What is mashed potato grip?
I wanna see the data for thumb position closer or further from inside the edge of the rim.
I personally find that I get a more reliable front loaded grip when my thumb is closer to the rim, but I see so many people mashing on it way inside.
Where could i purchase a device that measures all the data?
So… was it mashed grip from start of back swing to letting go? Or soft through arm swing and mashed at the end?
I'd love to see you guys try, what I call the "Split-Grip". Not sure if anyone has named it already or even throws it. But it has helped me get more spin on my drives and in turn a bit more distance. (FYI, I do have large hands, so not sure if it will be viable for everyone)
1) You start by griping the disc rim with just the tips your index and middle finger and pull the disc into the crease where your finger meets your palm so that the disc edge and your finger crease are perpendicular. It will fill flimsy at first.
2) Then place your ring and pinky a bit further down on the rim and use those to suck the disc into your palm for a secure grip. There should be about enough space to put your index finger from your left hand between your middle finger and ring finger with no gaps.
3) Then find a comfortable angle for the disc to sit in your hand. I tend to roll the disc forward, so that the part of your disc touching your palm is in the natural crease in the center of your palm.
Let me know if you decide to try this though, describing it without pictures is difficult. I'll send some pics or a video if you'd like. 🙂

Persistence is a factor you are overlooking. It took Mike “years.”, 498 is huge D.
Well, you have a new subscriber. I can't wait to try this.
I wrote a disc physics simulator. It handles hyzer angle, nose angle, spin speed ratio, disc wear… the results are spooky realistic. The conclusion after lots of tinkering with virtual experiments was that 2-3 degrees of nose down is ideal for distance. The shots looked very much like Ricky's juiced Felon shots from the back in the day that start with a stupid amount of nose down, pop up, and then penetrate forward despite being an overstable mold. Ricky has more nose down power than anyone else I can think of. I read somewhere that people did real world research confirming this but I haven't seen it.
what is the device called?
I’m curious what distance driver disc is used on the tech disc?
First time watching one of your videos and now I'm subbed. Is the simulator hardware/software available for purchase from somewhere?
Interesting stuff! Love the Squatch Bag 🔥. Also looks like you've lost quite a bit of weight bro 💪, keep it up 👏
Oh, THIS is bro science.
Anyone sending a techdisc to Norway? 😅
Guys it’s clear you are happy and healthy and it feels like your passion has been reinvigorated with the new office setup! Keep up the killer work, I’ll be buying my next discs off your shop 🤙🙏🙌💫
You need a bigger room before someone takes a rebound disc to the face.
Where can you get this simulator device?
Awesome video. Science is great. One observation; everybody makes this mistake, even on DGN, further and farther are as different as screwdriver and hammer. Just remember that anything literally comparing distance is “farther”. Anything that is a figuratively improving on something is “further”. So, the takeaway, in disc golf, you’ll use “farther” about 99% of the time. Cheers.
I think he should have thrown those on different days
Could you please create a table for speed/distance with fixed rpm ?
I pre-ordered the Tosy discs hoping they'd be the new disc golf "launch monitor", but Tech Disc beat them to it, it seems. Awesome vid
Just when I think disc golf cannot get any dorkier, here we are……the absolute last thing everyone of you needs, is to be on the interneters more! This is knowledge and wisdom speaking, GTFO the interneters….for an extended period of time, go play the most wooded course you know, get so food/man cans/**(women cans) some food to bbq and try to get lucky, with whatever gender you desire! All 87 of them to choose from! 🫡
so wait clarify the ending there… do you want to be front loaded or back loaded for more RPM?
One factor to consider, has got to be, the more you throw, naturally the farther it will go. You work a muscle and it will grow!
Well done Mikey!
Ah frontloading. So pouring the coffee.
Oh he's just discovering intentional griplock for distance
It's about dimensionally locking while being loose. Strong pour but loose on the pads
You always want as tight a grip as possible, it is also reflected in the spin. The secret is also being able to keep your arm loose. Can you just use the muscles in your hand to grip and not your whole arm?
Mikey throwing further than I do with 360. I'm 5'9 and I wonder why 😀
Edit: Without 360, I max at 400-420 ft consistently
Edit 2: With mashed grip aka death grip, bending the disc. I get 511 ft sometimes with 360 throw style and without 360 style, I max out at 400-420 ft with mashed grip and loose grip. 💀
