How to Get MORE DISTANCE in Disc Golf

How To Get More Distance Disc Golf

Have you ever thrown some of your discs in a field, only to find that many of them attain similar distances…How could that be? Why aren’t the faster-speed discs going further than the slower-speed discs?

Although there could be many reasons for this, one main contributor is that the disc is being released with its nose pointed upwards rather than parallel to the ground. So today on JustDisc, we want to discuss nose angles followed by tips for how you can learn to throw your discs nose down to get more distance.

Therefore, throwing a disc NOSE-UP will get you:
-More control but less distance
-More stability (i.e. more fade)

Throwing a NOSE-DOWN will get you:
-Less control but more distance
-Less stability (i.e. more turn)

Tips to keep that nose angle down to get more distance

1) Avoid Trying To Help The Disc
2) Keep The Wrist Angle Down
3) Follow Through (i.e. shift weight forward)
4) Pull Through Just Below Chest

This has easily been the most informative yet easy to understand distance video on YouTube

[lukekivell]

Course shots at Paris ontario 👀 my favourite local course!

[rays]

I just went out today and threw my entire bag stuck around 200' and this video is exactly what I needed to understand what I'm doing wrong. Thank you!

[johnhall]

Probably the most concise definition of "nose down" I've ever heard. Thank you. "Nose down" means "parallel to ground". Is this true with throwing on slopes, whether uphill or down? Great video, new subscriber well-earned!

I was struggleing with my drives early on this year and decided to make a small change to my grip and it has helped me so much. I used to have a very "standard" powergrip where the rim of the disc would would be snugg right inbetween my thumb and index finger. Then I made a small adjustment so now if you imagine putting your thumb and pinky together, then you follow that crease up and between your middle and index finger, and from there wrap your fingers around the rim. I don't know why but doing this I found it much easier to control my angle...

[techranger]

Amazing video… nose angle is by far my biggest issue right now. I like the pouring coffee idea. Thanks as always and keep up the great content

[chrisschuster]

Momentum is HUGE! It’s still a work in progress for me. Weight transfer. Spinning those hips and turning on my weight on the brace heel. It’s hard. So many things to think of. PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE

[blndrs]

This has been a known problem for me for so long, but I never knew how to fix it. Thanks for the great tips and practical ways to make an improvement. :)

[hildiedube]

Excellent tips, I can’t wait to see my distance improved! Thanks again!

[williaminkley]

Great video. Content is always solid, thank you for putting the time in.

[susanjervis]

[atsuchiya]

[donald]

Well done! Thanks for the top quality production and the easy to understand DG lessons.

[markbuonagura]

Excellent tips, going to the practice field tomorrow and try these tips.

[kbkarlisbriedis]

I have to say!! Thank you JustDisc !! I am a disc golfer that is entering his first real summer season. I started last fall, putted in the garage all winter, hit the park field with new plastic, staying away from drivers and having FUN! You do a fantastic job at explaining, comparing, coaching and educating! Thank you - Merci! >>>|||<<< KB

[JacobLikesMusic]

Gonna try these tips out! I've seen other helpful tips not covered in this video, but overall I feel like this is the best video on the angle subject!

[WawakGuitar]

Finally someone making sense. Going to try this

[roldog]

Love this! This makes so much sense to me. Thank you! Ima practice this tomorrow.

[davidtirado]

Great tips, I'll be sure to apply them!!

High front angle above 30° is an air brake. Use it as needed. But for distance, a 10 degree angle up is plenty. Less if in the wind.
