“I’ve been playing disc golf for just over a year. I saw some drastic growths when I first started but quickly plateaued. I’m an athletic strong guy so I naturally tended to trying to muscle the disc through the air. I knew this wasn’t right but couldn’t figure out how to use my arm as a lever instead of using my muscles. After two sessions with Jack, my form was revolutionized.
“The key changes he helped me make allowed me to get greater distance with more accuracy and less flex shots for distance and more straight shots. Before my first session, when warming up, I’d throw about 300’ when my discs would get a good flex shot. After the first session I was able to throw the same distance in a dead straight line standing still! Fast forward a week and I was playing a hole I used to throw with everything I had to get about 80 percent of the way to the basket.”
“In a strong headwind, I was able to throw my Destroyer about 5’ off the ground, dead straight in a left to right headwind and parked the 360’ basket. Never have I done that, and with that straight of a shot. Obviously it takes time to change form, but I can already see great strides in my throws and can’t wait to continue working with Jack to see how much more I can progress!”
Matt D., San Luis Obispo
“I have been playing consistently for eight months but struggling to get better. I took a two-hour lesson with Jack today and drove away knowing that I had begun my journey to a better game and becoming more enthralled with the sport. Jack listened to and acknowledged my desired outcome for the lesson. Great communication before, through, and after the lesson. If you want to take your game to the next level, look here!”
Philip B, Moraga, CA
“We now LOVE disc golf, thanks to our School of Disc Golf lesson! The whole family had a blast, ages 3-57! We plan to get out and try out our new skills tomorrow! What a fun, fantastic teacher and coach Jack is! I highly recommend him!”
Wendy Rae J, Boulder Creek, CA
“I took a two-hour lesson with Jack this past weekend and it was a very worthwhile investment. He is very good at coaching you step by step and conveying proper technique in a number of ways that will make sense to you. His ability to film your shot and show you instant corrections in real time was very helpful. If you want to learn this sport or just need a new tool for the course you play, Jack is the man to go to!”
