All good here dude. I would love to retain the "Good Swing" video grace overall. I don't think landing on a more extended brace leg is a bad idea. I still get enough width in the stance (there are apparently data that a stance width about half your height is "ideal" for power). I seem to be taking and transferring some impact force either way and I end up squared up on the strongest muscles either way.Looking at "your good swing video", it may just be because of the angle of the video, but it looks like your front leg lands less bend and you have an easier time to withstand the (m)ass, get a solid brace with a just beautiful balanced ending posting up on the front hip (can't remember the exact term).
The mechanics may not be completely polished or 100% correct in the "good swing" video, but it's most likely the best footwork I've seen from you in this thread. Nimble and graceful.
Next part is hard for me to explain. Engrish you know
You've done the math on a more vertical drop into brace, with forces etc. Have you ever thought about landing more "stiff" (less bended, as in your good swing video)on the front leg. I would imagine that you would have to use MUCH more energy, when you bend your knee that much and insist on "rising" through the shot.
Just a thought
In the "Good Swing" video I still had a "rise into the release problem." Theoretically I think rise AFTER release is "decompression" and more acceptable (or at least, this is how I understood it). Here are some images where Sidewinder showed the arc the head takes - pro level movement usually is pretty compressed/low through the release even if it rises afterwards. I'm clearly rising more than you'd expect to see.
It's still happening in the last couple videos too as you pointed out.
So I'm just not sure how much I should care about the rise into the release I guess, or if I even have a way to fully fix it based on the weird rear hip.
Hmmm...
I've also started to notice some of my mechanics change a bit in the rear vs. side angle throwing inside. It's like the tendency to "lean away" is a little more coded into my brain from that side angle. I seem to be able to make my posture more aggressive throwing at the blue blanket, so I might record from the side there and see if that's true.
