  1. I wish I’d seen this video a year ago when I started playing. Probably the
    most important video I’ve seen so far. ?

  2. I love all your videos up to this point. I also agree grip is greatly
    underrated. And I agree about the pads, but where I disagreed is the Thumb.
    Everything you say can be applied to Forehand, but on backhand thumb
    pressure doesn’t need to be tense as pinky to palm pressure. The pinky or
    ring finger are the very first fingers to rip off the disc, once the disc
    breaks free of them no amont of thumb pressure will help. Also thumb
    pressure causes muscle tension in the biceps.

  3. Excellent tips, though indeed a few close-ups on his thumb would have been
    nice. Indeed, what would be great is a high-speed camera close-up on a
    proper release, showing the timing.

  4. i agree with jodabro, smooth is far, i think there is a fine line between
    muscle tension and grip pressure, and arm speed. if you dont produce the
    arm speed the disc will not be ripped from your grip creating good snap. or
    if you create alot of arm speed and no grip pressure you will have early
    releases with weak snap and little spin, can you make a video relating
    thumb and grip pressure to arm speed? also comment on how this would affect
    snap. that would help a lot,

  5. A close up of how the thumb is suppose to contact the disc would be nice. I
    was pressing with the tip of my thumb. I have read that this is not
    correct. The website says, ” the base of the thumb” I am guessing that big
    fleshy part by the palm?

  6. it is obviously food of some sort on his left collar the little white spots
    its not stitching its not a mic its food or drink of some sort only an
    idiot wouldnt see it. not that it matters AT ALL because this is a video
    about disc golf not fashion

  7. Whistler’s bend disc golf course is the best in America!!! 541 420 Smoke
    weed then play disc

  8. You’d think they could get Dave a shirt that didn’t have food dribbled on
    the collar??

  9. good video, but in the future, when you have a white background, don’t use
    a light blue, champion disc. Give the guy a red or an orange star or pro
    plastic so it will show up better.

  10. Wow! The King of the world! Thank you sooo much for these insights! So when
    are we gonna see those silver and gold reflective-colored discs?

  11. The “food” on his left collar is a hole for a button dummy. Ever heard of a
    polo? No offense i like tshirts too but for cripes sake.

  12. @InnovaDiscGolf no. that is clearly food dribble. the mic is at the “v” of
    the neck collar. the food dribble is obvious as it sits on the inside of
    his left collar. . . . just to clear that up.
