@ovationz71 @IanDiscGolf I too began experimenting with a Robbie Bratten grip and no sooner done then I was throwing 50-75 ft further and I could actually work some of my more overstable drivers and get them to flex like they're supposed to. I would say it's definitely worth a try to anyone.

@McCreathBen

That's usually when you're throwing a disc in the opposite direction of its normal flight path. If you throw a pretty stable disc with a little bit of anhyzer, the disc will naturally helix from right to left. This adds more distance to drives and can be useful when going around trees.

I'm still fork grip all the way. Used to grip like the last guy did. When I switched it was an amazing difference, started to feel the disc snap/tear out of my hand more often. Also seemed to improve accuracy somewhat, though I don't feel that snap as often anymore(may be because I don't power it as much as I probably did then). I do hope one day to be able to midrange most holes on my local course like some can, though I can do decent on some of the pro tees.

@IanDiscGolfMTBrider thats cuz your distance increase over time!

@ovationz71 The first time watched this was about 1yr ago about 3 months after starting to play disc golf and I thought Robbie`s grip was ridiculous,I went from 4 to 3 to my recent 2 finger grip and DISTANCE increased with the less fingers,by the way I play almost everyday so I have allot of time to experiment with grip,that`s about to change though, also love sidearm and turboputting!!!

@MetalChefST Venom!!!

-I assure discraft currently makes disc's that sold a hell of alot less then the Venom, And knowing it is impossible to find an ESP online, if they made more they will be bought. Side Arm people.. Sidearm, Its MINT and cannot be top'd in my bad

BRING THE VENOM BACK!

-ESP all the way

Ok fellas, I have been playing for 12 years and the most reliable part of my game is my drives. I throw with a 4 finger power grip. and on a good throw can get a disc between 425 and 450. I saw Robbie Bratten's "two finger" grip and thought "What the heck? I'll give it a shot" My first throw was significantly longer. I was throwing 475 with only changing my grip. I am not saying it will work for you, but my throws are are getting much more snap with far less effort. Give it a go!
