    Grip Strength Question

    Rowing - Thanks for that explanation. It helps point me in the right direction. I've seen a lot of tutorials on how to grip (power, fan etc.) and that it is supposed to rip out as well as about whipping the arm and staying loose. Trying to put things together to improve my...

    Grip Strength Question

    I am wondering how hard people grip the disc through the throwing motion. Do you grip it the same all the way through or do you tighten as you get to the hit/release. I'm asking because when I try to stay lose and whip my arm typically the disc comes out very early because I am also relaxing...

    Throwing ~300ft

    Thanks for the help so far. It made me realize just how much I need to work on. Based on the feedback I decided to start with 3 things. 1. Not leaning back in my reach back 2. Smaller step 3. Turning my hips with reach back These are all putters low to mid 200's some better than others...

    Throwing ~300ft

    My distance has been improving over this season and I am able to throw around 300' most of the time. Throws in this video were 280-330 per uDisc. _rac2vUU6kM I know I've got things to improve on. Let me know what you see and any drills that may help. Thanks!

    Beginner: much help needed

    Thanks for all the help. Spent quite a bit of time working on things. I'm definitely throwing farther hitting 300+ on occasion with my fairways/drivers and 270 with my mids. Here is an updated video. NE8VcgpWobQ Looks pretty similar to the past to me, but something changed. Let me know...

    Still working on things. Tried standing should width apart but kept stepping wide and hopping on my plant. Switched to 1 leg drill and concentrating on swing forward to stay loose and starting forward motion with my hips. Getting my mids out to 250' on average with this. IejweawqE1A...

    Beginner: much help needed

    Well I haven't given up. I am slowly getting better distance and can see some of the issues myself, but thought it was time to ask for some advice and pointers on drills as I'm not sure how to fix them. Biggest thing to me seems to be my shoulders and lack of follow through with my arm. Any...

    Beginner: much help needed

    Thanks for the reply. Can definitely see most of the issues you are pointing out. Not sure about this. Do you mean my elbow is too low? A little confused on the hugging as well. I can see it in the reach back for sure. When the disc comes in to the power pocket should it touch/be very...

    Beginner: much help needed

    Still working at it and getting better. Throwing putters up to 225' usually in the 175-200'. Mids 200'+. I also have lots of consistency issues throwing a bunch straight, then pulling left/right. Back 1 mostly straight and 2 mostly left/right for comparison. In the videos most of the throws...

    Beginner: much help needed

    Thank you slowplastic and sidewinder22! I've seen most/all the videos posted before but wasn't really able to apply them to my faults. I see how I misunderstood the purpose/application of the step. I appreciate you taking the time to view and comment. Will work on these items and report back...

    Beginner: much help needed

    Linked are 2 videos side and front of my current 'form'. I started playing/practicing last fall. I live in Michigan so chances have been fairly limited over the winter. My current max throw would be around 220' (Leopard) with most being 150'-180' throwing putters and mids. Just looking to...

    Chainstar Lite — releasing late 2017

    I have a Chainstar Lite that I received for Christmas (bought it for myself with the free misprint putter pack). I am a newbie and this is my first basket so I don't have another portable to compare it to. Basic design/assembly seems to be the same as the MVP/Axiom basket. The base does have...
