[apeirce20]

@shadowofdarkness555 Didn't you know the pull of gravity changes depending on how objects are oriented?!

[vivithemage64]

glad to see ia m not hte only who holds the flick that way :).

[aaronmyers1982]

They made a sport outta frisby throwin? Really?

[gamemeister27]

@aaronmyers1982 Well there is more than one sport and this one has been around forever. I used to see these baskets in parks when I was a little kid and wondered what they were for.

[Soulless99]

@aaronmyers1982

Its been around a really long time, even people not the least interested knows about it...

And this is a REAL sport, not like ordinary golf thats for pruns...

[XxZmasterxX]

@aaronmyers1982 they made a sport out of throwing a ball too and kicking one.

[gamemeister27]

@XxZmasterxX I know, people always bag on less popular sports saying things like that. Then you point out that the sports they enjoy are the exact same and they can only pout.

[MrConsarnit]

Less gravity? Is he on a different planet?

[skaterspwn]

@MrConsarnit

 know what he meant. punk

[pepperpong7074]

6:10 is sweet

[MATTx602]

Thats fountain hills! My favorite course to play except I usually lose at least one disc every time

[NYtoPDX]

I love all of these discraft videos and have watched them all many times. But why does he say not to roll your wrist over on your sidearm follow through even though he seems to on every throw. Kinda confusing.

[BigJermDG]

@NYtoPDX I do roll my wrist, but it is a slight roll and not until after the disc is completely out of my grip. The timing of the roll and the angle of release will vary depending on the stability of the disc. This can be a confusing concept for anyone who is trying to learn the forehand because one of the things you try to teach beginners is to eliminate as much of the roll over as possible. I agree that this should have been included in the video somewhere. Thanks!

[NYtoPDX]

@BigJermDG Hey thanks so much for the response big Jerm. Somehow i missed you response until just now. I see what you mean, its more like you turn your wrist over just for a smooth follow through after release. Sadly I am hopeless at sidearm but maybe that will help. I really just need to get out and force myself to work on sidearm in a field. I would love to have a decent sidearm for certain holes. Cheers man

[ShamalAmadiNgdongEsq]

One of the best instructional videos out there. Interesting variation on the power grip for the backhand.

New players: finding the (power) grip that works for you is one of the best ways to gain distance and ultimately improve your game. Ask your local pro for pointers on the power grip or search 'disc golf power grip.'

When adopting a new grip, driving practice is very important. Practice will help with the "feel" of the grip, the proper release point, and with muscle memory.

[WilkesDiscGolf]

Awesome vid, Big Jerm! Proud to call you a founding member of our club. 

[thuntdanno]

Another helpful disc golf video!! Keep them comming!!!

[nomoresignupsplease]

Am I the only one who thinks he talks like Dr. Steve Brule?

"If you've got a low ceiling, just go over top of it dummy!"

For your health.

[ultimateklay]

@nomoresignupsplease

Nope. You're not the only one. Good call.

[pappyjames123]

The building is Thelma C. Raley Hall at Appalachian State University.

[cricket3]

haha that shot off the building was sick

[AnimeA82]

Now that was informative. :) Just the technique video I wanted. Maybe my skills can be better now. (Goes out to practice).

[djaks2761]

honestly i cant stand for most disccraft discs but i love the nuke, i drive consistent 400s with it, witch is more than i can say with almost any other disc Ive thrown.

[sinnoh2014]

underhand or roller that has gotten me lots of birdies

[sportdisc]

Be sure to watch to the very end for a wicked cool trick shot from Jerm!

[McCreathBen]

[insulatedmemory]
