Thank you a million times SW22! Things are improving steadily, although frustratingly at times;) Today I threw a couple of 290 ft throws. They are reproducible and I also see my areas of improvement. Its about to get it all to fit together. I feel now I should move onto incorporating the x-step...

I'm trying to get the timing right. In best downswing weighshift video he uses the terms toss-fall-fall. Is it on the toss that the backswing is furthest back, the "can crush" has just happend and the weight is started to be transferred forward?

At this point I can see that I am going to use some time to get all of this to work. Have a hard time shifting the weight from the back and also to brace against my front foot without going over it. Going to do a lot of field work and ask here for some more advice along the way. Again, many...

I see what you mean. I am aiming for bent elbow style. The Swedish style doesn't suit me I think. Need to work it in;) Been out today and been doing some more field work. I find standing in a forward tilted spiral difficult. I sometimes loose balance and I find it hard to make it natural. I...

@SW22: Yeah, I know what you mean. I have been watching many videos and one of them thaught not sticking out the butt, so I see I need to unlearn what I have learnt;) Thank you for pointing that out master jedi ;) @merakecow: Working to get the timing right. As you say it feels awkward. Will...

Even more vids Been doing field work this week and its starting to pay off. My longest throw is now about 280 feet. Its an improvement of about 30 feet. Its being done with mid-range discs. Have been throwing a few fairway drivers, leopard and teebird, as well this week. The others are still to...

Again, many thanks for helping out! Will work on my timing and do the drills for a weeks time. Will post new vids after more field work :)

More vids for critique Posting some new vids after one week of field work. What I find a bit frustrating is that I cant be consistent in my form. Im trying outy new things all the time as I go along. I also tend to discover areas where I can improve while Im throwing and try to correct at once...

I will try that out. Should I lift my front foot close to my rear foot and step it out or just lightly lift it from the ground?

Been out for a couple of days in the field and have some small improvements in both D and accuracy. But I find it hard to stay in the athletic posittion from a stand-still. What I see from looking at some slow motion videos is that the reach-back while doing the x-step makes the whole movement...

Many thanks for the welcome and the tips! :) Feels great to be part of the community. I'm learning a lot by reading the posts and trying stuff out. Feels a bit overwhelming at times and I want a lot fast. Do you have any tips on how to isolate the areas where the form needs improvement and is...

After re-examining, I understand that it must mean that I should stay tilted forward over the toes and knees. Exactly as explained by SW22. Didn't quite understand to begin with;)

Many thanks for taking the time to help me in my quest for better form:) I didn't know about the front foot more to the left off the tee. I haven't been able to try it in the field yet, but from just trying it out in my living room it feels as though its easier to get my butt out first(like in...

Been playing for two weeks now and want to improve more. Heres a clip of me throwing a mid-range disc from a stand still position. I've been practicing the beto drill, watching Will Schustericks clinics and yesterday I dived into Sidewinder22s drills. Still lots to integrate and I wonder where...
