    Stokely is one of those heroes of the old game who has dedicated himself to teaching. I am super grateful for it.
  • @JB-qz9mi
    I like your way of instruction. No "um"s, no misspoken words, ect. The way you take your time speaking and get across the message you want is excellent.
  • @baldjustice393
    Simple NOT easy! The game explained in 3 words! Thank you Scott!!!!

    As soon as you said correlation does not equal causation, I knew I was gonna learn from this video.
  • @Two_Buck
    Scott Stokely is clearly one of the best disc golf instructors out there. I have felt the elusive snap only a few times and have always been eager to figure it out. Now I think a have a major clue. Thank you.
  • @MajorDumperoo
    As a new player trying to improve these videos have been priceless. Thank you, Scott.
  • I cant say enough about Scott's teaching style. Straight forward, to the point, no BS. I love it!! Thanks so much.

    I watched this and went right out to the field and I swear I was throwing some of the better shots I ever have. Not only did I feel like I was getting the snap but I was getting the nose down on drives and I was throwing putters like I never have-- dead straight with no wobble. Thanks a lot Scott, you are a gift to the game.

    I remember meeting Scott for the first time possibly in '97 or '98 at the triple crown series in Florida that kicked off in Gainesville. A couple of buddies and I drove down from Toronto and it was the first time I played 'pro' We met Scott in our practice round and he was a super chilled guy who took the time to chat. That tournament was cut short a day because of a hurricane and then we played in Orlando at Barnett in knee high water on some holes. The next time I saw him was at the '99 worlds in Rochester (where Russell ended Climo's run of 9 straight titles) I was sitting on the first tee right behind Scott and I'll always remember the sound and the impact on the ground when he bombed his magnet 325 ft on a slightly uphill hole. It may not sound like a big throw now but it was then. Watching him play in Michigan where he would throw unorthodox shots was a treat as well (throwing a downhill roller in the woods when he could have probably just parked it with a putter) He definitely was a unique player who seemed to like to play to the crowd a bit. Sorry about the long post but it brought back a lot of memories of what was a very cool time for me in disc golf and that Florida trip was epic.
  • Scott Stokely, you are a Master Teacher. I say that with utmost respect. I am an educator, and have been for 26 years. I’ve been a mentor for new teachers. I’ve served on state curriculum and standard boards. I have a doctorate in my discipline. I know a GREAT teacher when I see one. I have had “teachers” who could do it, and do it incredibly well, but could not teach it incredibly well. You teach in accordance with my philosophy in that at least 9 out of 10 people can understand your concepts. I’ve been playing since ‘76 and have not had the advantage of the Internet and YouTube like the new generation of players today. You are a godsend to my game. I’ve watched dozens of others—who produce good lessons—here are YouTube explaining various aspects of technique. I want to tell everyone to just subscribe and watch Scott Stokely, you need no other tutorial lessons. Bravo, Scott!

    I want to spray blood when I throw!
  • @rogerjones332
    I say a prayer before each game to generate 'Holy Snap!'
  • @karitoivonen93
    Great stuff. Scott has the rare gift to teach things the way it immediately makes sense. I will never get enough of his videos and I have been reading and watching his published stuff now for 15 years.
  • Mcbeth has the best snap it's a joy to witness in person. His form looks like he's casually tossing and the disc ROCKETS out of his hand at 65-70 mph. you did an excellent job describing it!!
  • @jack_up1122
    Been watching my dad play since I was a lad, I’m 19 and have officially been playing on my own for two weeks. No one had explained this phenomenon better than you, thanks Scott!
  • @neilrankin4133
    You have a way of explaining things that make sense and instill confidence. Thanks Scott!
  • Hands down the best teacher. Solely by how simple you break things down. Cut and dry straight to the point. Just overall simply explained. Love the way you define the fine line between what the mechanics actually are and what feels natural. You break the two down into separate parts and you show how the two should work together once put together.
  • Stoke, you are a freaking legend bro. Would love to see some of the old school90s guys go at it with the young stars of today, in a skins game.
