The Real Reason Masters Disc Golfers Lose Distance It’s Not Arm Speed

If your throws feel shorter than they used to, the problem might not be your arm at all. For many Masters disc golfers, the distance isn't gone — it's locked up. In this video, I break down one of the biggest reasons players over 40 start losing distance, using my own throwing experience along with footage from a physical therapy movement session. You’ll see how limited rotation, spinal mobility, and compensation patterns can quietly shorten your throw — and why chasing more arm speed is often the wrong fix. This video is the diagnosis — what might actually be limiting your distance.
