Glad to see ya on here. Lots of good tips can be found here. Keep trying to throw flat and listen to the forehand master Mark Ellis. Sounds like you are getting some good snap with that forehand. See ya at the meeting tonight if you can make it.

I never really stopped playing. BUt, there has been times that my playing comes to a hault during the winter. So far I have played more this winter then all others combined, except for maybe my first couple of years.
However, since I started my student teaching last week I do not forsee much golf until the days get longer

On this forehand shot I can see the bottom of the disc so you are rotating your wrist on your backswing. It may be easier to keep the top of the disc pointing up (at the sky) during the entire throw. Try it.

Forehands have a small margin of error so they are a thousand hours of practice to control the various routes. Releasing flat and clean is the starting point to mastering the trickier shots.

Think of your arm motion as a straight line. You pull back, snap forward then follow through. The straighter a line your arm motion makes the closer you are to throwing flat. Work on flat. Your body should be balanced, your arm motion smooth and flat. Your release should be clean so there is little flutter. Watch the flight of the disc. The disc will tell you whether you have thrown it flat.

Worry about power later. Start with flat, balanced and smooth.

Have someone watch your shots to tell you if you doing this.

Good luck.

At 12:31am on January 5, 2009, Kazuhiko Gomibuchi said…: It has understood well from gentle English.
It is safe.
However, because it is not possible to use it if it is not Disc of 152g or
less in Japan, is it still good?
Please send details with mail.

At 11:58pm on January 4, 2009, Kazuhiko Gomibuchi said…: Thank you for the answer immediately.
It is not because I am not good at English, and all things that you say can be understood.
I am sorry.
By the way, what is the meaning of "a killer Japanese golf disc? " though it is immediately a question?
I am sorry, please teach gently.
