    how do the ratings on a disc translate to the forehand drive? Aren’t the ratings backwards for forehand?

  2. cbeckett22 Said,

    you bend your elbow when you throw… it’s only straight during your practice and back swing..

    “over stable discs mask bad habits” Excellent point!

  4. cpjackson79 Said,

    A good thing to think about, backhand or forehand: Try to feel the weight of the disc as you go to throw. If you don’t relax your wrist and arm, you won’t be able to. This idea is essential to turning your arm into a whip, which leads to snap.

    Practicing with understable discs will enhance you control, too. They’ll want to turn over when you overpower them or throw them with any flutter. Sometimes, overstable discs mask bad habits.

    these videos clinics are great guys! ive been playing for five months now and already got a third place trophy while playing with guys with at least two years under their belt. i started with a 200ft drive and thanks to this and many other videos of yours ive watched i am now easliy throwing 400ft +.

  6. BlueDevi1s Said,

    I was thinking the same thing on 400 ft. being limited. Being close to 300 ft your first time out is really good. You should be able to improve the more you play by changing the flight path (slight annyhyzer) is great for most discs and perfecting your technique. I started off with drives around 250 a couple years ago and now can get around 350. Keep practicing though and you should see improvements!

  7. DuckwalkSupreme Said,

    400 ft. is limited? Damn! I just started today, only have about 90 minutes of playing time to my career, but I’d KILL for even 300 ft….Actually I may have gotten close to 300 feet today, but I don’t think I’d be able to get 400 feet ever. The course near my house has a 427 foot hole and with my forehand throw I got within 150 feet of the hole, after 3 times through the course. How much improvement in distance did you guys see in your drives after the first few months or first year?

  8. peorpesadilla Said,

    that’s my main throw, i cant drive backhand, only my midrange shots are backhand

  9. TIKOMIX Said,

    I am a dominate forehand driver like Mr. Ellis. My backhand drives are terrible. Split fork grip and I get tons of spin. Average 430′. Best thing about forehand drives is that it doesnt take as much movement to get the disc out. I’ve been recently working on a forehand hyzer flip which looks fantastic when thrown low to the ground.

  10. wrxman24 Said,

    Well in a forearm shot, you won’t produce that snap, you want a nice firm but relaxed grip. When starting out try to bend your upper torso towards the ground. When you release you should slightly snap your wrist forward. That is what produces the spin and the more spin you have the further it will fly without fading to the right so soon, and it shouldn’t wobble.

  11. archimedesjs Said,

    I get TONS of snap on my backhand shots. For the life of me, I can’t get hardly any spin on my forehand drives. The disc ALWAYS flutters, and gets hardly any distance. I know I get the majority of my snap on my backhand drives from my follow through, how can I translate that to my forehand drive?

  12. Jodabro Said,

    This Ellis guy obviously never watches his throw in slow motion. He thinks he has no elbow movement unlike the others show cased, but its only in his backstroke that he keeps his arm straight. Everyone must lead their elbow through the throw, the key is releasing out in front of your body.

  13. waltstafari Said,

    where do i get those disc golf knee hi sox?

  14. explorr1 Said,

    I love the steal your face disc in the begining.

  15. freeskiingbeast Said,

    try the wildcat

  16. xAuBuRn Said,

    I would make sure you have good form. The worst you can do is develop bad form. 150 class is good for now.

  17. zappadadooi Said,

    the stuff about borrowing from other sports to hone your form rings true for me. My forehand is a combination of my forehand tennis swing and the way i skip rocks….

  18. brendanb1236 Said,

    well if u like discraft alot like i do. my favorite fh discs from them is the crush, force, pulse, and predator. personally i hate flicks. my snaps hyzer flips them into rollers. but i know u can find 166 or maybe lighter pulses. force is my furthest, crush is most trusting big d fh driver, predator is my accuracy fh driver, and pulse is another great big d driver. but since ur younger look into a light elite z surge. little less stable. good for turnover s shot bombs.

  19. DriveWithDiscraft Said,

    I’m 13, have been playing for 2-3 months, thow sidearm, and am a boy. Any advice for me? i drive with a 150 class flick. What else should i use? Reply to me please.

  20. maglorsregret Said,

    I much prfer the Scott Stokley method. Keep the shoulders square to the tee, and keep your arm higher.

  21. G45T3N Said,

    george lucas? is that you?

  22. Scherer321 Said,

    lol

  23. osmium13 Said,

    grateful dead, TIGHT!

  24. sensishooter Said,

    Anyone know what disc Ellis is throwing in this vid? I have been using an Elite Z Z-flick for a while but am looking for something similar with more distance… If anyone has any suggestions that would be great.
