welcome back to gatekeeper media's new year's resolutions it is january 11th and today we're going to complicate the game from yesterday a little bit yesterday we worked on being able to throw hyzers with overstable discs through a gap with both backhand and forehand today i want to focus on being able to throw a turnover shot with a flippier disc to go through that same kind of gap use a field goal use a soccer goal get yourself to a throwable distance where you can still command the discs break pretty well like we talked about yesterday this soccer goal at this angle is pretty narrow so if we have the disc coming and going through it more straight on it's going to make the effective width wider and this is a lot like playing a woods fairway where you need to throw kind of out and around and break a shot in the real objective to this drill is to take the information that you see about what your disk is doing at the gap and then kind of work backwards let your subconscious develop the awareness and refine what to do with your throw whether that's angle height spin velocity anything like that something you can modulate can make your throws more accurate and repeatable you can vary your disk choice for speed stability anything like that that makes this more complex vary your distance vary the severity of this angle and try to school up so that was clearly too high but if i take that information about what factors led to that shot being too high and driven and adjust on my next shot with an additional awareness of how to make the shot work at the gap then i win the game most people are a little more reliant on stability to throw their forehands but being able to throw a shot that's moving from right to left and then flexing out at the end is still pretty essential so don't discount being able to throw a turnover or a flex shot with your forehand as well
