Is it one disc with both hands or a disc in each hand?

The push from the power pocket should happen before I'm in the position you demonstrate (pushing against the wall), right? So does that mean that the drill is meant to teach me to keep pressure through the hit or is it just a necessary starting position to even be able to drill the chest-out move?

Thanks! I guess I'm already doing it to some degree, but I've never actively thought about it except when throwing approach shots. Just to be clear: The part of the drill when you're pushing against the wall, is that meant as an exaggerated (late) push mimicking chest out? Or is it the...

Would you mind expanding on this? In my mind the anchoring part comes with crushing the can but that happens post-backswing, right?

Sorry for digging up an old thread but this made me realize that I might've fundamentally misunderstood the mechanics from chest and out. What you're describing is how I would describe my throws. Incidentally I have been developing elbow issues (might be related to switching to spin putting...

My theory about why this is such a common cue is due to a physiological feedback mistranslation (that doesn't sound pretentious or made-up at all), where the thrower leans over to the right (RHBH) to get the forearm perpendicular to the ground.

I like this video for thinking about how the hips work in a swing: -JsaaIV-i4o

(Excuse the late reply) - I appreciate the metaphors and how you describe the feeling. I have however experienced it myself several times. My objection was stricly regarding the physics of the backhand throw. I found this great write-up on reddit that I would recommend reading to anyone who's...

I was just thinking, watching the clip (before even reading your comment), that it looks less cerebral/dancy and more natural than before. Great work!

Do you think it might be helpful to combine hershyzer drill with a (modified) riding the bull? I mean in general, not specifically just in this case.

This is kinda new information for me, if i'm understanding it right. Can you reference any drill that incorporates this? Does this also mean that my back foot (left foot RHBH) should be more perpendicular to the target in the x-step? In a stand-still you want to open the back foot up a little...

The fact that you're shrugging your right shoulder seems to indicate that you're tensing up quite a bit. I try to think about doing the opposite, moving the right scapula away from the spine by pushing my elbow away from my chest as a way of "priming" my shoulder/lats/posterior chain before...

I totally agree. My question was more specific to that particular example and I was more concerned with the positioning of the humerus relative to the forearm and what that might inhibit in terms of mobility if you keep moving the disc lower. I didn't expect astrophysics going in to this...

That's fair. I think now upon re-watching the clip that you are throwing slightly uphill, possibly affecting the angle. In the OLD video your disc is higher in a more typical power pocket. Please note that I'm not trying to "call you out" or anything like that, I'm genuinely curious and quite...

That might very well be the case, but there are surely more details that factor in to any individual form and their performance, achieving sufficient power with regards to their physical configuration (length of the humerus, shoulder mobility etc.) And what about these guys? Drew Gibson is a...
