My approach

Form first,
distance later.

The technique I teach is the technique I rely on in competition. It's the same one I coach to collegiate athletes. Three steps, in order.

1

Fix the grip & sequence

We start where strokes actually leak: a grip that locks the disc and a motion that fires in the right order.

2

Groove a snap you trust

Standstill reps for clean spin. No firehose of tips — just the two or three things that hold up under pressure.

3

Then chase distance

Once the form repeats, distance is just a faster version of a motion you already own. Score lower, not just throw harder.
