Step 1
Assume your golf stance with a Frisbee in your right hand, (if you're a rightie). Allow both arms to dangle.
-
Step 2
Coil up the way a discus thrower coils--moving your right arm behind you, coiling your left shoulder as you "wind-up."
-
Step 3
Hurl the discus as you would for maximum distance. Realize that to hurl it any distance, you must throw from a position that is down and under, inside out. If you do the opposite--up and over--you will spin around and throw the Frisbee directly into the ground.
-
Step 4
Take your golf stance with a 7 or 8 iron. Take your back swing, but stop at the top of the swing. This is your "discus thrower's position," coiled, ready to release the energy of your "wind-up."
-
Step 5
Make a slow motion swing, thinking of how it felt to throw the discus. Since the club is actually positioned above your shoulders, you will have to drop it down so you can move it under and through the ball.
-
Step 6
See that as you move the club down and under, your hips and legs are uncoiling as well, but your right side (for righties) is moving up, while your left side is simply "clearing out"--getting out of the way.
-
Step 7
Increase the pace of your swing gradually, paying attention only to the movement of your hips and legs. Think of the swing as a dance move, a rhythmic movement through the ball.
