  • Ok, so I am a 49 year old father of 5 boys that all play disc golf. I was a professional golfer in a former life. Form as I knew was my only chance to make the boys worry about me on the course. Started out throwing around 300 feet for a year, then 350 but got stuck. After implementing a reach back that is after my front toe touch and this tip you spoke of on the video, I have now thrown a disc over 400 feet. My boys dont even know yet, lol. I'm going to beat them like a drum Sunday.
  • Literally the first time I’ve watched someone effectively explain how to “open the hips” on a drive. Well done!

    The 1 thing that completely changed my throws was when I realized how relaxed your body needs to be when you throw. Loose!!!!! STOP trying to think about it so much it makes your body tense and COMPLETELY ruins your throwing ability. relax your entire body and all it’s levers next time you go to throw and basically let your body become a whip. I’ve been playing for less than 1 year I’m barely an intermediate player but using this 1 simple trick I’m able to get that snap sound on my drives. RELAX! trust me. Let your arm and entire body become a whip and watch how much better you feel next time you throw! Good luck everyone🙂
  • I've implemented this since I watched your video a month ago. I can't thank you enough for this It genuinely added 60 to 70 feet to my throw. From averaging 360, To now 430.

    10 years playing here. 350’ max. First time I’ve heard someone explain opening the hips this way. Thanks!
  • Hey joel, seen you around town over the years, finally got out to an event and saw you destroy match play championships in Bailey. You've always been a local legend, but man, there's no one more deserving of a great 2023 season. One of the nicest guy's you'll ever meet. Hope we see you on top this season!

    I kept hurting my knees and shoulders throwing with a closed stance. This video helped me immensely. I love you. I owe you my life

    Your hips won't work unless you learn how to start the form. You need to learn how to start the throw with you left knee moving first. Even from standstill. Forget the run up until you learn to use your hips. Left knee first

    As always, your teaching style is so precise and clear but also simple to follow. Thank you so much for this video!
  • Been working on incorporating a backhand this past season, as a default forehand player. You were SO kind to comment on my video I shared on Instagram about this “window” theory. Thank you for clearly explaining what it means to “open your hips” in laymen terms. I will be going out for fieldwork this weekend + looking to implement this step ASAP. Thanks again!!!
  • Thank god this wasn’t a “you’re rounding” video. Thanks, Joel.

    I felt better the first time I threw, using this tip. Disc came off flat and fast, with more spin, meaning it travelled further before fading. Played my local course and tied my personal best, while throwing long on holes I'd never thrown long on before. Awesome video, Joel! Thank you!
  • Although known for your outlandish and colorful style, you've always been a player I love to watch due to your precision and form. Thanks for the tip!

    With our teepads having some snow shake on them we've been able to see where each of us plant. It's been really eye opening to see this exact feature reflected in who throws a bit further with all other things being somewhat equal. Still something I'm really working on after hearing it from so many (probably Simon most notably) but I really liked this take on it too.

    Joel, you are such a great instructor of the game! Appreciate the insight!
