Throwing techniques

Forehand steps

COURSE DESCRIPTION

In this course, you will learn the basics of taking steps when throwing forehand shots in a very clear and simple way.

Taking steps with shots will increase the distance of your throws when done correctly. Evolving your throw from a standstill position to taking steps can be a slow process but we assure you that after this course you will have all the tools you need to improve quickly! Taking steps is like a choreographed dance move so keep smiling and practicing.

Let's get started!

Lesson - Last step

We start to go through the steps backwards from the last step. This is a good way to connect the dots from the forehand standstill position since we are stepping into that position when we release the disc.

Now we exercise the last step throw. Keep it simple and concentrate on your footwork. Never mind of the shots are not going were you are aiming. This can happen if you are not extremely well versed in forehand shots. Get the last step drilled and you will start see some great results!

Lesson - Cross step

Lesson - Cross step

Let's study the middle part of our steps. The cross step is also sometimes called a crow hop, or pro hop. There are multiple variations but this is the most simple version of the cross step. We will find our own way of doing this eventually since everyone has different body mechanics and different-sized extremities. let's start from here and build the chain of motions first!

Exercise - Cross step

Exercising the cross step or the 2nd step. You can practice this without a disc first and then throw shots with a stable fairway or a driver. Again, we don't mind were the disc is landing. We are practicing footwork so once we get that working, the shots will land where we want.

Lesson - Versatility

The forehand steps can be utilized in various ways. Learning these steps one by one may help you when you are on a difficult terrain with rocks and roots, or on an uneven surface where you can't throw with a full run up. Always use common sense and be safe when throwing.

Working on the details here. Small foot rotation is good. This is not as big as in backhand drive but it is again good to rotate that foot to release the torque and tension of your body in a controlled fashion.

The release point of a forehand shot is much lower than a backhand throw. This is why we must bend our knees and go lower to get that good power to our disc.

Building the sum of its parts. Keeping it simple and trying to remember all the small details. Take it slow, practice with a slow enough pace at first to get all the motions in place. Distance is not the thing we practice here, but the smooth and simple steps. Keep that in mind and you will learn this in a heartbeat!

Exercise - Aiming to a target

In this exercise we take a target and try to find the right amount of power to hit that target. You can use about anything, a flag, traffic cone, fixed target like a tree, or your bag like in this instance. Practice through repetition and you fill slowly get more comfortable with the forehand steps.
