Your First Throw
It is important to start with a good throwing technique. While it is extremely tempting to chuck the disc as far as your strength will carry it, avoid doing so. I suggest going to your nearest disc golf course or park, find other disc golfers, and watch them throw. You can even ask them to show you the proper throwing technique and I’m sure they will be happy to help!
One of the most common struggles I see with new disc golfers is properly releasing the disc. To me it seems about half of your throw’s distance is in the “wind up” and the other half is in the flick of the wrist and releasing at just the right moment.
Hold the disc comfortably in your hand with your index finger and thumb along the outside of the disc and your other fingers against the inside rim. Hold the disc flat at shoulder height and pull it across your chest. Keep the disc flat as you extend your arm, flick and release just before your arm is completely extended.
i suggest learning with just a midrange and a putter…learn to throw them before you even try a driver and you will skip many bad habits…or at least as a trainging tool, play a round with only one midrage and your putter…learn to throw a straight level shot 9 out of ten tims, and you will be able to use drivers much more effectively..also, avoid throwing discs that are too stable and/ or heavy…unless you are throwing sidearm of course, but i have not right to speak on such a peculiar matter
