Backhand Form Basics - Beginner's Guide to Disc Golf

Very well done, thanks!

Great video. I'll use the front pocket step because it engages the hips more.

I am a lefty (average, not terrible), but watched this video with a first time thrower before doing a round. Threw righty in solidarity, standing only - like they suggest - and after a couple of holes I was playing as well as I do with a run up left handed. Must have some terrible habits as a lefty

I love Trevor's sarcastic remarks about your putting and it has totally ruined my game.

I just played my first 9 holes a little while ago and it was fun but I had no idea what I was doing. This is really helpful. Thank you!

Obrigado por ensinar

Im not sure that you will respond to this but how do you know when to release?

Looking back at this now... It makes sense why Trev made his own channel.

I’m gonna have to give this a shot next time I have an open feild. See the difference between this style throw and what I’m doing now.

Great instruction!

You need to come to South Carolina and play me and my dad

Reaching for the right pocket doesn't cause you to lead with your shoulders?

Thank you

This is the goat backhand tutorial guys. Changed my throw in the very first practice of your steps and ive been playing for like 8 years. Incredible

This was a fantastic video. I'm just starting out. Does one of your videos talk about techniques for when to release the disc or techniques for releasing? I'm having a hard time with this. Thank you!

North Dakota Hockey!

Great video! - I am a beginner and this was so unbelievably helpful ☺️

i know distance isnt the only thing that matters but how far should you be able to throw standing still and throwing a backhand cause i can only get about 280ft on a almost perfect throw for my standards lmao

So glad I came across this video. I'm fairly new to the game and I've been working on my form here and there but nothing to the extent that you guys laid out. I tried to skip some steps and emulate the guys I play with who X-step and have been a danger to every tree (and human person) on the course. Can't wait to get out on the grounds and give this a shot. Birdies are imminent... Appreciate you!

Thank you for the video. ive watched this about a hundred times and it didnt make sense until i got on the course and got several months of experience failing. after about 6 months of throwing and trying to figure it out i came back to this video and suddenly it all made sense. To all the beginners out there i have two pieces of advice. 1. Dont try to throw hard. start out at about 50% power. seriously. the harder you try to throw the more messed up youll be and you dont want to get into bad habits from the beginning. 2) stop using high speed drivers. get a leopard3 or something similar and use it as your main driver. trying to throw high speed discs from the beginning is a recipe for disaster because eventually that will lead you back into trying to throw too hard. so slow way way down and you will eventually be able to "feel" what youre supposed to do. Two thumbs up and 5 stars for the video.

Great tutorial video guys!! I’ve been applying the technique into my back hand throws and i can see a difference.. i still need a lot of practice and thus video will help me get better!! Thank you 🙏

Tried these tips today and shaved 7 strokes off 10 holes. It would've been more but my putting was crap today.

This is gold. I love the tips to help with timing. The reach for your pocket, and elbowing Trevor (sorry Trevor I don't really want to elbow you.😉) are really great triggers to help get yourself in line. Can't wait to try these out because I am really bad right now. I definitely agree that trying to learn the X step while you're trying to work on your positioning and timing is too much for a lot of people.

I would love to see a 9 hole video that is standstill only. This could help prove that you don't need the X-step. I find standstills super useful for limiting distance and more accurate upshots. Much love, FTF

Thank you!! This video was perfect. Kept on pace. Not too much information that it was overwhelming(for a new player trying to learn) but also enough tips and information that it helps with the flow of the shot. I'm excited to go out and test my shot now!

JFC..... Why is the intro music so ***** loud compared to the volume of the rest of the video?!?!! ***** Obnoxious

Actually a good video. Wish you guys could go back to being yourselves.

Let's go Brandon!!

I’ve watched so many videos trying to figure this out. Coming from ultimate, I just can’t understand the form despite watching many people throw and explain it. This video really broke things down into steps, and explained the form and how to achieve it. Extremely helpful compared to others which just tell you “reach back and rip it flat across your chest.” The analogies about reaching straight away, punching to the pocket to start the rotation, and elbowing through made me understand what I should be doing for the first time. Can’t wait to try it out, thank you for explaining each and every step!

Excellent video

Thank you.

So much talking. You’re killing me Smalls

Yo I’m dead serious this is my hometown park. I thought I recognized that tree line. Hole 2

Episode 2? But this is #1 on the list....

Best intro ever

Great video!!!

Got it I think I’m elbowing Trevor every time I drive the disc I think that’ll work😅😊🥏⛳️😎👍

Thanks for this. It’s my go to video over and over when I get frustrated with my backhand. Truly the epitome of the best video on backhand form

Can you let Trevor talk next time. Kid is so awkwardly standing there lol

does disc golf players get women?

Very informative and I enjoyed the information you provided. Going to be giving this a try.

Hi yes I have a question, when you get to the part of using hips how do you stop your massive dick from getting in the way? It’s really been hindering the performance and would like further tips thank you. Great vid btw

Even when demonstrating rounding Trevor throws straight.

Awesome video

Bullshit video still cant throw

Good stuff dudes

Hunter’s fingers are so bendy looking on the fan grip
