How To Throw Flat Backhands Every Time

Just caught the skins coverage, that truly was one of the best shots I've seen. Congratulations Scott and great instruction as always.

It worked! I practiced by backhand slapping my friend, and he said my form definitely looked better! Judging from the marks on his face, I'd say the wrist swivel is gone! Thanks Scott! 😂

Scott this video cut 3 strokes off my record for my home course today! My drives straightened out and I also set a distance record. I can’t thank you enough.

This 51 yr old, recovering from elbow injury, went out to throw tonight, the goal was to work on throwing nose down, not nose up. Next thing you know I was throwing mid ranges dead flat and they were going as far as fairways usually go. Then swapped discs and threw fairways as far as drivers. Thanks for the great tip!

Wow. It's crazy how you can watch a million videos that never really click, then you see that one thing that gives you that "ah-ha!" moment. I love the way you break everything down in your training videos, your attitude toward life, and everything you do for the sport. You have helped me a ton, and not just in disc golf. Thank you.

Scott is a limitless fountain of knowledge. Love this!

Added 30-40 feet to my drive instantly. Should be taught to every begginer. Thanks dude.

I was swiveling my wrist just like you pointed out here, having all the related problems associated with that. In one video, you solved one of the biggest problems with my backhand. Two months later, I'm throwing consistently farther, flatter, and more on my line than ever. Low ceiling shots don't scare me any more. I'm getting distance with mids and fairways that I've never had before. Even better, now I understand how to throw that controlled nose up stall shot when needed. All my friends have noticed, and they are learning too. Thank you!!!

Thank you so much for this video! I am a 53 year old woman and not quite a beginner anymore but was really struggling with my drives, nose up and wasting all my energy throwing at the sky but not being able to translate any suggestions to something that made sense to me. I watched your video today and tried it out tonight and….it worked! It finally made sense to me and I was very encouraged to see my drives going where I wanted. Yay!!

Scott is the only person who can explain things in a way that makes sense!

I forgot I'd watched this video and laughed out loud when Scott explained the drill makes you throw cut rollers hard as hell, because that's what I've been doing some of the time since discovering pretty consistent snap most of the time. The problem almost always comes down to a wavy or otherwise not level and smooth pull through at the height of the power pocket (noting that pull through is a whirling shoulder yanking the arm forward, not really a pull). Throwing putters perfectly straight and flat with tons of spin way farther than without snap. I can finally appreciate why pros use putters as drivers so often. And Scott: your forehand shot near the end of OTB Skins #59 made me cry it was so brilliant, like it left a trail the way a comet does. Love you, brother.

Almost a solely forehand player looking to improve my backhand and this was an excellent explanation thank u!

This is one of the best tips I've ever gotten. It has improved my backhand (when I remember to think about it) tremendously. Thank you Scott!

Scott, you put on the best tutorial videos, hands down. I’ve seen several of yours and love your enthusiasm and your love for teaching comes through. Oh, also your advice added 75 feet to my distance instantly.

This was one of the best throwing videos I’ve watched where the mechanics and feel of the form was tangible. I’m so excited to put these tips to use later this week!

Just started really learning backhand last year and I've been struggling to find the right technique. I went out to the field yesterday with these tips in mind. I followed your advice and threw an anyhyzer into the ground and it just kinda clicked for me. It gave me the perspective of doing the angle to the extreme which I never really did. I could feel how I would need to correct to throw flat and not nose up like id been struggling with. Thank you Scott! I've watched a ton of videos trying to figure what im doing wrong and this one seriously helped me more than any other video!

Scott's information is gold. I love what he's doing. I follow everything he does and I can't wait to sign up for his class

Such a great video and advice on how to keep your drive flat. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the community.

this directly addresses the issues I've been having with my drive's. Can't wait to get out there and practice and hopefully gain some distance and SNAP! thx Scott, awesome video as usual!

All the form technique videos I've watched over the years and I've literally never heard the problem described this way before. Can't wait to try this out in the field. Thank you!
