Got some time with BigJerm at Waco to learn a thing or two about the forehand for disc golf. Who else would you like me to film with?

[AcesInMyPocket]

Jeremy is such a clear speaker and direct. very helpful and positive it's great to see!! Thanks for having him on Brodie

[OMGScoots]

Fun fact: My buddy Andrew and I taught Big Jerm how to throw backhand at a little course in Black Mountain at Camp Rockmont Christian camp for boys. We were all councilors that summer.
You're welcome Big Jerm!

I know this is an oldish video but man this is one of the best coaching videos I've seen, explaining so much more than just forehands... also a great explanation of the biomechanics and why forehands are worth using

Just started working on my forehand drives after 25 years of disc golf. So many different styles. Always good to get some additional tips and tricks. Thanks BigJerm & Dark Horse. Hopefully, we will see you guys at Worlds here in UT. Not sure you will read this but also would like to bring your attention to the Worlds oldest PDGA player from my hometown, Santa Maria, CA. Check out Don Shinn. He will be turning 100 years old in October. He is planning to play in the Senior PDGA Tournament in Pasadena, CA. He played in it last year. I had the pleasure of playin with him while I was back home this past summer. He is out every morning at 8 throwing 27 holes at Waller Park or Preisker Park. Crazy thing is he only throws a Mamba. Great guy. Tried reachin out to Innova about it but got no where. I believe now a Innova Rep is keeping an eye on him to make sure he will be ready for the Senior PDGA tournament. There is discussion of holding a tournament for his Birthday in October. Hoping to get some Pros out to play since it is not to often you get to play with a 100 year old. Love to see you guys on the tee pad with Don.

Where I live, there is a disk golf course at this park not too far away, I'm experienced, but still new and working on my form and throw. I have lost a few disks because there is a lot of foliage. I throw underhand and just got some new disks for Christmas that I really want to throw. I would recommend beginners, and honestly, it's just a good disk anybody could use. My numbers are 7.4 -1.3 fairway driver Innova

I would love to see Jerm talk about the flick/release point. I feel myself and others have a tendency to flick late or have an awkward quirk where I can flick drivers clean, but mids and putters are a lot tougher to flick and release clean without wobble. Great video though. Thanks for taking the time to make it.

Perfect timing! Was out practicing Forehands yesterday and came to the conclusion i needed to find a how to forehand video.

Mid range disc are ok but I find the aviar putter hardest to grip.
Use gripping ultimate discs.

Big Jerm: one of the best forehands in the world

Big Jerm is the man, he gave me a few discs in Myrtle Beach around 7 years ago. I still have one of them, lost the other two

[thomasdirksen]

Hey that's the tie dye eagle L, I gave to Big Jerm last year in Vegas. Glad it made it in the bag.

[astore]

Loving all the beginner friendly disc golf content youre putting out! Especially with some of the focus switching from ultimate!

[williamfowler]

I keep coming back to this video as I work on my forehand. Just watching Jerm throw shorts and analyzing his form has helped me alot.

[michaelreeder]

Love the info and really like the slow mo at the end. Helpful to see the release slowed down like that from various angles. Also great to see all the pros willing to drop knowledge.

[kikeligogel]

Thanks for this! Just started disc golf this summer and it's always nice to see forehand tutorials rather than basic 1000m drive tutorials, as I'm a forehand player myself. Keep up the good work sir!

[lharl]

I’ve been doing this exact form but shorting the follow through and getting so much elbow
pain. I’m shocked that you addressed how to fix that, but thank you so much. Great video

[puttdiscgolf]

Jeremy I have to say your DG commentary has really polished your presentation skills and your presence, very very well done!

Brodie I can’t thank you enough for another great video.

Thanks for calling out the warnings of getting tennis elbow on the forehand. I just started getting it and it being decently painful on the course when regularly throwing forehands and now I'm nursing it, trying to get it back up before I lean into it again.

[captainbornfree]

This video is almost at a million views! Nice to see Big Jerm sharing his skills and knowledge. He has that effortless flick style that is accurate and easy on the joints. I recently had to change my form because the stress on the elbow. I don't throw as far now but accuracy has improve and no joint pains. I am looking into this style which is even less effort for nearly the same results im getting now. I am glad Brodie caught this session of Jeremy at the Beast it is good reference material in the quest for smooth accurate forehand game.
