Max grip pressure test results: unremarkable conclusion: I already grip hard enough normally to where gripping with max pressure doesn't help but I suspect it could help for some people who are overly loose. I also briefly tested (not on vid) an initially loose grip and separately my usual...

Btw, to clarify a comment in the vid where I said I think nose up putting is a misnomer. An example of an upwards floating putt would be like ~7 deg nose down but ~20 deg launch angle. It's much more about the launch angle increasing I think much of the time to a point where enough of the...

There's a challenge for you and seabass next time you crack open a cold one with the boys 🤣 It would be interesting to get some other speed putting stats since they are so rare, I've never seen any putting speed stats at all, so I don't have any reference point other than to my own comfortable...

Comparing my max putt speed and spin between two different styles (putting with tech disc driver): Bonus points if you guess the pro player that AI based the thumbnail off of, lol.

He can boulder like v12 or v13 which is pro level. He has done a like insanely tall v10 boulder with tiny crimps.. lol. When you see the closeup of the foot and handholds it's like "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?", lol. It's so interesting to see here at close to limit climbing how common full and closed...

@HyzerRoc alex honnolds hands have become super thicc

Actually, I think your finger curl is not that much more flexion in the dip joint but is more flexion in the other joints to create more overall curl. I tried the finger curl on a course and was hitting my lines and it looked to be flying well, but I'm usually not going for absolute max power...

Two things are different with your flexion. 1. You simply use a lot more flexion, I don't curl as far as possible because it starts to make out the pressure more directly into the bones of your finger tips. Nick krush literary injured his finger bone from this by gripping so hard since he throws...

Also @HyzerRoc , I haven't seen it demonstrated clearly enough how to switch between nose down or nose up (video showing the manipulation clearly) with this technique you described for me to test it with the tech disc. I suspect the more meaningful change that is happening is actually disc...

The nose down difference here is much more a function of how consistent I am at turning the key during a set of throws. I retested this but with max power and this time the curled (DIP joint flexion) was more nose down (-3.4 vs -1.5), but it was just because I focused a bit more on turning the...

Great read. I need to try the slower start / delayed acceleration more deliberately. Lately, I've been oscillating between perfect pop and releases with no wobble and then some where I'm clearly trying to hard to get that release and getting some less clean releases with wobble. This is with a...

For me and my normal grip I feel a consistent thumb pressure pinch point that is pretty equal to the effort my index and middle finger are gripping with through the swing at my max speeds. But when I switch to the F1P-3 alignment the thumb naturally moves quite a bit in front of the index...

Noticed Gavin Rathbun seems to use the F1P-3 grip alignment. In the first pic you can see the disc resting pinky-side of the palm. Also, that thumb position usually results from this alignment. What's interesting though is when I grip it hard in this alignment, it bends the disc between the...

I like the banter and fooling around, so I'm not complaining about that @Jaani I only don't like that they, as pros, and commentators are really confusing with the already difficult to pick up terminology surprisingly often. Sometimes they get serious with it and correct each other and other...
