I hacked into Jake Regeir's server yesterday and downloaded the following information...I hope you enjoy this reading as much as I did.
Jake says good footwork will lower your score...now you can read about his methods and experience the same footwork success that Jake exemplifies.
Footwork
by Jake Regeir
The best performance by a Disc Golf player is the management, organization and mixture of leg activities. As compared to the steps taken, footwork is much more important. One is required to have a good sense of gap and correct leg movements which are achieved by having high level of presentation. Stretching out your arm in any way does not denote that it is right. When the player plays the stroke properly and uses his feet to acquire the momentum of the disc, he has the power to move the disc from the body to the arm and to influence the disc simply and precisely. The best posture of legs cover essential suitable leg movements first is awareness of the steps second is prescience third is the arrival to all set posture and last physical robustness.
The leg actions both close and far to the tee pad or lie should be related with small side steps. A quick sidestepping movement gives players the ability to think quickly and see the disc path easily without losing balance. The first method for this type of movement is attained through certain drills in which the player is aware of the movements of the ball in advance. An example of such an action is the renowned �X� step pattern. A regular guidance involves proper functioning of the footwork. This is accomplished with drills where the player is not aware of the movement of the disc in advance.
It is useless to talk about good footwork without considering player's ability towards the direction of the target. This key factor defines the difference between a good player and an intermediate level player. Few players have high foresight and fast comebacks whereas others are missing in this part.
A new way to develop footwork is to study the positions which the flight path prefers in his/her game and take up a position thereafter. Mostly the offensive participants move about 70% of the footwark with the backhand whereas the rest 30% is covered by the forehand.
Overall health is also key factor for an excellent footwork. An acceptable potency on both legs aids the player to move faster from side to side and take the best location for the subsequent stroke. Waist stability helps the player to maintain the body balance mainly in practical strokes.
Movement of Legs throughout the return of service is essential factor in the method. The legs movement is related with the player's technique like he is offensive, cynical, and also on his powerful strokes and the release point.
Players who apply these techniques to their existing footwork should see immediate results.
I have a monthly clinic breaking down everything I mentioned. The cost is $5 per person (cost of a mini tournament) and as always I personally teach the ladies for free, one-on-one of course.
