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 Predator is my main driver, I carry five of them in my bag. 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.
The Force is a money disc. 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.
The Avenger is my turnover driver. I use it for straight shot and left to right drives, its great for low ceiling because the Avenger has great speed.
Z Xtreme (174)
The Xtreme is a pig: it's the most overstable disc ever (and was discontinued because most players couldn't use it as a result). The Xtreme is my crutch, my go to, my get me out of trouble, my 350 foot and in hyzer chip disc. Super overstable, comparable to nothing! All it knows is to go left, and that's it job.
The Pulse is a freak, with tons of action. It's super fast with lots of glide and super overstable. One that's beat in just a little bit is perfect! Like a Predator that's faster with more glide!
The ESP Flash might just replace the Surge in my bag... its a sweet disc, super fast with lots of glide, When you have a wide open tee shot with a little tail wind, the Flash goes boom.
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.
