When you are playing disc golf, there will be a lot of things that you will need to learn about throwing your discs in order to improve your game, but perhaps the most important element of all when it comes to disc golf is knowing how to throw a disc perfectly straight for a long distance. This might seem as though it would be exactly as easy as it sounds (after all, it would seem like it would be more difficult to make a disc curve than to make it fly straight!), but this is the one aspect of disc golf that tends to give people the most trouble, and even if you are simply playing disc golf “for fun” and are not all that competitive, you will likely have a lot more fun when you are actually playing well.

In order to throw a disc golf frisbee far and straight, the first thing you will need to do is start with the disc itself perfectly level; this seems quite obvious on the surface, but if you examine your starting stance next time you go out to fling around the disc, you just may find that you are actually starting with the disc at a slight tilt, and by correcting this mistake you can make your disc far more likely to fly straight.

Once you have adjusted your starting stance so that the disc is level from the beginning, you will want to make sure that the disc remains level as you torque your body and cock your arms to throw; keep everything as “straight” as possible as you wind up for the throw, and the throw itself will come out straight as well.

And as you become more adept at throwing the disc straight, you should aim to work on straightness first, and to add distance over time, as it will be easier to continue adding distance onto a straight throw than it would be to try and straighten out a long throw.

When you take these tips with you onto the disc golf course (and when you remember to always throw low to the ground, instead of causing the disc to rise!), you will soon find that it is a whole lot easier for you to get those long, straight throws!
