How to Play Disc Golf : The X-Step & the Right Backhand Throw in Disc Golf

[thetaxi500]

Some people write some nast shit cause its the internet. None of you have the balls to say it to his face. Could b a war vet? Or bad accident? How do you know. Props to him

[7poppasmurf7]

Nice watch, it must have cost a limb. lol

on a serious note, to all the guys saying "wine wine, he shouldn't have to put up with shit, wah.", here: /watch?v=OIBS6LeXnT4 . this is how disabilities should be dealt with.

[crazyfool416]

thanks man!



[xZEUSERS]

Cool, Thanks for the knowledge. I'm just starting out, and am looking forward to my first day of disc golf. Looks like it can be an addicting sport!

[floofytown]

Ok, first of all the dude's name is Kitten. Mroww. Fair enough. BUT THEN HE HAS ONE LEG. Fucking PIRATE KITTEN! I call dibs on him when we're getting assigned playing partners. The guy is the Chuck-ass Norris of disc golf and I want him on MY team!

[IvegotYou21]

whoever laughs at a fake leg is an asshole and deserves to get their shit broken off and laughed at. stop judging god damn

[uMMYahhHXp]

this guy is a cool cat played a little with in amarillo

[floofytown]

@uMMYahhHXp More like.. kool Kitten. AMIRITE?? lolz

[bolognagay]

i hope the fucker talking about dude leg loses a leg

[SheikhAltijdGezeikhh]

this is realy cool to watch, maybe its something for the paralympics to add to the games (i bet many people with prosthetic limbs would like to give this a try)

[turbomiata007]

thanks for the tip...disc golf is awsome!!!



[1337DiscGolf]

You know, I wear a below knee prosthetic on my right leg. No one on my course has ever had anything to say about. I'm a casual weekend player, I hold 3 course records and I've only played 6 courses. Kind of sad all of you who have two legs who like to point and laugh can't keep up with the "handicapped". Keep trying, see you on the course!

[dazmaster22]

@1337DiscGolf good for you, these people need to learn that just because you have a prosthetic doesnt mean that you cant be great at somthing. keep it up.

[ouch4899]

nothin better then lightin up a joker and tossin the disc

[pensiontransfer]

thanks for the uploads - I love your taste

[elim12345]

Love this video. Like the way he repeats the steps so maybe even I can get it. I hate to say it, but his artificial leg helps me follow the leg movements. I have been trying some more complicated throws (i.e. 360 turn around, backwards) and forgot about the fundamentals. I got to get the X step down perfect before I think about anything else.

[McThugger]

listen for the chains. fucking fag.

[thinc4444]

I really dislike all the advertisements stalling the video

[larrycansler]

Well, if you call yourself 'someCOCKSUCKER' you really can't call someone else 'immature'. Simple as that. Grow up and get a big boy name.

[boredincnwitd]

really? disc golf? i didn't even know this existed. and gooooood....it's so incredibly booooring!

[jlozow]

Great form, nice speech and demo!!!!!

[outlawtorn1334]

How is this guy supposed to help those with two "regular," healthy, and fully functional legs?

[tawras]

@outlawtorn1334 You're a fucking retard, and obviously don't know shit about discgolf.

[outlawtorn1334]

@tawras, Can retards throw 400 ft drives? I think not. I'm trying to drive 500 ft, but videos like this are NOT helping. I need someone who has two good legs to get me that extra 100 ft.

[tawras]

@outlawtorn1334 How do you know that retards cannot throw 400ft drives? You play with all of your extended family on a usual basis, eh?

[outlawtorn1334]

So now your insulting retards by implying my family is retarded? I knew you had a dark side, Tawras. It seems that I have a problem with cripples and you have a problem with retards. Welcome home.

[tawras]

@outlawtorn1334 Well played sirs, well played.

[createmeCreator]

Alot of videos about dg are usually people boasting of thier previous experiences and how much "better" they are than the average joe. I really appreciate ya'll keeping it simple and helping me fine tune my game. Best videos on the web! Thanks!

[Stubbynator]

Amazing form. This is a great tutorial.

[s1adjan]

dude!!!!!!!!!

[smalcome]

if the village were really filled with experts, don't you think they could not fill up 3/4 of the screen with a script?

[CyanCar]

if that fake leg had skin nobody would even know it was fake

[2nuget]

very helpful thank you

[trextoter]

The trolls aren't putting him down because of his leg. They're putting him down because they are trolls.

[yamaxer]

He can probably kick your ass you insensitive fuck.

[skaterfiu]

Pirates don't dead.. u noobs..-.-

[Locusthorde300]

It doesnt seem like he has a fake leg... as in he "uses" it like an actual leg o_o

PROPS to this guy :D

[pbrbdem]

i cant see the video because i cant get the damn interactive transcript to go away,.

[MylesMonigold]

Damn, expertvillage makes hookah video's, and disk golf video's? 2 things I'm in to, Time to subscribe.

[220friend]

i mean this technique makes perfect sense..it's like a regualr golf swing, it's not just about the arms or the shoulders..there is exponentially more power available if you can use your whole body like this guy is saying,

[Shouldofstayedinbed]

he lost his leg disc golfing

[DrLoonatic]

After watching this video and practicing the "X-Step", I encountered same-day improvement. I'd just like to say thanks for the video. With some practice I'll be trumping all my friends.

[Mcdaddypball]

i just started up playing disc golf and i was wondering what distance drivers are the best for starting out..... i went and bought an innova groove just cuz it looked sweet but on one of the web sites it said it wasnt verry beginner friendly should i take it back before i bust it up? what do you think?

[jerosmith1983]

@Mcdaddypball my first driver was an archangel by innova. other discs that are good for beginners are an eagle, dragon, leopard, and i started using a valkyrie early on.

[Velociraptoro]

good video, everyone is always talking about the "X-step," but i didn't know what it entailed exactly till i watched this, so thanks

[rotchmike30]

i took quite a bit out of this video.i usually throw forehand and have recently started trying to improve my backhand.oh yea.disc golf is not the sport to be discriminative in.i would throw with that guy if he had no legs and i had to push him around the course . i played in a tournament yesterday where some of the best players were deaf. c mon guys disc golfing is about having fun not being a jerk off to people who may be slightly different! thanks for posting this video man!

[Froggies505]

lol done that before.

[sycokid666]

i have always known it to be the x step not

"crow hop" , huh i bet my x step can throw farther than your crow hop!!

[professor33036]

You Tube search line: flying plastic the movie. Finally a disc golf movie worth watching.

[hvnboi]

omg that guy cheats he has a robotic leg =\

[gprucha]

this is funny ive ben trying to telll my friends that that little step give you a little more ummf but they dont bleave me lol

[GameboyPocket]

I really like that guy's shoes.

[CalumD1993]

It's a robot!

[mrmoo42]

i love it... a video tutorial on a step pattern that is taught by a guy with 1 leg. irony?

[Intepacazule]

yea kinda funny xD

[ILoveYuMaryJane]

it is called a crow hop expert village, dumb-asses

[t3hsniper]

It is in fact called an X step. Ask a pro, sure it could be called a crow hop where you are, but most will call it an x step.

[Testament31904]

It's actually excellent advice for beginners. Quit getting your thrills from his handicap, he isn't letting it keep him from enjoying some of life's finer things.

[t3hsniper]

I wouldn't totally agree with that. It's not good to add so much to a drive, a beginner should just leave it simple so they may work on less problems with their form and slowly add to it. I started two or so months ago and have quickly increased my skill but still leave my backhand at one or two steps.

[zzrezz]

....was looking for Xstep... DWI simfile maker for stepmania....

not disc golf >_>

[youbus]

accidently came here searching for DnB x-step .. I agrea with the last post.

[dccgofuckyourself]

lol, me too! They shouldn't have this vid as the first for related videos!

[emericaskate8325]

Who honestly makes fun of this guy because of his leg? As far as I can see, he looks like hes being quite productive and doesnt let this weigh him down. Props to him.

[ryouba]

Idiots who can't make thoughtful criticism, so they just make fun of what they can see...Just like four year olds!

No offense, four year olds...

[headz51230]

@emericaskate8325 And furthermore I would challenge all people in the fact that almost everyone has some type of physical deformity..If you don't yet you almost surely will someday.

[BrandynFerShizzle]

@emericaskate8325 I think its pretty awesome. He looks like there is some pretty good snap to his drives. I would love to play with this guy.

[MrManne21]

Thanks for this video :D

[GROZ000]

rofl kinder kinder kinder

[bubbaboi25]

god this guy sounds like a dumb ass haha

[Niven42]

If you're just starting out, you owe it to yourself to check out Dan Beato's vid on driving technique. It will turn your crappy noob drives into awesome goodness.

[H3L1x72]

There's a guy here in Boise with a pro leg, looks like that, and he can throw 400'. I like this guy's vids, but he sounds like Dale Gribble 8)

[flipkickhaha]

i think he sounds like jr from reno 911

its awesome!

[xthaxheistx]

man the leg looks cool i want that too...

[PizzaToTheDome]

Look at his right leg. LOL!

[blkshp725]

Isn't that the cop from Reno 911?

[texaschaz]

I was thinking that too, but this guy has an artificial leg, and the cop in Reno 911 is always wearing those really short shorts. So I doubt it is him. haha

[beefcurton]

wrong, thats normal run up, X step is how david feldberg throws for super long ass drives

[phyrerunner]

that guy is wearing one of the best made and most exspensive pros. legs you can get. Look at the way it moves JUST LIKE A REAL LEG. I give it up to anyone who suffers a serious injury and dosent give up!

[hardcorextreme]

i wonder how good he really is...

[brandonflav]

That was now very cool ARSENALADD and it's not ultimate frisbee, it's frisbee golf. Jackass

[pmg5028]

its called disc golf. jackass.

[brandonflav]

Actions, activities, and objects can have more than one name/alias. Jackass.

[Ergock]

fake leg is an advantage! j/k

[FAnchax]

ANOTHER LEG JOKE! jk...good tutorial...terminator...JK!

[someCOCKSUCKER]

your all gonna burn in hell, i hope you go blind, people like us with prosthetic limbs get enough crap. But at least we still manage to live normal lives, unlike you immature people who really have to have your fun by looking and laughing at us.

[Pokemonsasho]

@someCOCKSUCKER Youre gonna burn in hell because u hope we go blind you stupid ass terminator.

Its so funny the cameraman shoots his legs cuz they are lololol :D

Stupid tincan.Expert village can only hire these guys cuz they are low on budjet.

So stupid cocksucker ass dont say your opnion!

[scv405]

@Pokemonsasho You're a douche.

[dmbdmb4134]

@someCOCKSUCKER Haha you are saying all of this and you name is Cocksucker? lolololololol faggot



[duKfouR]

TERMINATOR !!! (ahhahahhah)

[ultraflightin]

ballmusk, your a queer

[Ballmusk]

notice how he refers to his left leg a few times but never the right one...

[greinead]

terminator...

[niginit]

ahh one legged man!

[0xZystx0]

he only has one leg oh my god o.O

[xxXBlackSunXxx]

All of these steps combined are known as a "whip." You get more power and distance out of a throw when it comes from a whip rather than just forcing your arm to throw it. Shoulder and hip rotation are very important. Also do not forget when throwing to follow all the way through. Let your leg swing freely around when finishing the throw. If you put your leg out and stop your self while you are coming around you can injure your self.

[dyenamic1]

A single x-step really is all you need for max distance with accuracy. Some people use the the double like Brad Hammock, but he is an exception and not exactly the longest thrower in the world either. Most pros who can throw 500+ ft. golf shots use a single x-step. For max distance without accuracy, forget the x-step; learn the 360.

[smoke62]

A double X-Step is not going to add 100ft to your drive. A single is more then enough to get distance. In all reality it all boils down to form, release and snap.

[metlhed83]

been using that throw technique for almost five years, try adding another x-step into it. you put another 100 feet onto your throw.

[thorCUipwn]

thats what i do when i threw my disk, but i lock my elbow (more speed), i can though about 380, good job tho, playing with your leg too, good for you, repusenting RIVER BENDS MI

[Garybuseyfanclub]

huh...... that guy only had 1 leg.....right on

[burni8r]

no kidding

[gorion79]

sweet i just started playin disc golf it's fun

[VinnyC420]

for sure
