ill be sure to see what i do when i toss sidearm next - it's certainly a more deliberate "windup" / throw than say tossing a baseball sidearm. i usually just take a few steps - but i really havent tried any sort of aggressive run up. im used to baseball where you only take a step or two before you throw sidearm or overhand. Is there an "x step" type move for forehands out there?
- The music reminds me of a 70's porn. Not that I have ever seen a 70's porn
- I still can't believe Mark Ellis is the guy who teaches all this stuff.
This season I have accumulated many discs I won't be using anytime soon while I try and a find a disc that works for my very small girlfriend with a weak forehand. So far we have found the Archangel and the Roadrunner to be her best drivers. She can get the Buzz almost as far and her aim with a U2-Prostyle is deadly at best. What I am looking for is a disc that can help her throw farther. 150' - 200' is her current maximum range.
Some suggestions on technique would be welcome as well. My forehand is terrible and I have no good advice for her, even after reading articles and watching videos. She gave up the hop on her approach which has helped and tries to stay focused on the scoop/flick.

I put forehands out ~400' with decent consistency, .
For you guys that throw them out there pretty far. What is the distance compared with your backhand shot? How about accuracy compared to the backhand?

Yesterday I went to a local course that is incredibly overgrown and tough even on short holes. The forehand/backhand option got me several birdies and many pars where I had only bogeyed previously! I also experimented with throwing my sidewinders FH with a bit of hyzer angle and it was nice seeing them flip flat and do huge S-turns. This is going to be a blast!
