Back hand drive for distance

2. Object is to throw disc into a metal basket in the least amount of shots

5. Reasons why disc golf is a great hobby
It’s for all ages
Environment
Can be played almost anywhere
Most courses are free
Easy to play (hard to master)
Cheap (about 10 euros per disc)

6. Discs
Driver (long throws)
Mid range (approach)
Putter (putting)

8. Backhand disc golf drive for distance
Throw that utilizes the entire body in a rapid of movements that must be controlled and coordinated to produce the desired result, maximum distance
Starts out smoothly and accelerates to a point of an audible snap ( disc rips out from the thrower’s hand, because of the rotation forces)

9. Grips ( power grip is for for distance throws)

10. Backhand disc golf drive for distance
Eight phases(four lower body phases and four upper body phases)
Approach
Preload
Transition
Load
Cross over
Pull
Plant
release

11. approach
Starts when the left food makes contact with the ground and ends when the left foot loses contact with the ground

12. preload First upper body phase
Upper body starts counterclockwise rotation
Movement of the shoulders to prepare for the actual load phase

13. Transition Second lowerbody phase (counter clockwise rotation)
Starts when right foot makes contact with the ground
It ends the preload phase and begins the load phase

14. load
Usually starts when thrower has lost contact with the ground (during cross over)
Majority of the counterclockwise rotation takes place  upperbody rotates counterclockwise
Can be compared to a loading of a bow
Ends during the cross over phase
Head moves with the body

15. Beginning and end of the load phase

16. Cross over X-step Left leg passing behind the right leg
crossing the legs of the thrower briefly
Ends when the plant phase begins

17. Beginning and end of the cross over phase

18. pull Clockwise rotation
1. lowerbody
1.1 heel or toe
1.2 knee
1.3 pelvis
2. Upper body
Disc gains speed ( generate enough force to throw disc excess of 180 metres)
Hands comes as close to the body as possible (spin)

19. plant
Starts when right food takes contact with the ground and is ended with the rotation in a clockwise manner on that foot (begins in the middle of the pull phase)
Stopping of the forward momentum and transferring all the rotation and forward forces to the disc

20. release Disc has lost contact with the thrower (audible snap)
It is not letting go of the disc; rather the disc is accelerated to a point that the weight and speed of the disc combine to overcome the pressure of the grip
Follow through Helps disc to keep the energy (no slowing movement)
Helps not to get injuries

21. Release and follow through
