How to throw a golf disc golf shot?
Stand sideways to the target and place your weight on your back foot. Point your dominant shoulder at the target, in the same way as if you were hitting a baseball. This helps the golf disc to fly in a straight line. Point your feet straight in front of your body so that they form a 90-degree angle with the target.
How do you hold a golf disc?

Do you need heavier discs to throw further?
If strength is the focus of your drive, then you will want to use heavier discs for the furthest possible throws. Your aim and throw are significantly impacted by your grip, the wind-up, and the release. All players have their own style and, depending on the shot they want to make, their throw can develop too.

When thrown flat, a driver should go straight as an arrow (stable) whereas others can turn right (understable) or even fade slightly left (overstable). These intended flight patterns exist in all of the discs but today, we are going to focus on disc golf drivers.
