Good walk defined:
PHD's Study on disc golf
yields intriguing findings

As a nation, we simply do not walk very much. We tend to watch TV, drive our cars and sit at our computers. When we choose to walk rather than sit, we burn more calories and our hearts have to work a bit harder. If we keep walking, our bodies adapt to this kind of good stress and we become physically fitter. Ideally, a person should walk around 10,000 steps a day to maintain a healthy level of fitness. With support from the PDGA, the first nation-wide research study to examine disc golf and physical activity is complete. More

"Heave H.O.E." DVD
was recently featured on May 2006 (episode #11)
of Disc Golf Live. (seen in these cities.)

"The Heave H.O.E. method is an excellent example of teaching beginners how to throw a disc. I have been disc golfing for some time, and for months I was unable to properly teach my daughter (age 12) how to throw a disc. Like Motodom.com says, "in 25 min of watching this DVD," you can learn to throw a disc. My daughter, on her 3rd throw after watching Heave H.O.E., threw a 150 gram Innova disc 175 feet! She thinks Heave H.O.E. is great. Thanks Motodom for a wonderful teaching tool." Errol C. Grapevine, TX

Creators of Heave H.O.E. DVD are also PDGA tour officials and
PDGA tournament directors.

If you are new to disc golf, this one tip (below) will compensate you for a very frustrating thing which happens when almost all beginners throw a golf disc. This tip will help you immensely.

The problem exists because golf discs naturally fly with a sharp curve- away from the intended target. The tip (below) will correct a beginner's throw so the disc flies straight towards the target on every throw. The results for a new disc golf player should be saving at least one stroke per hole - or at least 18 strokes per round of 18 holes!

What?
The problem arises because golf discs are unusual objects- in one way. If you throw them using the same angle of release every time, but change the amount of power or snap , the disc will go from flying perfectly straight for one degree of power or snap , to flying totally off target (veering sharply) -just because of a change in the amount of power or snap you use. So for example, when a "pro" puts a little more power into a throw to make a long drive, the angle of release is adjusted for the increase in power . Similarly, if a "pro" is having to make a shorter drive - using less power- the angle of release is adjusted again.

Why?
Nearly all beginners use the same amount of power and snap on every throw, however they almost always use an angle of release which is more specifically suited for throws made with more power and snap than a beginner can do. Therefore nearly all beginners release their disc at an angle which immediately makes their disc veer off target - and it will continue to do so until they either adjust their angle of release (as visualized for you below) or until they do learn how to increase the power and snap . ((The links for power and snap will connect you to an instructional throwing DVD called "Heave H.O.E." - a proven time-saving DVD of secrets needed for a straight and long forehand, backhand and skipping of a disc.))

.........................As for the tip here about making your disc fly straight.......Enjoy!

Now first, the root of this tip. Most beginning disc golfers try to throw their disc on a plane that is level to the ground and perpendicular to their body.

Now, INSTEAD of the disc leaving the hand parallel (level) with the ground, it needs to be tilted slightly at an angle that is not level to the ground. (Based on what your amount of power or snap is, you may want to tilt slightly more or less.. But almost always a beginner needs this angle of release shown below.)

So if the thrower will make the adjustments suggested below for each throw, the new "non-level" angle of release (technically called "anhyser" in the disc world) will compensate for the disc's tendency to veer..

How?
Please excuse the crude pictures below, but with only a little imagination, each picture can explain this crucial concept for beginners. In the diagrams below, there is one for each type of thrower and throw, i.e. right-handed backhand verses left-handed forehand etc. You will see an enlarged picture of the disc and it's slight angle to use at release. The "X" in each picture is simply to represent a target in the distance. The grip of the disc should accommodate for the disc being at the angle near what is displayed in the diagram.

Remember, the following diagrams will demonstrate the ideal disc-angle of release for a beginner's disc golf throw. This angle will flatten out during the flight of most golf discs, on its way to the target, rather than starting level and veering away from the target.

This is the most common throw for right handers and it starts with gripping the high-side edge of the disc in the picture above - and then releasing the disc to fly at that angle through the air towards the target.

This is the most common throw for left handers and it starts with gripping the high-side edge of the disc in the picture above - and then releasing the disc to fly at that angle through the air towards the target.

This throw starts with gripping the low-side edge of the disc in the picture above - and then releasing the disc to fly at that angle through the air towards the target.
