You are turning forward before your weight is on the front foot/leg. Bend at your hips to tilt your spine forward, see tilted spiral vid in previous posts.

Lead with the weight transfer from behind you(not shifting from in front) to the front leg like in the vid below. Then hips, then body, then arm.
Just pay attention to 3:10-4:00:
Ignore the 360, but pay attention the sequencing:

Keep your arm looser and swing it back from the hips later in the reachback. You look too tense with the arm and grip and get back too early. The way you orientate your arm and disc at the reachback is off and looks like you are double jointed in the elbow. Keep the disc aligned parallel to the forearm from start to finish and aligned with the shoulders.
Within the past few days, i gave been experimenting with starting the disc farther from the body, i gained an exra 15-25ft do you see any improvement?http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FwJA7qOSIaE
Neutral putters and mids are really good at developing good basic form. Don't neglect the drivers forever, though; they'll show you how to keep the nose down.

It looks a little better with the reachback line, but you're short on the extension of the whip because your not getting your weight forward correctly on the front leg. I think you would benefit from getting your shoulders more vertical in the rotation, more like a hockey slap shot or Swedish style. It might or might not lead to immediate results, but it should lead to some new perspective or insight on the shoulder rotation.
Check the Swedish style at 1:10 the guy on the right(red shirt) with the shoulders vertical and off arm swinging over. Linus throws faar!

It goes back far enough in the backswing, but in the forward swing your right shoulder doesn't get forward enough and slow down, instead you spin it around fast and short. You want to release the arm/disc closer to the target like a foot or two, extension targetward.
Dan talks about going from back to here to up here adding anywhere from 60-100' or more in the vid from thread:

That's why I recommend you try the Swedish style, it's a different way of accomplishing the same thing. I don't know if you have read the thread for that video, but it explains a lot of stuff in there that's not in the video.
