What up everyone? Today we'll be talking about touch shots. All right, so touch and disc golf is one of the most important aspects that we have. It is very underrated I believe because if you can get up and down from 200 250 ft, it's very important. It's going to save you strokes. It'll also take a lot of pressure off of your putting which in turn will have less stress and you'll throw better. So overall good in general. But today I'll be talking about a few different kinds of touch shots. So, I'm going to go over some different nose angles, some different disc stabilities, and also some of the things that I think about whenever I'm throwing touch shots on the course. All right, so the first thing I want to talk about is the grip. We got to build a foundation so that way we can eventually go into shot shaping and then also kind of like nose angle and stability of the disc. I use a four-finger power grip and the thumb is generally about there in terms of the flight plate. And to get the nose up, I'm really pushing my thumb down, keeping the elbow low and the wrist high. Other grips I've seen is kind of like a fan grip like that or like a putting grip. Another thing you can kind of do to cheat the nose angle is set it a little more nose up in your hand. That way when you're lining up, it's more like that. And that's easy to really get the thumb pushed down into the disc and get the nose up flight. So I got two links right here. These are dead straight putters. And I'm going to show you guys the difference between a dead straight shot that's kind of nose down and a straight shot that is nose up. So, the goal here with the touch shot is to be able to throw it nose up and have it slow down and kind of fall to the ground. Now, that's not always the case, but in general, if you can kind of throw a full shot, but still get it to slow down and come in soft to the green, that'll overall help you on a multitude of greens. It's a pretty big word. Big word counter number one. Here we go....
