The apices of most of David’s throws are closer to the first third of the flight, depending on amount of flip to ani.

On a side note, Josh and I routinely talk about all things disc golf. He is very willing to listen and share. But that being said IMO all three of those questions are off base and aren’t really anyone’s business.

Nick, don’t feel bad, David is mega coordinated and has been doing the 360° since he was 9. He saw someone do it, self organized, and voila’ a 15mph flying 360°.

Coaching and form work are different ends of a wide spectrum. It is nearly impossible to teach general coordination but getting good results for those unfortunate souls can be achieved if they have a good work ethic. If they expect you to solve both issues no amount of brute force can help. When...

Great idea. I’m sure it will be very rewarding. 11-12 year olds are the perfect age to coach. Please keep us informed on how it goes. Make it fun, play made up games, get some frisbees so they can play catch. 💪

Eric, will you run another drag computation on a disc with a +4° nose angle? I’m curious to see drag is increased with more of the bottom flight plate exposed. Thanks

The ‘turning the key’ if done excessively is similar to ‘flipping the disc’ in the amount of supination. Have to ‘flip’ or ‘turn’ the forearm quickly is directly related to the angle you pull the disc into the power pocket. GG hangs it like a briefcase and needs to have a large range of...

To throw nose down with pronation, switch to an “overhand wrist flip” (chicken wing). On a normal backhand, pronation leads to some beautiful air bounces. :)

Well said. Having coached multiple sports for a few decades, I know that keeping an open mind to cues is very important even if my bias thinks the underlying mechanics might be wrong. The art of coaching is being able to turn my words into their feels. It becomes increasingly more difficult as...

IMO, the term “arming” is used to describe too many varied motions. With proper deep pocket timing, there is much less inertia on the arm and body and the arm movement can feel almost weightless. The load (or feel of “arming”) on the system happens when the elbow begins extending early due to...

I’m the last person to “steal” anything because IMO, disc form ideas are not mine to own, covet or steal. My interest in biomechanics has always been just no agenda? to try to find ways to help improve all players, not some secret recipe for me to “dish” out privately. I help all kids for free...

If you have any real questions or need advice, please feel free to email me at coachchristaylor at gmail. I’d be glad to help.

I’m too old but still enjoying life to want or need any shroud of mystery. I just try to spend my time helping anyone who asks for my help.

I have all the slomo and will put them together soon.

including all shots made the video 2 hours plus and watching discs nose dive OB took too much time. I tried my best to get less announcer more players but it went on deaf ears.
