Disc Golf Clinics Don’t Make You Better at Disc Golf
Mind Body Disc's blog on "Disc Golf Clinics Don’t Make You Better at Disc Golf" simply states that attending Disc Golf Clinics or watching all the YouTube videos will not make you a better disc golfer. What will is practice. Practice that is sometimes known as fieldwork. Not playing a round of disc golf on a course but focused, specific practice. But watching a video on one's tablet or smartphone and working on an aspect presented in that video on the spot. Also, recording oneself on video and checking to see if you're getting it right! As the MBD blogger said in a previous blog, "Don't practice something until you get it right. Practice something until you can't get it wrong!"
This post points out that to get the most out of a clinic, one should stick around afterwards and practice what was presented in the clinic. Sometimes the clinicians will offer to work with individuals and point out one or two specifics to help those individuals improve. Can't beat that!
This post also provides the best video tutorials the author has found. And, I agree with his choices. Although, I would include Dan Beto's video on driving from the hit back.
Below is MBD blogger's choice of the best roller video (and which I agree) presented by 5x world champion Dave Greenwell and Daniel Ledford for the Louisville Disc Golf Club. Greenwell covers all aspects of roller shots well.
