have to agree with this comment, used to have a really good forehand until a shoulder injury forced me to play only backhand for a year. The way I got back into my forehands was to not think of it as a throw, dont overdo a reachback or followthrough, just think of the hit point and throw abunch of 200-250' shots with that small hitpoint and angles as a focus. If you can do that with your honey or some other neutral disc a bunch of times and feel comfortable, then all you have to do is try to hit it abit harder.

Ive never really made breakthroughs or improvements on course with my form, I think field work, with a few fixed camera angles is a whole lot better when this is the type of goal you have, where you can throw several discs in a row with specific biomechanics in mind and video feedback on what you are doing wrong or right

Suoer stoked with this channel! I really can't wait for more. One quick thing i notced u can improve on is zooming in and moving around the camera in editing, some great examples is any of Bodaza, Nate Turner or Broderic videos. I noticed this 6:00 minutes in. Awsome work and like I said can't wait for more

Amazing video again.. I throw a lot of forehands for my drives using nukes and raptors and felons..I try to stay flat by always acting like I’m wiping off a table or just swinging a baseball bat one handed.

Hey Trevor. I get about 330’ on my forehand. I’m a relatively new player. I do the arm swing that Simon and Paul do and it helps my arm get into a baseball throw form then I just focus on throwing submarine. That’s how I went from baseball to disc golf. Don’t know if that will help. Love the videos.

I really enjoyed this video! I cant throw a forehand more than a funky 60 footer, so thanks for this.

As a guy whos gone through the struggles of teaching myself how to forehand recently, I feel for you. My miss is probably the opposite, I tend to throw into the ground a bit, but also wrist rolling and all other kinds of misses you can imagine, but mainly low and turned over. My work in progress fix for throwing low and overturned is actually throwing less stable discs, forcing myself to throw more of a hyzer release, thus negating the "chop down" motion and with that also getting the disc level or on a slight upward trajectory. The flip up forehand for me atleast has also led to me actually being able to get some decent distance out of my forehand which previously was only used for utility shots. My power still isnt massive by any stretch, but on a good day my forehand has actually become sort of a reliable tool to get just north of 300' which is still about a 100' short of where my backhand is but I really cant complain since it used to be 220' on a good day at the start of the season.
