You should do another thing where you ask if people were willing to travel to XXXXX location and help fund your lessons like you did in the Dallas area. Or at least were inquiring about a while back.
Ask who's willing to pay/donate $50 a piece to cover your plane ticket/hotel for a day long/weekend long event. Get a tally, we book 5-10 rooms and all split the bills... Learn something, get drunk that night.... And then come home with some knowledge.
I'd burn a weekend for something like that.

I would totally do that, especially since a friend and I have been trying to come up with the money to fly him out for a few days ourselves hah

yessssssss!

hell I want to fly to, what is it Minnesota?, right now

I was gonna fly to Quebec for a weekend to support my wife at the Canadian Ultimate Championships

I could probably fly to Minnesota, stay in a hotel, AND pay Blake $$$ for the same amount

upside: I might actually be able to throw a disc
downside: unhappy wife

clearly the upside outweighs the downside

Blake let me know if you are taking out of town students

Well it was something that Blake was debating on a while back. I found the link, he posted this in 2007.

Blake always has a bed here at the house if he wants to come down... I was the one who said he should take money in advance.. If people want to show up after they pay great!!! Blake is a genius... Its worth it... He is just stage shy I think...

You'll only think that until you see him in one of Stokely's pornos.

Hey I'm a newish player who'd be perfect to test the success of this method on *wink wink*

I just recently burned a week for something like that.

 

[turso]

haha. that's almost my goal.

realistically i'm shooting for teaching someone who can throw 300+ to throw 450' in 30-45 minutes

right now i have the in motion and the eject motions down. the idea currently works for sidearm and overhand throws since the correct in motion breeds the correct eject action. i have to find a way to bridge the gap for backhand throws and doing 1 or 2 lessons with it should hopefully yield that result.

working with people for 5 minutes with it i've gotten someone who had never had a successful sidearm throw before to be able to throw a 250' sidearm with a very understable driver and a few others have gone 200+ nose down backhand with no reachback, run up, body rotation, and 20-30% strong arm power on it.

Soo, will it teach a newish player who throws 400+ to throw 550' in 30-45 minutes? =)

 

[Bradley Walker]

His explanation of focusing on the disc and the pivoting of the weight of the disc is spot on; I've found that "swing" thought has helped both newbees and myself with distance.

That sounds familiar...

 

[Blake_T1]

it's a variation on yours brad but i've found a way to implement it for all styles of throwing.

where i am hung up is the transition between the in motion and out motion.

 

[sunspot]

Would this be similar to what Brad calls the apex (in motion) and outward pull (out motion)?

 

[keltik1]

wait a minute are we talking about swinging the disc around the thumb and forefinger pivot point? and this action being propagated by the wrist?

 

[racer93]

Soo, will it teach a newish player who throws 400+ to throw 550' in 30-45 minutes? =)

Or a 500' player to go 650' in 15 mins?

I have advanced the technique well beyond the videos...

 

[holyschemp1]

Teach us more of your ways Brad! I haven't really committed the field time necessary to begin tapping into the powers of your technique...but I've noticed that it is easier to throw as far as or a little farther with it. I just have anhyzer tendencies when I focus so much on the wrist extension .
