Robbie's Disc Golf Tips
Rethinking Your Distance
Distance in my mind is not about power, its about leverage and form. Your form is key. You cannot have an unnecessary motion in your swing, if so you're losing precious power. So get your form down first then work on the rest. Reach back as far as is comfortable: the longer your swing is the more leverage you'll have against the disc, which creates more snap which equals more distance.
Turning Practice Into Fun
Teammate Jim Davidson and I like to play a point system game using cones. Get 4 cones, place one of them where you are like a tee box, the other 3 at different distances For example 150, 280, 375 feet. Throw three discs at each target for a total of nine throws, every disc within 30 ft of its intended target counts as a point, add up your score, then try to best that score every next time you play it. Also, practice putting everyday if possible. I putt at least once a day, sometimes multiple sessions, and my putting has improved tenfold.
Is Your Grip Comfortable?
One of the most important things in disc golf is your grip. How you hold the disc is a key essential to success. You have to make sure your grip is comfortable for you, and only you. If you can't throw the disc with some crazy grip someone told you then don't use it. How does someone try and tell you how to hold the disc?? Let your natural instincts take over and go with what you feel, and what feels comfortable.

MEMORABLE DISC sports MOMENT:
Unofficially breaking the Guts World Speed Record with my throw of 134 kph. My goal is to make it official this year.
The Force is a money disc and my go to driver. Every time I throw it all I see are dollar signs. The Force goes bigger than anything in my bag, super huge hyzer flips and big turnover lines, also have a beat one for super long rollers 500+ feet.
I carry a beefy Predator at all times. Great utility disc. My Newest Z is for big hyzers and head winds. Beat-in Z is for flat hyzers and soft flex shots. Chewed up Z is for big flex shots. I use the ESP for thumbers and overhand shots and my other for big distance shots. The Predator is a very great disc, super fast and super beefy, great for long hyzer shots.
