"Disc Golf" - Drive Analysis 3

[barnchips]

I can't seem to break the 300 to 350 foot range and I'm out of ideas I made a slow motion of me doing it if u go to my page its the "brian couple of fun days in slow motion disc golf " video if u could watch that and tell me what i could improve on would be great thanks

[1MUTANT1]

I have a 300' stand still throw, and I am now working on my run up to increase my distance. Great video to learn from. Thanks, now if only i could push 400' that would be great.

@bukkakeSniper that second guy happends to be a 2 time world champion and united states disc golf champion. Pay

Attention to Barry!

[kgstandridge]

i just got a champion boss.. it moves very quickly through the air... after throwing a star valkyrie.. the boss has a very high tendancy to turn left hard. any suggestions to fix this?

[azbeets]

@kgstandridge A star or pro wraith is a great driver with stability inbetween the valkyrie and the boss, not as many people throw the boss for maximum distance because it has such high stability and requires alot of power, if the wraith isn't enough to contain your arm, try a destroyer!

[AmAyznAzn]

those freeze frames are worthless...

[BukkakeSniper]

Looks like the 3rd guy put some hyzer on that throw

I just noticed that they all pivot on the heel of their leading foot. I have been pivoting on my toes. Today I am going to make that quick change and see what happens.

[jdthumpr220]

@rasd1d2

Ya, it seems like on the heel might keep the disc straighter and possibly give you a better spinning axis, keep us updated. :)

my dad has known Barry since Barry was 14 and just started you should have sean how happy mad dad was when he saw Barry's first pro disc

[amazingukrainian]

Its all about snap...I've seen guys in the park that this video was made park it at almost 500 ft with a one step drive that was all snap...If you can keep it smooth and master the "hit" then you'll be able to throw far...But I recommend getting to a point where 30-45 putts are damn near automatic, before you really concentrate on driving.

[ddbleak]

@amazingukrainian you're absolutely right man.. I think you should get a decent drive down either way asap.. but 1. snap is everything. I do one step drives (I throw forehand) and with a disc that has a long fade or late fade I just lay it flat, snap the hell out of it and watch it fly. 2. putting IS the most important.. long putts and lay ups. You can drive to 30 feet away every hole but if youre missing your deuces, whats the point?

[dscjnky]

Did Barry like or dislike his drive? It would have been good to know that the shots we were watching were good. I'm sure they were; but, what if one of those throws was a shankjob... we would be watching this video and trying to emulate a something that was poor.

[osw330904]

their release and form would still be the same but the flight might not go so well bc of the wind or other factors...

[merossful]

If anyone ever gets the opportunity to set up a camera looking straight down on the tee pad from above it would provide an angle that would be very helpful, and in my views of pro demos...unprecedented.

[brendanb1236]

well smooth is far.....

[championdger]

They're not even throwing it that hard, if I threw like they do, I would probably get only 300" on my drive. I throw it like twice as hard to get it 425".

[brendanb1236]

its not about the arm as you may think. you arm should be doing what your hips are telling it to do. and u really need a great follow through. Maybe u might wanna watch the newest discraft clinic video. its bout getting more distance, then if u add the arm into a throw using a ton of your legs, then imagine ur 425 maybe you'll be getting 500. but remember smooth is far. dont need to add shit that causes drag

[DannyE5]

Well, he's been doing it for 10 plus years and also is pretty tall and lanky...

[atlswift]

He steps off the tee box

[solemngreavance]

they all do

[shake916]

as long as you release the disc before stepping off the box it doesnt matter. I do the same thing, you have to get so much momentum on a long throw like that, itd be really hard not to come off the box throwing it that hard.

[brendanb1236]

its called a follow thru...

[schmt1]

You post some great videos for dissecting the way the pros throw. It is interesting to see how much bend they get in their elbows in freeze frame. You could never tell it at full speed. Please keep posting more videos of the pros, they are a great help!

[bigblackpooch]

wow, these guys make it look so easy. Thanks for posting, nice video work

[lorenzomuzik]

Barry Schultz is the man.

Thanks for posting.

I have some work to do on my backhand.

[camitche82]

This is very well done video. I enjoy all your video posts. Well done.

I think Barry's drive is unreal. The movement and balance in that drive is perfect.

[Niven42]

Justin makes it look so freakin' easy. He's a real joy to watch.

[unclemercy]

i bey barry's reaction sounds ridiculous at 20%... wanna forward the file?

[faustobass]

Thank you for posting this, very interesting to see these throws broken down like this.

[CpJ123]

great video! this kind of thing is really great for learning disc golf technique.

[jaylewisstl]

I can't get the freezeframes clean on youtube like they are in full-resolution, but you get the idea.

[Adam1234510]

@jaylewisstl  yay interlaced Video!!! haha
