Had the pleasure of playing with a pro open player during a tournament this weekend. Young guy, super cool, didn't mind talking about dg the entire round. It was literally amazing to see how far he could throw. First time seeing a 500ft drive up close and in person. The disc literally flew so fast, looking like it was shot from a gun. lol..
We chatted about form, etc, and he kept on saying for distance, the biggest factor is simply arm speed. He said my form was ok, a few things could be dialed in but he said if I don't increase my arm speed I'll never drive further. He went on to say.."I'm guessing you throw your putter/mid ranges almost as far as your drives?" yep...only around 30-50ft further typically. Perfect example of maxed out arm speed. Sooo....with that in mind...
How do you increase arm speed? Thx for any replies.
Edit: hmm...me thinks the "Why the beato drill.." thread is what I need, but I'm going to leave this thread here in case there are some other tips, drills, etc, added to this thread.
