Throwing with the arm is one of the most common mistakes a disc golfer makes, especially beginner and intermediate players.

When we pick up a disc, our natural inclination is to throw it… with our arm.

This is the worst thing you can do!

But all hope is not lost. Here’s how to know if you’re throwing with you arm and how you can fix it

How to know:
pain in shoulder, forearm, elbow
Not soreness from overuse—pain!
Release point is inconsistent
Losing balance—spinning like a top

How to fix it:
1. Engage hips
2. Focus on using your back to spin and follow through
3. Bring your trail arm into your side BEFORE the disc crosses your chest
4. Leave your throwing arm loose

You’re going to have to break a ton of habits to get this right, so it will take some time. But with focused practice and recording your form, you can get rid of arm pain and throw the disc farther and faster!
