  2. All of my drives always seem to be going very high and getting caught in
    the wind and losing a lot of distance, any tips on how to keep my throws
    consistently lower?

  4. @t3hsniper Yeah, I have a two finger grip on my backhand, but make sure
    it’s nice and tight on the throw. Thats where the snap n spin come from
    that gives you the D. I guess this was a year ago, so you’ve probably got
    some decent hukking down by now. Huk on brother..

  10. Hey there. Our tutorials are meant to be suggestive since with Disc Golf
    there are a lot of options at your disposal. Stick with what’s comfortable
    for you and if you don’t feel like your game is improving then maybe try a
    tight grip with the backhand. Either way, we hope you keep enjoying the
    sport and thanks for checking out our video.

  12. please nobody actually do this tecnique. keep the disk level at all times.
    have both hand on the disk like your holding a wii remote and num chuck
    straight. when the disk gets parallel with your waist take your left hand
    off (if your a righty) and put all your power in your left hand when you
    let go

  16. I hate hearing different things…I’ve heard hold it tight and i’ve heard
    hold it lose but have a grip where you can wiggle it around with that
    hand’s arm moving around but it wont fall out. I’m going to stick with the
    second thing I said because I hear it’s supposed to rip out of your hand
    not let go of it.

  17. I sure do appreciate y’all reminding an “old man” some of the basics of
    this game. As a player since the inception of the sport (1982) & a flinger
    of frisbees since the 60’s, it was quite refreshing & informative. BTW, my
    PDGA number is 3447 & although my age has gone UP while my strength has
    gone DOWN, I will NEVER grow tired of playing Disc Golf ! Keep up the good
    work ! DISC GOLF RULES !!!

  19. @erokstonechuk I wish they had them up this year over at the park that our
    course is in. So when waiting for people to show up or after a round I
    could just practice drives a bit.

  20. I hope it didn’t sound too much like i was putting your videos down, they
    are informative and great videos. And it’s all about finding out which way
    of throwing you like and possibly modifying something to make it your own.

  22. @erokstonechuk Yeah, decent distance, but what I think I really need to
    figure out is accuracy. I’d be happy with the distance I have now if I were
    more accurate with the majority of my throws. I guess that all comes with
    time though.

  24. True…I guess everyone has their own grip. Even my friend(has played for 7
    years) never uses a “power grip” but keeps his index finger on the rim of
    the disc. But one thing to make sure you don’t do is “grip lock” which i
    think gripping tightly could cause.

  25. Good video, good audio, clearly spoken, good text overlays, good pace ..
    what more could a beginner learning some good technique ask for 🙂
