Yes, also to add varying degrees of athleticism. There are people whose bodies will never get into the correct positions and never throw far despite doing most things right. There are also people who can outthrow us with crude form but out-of-this-world athleticism
Brodie is extremely ER dominant you can see he walks very duck footed. But I think he’s so ER dominant that it explains the weirdness you’re talking about
The ER/IR discussion comes up from time to time. It seems as though a lot of people here/players are ER dominant.
What about those of us who are IR dominant? I am extremely pigeon toed and pretty IR dominant. What are some of the things that I need to watch out for in a backhand form?

That's why I dont even agree 100% that her form/technique is "not exactly perfect". Maybe its perfect for her body. If you look at her PDGA page and her earnings and wins this year it certainly delivers results ... can't ask for more than that
Paige Pierce is like 90lbs soaking wet and has thrown 500ft in a distance comp before. IMO I think she has by far the best form and mechanics in FPO ...
In @Sheep 's defense, there's no real downside to engaging with more and more coaches. I think josh's content has improved significantly since he's started talking to chris taylor/andrew/brychanus. I think we're a little spoiled here because a forum, by its nature, allows a free exchange of...
100% Flex is an overstable disc thrown with anhyzer. S-shot or s-curve is a disc that turns and then comes back.
@Sheep to be fair there are tons of destroyers that hyzer flip naturally. I have a ricky 2x star destroyer that gets quite a bit of turn.
Also, I would consider a roller a forced...
The plastic has changed over the years. When you get F2's you don't know if you're getting new or old plastic or what run. The older innova plastic tends to be stiffer than the new stuff. FWIW I prefer the stiffer stuff
I do all my fieldwork with a stack of cheap putters, in my case 300 plastic PA-3s. They are $8 apiece on the prodigy store on amazon when you buy a 5pack. If you do fieldwork a lot you will lose discs. Neutral discs are nice because they show you exactly what flight you put onto it. Also they...
I think it was @Sheep who told me that for BH roughly half of the disc constitutes a "lever arm" whereas on a sidearm its only roughly a quarter of the disc, which seems right. That's why generating spin and reducing OAT is so important on a FH but basically trivial on a BH.
I have one in nexus it works nice as a stable midrange. I have not had any issues with releases, I find it to be pretty reliable. I do not like it for forehand
Is the pronation/supination of the arm a mechanism for reducing slack or is the slack a result of extending too early and starting the pull through too soon
Some proposed types ppl have discussed on BH are ER/IR dominant as well as “horizontal force” vs “vertical force” dominant motions. There is also different arm motion types: pendulum, walk around the disc, bent arm. And there are a few different off arm moves: arm down, arm “not spilling the...
The stuff before the hit is just to set you up for maximum leverage at the hit.
IMO when it comes to distance, its Anna Karenina principle: All good form is good for the same reasons, all bad form is bad for any number of reasons. Those reasons can range from stuff like technique/mechanics to...
