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

[Evrabeet]

@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.

[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.....

[movingtracks]

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'.

wow you a douche bag.

... and by the way you suck at guitar

[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

[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!

[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...

[AnimixLA]

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

[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
