    Breaking Bad Timing Habit

    I feel like my weight is a little less over my toes? Maybe? Something weird happening with where/how I was releasing the disc today, can't see what was happening on film but I know my middle finger kept catching on the rim, which I'm learning means the timing or spacing is off somewhere. But...

    Breaking Bad Timing Habit

    Inching my way towards improvement - same big issues as above but I think I did realize some things, and made some adjustments that helped. 1 - Eyes on disc is non negotiable; if my head turns forward ahead of the downswing at all, the whole swing is toast. 2 - Pump forward transitioning from...

    Thanks! Took me a long time to get anywhere but I think this is getting better? Still not getting the swing right, lots of wonky releases, and weight is probably still just a bit too far over my toes

    Breaking Bad Timing Habit

    Thanks! Yes, saggy right leg has been a tough one. I worked on out-in, and in theory I feel like I get it and I can do it in slow motion, but all my full speed attempts were just awful. Just feels like my body doesn't know how to move like that right now. Then I tried something else, not really...

    Breaking Bad Timing Habit

    Been working on a lot of stuff, initially was working the inside swing drills but I just had too many issues overall with stuff I was doing, felt like I needed to zoom out a bit. And it's been working, kinda, I think! First thing I realized was that I'd been thinking of the x-step all wrong for...

    Breaking Bad Timing Habit

    Been hitting a lot of golf balls since it doesn't bug my finger, which is still an issue for me unfortunately, but actually working on the golf swing rather than just imitating it with a disc has given me some good tidbits and feels. Throws felt better than they have in a while and the disc...

    Breaking Bad Timing Habit

    Working with a golf club, trying to keep the progress going. Liking the way my body reacts after planting more, looks more balanced on my front leg and patient. Makes sense, the club head doesn't want to come around in a hurry so it's easier to feel the timing. My x step and plant felt kind...

    Breaking Bad Timing Habit

    Adjusted my tack a bit today and saw some progress, watching some pros throwing slower shots really made it clear to me how necessary it is to get the disc out and away at the top of the backswing. Even the ones that take it back behind them at first will have it swing out away from them as they...

    Breaking Bad Timing Habit

    Thanks SW! Regarding my flat footed plant, might be something I always kind of have to work around; my big toe doesn't like to bend very far so when I land too much on my toes it can get painful. I should probably just commit to trying to copy someone like Simon, or Kyle Klein or Adam Hammes...

    Breaking Bad Timing Habit

    Made some nice progress following this advice, and just when I thought I was getting somewhere, old habits are creeping in once more. 2 steps forward, 1.5 steps back. I'll start with the good, last week I started doing this clockwise motion with both arms at the top of my backswing to try to...

    Breaking Bad Timing Habit

    Thanks SW! I got these earlier today, any improvement on the right elbow? I tried to tackle my backswing a bit, seemed like I had lost how to coil, so I tried to think of my right elbow staying under my shoulder. X step and left arm are definitely in need of work still.

    Breaking Bad Timing Habit

    I tried keeping my upper arm far away from my body, and I think I was feeling what that was doing, but I'm not sure if that's cueing something different from the "out-in-out" feeling? Or is that what it is? It seems to create a trade-off for me right now, it often makes the feeling of...

    Interesting, sort of Kevin Jones-like too, right? Just checking, by upper arm do you mean closer to the shoulder or closer to the hand? I see how both could be true.

    Breaking Bad Timing Habit

    I think I know what you mean, went through a couple different feels to try to get there and maybe showing some promise? My footwork was giving me some trouble today, not as good as yesterday, and the throws were not great, but I think I was starting to figure out how to be more forward without...

    Breaking Bad Timing Habit

    Watching back I think one area I need to look at is my front shoulder isn't really dingling right - rather than swinging down under my chin it's moving in kind of a straight line/slight upward trajectory from backswing to finish. Messing around with that, today I found if I took the backswing...

    Grip problems - middle finger knuckle catching disc

    I'm not sure if my problem is 100% the same, but some time back last November my middle finger started catching on the rim as I released BH. I'm not sure exactly sure what part of my finger was catching or how, but I was getting abrasions where the nail meets the cuticle like Bill said, and...

    Breaking Bad Timing Habit

    Feel like I inched a bit closer this week. My release at times felt really good, it just seems like I'm one or two "aha"s away from actually getting somewhere. Still on the right track?

    Breaking Bad Timing Habit

    Got some more footage on the course, along with maybe some more progress and understanding on the lower body. I think I can finally see my alignment shift from one leg to the other in these side views (put my camera in the wrong spot for the second side view/last clip but included it because I...

    Breaking Bad Timing Habit

    Thank you both! Brychanus, by make my rear side look more like his, do you mean like sidewinder? I notice in the double dragon videos from yesterday I'm sort of falling down onto my front side instead of shifting onto it in a rocking motion like kick the can, or like this is that what you're...

    Breaking Bad Timing Habit

    Thanks for this, and the excellent writeup you linked in your post! I've been plugging away on double dragons and gotten many, many awful examples on camera, but finally I think something clicked for me re: braced tilt. Two pieces might have clicked for me actually, though only separately...
