No I dont think it's inconsistent form, I haven't thrown for distance outside in a while because of the weather and the time change. My form was really spot on the past few days. I was getting great distance for my arm speed and the conditions. I've never thrown in the winter as I've only been...

True, but it's light years away, relatively speaking, from a disc being tucked into the abdomen/chest area.

I disagree that his torso is rotating around the hip. If that were so, shouldn't his right hip be mostly stationary instead of moving from right to left? I agree that the whole body pivots around the brace foot pressure and that the pivot does extend upwards. But the flight of the disc is most...

Aye. They were turning a lot. If they got more than 12 feet of elevation they would turn 50-100 feet before fading back. I was getting fairly good distance I thought for my arm and the discs, just clearly getting robbed of the fade distance part. So maybe they were just getting slowed down so...

Was out throwing the past few days in the colder weather and noticed my discs are fading really fast after the turn portion and almost going sideways. Is it because the air is just so much more dense and causing it to fade quicker and harder?

Look at the GIF I made of Will. Ask me this- where is the center or axis of his rotation? Is it more near his shoulder or more near his spine? Just answer me that please.

If a pitcher brought in as close as possible it would be in and touching the body of which it is not. Im not sure what a pitcher slinging a pitch has to do with defining where a disc golfers upper body axis point is?

Yes very much so. It begins, comes on strong until it is in a "strong brace" and then eases off and the foot pivots around as the brace eases up.

For instance- there is no bringing the baseball in close to the body, or the "power pocket". In Baseball, the most efficient pitching mechanics is from a 3/4 arm slot where the arm comes straight out from the body and in line on the shoulder plane. You see this as the pitcher brings the...

Again. I understand the brace very well. Maybe we both have a hard time communicating but the reality of it is that as my throw has gotten much stronger I feel the brace much stronger. But we aren't really speaking of the brace here. We are speaking of making the lever longer and if the axis of...

No, there are enough differences between throwing a baseball to throwing a disc backhand that it's hard to compare what is being discussed. I see no one commented on the 2 Gifs I posted dealing with where the center of rotation is. Must be right eh?

The strong "brace" happens during the dynamic hip rotation.

Pitching mechanics are a bit different than throwing a disc backhand. Apple's to oranges.

In my opinion, Latitude 64 discs have the smoothest flights and most glide of all the discs I have tried.

I actually do get some pretty amazing glide out of my Saint.
