Throwing a golf disc and seeing too much wobble or flutter on the sidearm is caused by not having enough spin or a wonky release. Both of these can be corrected with one move that takes place on the backswing. This is not easy to learn but in this video I show you a simple step-by-step process that if you follow, there is a 100% chance that you will get rid of the wobble on your sidearm.

    One of the best teachers in the game. An amazing reminder: not everyone who is a professional at something is ALSO a good teacher. Scott is both.
  • Perfectly articulated, all your videos doesn’t show how to throw perfectly on day1 . It teaches a process that you have to put in practice that will make u better player down the lane . I am the perfect example , I had zero forehand due to my shoulder injury but nowadays I throw consistent 250 ft forehand .. thanks to you scott

    52 year old here , who only threw RHBH untill I got back into the sport in 2017 , they used to be called "Tricks Shots" in the 90's !!!

    Your technique has me throwing RHFH and has taken 2 strokes off my round at the local course I play. I can now birdy 2 holes I never could with RHBH.
    Thank you Scott

    I have watched literally hundreds of videos on how to properly throw, but no one explains as in depth, and as simple as you do! In less than a day I have corrected a years worth of terrible shots, and I can now throw a solid, straight, distance shot. Your explanations just make everything click. Thank you so much for the great insight! On too the backhand!

    Scott I just want to say that I recently started playing disc golf again after many years off, I’m 44 years old now and could never side arm properly. After watching your videos I just went out today and was cranking 350 foot side arms with zero wobble! Thank you, thank you thank you!

    walked outside after seeing this tip and tried it. Elbow bent forwards, wrist cocked... man was it always this easy..? Ended up throwing it a few times to make sure it wasn't a fluke, and nope, it's just that easy to fix! Beautiful, straight shots every time! Awesome video, thanks for the help!

    then I thought "well, his go really far and mine are flying straight, but not going super far..." Then I remembered the form you showed from another video, and tried adding that on, following through with the arm, 'throwing the ball'... and accidentally sailed it over my neighbor's fence lmfao.

    I'm so happy to see experienced teachers putting methods out that work. It would be a lot easier to just point out positions from a pro (that may or may not help folks) and call it a "technique tutorial". Putting in the teaching work to find success is so much harder and we appreciate your hard work Scott!!!
  • @OutThereImages
    Scott this is one of your best, at least for me. Thank you!
  • @squirt121
    Love your sidearm explanations, and I can't wait to try this. Your other video explaining how its not a frisbee throw but its more of a ball throw with the torso leaning over took me from a backhand dominant player with an OKAY sidearm to a sidearm dominant player. Keep up the great work. <3
  • I'm almost at the point where I'm going backhand only because my forehand is terrible.
    But I'll give this method a shot. I'll get back to you on the results.
    Thx for giving me hope to save my forehead.
  • Great video Scott sidearm is definitely what I need the most work on this year!!!
  • Thank you Scott! Can't wait to work on this. You have an excellent way of saying what matters.
  • @tommyboy4835
    Thank you Scott, super helpful and I’m “Stoked” to put it into practice 👍👍
  • @5stringaustin
    Awesome video as always, Scott! I’m sure you mentioned this when I took your seminar here in KC in April, but I don’t remember as much emphasis on the leading elbow. Been struggling to try and get a serviceable forehand still, and feel like this drill may be what I was missing!! Thanks again!
  • @deepsender
    I'm so glad you said that the elbow "just a little bit" in front of the wrist is okay. I tried throwing like Eagle and injured my elbow. Nine months of healing. Now I throw using your method, Scott, and my elbow is good. I basically "coast" through the point when my elbow is in front. Then I snap with the wrist. This gives me good throws, but no injuries.
  • Thank you Scott. Every round your name comes up in conversation. You are a legend.
  • @GrittyBogFrog
    Great insight as always Scott! These videos have helped me go from throwing forehand approach shots only if I had no other choice to throwing the forehand or backhand off the tee at any distance. Thanks for helping so many of us!

    Thanks for the tip Scott! Going to apply this to my game tomorrow.
