The problem

Sound familiar?

You swing harder and the disc goes about the same distance. Sometimes shorter. Distance is mostly a timing problem, not a strength problem.

What's inside

The kinetic chain in plain English: ground, legs, hips, torso, arm, disc
The six mistakes that quietly kill your distance
Footwork and the X-step, built in three stages
Nose angle and launch angle: why nose-up drives climb, stall and dump
Discs that match your arm (and when to move up)
A standstill-first fieldwork progression and a troubleshooting guide
Injury-aware power, plus how to measure and keep your gains

How it's built

Plain English. Honest sources.

Every lesson follows the same pattern: The Science, The Disc Dad Version, then Try This. Every claim carries a label so you know how much weight it deserves.

Disc golf research

Studies and official sources about disc golf itself.

Borrowed science

Research from other sports, clearly flagged as an inference.

Coaching consensus

What good coaches teach. Useful, not lab-proven.
