The problem

Sound familiar?

Every hole that bends right is a fight with a backhand. A simple, smooth forehand opens those holes up, without wrecking your elbow.

What's inside

How a forehand flies (it's your backhand in a mirror)
The grip, step by step
A short, smooth, elbow-first motion
Fixing wobble and the dreaded turnover
Discs you already own, and keeping your elbow happy
Forehands on the course and a four-week plan

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.
