    When to lay up vs. go for a long putt? How to go for a putt without going way past?

    If the probability of making the putt is 50%, the probability of making the comeback putt is 50%, and the worst possible result is a three-putt, we get the following expected score: Expected score = 0.5 * 2 + 0.25 * 3 + 0.25 * 4 = 2.75 If we assume that you cannot mess up the lay up (not true...

    The Kinetic Sequence

    I have spent some time the last few days crushing imaginary cans and elephant walking around my apartment, and I think I have found something. When my right heel plants, it feels like it pulls my right hip forward, which in turn pulls my right shoulder. As long as I get into the backswing and...

    The Hips

    I recently had a bit of a revelation, or so I hope, regarding the hips. I have for so long tried to find ways to generate power using my legs and hips, and I have struggled with consistency. After watching a bunch of Shawn Clement videos, his mantra of: “Go get the ground, get the body out of...

    Help me fix my form

    I haven't been able to throw yet so no new video. I have been working the one leg drill indoors with a hammer focusing on lifting my toes and keeping my weight on my heel. I do have a conceptual question regarding the lower body - is the idea to create rotation in the lower body which in turn...

    Help me fix my form

    Thanks sidewinder22! New day, new video. This time without watermark. 33Ro8Va-RNw I am trying to keep my back foot upon its toes. I struggled a lot with generating momentum and it felt like I was pulling the disc with my arm. In the end of the session (video above) I believe I actually...

    Help me fix my form

    PqxqFWg9fMI So this is the first time I have filmed myself throwing in quite some time and I would really like some input! To me it looks like: * My timing is off, either between hips/shoulders or shoulders/arm, or both * Not really getting any elbow extension * I am not bracing properly...

    Stand still form - in need of help!

    Simpler terms are very appreciated :) I guess I should practice just standing still shifting my weight back and forth. I feel that when I try to focus on the inside of my front foot, trying to think "skiing", it feels like I am keeping my weight on the ball of my front foot and not the heel...

    Stand still form - in need of help!

    Okay, I understand the weight part. Regarding the looseness, does that include my arm? I have been trying to throw with a really loose arm to make sure I am not strong arming. Am I overdoing it? I can see the problems with my tilted spine, reachback etc. As for crushing the can, could you spell...

    Stand still form - in need of help!

    Update time! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6thLVt8OzU I know that I am still bending my knee way to much and keeping my weight over the ball. I thought I had the whole can crushing thing figured out but the next time I went to the field it was gone:mad: I have been experimenting with...

    Stand still form - in need of help!

    I guess I'll just to have to keep reviewing the videos posted, practice, and maybe, hopefully, something will eventually click. Once again, thank you everyone for trying to help me. You are truly awesome!

    Stand still form - in need of help!

    I have tried to figure out what Feldberg is talking about in the clinic SW22 posted. Feels like that would be a major thing to fix. I tried to focus on getting the body out of the way and it felt pretty good. Consistency in terms of release angle and height was not so impressive but they always...

    Stand still form - in need of help!

    Okay. Field practice today was not pretty. I tried a few X-steps and actually found it easier to brace/straighten my right leg with a little bit of forward momentum. Could it be beneficial to practice this with an x-step? I don't own a baseball bat or golf club but I found a maasai club I will...

    Stand still form - in need of help!

    I will start with a short introduction of who I am and where I'm at. I picked up disc golf last summer and over the last few weeks I have tried to work on my form. I thought I made some good progress and was getting my mids to 250' on average and close to 300' on the good throws, all stand...
