The Myth of Disc Pivot

Dan,

What's that song in that video? Thanks.

It is actualy a song from a local group "Buffalo Alice" written by Alex Aaron, the same man who did this video but I do not know the song title unfortunately.

Dan, what are you putting with nowadays? what's in your bag in general? you've been MIA for a while now...

I am putting with KC Aviars. Yeah I have not been doing much of anything with DG lately, I was traveling a little bit last year but that was it. Went down to Iowa to play the G&L Clothing Challenge.

Is it bad to curl the disc a little toward your forearm? To try an adding a little more pivot or snap. It almost looks like Wysocki does this.

To learn snap, yes. To add snap, it doesn't do much. What you may be seeing in his throw is similar to what Timmy Gill used to do in his throw was tilting the forearm pulling back then uncorking back to normal as the pivot was happening. That adds strength.

Using that, I found this video. It must be "Dragonfly". You can hear it in the background at times. Thanks.

There we go!

I personally dig his music. It is a good way to get your music out there just throw it in a Disc Golf video.

Great music and learn how to throw-all in one

I would absolutely love to see an overhead camera view of Beto throwing. It's really hard for me to conceptualize this rail thing without seeing it in real time and I tried watching the "driving with Dan Beto" vid but it just looks like any other throw.

Here you go BrotherDave, this is a vanity video "MyThrow" shot last year and it has some angles and an overhead shot (1:58) including one in slow motion at 2:04.

Sorry it took so long!

Word, thanks brother!

Now I can't believe how much power you have, your throw is so effortless and your pivot just looks really underwhelming compared to mine. I feel like a complete failure whenever I see you throw.
