You guys are idiots. Clearly his whole "pendulum" thing was incorporated only in his reachback. After that he chops the elbow just like every other guy out there that knows what he's talking about. Shut up and talk smack when YOU'RE a pro/instructor/professor who is successful enough to make disc golf your JOB.

Great video, as an older Disc Golfer that has been playing 25+ years I was losing distance & power with my old throw. Changing my throw to incorporate your mechanics has helped me get back to a longer throw. Thanks.
For the pendulum critics. Pay attention to the video he uses the pendulum to drop the disc backwards and to pull the disc through your chest.

@awine44 Because the pendulum idea will never get you far, while the ellbow idea is the right way to generate snap.

@saemj why is one guy's tip on youtube worse then another guy's tip?

Sorry, but the pendulum bit is terrible advice. The most important part of the drive is pushing the elbow forward adn NOT keep your arm straight like a pendulum.
Look at the "driving with Dan Beto" vid for example.
