this guy is an asshole. "if you flick it, its gonna go right" wrong. it goes left and then goes right and it all depends on the disc, fade and curve. ever disc is different. I have a disc that you throw right, on a curve and still goes far as hell right

[SoVertiginous]

expertvillage = crap disc golf videos. If you go out to a disc golf course and start repeating things you've heard on these videos, people are going to be quick to correct you. I just happen to grip it like this guy. But most people grip their "flick" with two fingers close together, or just one finger. And your disc can fade left OR right depending on if you throw a "heizer" (fades right) or "anheizer" (fades left). If you throw left-handed the labels are reversed. "expert"village my ass.....

@SoVertiginous I can only agree to what you are stating, I was shaking my head off even though I am no expert. I am only in it for the fun and socializing. That said, I'm a perfectionist, and it hurts to listen to amateurs stepping into expert shoes...

Practice, and look at what others are doing, and try to repeat them techniques, my best advice.

No one I know who throws a flick throws this way. Either one or two fingers on the rim of the disk. Also most people including pros I've seen dig back to really throw it. It's good for beginners in particular as the backhand throw takes time to grasp. A friend of mine throws all flick: z flick for driver, (discraft) quantum QMS? flick for mid range and normal for putts. Myself when I do it I throw a boss for flicks over 300'.

[jaredcrobinson]

Sound, memory, visualization? What is he talking about? This guy's videos are very funny.

[mugrootbeer17]

lookong at the.... the....the Cage...... dumarss who calls it a cage

[ericson1887]

it works better if you just use your index finger on the enter rim because you can "flick" your wrist and get a lot more distance

[jtc3895]

it pisses me off how the guy is trying to help you and you say how bad he is...

he did a fine job!!!

[whonotmeyou]

more like doushe village.

ZINGER.

[Jesterian]

Has anyone noticed that it says he's been playing for 10 years? How can you be this bad after 10 years?

[knyqjee12]

I meant to mention that this video sucks as well because he fails to mention that there are like 5 ways to hold the disc, it won't always curve right (ever heard of an anhyzer?) and his sound effects suck. Don't watch!

[nickmorganmusic]

wow you a douche bag.

... and by the way you suck at guitar

[knyqjee12]

This guy blows huge time. No one calls it the flick! An no it is not more of an athletic throw..... it uses less power than the backhand moron...

[hoosfan77]

I call it the flick...

[ShawnoftheDead420]

stay out of oak grove pussy! you dont know what your doing!

[sometimehuh]

this guy is a racist

[chstephe]

is this serious?

[longsmellyride]

I don't mean to be rude, but where the heck did the disc go? Do you guys really see the disc after he is done grabbing on it? :D I am no expert!

[ferrarif40]

"sound memory visualization technique...." I love when people run their mouth in an attempt to sound intelligent

[magnusornjohannsson]

what?? dude you should not be giving "pointers" if you dont know how to throw...come on my 7 year old throws further ...for real dont listen to this guy just go throw...thats the only way to get better!!

[austeena17]

where the shit are you playing?

the box is huge

[AnimixLA]

That's the 10th Teepad at Oak Grove Disc Golf Course in Pasadena, CA . The first permanent course, which went in in 1975.

[austeena17]

i used to throw forehand dominant until i realized its a must to "DIVERSIFY" the throws in your bag if you wanna be a well balanced player. but the forehand throw is NOT a more "athletic" throw in any way. for most people it takes much less skill and form to throw further with a forehand. and your V finger grip minimizes distance,

and whenever i used to get a snap off my two fing it would usually result in a shank because of a bad release.

[Medium0Rare]

this video was pretty bad.... really bad actually

[notkick]

You really have to get better before you make videos............ Rookies can't help other Rookies, oh and your village is filled with anything but experts.

[derekshortway]

Its not called a flick. over here in NJ we call it the finger bang...we do everything better in jersey.

[widegap]

Ok I give up what is a flick?!!!!I thought that was a disc by discraft!! I have been on a million website and i have yet to find anyone call a fore arn the flick!! I guess it is kinda like you flick the disc in the cage!!!LOL

[kevlar692]

The flick IS the name for the forearm throw. At least thats what its called in ultimate frisbee.

[expertvillageblows]

your mom is athletic

[expertvillageblows]

i make that sound when i jackoff

[jdiscs]

Goobers please don't give lessons! Nice V pattern Dink you get great "snap" with that grip?

[mzuleger]

what a tool

[gydigh]

Expert Village? More like Expert Village idiot!

[WiredLogik]

In case you are watching this video in "learning mode", stop. Also, making sound effects as this guy suggests will get you punched.

[gravyboat17]

Expert village needs to get real discgolfers to give advice

[4n0m41y]

this guy is a total douche bag i can shoot 10 times better than him :)

[DannyE5]
