Hello from KC! Keep chasing my sidearm throw?

[liveburning]

Hey all!

I'm approaching at about a year into this sport. I'm really starting to love it more. My home course is Swope Park here in KC. It's great for a nice, easy-to-walk front 9 or a some alternate tees that allow from some long drives.

KC has developed a nice assortment of courses so I'm having fun working my way through them.

Question: I am just starting to get into my form but am finding my sidearm is giving me my best and longest drives; in the 200-300 range. But I'm a little worried about injuring myself with this throw? Do I need to be concerned about this?

Thanks guys. I'm looking forward to growing in this sport!

You should only be concerned if your form is flawed. This thread covers the topic pretty well.

Nope, side arm won't hurt you as long as you do it right. If it hurts you have something weird going on. I have an existing shoulder injury, and I throw side arm a ton.

Thanks for this. It's a good read.
