Technique help

[darnell]

Have any of you advanced big arm guys thought about having some clinics or something to help some of us improve our game? I have been playing for about 3.5 years and hit a distance wall about a year ago of about 300ft. I am stronger than alot of people that throw longer than I do so I think I just need some technical help. I have never seen anyone mention this, maybe they are just too proud to ask but I want to improve my game so thanks for any help

go check out youtube, theres lots of instructional videos about distance and technique. there could be alot of reasons you are stuck at 300ft, but we would need to know more about how you throw to figure that out

Try different grips. I had hit a wall on my distance until I switched up to a two finger grip on drives. Over the course of a weekend I was able to add about 50-60ft to my drives.

Also, learn the Vandaproach™.

If your like me and to poor to pay jim. Do what derek said in conjuction with throwing with griff.
Vids on youtube that helped me are the dan beto vid about a drill working from the hit back. Search dan beto. A grip I used till I got me grip strength was the "climo" grip. I think the vid I saw him explain it was called the fdcu clinic. But I think if you search climo grip it should be on the top.

Another thing that helped me was something jay reading told me at shawshank
"if you don't tire your arm out in the field practicing. Your not doing it right"

This is the famous Dan Beato clip that has helped zillions of disc golfers:

Best site for learning technique and also where Beato learned what he shows online.

I will check out those links and thanks for all your help. I have watched some stuff to improve my distance but I cant see myself throw so I dont know where I need to improve or change. That was kinda where I was going with the clinic thing, someone can see what I do and tell me what I need to focus on. Again thanks

At Day-of-Course III you'll be able to get your drive filmed in slo-mo during lunch time. We're going to set up our slo-mo cameras and film drives as a fundraiser for States. Filming my drive in slo-mo showed me things I never knew I did.
