The Sidearm

I got to go Disc Golfing with Davey on Saturday, just the two of us.  He prefers a sidearm throw and I have been meaning to work on mine, so I threw only sidearms for the course.  It is a six hole course, so it doesn't take long, but it is fun.  I used the grip tips from Bugs that I posted earlier and had some really good throws.  I found this video by Avery Jenkins yesterday and am excited to try out his tips and some more grips.  He suggests 3 grips:

The split grip for precision shots
The Stacked Grip, which seems to be the one Bugs suggested.  It gives more power and is still precise.

And the power grip, not to be confused with giving someone the bird.
He gave three tips for most excellent throws and I have the summary here.
Hopefully these can help me and you improve our sidearm technique.  I recommend watching the video, he talks about his footwork and other interesting stuff.  You also get to see him throw a lot of really good shots.

  1. Hmm, I like technique tips. Thanks, Isaac. Now you need to take me disc golfing again. Maybe I'll have to start going without you. You don't take me often enough. :P
