Backhand Tips Part 1
I'd first like to apologize for the weird exposure and "fogginess" on the lens. It has been super humid and I finished this video 10 minutes before a huge storm rolled in!
Anywho! I have enjoyed learning the ins and outs of the backhand form. In this episode of this tip series, I’ll be sharing how incorporating your left arm can keep you rounding but also help with shoulder and hip rotation. I hope this turns a light bulb on in your head and you head out to the field to try this. Let me know in the comments below what other tips I could share… Next up: How to angle your body when throwing specific shots.

Sibbe DGC Back 9
Переглядів 678Місяць тому
Let’s get right into the back 9! This course was not only demanding off the tee but physically demanding with the rocky terrain and elevation. We were definitely feeling the lack of sleep and hydration towards the end of the round. Overall, we had a blast playing this course. Like Colten mentioned in the video, there hasn’t been an event there this year but it looks like they could play one tom...
Sibbe DGC Front 9

On our final day in Finland we decided to play the 66th rated course on UDisc! We have heard wonderful things about this course and since it’s rated #3 in Finland, we had to. It did not disappoint! With its rocky terrain and beautifully carved fairways, it was a joy to throw plastic on this course. I wish the quality was better so you could see the flights but we do what we can when we are film...

Follow along as we play Boylan Acres Extreme DGC. I apologize there isn't more audio. The mics got messed up somewhere throughout the round. There are also times I do not get Colten's shots because either I forgot to hit play or we were on other sides of the fairway and your girl didn't want to hike over. Both Extreme and Arduous has snuck into our top 30 courses played. It is both a physical a...
OTB Open Vlog
Переглядів 1,5 тис.3 місяці тому
We always enjoy coming back to Stockton, CA for the OTB Open presented by MVP. It had everything a touring Pro disc golfer could need. My personal favorite part is that the disc golfers who travel in vehicles all get to stay on site. This brings out more putting games at the putting area and everyone socializes a lot more. The putting green they have set up for us is top notch with enough pract...
Texas States Voice Over

Come along for a fun practice round with my good friend Dani Kleidon as we prepped for the Texas State Championships presented by Lone Star Discs. I know this video is way past being relevant but I thought doing a voice over and giving more insight would be fun to watch! Let me know if you all enjoyed this and appreciated the voice over. I really enjoyed creating this video and think this might...
Lester Lorch Disc Golf Course
Переглядів 3394 місяці тому
Colten and I had the pleasure of stopping at the Lester Lorch property while we were in Texas! The property has two courses that you can play, but we chucked some discs on the Beaver course. We enjoyed the course a lot! Players of all levels could enjoy this course as long as they can hit a line and stay in the fairway. The course is well kept and very straight forward with simple tee signs. I ...

This was our first Hot KoCo Combo since 2018! We are so happy to bring these events back so we can meet fellow disc golfers and fans of ours across the country. Shoutout to Gregg Barsby and his lovely Casey Jillson for helping us get everything ready for the Combo. They helped paint lines at the course, make OB sheets and helped get the word out. We can't thank them enough for putting in the wo...
My first event back

We are only two rounds into USWDGC but I wanted to give you all a little insight into how I'm feeling as this is my first event back since surgery in October. I'm realizing I need to give myself more grace and simply just be grateful to be here and to be cancer free.

People are always curious how we make van life work and fit all the things we love and need in the Freak, I hope this video gives better insight into all of that for you! I apologize in advance for my nasally voice. Of course the week we plan on leaving for tour we both get sick. Would you do van life? What kind of adventures do you want us to capture?

Long overdue, but I’m happy to finally bring you the second to last video in our Alaska vlog series. We were so thankful to have a cozy spot at Meier Lake during those rainy day and enjoyed all the amenities the Resort had to offer!

Hot KoCo made the several hour drive from Meier Lake to check out Denali National Park. This was something Colten said he wanted to see before we came to Alaska and I’m so glad we made the trip. Only 30% of the people who visit get to actually see the mountain! Come along while we take a bus tour of the park with our amazing guide Nancy. If you like videos like this and want to see more please ...

This is the first part of a series I’ll be doing from our Alaska trip. We had the pleasure of staying on site at Meier Lake where not only did they have beautiful cabins to stay in, but a challenging disc golf course with three different layouts. Join us during our practice round with Michael and Marissa, the caretakers of the property, and our good friends Denise and Eric. We wouldn’t have mad...

Nothing new
The tip of pulling out your left arm is also intuitive and so much easier to implement than thinking about 5 different things. I don’t have to think so hard about reach back and follow through I just think about pulling my left arm back which opens the shoulder and then punching it down which helps with hip timing. Thank you it was explained so simply and effectively.
Appreciate the kind words! Thanks for watching!
So glad to see more FPO and female players making form content! I feel like it’s something we need way more of and as a FA player I so appreciate you putting this out for us Kona. Keep them coming!
I completely agree! Looking to put out the next part soon!
Don't you normally hv to be good at smthg bfr you try to instruct others how to do the same? Just saying.
She’s ranked 46 in the world. What’s your rank? That you would write that tells me a lot about you.
@@edneely for what? Women? That's like being the tallest little person. She hasn't won anything in recent times and is only a pro because her dad is one of the higher ups.
Great video! Keep them coming
Thanks Ken!
Thanks, Kona. When i first started playing years ago, I thought I had to "muscle" it for distance ~ you demonstrate here that it is more about a smooth, efficient transfer of potential energy into the disc which responds kinetically
There’s always an easier way from paint A to point B!
Uh, welcome back Kona! Really good video. I do have a question that no other form coach or pro has addressed. From the X step to the plant, I notice pros are able to move their center of mass forward, balanced, while striding out. How are they doing that? My center of mass has to be over my back leg for balance, which means when I step forward, my body is falling forward and down on to my brace. This causes a lot of issues with my pull through because I think I'm pulling flat but because I'm falling forward it's changing my launch angle
My initial thoughts are to start with some standstills and play more with the weight shift. It sounds like you are leaning forward too soon. Be patient, don’t lean back TOO far but make sure the weight shift is happening at the same time you’re pulling through. Practice standstills and get more comfortable with a more center of balance
Thank you thank you thank you!
Thank YOU for checking it out❤
Keep em' coming! ^^
Thanks for watching!!
I'm not sure she can throw far enough to understand or demonstrate how to throw properly. Her technique is not strong enough to pass it along.
How far is far enough for most FPO-players? ...most male players do not reach 400' with several years practicing form being taller. Far enough for MP40, MA2, MA3 for sure even not thinking about all the female divisions.
Study her form ~ apply whatever is useful ~ let others do the same. If nothing here is beneficial to you, explore other sources until you find what you are looking for. Leave no negative energy behind ~ it has a way of returning to you on the disc golf course when you least expect it
Pretty safe bet she is half your size...but can throw twice as far as you. Calm down
Excuse me sir, but I have had the privilege of playing with Kona and she throws far and accurate. She has the distance that is great for shaping any type of fairway.
@@spikehyzer2323 you might want to review the recent results from 2024 Worlds Distance competition in the FPO division 🥏
Is this basically the Handeye bag? Is it exactly the same?
Christmas Music ?.....That must mean your ready for the Holiday season , hope to visit with you both at that time . Good luck to you both .
Was great seeing you guys play one of my all time favorite courses! Colten was playing sick
Love from Colorado!
hole 1 tricked me so hard on this course. gave me the initial thought it was an easy/chill course but oboy was i tricked xD
oh cool we played this course also after we travelled down from tampere. hope you guys played Heinola(kippis) also since it was an amazing experience.
Any last howl shots?
Appreciated that you recorded & posted your round despite feeling tired. Nice to watch pros playing a bit more relaxed and some really beautiful throws in there. Btw you can eat those blueberries. But if you prefer to color your fingers with them that's ok too I suppose 😄
Great content. Place is beautiful.
Thank you so much. Watching you play the last 4 years has inspired me and I have good health and sincerity of purpose everyday. I had no idea how to start up playing again or what disc to use after a 22 year lapse until I watched a video you posted in 2020. I play almost everyday.
Really like vids like this... Colton's vibe early on...? Not wanting to be there??
He wanted to be there!! We were all just a little hangry and tired😂 it was a LONG day
Always appreciate the showing of areas ill never get to go 👍 Keep loving life
Forever grateful! Thanks for watching. Always send recommendations of cool courses we should film next!
You are gonna need some mics if you want to grow this channel.
I usually have mics but I honestly didn’t know if we would be doing a filmed round like this so I left them at home! Thanks for the feedback!
Oh man, i just missed you guys on the course! Would’ve absolutely howled at Colten 😂 Good luck for the rest of the season 💪🍀
No way!! Haha if you would’ve howled at Colten I would’ve died😂😂😂
Hope you enjoyed your stay here in finland 🙂
We sure did! We didn’t want to leave!
Oli hyvä, kiitos.😎
Kiitos!
Great video. Please keep them coming.
Thanks for watching!!!
Excited to see more outdoor companies like Merrell getting involved in sponsorship. I actually use their Moab 3s mainly when I disc golf but I wish their soles were flatter like zero drop shoes.
Right?! Wish we could get bigger companies like that to sponsor events in the states!
It blows my mind that Dynamic Discs still sponsors you
Thanks for taking the time to watch the video!
If you’re not going to be positive why be here? Letting all that negativity live in your head rent free.
@@hiddenleaf414 it’s not about being positive or not, it’s about delusion. There are hundreds of girls out there in the sport who truly deserve what she unfortunately has with DD. More talented and more deserving. What a shame
@hiddenleaf414 The fact that you think you’re in any position to judge or decide who should sell plastic for DD shows just how delusional you are. I hope when you and your three followers get together in your grandma’s basement, you enjoy each other’s company.
I dont understand how pro disc golfers are soo pale, you'd thnk you guys would have nice tans.
Shout out Steve for all of his work! Wonderful property and great course!
I like these kinds of videos. Gives us insight on how you prepare for the tourney. Putt is looking pretty good Kona. Lots of crazy greens on that course. Great job on your win that tournament.
Love the video! Would love to see you guys back soon. And also have the DGPT also show up! Steve has worked so hard on the property compared to what it looked like 3 years ago
ua-cam.com/video/IhMEL_xowAU/v-deo.html ...how about a little push?... ;D Also imagine all the words lost with both of them focusing on talking clearly, its sad and funny ;D
I loved watching you both tear up this gorgeous course. Ricki is life, the property is stunning and the hosts and owners are amazing. I hope to see you at other Boylan Acres events soon!
Awesome, glad you came out to enjoy Boylan Acres! Plus Ricky and Daisy made a Camino.
Great video thanks for visiting ❤
Great to hear that you are making a good recovery and hope to see you stronger than ever.
May all beings live in peace and harmony. May they have health and wealth and comforts and friends that are true. and sweet success in all that they do. May they have joy and happiness in abundance.
🥺♥️ this vlog should just be kids getting discs
First thing I see are cracs in the windshield! Ouchie! 20 minutes to go :D
try to do a few fake pumps on the basket before putting and emphasize on your wrist to get spin. i mean, worth a shot
Hope to see your elite game come back Kona. On another note your dad is a shredder with the new disc.
Such a cool video, love the insight & you 2 are awesome
The boys' reactions to getting those discs from you guys was priceless - especially the red headed one. They seemed like great young men. ❤
Kona.. my first crush in fpo!
I like that you're honest about not liking Houston. I grew up there, but it's flat, a lot of crime, a lot of traffic, and super hot and humid during late spring to early fall.
not to mention all of the blacks. No one ruins a city faster
awsome video !
Hi my name is Abrar Khan, I'm from India, my youtube channel, kabir ki dharti, I want to talk you,
I would love to see more of these reviews as you two travel!
