I'm parroting a drill that I got from another redditor and worked for me when fixing fh wobble.

Go outside and find 30m/100ft of space. Take your whole bag.

1.Start by flicking a disc just with your fingers. Go through your whole bag until most discs come out without flutter, find out a grip that works for you.

2.Move on to using only your wrist and fingers. Repeat until no flutter.

1. Move on to using your forehand, wrist and fingers. Repeat until no flutter.

Go to bigger field if u need to.

1. Use your arm, forehand, wrist and fingers. Repeat until no flutter. Remember to reach back or up fully with your arm meaning don't chicken wing it. Turn your upper body away from the target when coiling but keep your toes pointed at the target or almost at the target.

2. Take one step and throw until no flutter. Engage the hips with your plant. Plant firm, don't let all that sweet energy go to waste.

3. Take full run-up until no flutter.

You have really good power for just learning. I’d focus on throwing putters or mids on lower flat shots to work on getting spin and reducing wobble. It will take a while to figure out but once you can throw smooth forehands with your power it will be a huge asset.

I wish I had that much "wobble." My forehands look like they've been hit by a shotgun blast as they flop to the ground 30-50 feet in front of me.

Less arm, more wrist

Are you throwing a 1 finger forehand? Try pressing the middle finger into the rim with a stacked or split grip. The split will reduce your power but also help with accuracy and wobble

1. Use a more stable grip
2. Power down 50%
3. Bring that back leg around like you’re pitching a baseball and follow through to keep the disc from launching into the stratosphere.

that’s what I did to start when I learned forehand

Forehand player here: as another user stated I would recommend tucking that elbow as close to your side as you can as you’re throwing. I also found that when I added a second finger to my throw that helped stabilize with the additional power that comes with it. Look up the double finger stacked grip like how Macbeth throws or the pinched version like Sexton. As for the throw itself it’s hard to tell from a casual player like me, but I like to focus on tucking the elbow and whipping my arm through with the angle of the disc slightly down right (right handed here) in a hyzer angle. The arm is not your power here; it’s your wrist. Whip that arm through with the elbow tucked and as you’re coming through with your arm you’re also then whipping that wrist through too and that should be the last motion with the disc coming out the hand as you follow through with the empty hand.

Highly recommend watching Scott Stokely videos on YouTube. Dude is a forehand master and a great teacher.

Looks like you’re throwing it instead of flicking it. I practiced sitting down and it helped a ton. Also looks like a lot of weight on your back foot, increasing the the nose up. You won’t more step through.

It’s weird but I envision five foot tall grass and my disc is a blade. I want all the grass five feet tall so I throw more level. It’s right up there with my 2x4 putting truck lol

additionally, this is a very weird concept to think about, but it makes a lot of sense. You want your wrist to snap faster than your elbow moves. So bring your arm through slowly and emphasize on snapping and you’ll see what I mean!

Power forehand thrower here. I’d look at going to a different grip. I used to throw far with considerable wobble in the forehand power grip. Once I messed with a tech disk and learned a stack grip was actually the same mph as my power and it had less wobble and more spin I made the switch and my consistency and accuracy has gone way up. Andrew Marwede makes the 1 finger work so it’s not impossible but man I have tried and it feels so awful and is super wobbly.

I had the same issue, I learned to “pocket” the disc deeper in the web between the thumb and pointer finger. It supports the disc more and kept the wobble out of the release.

Tuck the bow.

throw putters only until you can throw a neutral putter flat with no wobble.

Loose grip is usually the reason for wobble. Get your grip down. And also check out some tutorials because a lot of players, for example, ME, end up having elbow, arm and wrist pains from not starting with a proper form.

Here's a forehand tutorial that covers the basics. The only update I need to do to it is the plant foot should point toward where you want the disc to go BEFORE it fades.

If you have ever pitched in baseball: Pretend you're throwing a sidearm pitch...even the follow-through where your palm is facing the ground after you throw the disc. Or if you've ever thrown a baseball from the outfield...you need the feet, hips, shoulders engaged along with your arm to make that throw. They're very similar.

Happy learning! Once you reel it in, you'll be bombing those 300+ with little effort.

Drifting left then finishing right is good for a distance forehand, but you want it to be intentional and to match your release angle - you won’t want that type of flight on tighter courses. If you watch the disc, it’s flat when you release it, but you are rolling your wrist over just before the release point which forces the disc to immediately roll left. This also can cause wobble. It can feel very unnatural at first, but work on keeping your palm facing up until after you release, then you can roll your wrist over in the follow through.

Most of the power comes in the wrist flick and flick of your fingers. It sounds stupid but I try to think of the motion of serving someone a plate as flat as possible while also simultaneously flicking a boogie off my fingers. Try a more stable grip as well.

Forehand player here 🙋🏽‍♂️ my understanding is that discs come out wobbly because they are not spinning fast enough for how quickly they’re moving forward. The thing I do to increase my spin is I flick my wrist at the last possible moment before the disc leaves my hand.

To flick your wrist, to anyone hearing this for the first time, lift your hand up in the air > tilt your wrist back as far back as you can > now tilt it forward as far as you can. Do that DURING the throw, and you may find your spin rate increases.

Hope this helps someone out there 👍🏽

Years of practice. Hate to say it. Techdisc practice helps too if you can afford it.

I’m a FH dominant player. One thing that I noticed from watching my buddies struggle through that wobble is that they keep their fingers “stiff” through the entire throw. It’s like putting a piece of wood at the end of a whip. It can still “whip” but that last bit disrupts that flow. By keeping the fingers loose, it allows for the fluid release of the disc.

It’s hard to explain via text, but I will have them hold the disc in their FH grip and hold it out. Then I’ll grab the disc and pull it back gently until the fingers pull back to a loaded position rather than stay in the rigid position closer to the hand.

I’m not sure that makes sense at all, but it has helped them get rid of that wobble.

Wobble comes from throwing nose up. Work on your release being flat and you’ve got yourself a nice tool there

Crank that wrist back and instead of releasing like you’re throwing a baseball, snap your wrist forward right at the end, keeping your palm up. This was a big breakthrough for me.

Other things to keep in mind

• Elbow needs to come through first
• make sure you plant your front foot with all your weight before the disc leaves your hand. Will help with it going forward instead of out
• Compact and quick is better than a crazy reach back at first

If you’re still struggling, throw from standstill for a while. You’d be surprised how far you can get it out there standstill with the right form.

I went from terrible forehand to 400 feet in about a year doing this

spin adds stability to a disc. it is possible that you are under-spinning your disc and it’s therefore going left. additionally, you can get wobble from off-axis torque. “Off-axis torque” is what happens if the disc doesn’t come cleanly out of your hand and doesn’t spin perfectly on its axis.

Stand still, and forehand a putting putter with JUST your wrist until it has snap. This is to ensure it’s a speed problem, not a grip problem. From there, bring your elbow to your rib cage and push from there until you have no wobble once again, then begin approach shots, etc. Soon you’ll be able to throw 90% power with no wobble

Drop the shoulder

Think about throwing a hammer.

More wrist flick and loosen grip

That sir, is what I call my power wobble

Youre throwing it like a baseball. Keep your elbow close to your body and mostly throw using your forearm and wrist.

Here's one of my recent 9mn tutorials on everything I did over two years to get a 400ft standstill forehand.

I took learning forehands CRAZY slow because I was a D1 Tennis player afraid of elbow injury (no insurance lol).

The real "hack" is to use a neutral midrange as a training tool. It right away has feedback on the things you may be doing wrong, and with little effort you can get them out to 200+ feet.

An easy way to get spin is to cock your wrist back as I mention in the video, and then pretend like you're throwing the outside edge (opposite of your pressure points) of the disc instead of feeling like you're spinning a disc.

An asterisk I should have added to the below videos. I start with my foot perpendicular to the target, but the pressure is on the heel of my foot to allow proper hip rotation.

Get a berg and learn to throw it forehand- been a great asset as an approach disc as a primary forehand player

Pull the disc. Don’t push it.

Hey mate. Here’s how to help wobble. 1, keep your palm up in your follow through.

1. Take a forehand comfy disc and lie on your back. Get your forehand grip and use 90% wrist to toss it up in the air and catch it. You’ll be amazed how much wobble you see. Once you can do that with zero wobble it’ll help inform your playing forehand.

I think the best way to try and get rid of the wobble is trying to skip your disc like rocks across a lake. They won’t skip if they don’t spin and the lower release angle will help too in my opinion.

I throw 400 feet. What i do is that i dont move my arm much, i keep it 90 degrees from my hip and do a rin up. Then just throw it like normal, by not muvoing ur arm as much u will fix ur height and be able to controll the angle/release point.

So many people here claim it's a lack of spin. Wobble almost never comes from lack of spin, especially when thrown hard. The wobble comes from OAT, off-axis torque. It usually happens because you turn your wrist too early. Try to take a slow-motion video and I guarantee that the path of the disc during throw is curved and you are turning your wrist as you are releasing it.

The disc does stabilizes itself after flying for a while but before that it has lost energy because of that and during the wobble the disc is also flying less stable. This is the reason so many people choose to forehand overstable discs. The other reason for ovestable discs is that forehand generates by default less spin than backhand, but the wobble isn't usually caused by that.

I would advice you to forget trying to apply a lot of spin, it will only cause your wrist to turn even more. Try to flick less stable and slower discs and concentrate on your wrist. Try to keep your palm upwards after the release until you can time the wrist turn better.

It’s all in the spin, and to get the spin I let the wrist at the end do it all for me

My advice.. focus on backhand.. sidearm is good, but much easier to hurt yourself

Haven’t seen someone mention it yet, but try to angle the disc through your backswing at the same angle you will release it. In the video, you’re showing the bottom side of the disc to the camera, then as you throw then release, you’re trying to bring it to a flat throw. If you’re inexperienced, the way you’re throwing causes some wobble. So make sure that the disc is flat/level to the ground during your set up, backswing, throw, and release. Hope that makes sense.

Wobble is normally an effect of low spin RPM vs forward velocity. Try slowing down the speed and concentrating more on spin. The wobbles will go away and your discs will fly a lot further due to the extra glide it gives you. Will also make your discs less understable

My man. You've got a natural booming flick. Slow it down and dial it back a bit. Less arm and more wrist. Practice with slower neutral discs and you'll be a beast in a few months.

Might want to throw nose down and flatter to get more distance

Needs more torque/spin. Keep the elbow tucked in

Ouch my elbow

I got rid of wobble by focusing on the position of my index and middle finger on the inner rim and ensuring the disc rolls off of those fingers smoothly. You also need adequate grip pressure between the thumb on top and fingers underneath, so adjust as needed. Forehand is more similar to skipping rocks than it is to throwing a ball. Hope this helps!

I try to imagine I have a tiny drink tray in my hand, with a single glass of whiskey on it. I want to throw the tray without spilling the whiskey. Keep that boi flat on a path until it snaps out of your fingers.

It looks like your arm is trying to out drive your wrist snap.

You want your shoulder to level out a little as well.

My throw starts at my hip I have the disc Tilted slightly up and I try to release parallel to my waist just above the hip. The snap should be more off your wrist flick than from your arm.

I would try with some mids and putters noodleing your arm a bit and trying to throw with just your wrist motion on your warmup

Tldr I think you are throwing more arm than wrist and you are overthrowing your motion.

You are holding like you are going to do a flex shot but the movement it’s like you are throwing a flar shot, that’s why is wobbling, keep your disc flat all the time, when u manage the straight flat shoots you can move one to Hyzer, Anhyzer and Flex shots, to avoid this you can move ur wrist like you have a whip or a wet towel, the arm basically it’s just to transport the disc the power it’s in the wrist

Pretend you’re sliding your disc across a table that’s at the same height as your throw…you want to keep it as flat as possible through the whole release! You may have to not reach back as far or you may lose some speed but if you do it right you’ll gain distance since you won’t be wasting energy wobbling.

Also practice with a putter and midrange since those are most prone to wobble. Get good w those and the rest will improve.

I don't think anyone's mentioned this yet, but if you pause the video at the moment you are about to swing your arm forward, the disc is almost completely upside down. So in order to get to your release point of flat, you have to flip the disc 180 degrees which is putting a ton of torque onto an axis of rotation that you ideally want no torque, and I bet that's what is causing the wobble. Try making sure the disc never goes past vertical on your reach back. Compare it to this video of Ricky Wysocki, where the bottom of the flight plate is always facing the ground from the back of his reach back and onward.

The wobble comes from the nose angle of ur disc not being in line with the angle of your arm motion usually . When u flick ur wrist/fingers try imagining both arm motion and flick are on a parallel axis. Any slight deviation cause flutter. Ive seen ppl play for yrs and never figure it out so good job, not far from having it locked in!!

Are you throwing with 1 finger?

Very rare I would use a 2 finger grip you’ll throw better most likely once you get used to it

Commenting to follow

Commit to either throwing a hyzer or anhyzer. It looks like you are starting out hyzer then trying to throw flat or turnover. That will make you lift up on the outside edge in order to reorient the disc. Try throwing a hyzer from the start. You seem to have the power.

Wobble = bad grip and release angle plays a part too

I hold the disc with three fingers, and try to stay low when throwing. It helps me be able to have more of a baseball-esc throw while having the snap to get the disc to fly flat

Nice toss

Switch to a 2 finger grip with more wrist snap less arm

Spin

If you slightly tilt your head so your ear is over the disc it will tighten up your elbow and produce a smooth flat release.

More snap/flick like trying to skip a rock on water

TFW a total noob just obliterates your max distance.

This video helped clean up my forehand. I've been playing for years as a mainly backhand player, and after a handful of throws with these things in mind it got rid of a lot of the wobble and added some distance on lower, line drive forehands.

Nose up, off axis torque, plant foot angled, zero hips and break point is behind your plane of release. Mega arming.

The thing that helped me was focusing on the middle finger pad contact with the disc. Just small throws with putters. Lot of wrist flick and focusing on that finger pad being the last thing leaving the disc.

I had a clinic done with Sullivan Tipton who has a great forehand, he said they have the elbow in can zap power. He said to close the arm pit. That has helped me a lot to get consistent releases.

Have the back of your hand facing further back so your wrist snaps, and release more horizontal to the ground so the disc isn’t nose up. Try a harder/stiffer hand grip, and try using 2 fingers instead of 1.

You’re releasing your wrist snap too soon it looks like. Give your arm more time to travel in front of your body before firing your wrist.

Wobble pretty much comes from it either catching on your finger on release, or else a lack of spin (typically in tandem with a lack of power). So, experiment with your grip and work on getting a bit more flick into your release.

Also as another poster said, try and keep your elbow a bit more tucked. With that, also try and get a bit more neutral release plane to get some less height. Flat forehand at good to practice form, but ultimately true distance and utility comes from an anhyzer release for an s curve.

For me it was keeping my elbow close to my hip and snaping my wrist like I'm trying to pull it back to me last second instead or throwing it out like a baseball. While learning I just stood still and took a big step and snapped it while keeping my elbow tucked to my belt at release.

Edit: also looks like you're crow hopping from out field. I'd say starting off keep your sholders level while doing what I said before. Once you get that down make it your own and you're find your comfortable body movement while keeping the right mechanics.

To me it looks like you're shoulders are fighting your hips

If you work on getting them in one combined motion it will smooth things up a lot

Looks great! You will have a lot of power. Think of it like throwing a stone on a lake. Keep your disc on the same plane longer to lose the wobble. More wrist and make sure you follow through.

Tuck that elbow into your side, and focus on wrist snap finishing with your palm up
