    I’ve been working the same drills and everything is coming together for me as well. Better lines, longer distance and more accuracy!

    We’ll be shooting more of these once it gets nice again. I really want to cover hitting good lines, shot selection and course management.

    Great Video. I did these drills for about 90 minutes, starting with the “hit” and working back as you suggest. Then going progressively with the footwork. The next round I played after doing the drills, my distance and accuracy were already improved (if only by about 30-50 feet - but still great for one day!). I even got two birdies in a row thanks to some great drives (I am a bogey player at my local course so that’s pretty good for me). Thanks again and keep them coming!

    This is the most helpful video I have seen. Dan is very thorough, collective, and easy to follow. I’ve been playing for 5 years and I feel this video will really help me fill in some gaps. I will win the coming Ice Bowl in adv. Thanks!

    I can’t wait to get out to a field and work through these drills. This is the best disc golf instruction video that I’ve found on the web to date. I’ve got about 5-6 things to tweak on my pull as a result of Dan’s instruction (6 minute video). No stupid guitar riffs, no wasted time with intros, canned graphics or fancy transitions. Dan hits the crucial areas of the drive, the slow mos are great. I wish I would have seen this video 6 years ago. I would love to get my technique looking 1/2 as good

    Thanks for making the great video. I’m new to the sport and needed a guide to driving properly. I’m gonna start implementing these drills and hopefully gain some distance and accuracy. I like how you broke the motion, and showed simple drills to work on.

    This is the most practical step by step video on how to drive that I have ever seen. Why couldn’t Discraft with all their professionally done videos have done a PRACTICAL driving video like this????

    one of the best form video’s out there. I saw the link posted on a discgolfreview board. I’ll have to try all of those pointers out. Thanks! I also agree with starting out without stepping and working up to the x-step.

    Yes, we will shoot more video on wrist extension and explain that more. Wrist extension seems to be the hardest thing to grasp for most people. I will be glad to explain this in the next video.

    Thank you for your reply! I teach people the same drills and they have always worked before and I am confident that it will work for you as well, that is why I made this video to share with everyone. These technique drills I teach are from what I have been taught and have gathered from the forms of the best players in the world such as Steve Brinster and Walter Haney as well as many other pros like Climo and Feldberg.

    Good luck!

    Well I hope this video helps you get out of the 380′ plateau into the 430′+ =)

    Thank you for watching and we will make more videos to come soon!

    This is one of the best videos I have ever seen in regards to making me understand what was wrong with my form.

    I never used my back foot to aid in the acceleration and turn, but after watching how you do it, it made total sense.

    Every course I play is under about two feet of snow right now so I’ll have to wait a couple of months to test out the real benefit. But I have been practicing that form.

    GREAT VIDEO!

    Not to be redundant, but great vid. I am stuck at that 380′ plateau and the section on acceleration made a lightbulb go off over my head, very nice.

    Thanks for posting this vid MB!

    Phenomenal video. This is hands down the best disc golf driving vid I’ve seen in terms of proper form and technique. The simple break down of how and what to work on during field practice is what EVERY beginner (and most intermediates) needs to see and work on. Can’t wait for the more specific vid from these guys that focuses on wrist extension, etc.

    Probably the most informative video I have seen on youtube. He’s actually not just showing off on how far he can drive. Nice.
