That's it, tomorrow I'm throwing like Gannon.
-
Legit advice. I started doing this a month ago and it makes a big difference
-
These five minute tips are really digestible for me, thanks!
-
Best explanation of (and how) to get to the power pocket everyone yaps about, now I fully understand the idea AND intent, ty!
-
I started doing this a few weeks ago. Was really focusing on the 10 o clock release which is best achieved by this practice. At first I lost distance. But I can now throw mids 300 feet and super straight easily. So anyone reading this, it does work. Might just take a minute to fully implement. Also my nose angle was bad but have started correcting it
-
I appreciate the length of your video, short and to the point, and informative.
-
Soo good advice,now i see reachback and powerpocket as a two part process ,the reachback is not the long movement of the arm to the "hit/release point" it is just the starting point to get to the area where the bodys rotation "takes over" and accelerates the disc, aka powerpocket, way more than a forced arm can ever do,totally new insight about driving the disc,thanks!
-
I can vouch for this. I have been implementing this into my game for about a week now. IT WORKS!!!
-
Great shit, very well broken down and explained. Thanks for helping make us all less bad.
-
Just tried this and pulled off a McBeast with a side of Heimberg followed by a raptor leg disc retrieval!! Thank you for the vid!
-
I’ve been trying to speed up my elbow, but it wasn’t working. Focusing on getting the back of the disc to my right pec is actually making that happen now. Thank you! There is nothing more fun than feeling the disc jump out of my hand
-
Hey Nick, I like what you said about putting the disc more in the deep pocket minimizing elbow drop, so I plan to try that out tomorrow. There's a lot of good form elements that automatically fix other issues that may not seem related. And this might be one of them.
-
Bonus power comes from the off hand bringing mass into the center of the rotation. The other stuff should just feel mechanical, not muscular.
-
Watched the Robbie C video earlier on the 10 o' clock position before I found this video. It seems the position that you are referring to in this video would force your hand to come out at 10 o' clock. Does that sound accurate?
-
Good stuff. Cant wait to play my next round.
-
So is getting your disc into the pocket a more conscious, muscular movement? And then at that point, just letting the rotation take over to sling shot the disc out? Or is all of the motion caused naturally by the hip’s/body’s rotation? I’ve tried to get my disc into the position shown in the video, but it just results in me arming my disc and over-extending my pec muscles. Any help on this?
-
So do you let go of the disc? Do you have a softish grip and it rips out? Do you release your thumb to have it release? I open my hand to release and just heard I need to keep my hand closed. But that just doesn’t make sense.
-
Just a few years ago, every youtuber was teaching to stay away from this position and to keep the disc further back IN the power pocket.
-
My takeaway here is that the elbow is in front of the shoulder and not straight in front on the shoulder! I've seen several instruction videos explaining that the upper arm should be at 90 degrees. Probably because some videos are made by people that aren't necessarily that experienced themselves.
-
Good vid!
