Its commonly referred to as tennis elbow, usually affiliated with tendonitis in the elbow. Look up some stretching exercises so your not? over extending those tendons.

Most likely you are ...
Most likely you are not stretching properly before you start throwing and / or you are throwing too hard. I learned that even if I take 20% off from full power it won't affect the distance.
Your throwing technique might also be "wrong" in a sense it causes too? much stress to your arm.
Everytime i am ...
Everytime i am playing, my right (throwing) arm starts? to hurt at the bend of the arm and the biceps. Mostly because of my forehand drives. So, might anyone have some tips or know what i'm doing wrong?

@gydigh exactly right. Like mark said; everyone has different bodies there for? everyones throw is going to vary.
The thing I like ...
The thing I like about this guy that I don't see from other pros is he keeps his eyes focused on his direction the entire time. In some of these videos of pros I constantly seem them turn their? head back and turn eyes away from the target. I honestly don't understand that form, never use it.
Agreed. Besides? ...

im wondering? if you sponser kids because im 11 and averige through is 215ft and can putt pretty good
Keep your wrist ...
Keep your wrist pointed up on the follow through. pull your fingers through the shot, a forehand is more in the fingers and less in the arm.
if your throws are turning over, you are turning your wrist over too much on hard throws without relative strength wrist snap at the end. a disc golf won't turn as hard as an ultimate disc, if it does just get an ape or a boss. good luck turning? those over.
Well, in Ultimate, ...
Well, in Ultimate, it's more beneficial to have your left foot as a pivot, to reach out farther as a righty. But for the pull, it doesn't matter.
I throw right handed, leading with left in both ultimate and disc golf.
ultimate, i throw a forehand pull ~100 yards and disc golf around 500 feet.
My throw is like swinging a bat as hard as i can with a wind up and an uppercut. just put a disc in your hand with a hard snap at the end.?
nice i just tried ...
nice i just tried the grip you explained. throw is a lot straighter. i usually hold it? almost like a finger tip grip it works but doesnt fly nearly as straight. will say the grip you show really wears on my finger but a little play time and itll be all good.
for sure reyno! ...
for sure reyno! they come for? under 10 bucks at your local sports store. and can come in a starter pack with a putter mid range and driver.
i have a normal ...
i have a normal catch disk not a disc golf disk and when ever i try to do a for hand it
just flops or rolls why? is this and should i get a disc golf disk
Thats? the ...
Thats? the difference between ft and yards. Golf is normally measured in yards.
Can anyone tell me ...
Can anyone tell me why, in Disc Golf, a forehand drive is contralateral (leads with the left foot for right hand), where in Ultimate, a forehand huck/pull is ipsilateral (power step is right foot for? right hand)?
Haha, you can't hit ...
Haha, you can't hit a 117 yard drive? Keep? practicing, little girl, and maybe you'll be able to do it by the time you're in middle school.
