The sidearm in disc golf is often overlooked in our day and age so I wanted to bring more of a spotlight onto that specific shot. Top ten disc golf sidearms that are currently playing right now. Whose in your Top Ten?

  • Scott Stokely deserves an honorable mention. He's a former world record distance holder, and even though he's over 50 he's still playing at a competitive level. His forehand to win OTB Skins this year was one of the best shots ever
  • @sillyz9578
    Big jerms side arm is literally beautiful to watch. It’s so effortless and just shapes beautifully.
  • Didn't even show what I consider to be Eagle's best forehand. 2021 DGLO straddling the guardrail, 400+ circle hit. Absolute mastery of the forehand.
  • @temkef6124
    Honestly, Kramer needs to be on this list imo
  • @PixlatedDonut
    I have to disagree with the list, Kramer, Gossage, and Barella should be on the list. Kramer is Forehand only and plays amazing with his shot shaping. Gossage will throw a forehand zone inside 350 if he can. Barella has maybe the longest forehand on the world...
  • @Linky609
    I don't have an issue leaving some of the younger guys like gossage off the list but Clemons definitely deserves to be higher up and honestly I'd drop eagle to maybe 5 or 6. Eagles sidearm distance is great but his shot shaping in the woods isn't that great. Most of his wins are open bomber courses. He doesn't have the flip up game that some of the older players have.
  • @calebluvsvids
    Good video! The biggest travesty is how low Chris Clemons is; based on this season alone, he should be top 5, maybe top 3 on this list with his consistent finishes and forehand dominance. I get that tour success played into this selection a lot, which you explained by not including Aaron Gossage, but he will break this top 10 eventually, and I think an honorable mention should be given to Chandler Kramer. He literally ONLY throws forehand and he finished so well at Europe, which is NOT a forehand heavy course (eagle won without one)
  • @ryaninSartell
    Honorable mention should be given to Scott Stokely. OG sidearm player that once held both the world's record for longest throws for backhand and forehand at the same time. He is the reason several people on this list throw sidearm they way they do (like Big Jerm)
  • @cglasford1
    How do you not have Chandler Kramer on this list or at least honorable mention? he's got to be one of if not the only all side arm player on tour and he has power and all the shots
  • @mawage666
    Back in the day NOBODY threw a sidearm except Scott Stokely. They actually called it a "trick shot". And he can still throw backhand and sidearm 550'.
  • This is more of a favorite fronthand discer list... Eagle hasn't thrown a fronthand all year...
  • Always love the videos, and I think it's a solid list, but damn putting McBeth over Clemons feels criminal. Chris has a 500+ ft sidearm, plus the touch/flip up game. My only other issue is saying "Eagle has the best sidearm in disc golf right now" when he hasn't been throwing sidearms all year. I also think that if you put him and Jerm on a sidearm only competition, assuming he's at his peak, Jerm wins every time Love the list aside from that though, Jerm and Nate certainly belong up there
  • Honestly, forget power, forget distance, Big Jerm has easily one of the smoothest forearms out there. It always looks so effortless with how he walks up/winds up. It's awesome to watch
  • Great video! Agree with Adam having one of the best forehand approaches and I’d put Calvin in there somewhere too. Gossage showed his forehand prowess with next level distance and accuracy.
  • @bill8939
    Great list. That was a fun watch thx
  • @mosk11tto
    Great list, although missing the best forehand: Silver Lätt!
  • Love the content! I would love to see the best or top ten lefties in disc golf! As one of the rare 10% Lefties on this planet I would absolutely love to see a spot light shinned on this one! Thank you for the entertainment!!!!
