5 Backhand Tips I WISH I Knew 4 Years Ago | Disc Golf Tips for Distance, Accuracy & Consistency
After 4 years of trial and error, I’m finally sharing the 5 core backhand tips that completely transformed my disc golf game (there is also a 6th bonus tip at the very end). From struggling with inconsistency and short distances to gaining better power, accuracy, and control, these are the lessons I wish I knew when I started.
In this video, you’ll learn:
✅ How to avoid releasing nose-up
✅ The power of engaging your left shoulder
✅ Why your run-up should be diagonal, not straight
✅ How to keep your arm at chest height for consistency
✅ The perfect release point (10 o’clock rule)
✅ A bonus tip from Tristan Tanner that changed everything
Whether you’re just starting or looking to improve your backhand throw, these game-changing tips will level up your form and performance. I’ll show my own progress, comparing past throws with current ones, to prove these tips work!
