The mental game...I'm right there with you. Sometimes you can be you're own worst enemy. Shameless plug: http://www.heavydisc.com/2015/04/the-mental-game.html

I couldn't agree with this more. Once you know the basics of putting it just comes down to whatever style you prefer then execute. I can't tell you how many times I've psyched myself out of a putt.

Drives and putting I tend to think of as part of your offensive strategy. You're attacking the course because you're actively trying to lower your score. Upshots are an important defensive strategy. Get the disc as close to the basket/target as possible. Minimize the chance of gaining extra strokes.

I agree hard to know without video. One possible problem could be if you're pulling your head up early to watch the shot.

You are throwing from a horse stance. This kills your ability to power the shot with your lower body. This video from SW22 should help with this. Q5xfv9jPqZs Also, you need to close your stance more. Your feet are in line with one another. Line up the toes of your back foot with the heel of...

First thing I noticed is that in your backswing your arm curls around your body. The disc appears to almost be touching your back. You want your backswing to be basically straight back. When you pull through you want the disc to be close to your body not not your arm. Edit: wrote this before I...

I am by no means an expert but I'll give my take on it. I agree with you that you need to shorten up you steps. One thing I did notice is that it appears you are throwing from a horse stance. Throwing from that position restricts your ability to rotate your hips and thus results in a loss of...

Form Check 4/6/2015 Still working on stuff. Just thought I would provide a different camera angle. Thanks everyone for all your feedback! HzsdrDh-_JU

Form Check 3/31/2015 Basically same problems I think. Still flat footed. Stance a bit too narrow. I4y-psd5VcU

This seems to me pretty common. I don't think I have ever had a real in depth person to person conversation about it. You start getting detailed on form people tend to look at you like your from some alien planet.

Form Check 3/9/2015 still rotating early before crushing the can...:doh: lsU37bip7p8

That is at my home course. The grass is in bounds here. Those walking paths go through the entire course. Always kills me when I throw in there; it gets in the walking path it usually gets trapped there.

Take it from me who is in the middle of a complete form rebuild, completely drop the x-step for now. You'll spend a lot of time throwing with minimal progress. Lesson learned the hard way. There is just too much going on too fast to get it right. You need to get everything in proper sequence...

Form Check 2/18/2015 My front foot is pointed backwards when I plant. Still a bit flat footed. I'm still looking at the ground mostly. I was focusing on trying to crush the can and shift my hips forward while in my back swing. Definitely got more work to do. Any better? Worse? WFkPzgrYISo...
