I like the slow-mo's they really show the kinetic linking in his body - ie transfer of energy.

Define "sport'.

b. A particular form of this activity.

2. An activity involving physical exertion and skill that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often undertaken competitively.

Disc golf satisfies all of these...anything else smartass?

I started not to long ago with my dad, and found throwing the wolf sidearm flat always tends to turn to a real nice roller, i gotta learn to make it come quicker though since my roll tends to go past the basket

[unclemercy]

ever bringing more of these, or what?

[throwaspirit]

George throws some crazy rollers!

[Beetardthepwninator]

Nice. This vid gives a very clear idea of what timing to use; start the pull as soon as your right foot plants. gydigh, the backhand throws were done with a powergrip. The forehand shots were the middle finger against the inside of the rim with the index finger bracing it. On a backhand drive, the key to distance is to pull the disc in straight line close to your body, not swing your arm in an arc, that and use the power grip. Look it up and see some pictures.

[gydigh]

What would help is if your would show how you are gripping the disc for each throw and then show the throw. Just an idea.

I usually throw my driver backhand but I am lucky if it goes 100 ft! Really have a hard time throwing it forehand. I'm afraid if I don't learn how to throw it right that I will be stuck throwing it a 100 ft or less for ever!!

[championdger]

that used to be me 100 ft big ass hyzer, saw some one throw forehand/sidearm, stopped throwing backhand period, last year, I started to use it a lot more, tried different grips, and now I can throw a little over 400 ft on a good drive. just try new and different grips, and also keep playing, you cant really get worse, unless you stop playing for 8 years like a friend of mine, he still plays, and it's coming back to him.

First of all, great idea and execution on the video!

As an amateur player, slowing the shot down to actually SEE the finer points of what was going on is a major benefit. I'm sure it's a lot more work than it appears to get everything lined out for a video like this, but I think I speak for a lot of folks when I say it's greatly appreciated!

And, of course, I'd be lying if I didn't say I look forward to more footage. ;-)

[mainedawg420]

nice job

first time i've seen the backhand roller on purpose

[jaylewisstl]

geoff was throwing a Talon there. definitely more of a controlled drive than pure D. i look forward to a time when i can complain about ONLY throwing 400'.

[bigmrmike1]

very nice video and a great shot at the forehand roller, backhand roller and backhand....... the only problem is geoffs shot was not one of his better ones, his discripion on his pulse is 475-620 ft, and from what it looks he threw a hyzer and only around 400 ft, i kno i would love to see him airing out his pulse beacause i myself and a sidearm thrower, the pulse is to much disc for me though i throw a chapion valc. around 350-400ft

[Flashblastx]

cool video, geoff is one of my favorite players

[thegrahammer]

this is such a good idea.

thanks so much for doing this!

[jaylewisstl]

yeah, it was shot in 60fps, but between slowing it to 5-10% and compressing for youtube, impossible not to lose a little quality. - Jay

[TheFurnace69]

[coffeeman123]
