400 ft? The distance of a baseball field? No way

@xNLGxlegendz It's a lot like throwing a baseball.. A baseball's velocity and movement has a ton to do with wrist snap.

@rrndom Its commonly referred to as tennis elbow, usually affiliated with tendonitis in the elbow. Look up some stretching exercises so your not over extending those tendons.

i only put one finger under the disc. i get alot more distance like that . i can probley throw about 425 ft. with my side arm. im jus now figuring my backhand out. only been playing for a year now but disc golf is my life. it probley has saved my life cause the road i was on was a bad one but now i have the greatest game to turn to. oh yeah discraft has the best disc ever

@rrndom Most likely you are not stretching properly before you start throwing and / or you are throwing too hard. I learned that even if I take 20% off from full power it won't affect the distance.

Your throwing technique might also be "wrong" in a sense it causes too much stress to your arm.

Everytime i am playing, my right (throwing) arm starts to hurt at the bend of the arm and the biceps. Mostly because of my forehand drives. So, might anyone have some tips or know what i'm doing wrong?

Not like throwing a baseball at all you don't flick your wriest when you throw a baseball
