Transition from traditional golf to disc golf: stance

[monday]

Hi everyone. New to disc golf, coming from being a pretty decent "traditional" golfer. The question I have is, for a right hander, in "traditonal" golf you stand with your left shoulder forward, but the standard for a right hander in disc golf would be your right shoulder forward. I think it feels more natural to stand left shoulder forward and throw left handed, but will I be better off in the long run going with the more normal right shoulder forward right handed throw? Thanks for your insight.

Are you right-handed in everything else you do? Or do you play tennis left-handed?

Phil Mickelson is right-handed.

I have no problems hitting a golf ball from either side, I'm right handed, but I sure as heck throw a disc a lot better with my right hand. I suggest you go with your primary handedness.

Right handed in everything I do. Play tennis right handed, throw ball right handed, and golf right handed. I guess the weight transfer and pivot and everything just feels a little more natural with the left shoulder forward, but I tried throwing that way and it felt very difficult to control the release or anything with the left hand.

Welcome. Throwing with the off arm is super difficult especially at first. Disc golf backhand throw is awkward at first but it has the potential for best distance. Forehand throw has the eyes on the target all the time and the left shoulder forward when throwing with the right arm.

Thanks for the replies. That's what I figured, just wanted to see what others thought. Appreciate it.
