Throwing Over Trees in Disc Golf

Video Transcript

Thanks for joining me on Expert Village. All shots are great if you use them at the correct time and the correct place. Most shots will be a backhand throw or a forehand throw. We're going to talk about when there's a big tree between you and the basket and there's no way to get to it except over the top. There's two options. In another segment, we talked about forehands. How we hold the forehand is typically with 2 fingers. Thats the way most people will use it or put their fingers in. Instead of throwing a forehand though, we're going to throw it over the top. Similar to a baseball being thrown. So let's see how that looks. We're going to throw it over that tree right there. Basket is over there. Listen for the chains. Oh, just missed. The other one is a thumber. Hold it like that with the thumb in and you throw it very similar. Something i should point out is you can make some slight variations. If you want to make this turn to the left...If the basket is tucked in some bushes or some trees to the left, you can throw it and it'll slide in there. Okay, let's see what a thumber looks like throwing it over the tree. Listen for the chains again. Just missed. That's the tomahawk and the thumber.
