damn what a beast
@youtah676 seriously? who put on the clinic? its written all over the beginning of the video, and if that wasnt enough, this is discraft’s youtube channel
i changed my grip to the first one he shows and am now crushing 300+ with fairway drivers nearly 400 with drivers.
i’ve been lacking power and distance in my backhand drives and have been trying to unlock the secrets to better throws. i was starting to think it was the discs i use, and i throw a discraft esp xl, and elite z xpress, both of which are “long distance”. i think this video may help, although i’ve tried the knuckle grip and completely lose control of my throws. it’s a lot to work on but i think it all comes with practice. footwork and body movement is the most important factor, i think. taijutsu
awesome advice thanks a lot Marty Peters and uploader! im going out today and am gonna remember this
They weren’t all that bad too begin with lol. His tips probably did help in the long run though. My throw is very unique. Nobody I know throws like me, and I usually throw 400+ feet. Distance isn’t everything though. Most courses are Par 3s, which means 300-400 feet holes. Approach and putting are more than 50% of disc golf. I don’t how good they are at those things, but my guess is they need to work on that more than anything.
Who put on the clinic ?
great advice, I took all his tips for technique and have added a ton of distance to my drive. improved my drives from an average of about 330 feet to over 400 feet in one day. now I’m getting birdie opportunities i never had before and even overthrowing some pins
i watched this video about 7 months ago, and it helped my drives alot. i want to go to one of these, and see what im still doing wrong.
Great video!! I tried a couple of the adjustments Marty talked about and what do you know..added about 50-75 ft right off the rip. Thanks
pretty much the hand grip is….on your hand there is a line that connects from your pointer finger to your palm. that line is where you place your disc, and then you either can place all four fingers pad on the rim or have your pointer and pinky fingers pad on the rim and have your ring and middle fingers finger-tips be touching the rim. For me i use the four pads, because the 2&2 hurts my fingers
I’ve been playing for several years, but my average drive is still in the 250 foot range (seems like every person on the internet throws 350 feet, but i never see them at the courses
). I had some issues gripping the disc too hard, and the higher throw…changing to the lower throwing motion and fixing my grip has definitely made my throws more consistent, straighter, and w/ more spin for bigger “s” turns. Great Video! Thanks!
Marty could thow a styrofoam party plate farther than me and I have been playin 10 years!
Marty Peters is my father, we go disc golfing alot, and when we are playing he tells me everything to do, like in this viedo. Yes, it is hard and may seem frustrating but it will help in the end.
Thanks to Marty, Discraft andthis clinic for improving my drive. I can hit 425+ with a Force now.

@PhillyDooler52 I don’t actually like the elite Z plastic, I prefer the ESP, seems like it is a lot more grippy than elite Z.
Right?!?! Cheesy of all cheesies for the ending…but a good video nonetheless.
im 16 and ive been playing disc for almost 2 years, everything marty said is absolutely correct. my avg. drive is right around 360 feet. i have the best tandem for discs, the discraft flash and discraft avenger. another small tip that marty didnt say. when your buying a disc try to go for the transparent(you can see through) ones. this not only looks cooler but this means they are made with elite Z plastic which means they usually last long and take less wear&tear
@pickboy87 Just following up. So I tried these techniques today and I saw a nice improvement over my throw. I’m still learning the throw (it’s a little wild/high at times), but it’s definitely farther than before. I don’t feel like I’m losing massive amounts of power each time I throw.
Sweet, I can’t wait to give this a shot today. My drives suck horribly and tend to vary extremely. I go anywhere from ~175 feet to ~275 feet or so. I know I’m losing a lot of power in my throw. The hand grip is a little hard to see in the video.
number 8 is quite a long hole. especially into the wind. 450 average really cuts that hole down significantly
