Which Shot Lowers Scores Faster: Forehand or Backhand Turnover?

If you’re new to disc golf, chances are you’ve already run into this question: Should I spend my time learning a forehand… or a backhand turnover? Both shots can accomplish a very similar flight shape—right-moving lines for a right-handed backhand player—but they come with very different advantages, limitations, and long-term implications for your game. In this video, we break down: What a forehand gives you immediately as a beginner Why the backhand turnover can be a foundational skill for long-term growth When one shot clearly outperforms the other on the course Common beginner mistakes with both shots Which shot will help you score better right now vs. later This isn’t about saying one shot is “better” forever—it’s about impact. If you’re just starting out and want the biggest return on your practice time, this video will help you decide where to focus first. Whether you’re building your first bag, trying to break through a scoring plateau, or figuring out how to attack right-finishing holes more confidently, this conversation matters.
