What exactly are you referring to? I was under the understanding that leading with the head/following your shot with your eyes/head was a bad idea because it keeps your forward momentum going?

I had my throw analyzed by feldy and he told me to keep my head down and stop peaking to follow my shot. Essentially he said to find your disc when your left shoulder (rhbh) comes through on the follow through.

Insight? I'm not saying Felberg is the end all be all in form critique, but he IMO he seems to know what he is talking about.

I've been working a lot on my form over the last three years and done a lot of video taping/comparing/working with pros/practicing and I can tell that she has done her homework and understands the kinetic chain of a great throw in disc golf.

If for some reason I am incorrect sidewinder I humbly apologize

You're wrong sister, I'm just a loud mouthed schnook!

I was taught that getting your head around allows you to be more upright at release and more likely to hit your line. I guess different teachers teach different lessons.

Good teachers can teach skills in different ways. Poor teachers can only teach something the way they do it.

Very few good players keep their eyes on the target while they throw. This doesn't make it wrong, of course. It does limit body turn and therefore distance potential.

Beyond Dr. Rick and Ron Russell are their any other great players who watch the target?

Some dude named Climo among many others unless they are going for distance over accuracy.
