COURSE DESCRIPTION

​

​

In this lesson we learn how to form a base for the powergrip

Drilling the motion on how to make the base.

In this lesson we learn how to use thumb effectively in powergrip.

Now we exercise the right placement of thumb in powergrip

In this lesson we learn how to accomodate your hand around the disc with powergrip.

Now we learn how to practice this and make this accomodation action as a part of gripping the disc.

We learn another gripping style for shallow rim discs called Control Grip or sometimes called a Fan Grip.

Exercise to make it a part of your routine. Drilling the gripping motion with Control Grip.

Notes on how much pressure you need to apply when gripping the disc with any grip.

​

In this lesson we learn how to make a base for the backhand standstill throw. This is an athletic stance and you need to be active. The strong base is the key in any technique and it is important to have a correct base so the rest will become easier.

Now we drill the way to find the stance and make it automatic.

Next we add the first moving part and start to learn how to rotate the front leg.

Next we exercise the rotation and get benefits in mobility and isolation.

Now we add the hips to the chain. We isolate our lower body and concentrate on the movement there.

Adding the hips to the chain of motion and drilling the movement. Getting to know how the the rotation of lower body feels.

Now we learn how to use torso in the movement and how we separate the movement of upper and lower body and why is it necessary to study them separately.

Next we study the shoulder rotation separately from the upper body rotation.

We add the torso rotation to the chain of motions and drill it to perfection.

Now we study how the weight transfer works in between back and front leg.

We drill the correct way to transfer weight between the back and front leg.

Next we talk about the arm swing and how to do it correctly. We find the most efficient way to transfer power from our lower body rotation to linear arm motion.

Let's exercise the arm swing motion for a flat release and add another piece to the chain of motions. A Glass of water will help us imagine the line we are aiming for.

Now we look at the elbow and where it should live in our chain of motions.

We look at the straight line we want our disc to fly, and find the way to visualize this line with our hand.

Now we talk about the pull through the power pocket and how we achieve this.

Almost there! Now we talk about the hit point, and the wrist. We don't want to emphasize too much on the wrist, but it is there, so we talk about it.

Let's do an exercise on wrist motion and how to find the hit point with it.

Last but definitely not least we talk about follow through. This is important because proper follow through protects you from injury but also gives you the relaxed and repeatable throw.

Let's talk about what kind of disc should use to practice backhand standstill throw.

Now we start to put the parts together! Let's check the lower body first.

Now we check the upper body and build the whole movement chain from the ground up.

We talk about the accelerating motion of the disc. The speed of the disc should be accelerating up until the moment of release.

In this lesson we talk about how the power is generated from ground up and how we use minimal effort to gain maximal efficiency.

Timing is essential when learning the fluid motion of a backhand throw. We talk about how we put everything together and how the energy is transferred through our body from legs through the body to the disc.

In this lesson we talk about the head and how it should be when throwing backhand standstill.

In this lesson we look the action of the off arm, or the arm that is not holding the disc.

We are here! Now we start to practice the whole movement chain of backhand standstill shot.

Now we take our putter and learn how to throw a putter upshot or approach shot.

​

Here we address the issues with arm swing and the result of rounding your shot. We see how it looks like and check the way to eliminate this problem.

Here we talk about faulty wrist action and how to correct that.

Now we look at problems with weight shift, and what kind of errors will come out when shifting your weight wrong.
