Back Hand Disc Golf Drive Grips - Avery Jenkins

My apologies for this post being a day late. Sometimes life gets in the way.

Back Hand Drive Disc Golf grips are an important technique to develop as a disc golfer. Below are a look at Avery Jenkins' recommendation for the backhand grip. First up is a look at the thumb position on the top of the disc.

Next is a look at the fingers on the underside of the disc and what is sometimes referred to as the Berkley Power Grip for teepad and fairway distance driving.

The next pic is of the Fan grip which is used for midrange, approach or putting shots.

Here's the video where the pictures from above originated with Avery Jenkins explaining the grips.

Next video is Avery Jenkins again but this is a more recent video from the Discmania Deep In The Game Series. This video is very thorough as it goes into much more detail about the back hand drive.

    1) Control the angle of the disc
    2) Body Alignment
