What's your backhand flaw?
I thought it would be interesting to take a poll of what everyone's most common flaw is in their backhand, with some common culprits. Mine is definitely keeping the nose down.

There's not an option for all so I just picked the first one......but I'm working on it.

If I try to muscle the disc for a huge shot I sometimes release it with the nose too high, I need to find a better balance of form and power.

be honest with you I have been practicing he dan beato version of driving with elbow first and I havn't put even a HALF of my power in the swing becuase its akward right now and I already threw about 300-350 today I can feel the potentiol and accuracy is insane when you keep the disc chest high

I voted snap because I'm not sure if I really get any at all. Actually, I don't have any idea what my flaws are. If I knew I'd probably be a lot better. I need to see a pro or something sometime.

I am really trying to master the backhand. I have been throwing forehand from the start. I am putting more effort into perfecting my backhand though. I am struggling with distance. I can double my distance with a forehand.

i prefer tomahawks and forearm but have been trying strictly backhand to try to improve my game. my scores are a lot higher than they used to be but i have hit come within about two feet of hitting my first ace so at least there is some hope for me.

Snap is basically an "all of the above" option.
