Discraft Disc Golf Clinic: Distance with Dion

25 Comments

1. Great vid

2. than* (no grammar nazi. srs) just trying to spread the English language at
   its finest I need to work on this as well for my back hand

3. His towel exercise isn’t anywhere as harsh as a pitchers towel drill..
   also, throwing overhand like a baseball is thrown goes against your basic
   physiology. Doing a backhand pull works the way your muscles and joints are
   made to pull and personal injury is unlikely.

4. towel drills are terrible for your arm. ask any big league pitcher who has
   had tommy john surgery. they will all tell you they did towel drills.

5. I think that is where I’m losing a lot of my power, I’m forcing everything
   into one big snap rather then finishing it off with a snap at the end.
   Great guide

6. Learn to throw a mid-range correctly and the distance driving will follow.
   Plus, because it is slower with a more blunted edge, it will not hurt so
   too much to catch. I would suggest a Discraft Buzz. If you can throw it 250
   feet, your equivalent with a driver should exceed 300 feet.

7. Awesome. Thank you

9. If you’re a newer player, your disc (assuming you’re a right handed back
   hand player) will generally fade to the left at the end of its flight. This
   is normal. If you’re looking to get straighter shots, make sure you’re
   throwing level (not high up in the air) and are getting some good snap on
   your disc. Lastly, make sure you’re using skill appropriate discs – i.e.
   Eagle, Surge SS, Avenger SS, TL, etc, not Ape, Force, Nuke, Boss, and
   similar discs. Other than that, practice; talk with locals too.

10. 5 words: Not if you Hyzer it

11. I agree with jugglinggenius, Dion Arlyn needs to make more videos. He
    looks, dresses and speaks the way a real profesional should. Great Video!

12. i just played in the st paul winter carnival dg tourney, my best drive was
    425′. this makes me sick.

13. I have 9 pins in my right ankle and poor range-of-motion (ROM) I usually
    throw rhbh, any tips for me?

14. i think when u throw over 700 feet u might wanna go with the OS version of
    a disc.

15. @jptDrEaMeR I know! It almost feels overstable but its so easy to turn over!

16. Great because everyone blazes on the disc trail and is friendly.

17. argue argue argue argue argue

18. fifth time im wathing this 😛

19. I have had 0 luck with my 171 NUKE, I much prefer the 174 strata, much more
    stable.

20. I’ve been discing for years, I like to use a 3 finger grip. Just a basic
    power grip like most people use, but I feel like the pinky gets in the way.
    I just curl it back to keep it outta the way. Prevents grip-lock a lot, and
    I can drive prettttyyy far. Not sure the distance exactly but probably at
    least a good 300 or so.

21. Sweet video Dion! Now you just need to release a forehand version. Then
    Discraft will have two great videos showing how to drive. After that you
    just need Rollers, Thumbers, Tomahawks, and …. are there any other ways
    to drive a disk?

22. Thank you, Great video and VERY helpful. I really hope Dion makes more
    videos for you guys.

23. Thanks! I was debating weather to get one or not

24. nuke under stable?

25. understable (for him) means the disc will “turn” to the right when thrown
    right hand back hand a noticeable amount. Every disc thrown this way will
    “fade” left if given enough time to fly and thrown correctly. This does not
    mean the nuke will be understable for you though, you may not have the kind
    of power he has. If you’re having problems turning a nuke over switch to a
    more understable disc like a Katana or a Frenzy
