I've noticed this for a long time, but it recently really caught my attention and I have to ask about it.
I have noticed a clear difference in the accelerations and speed of the elite distance throwers throwing arm vs a 430' thrower (for example). The elite thrower's throwing arm looks like it moves so much slower, compared to 430' throwers. The 430' throwers look like they really crank their arm fast and finish their swing super quickly, while the elite throwers swing takes longer, but end up throwing way further. I'm pretty sure this has to do with tbe fact that the elite throwers accelerate very late into the throw, instead of early like a 430' thrower? But I'm not sure and certainly don't know how to achieve it.
Is it a difference of flat swing vs pendulum swing? If so what should I focus on to achieve a pendulum swing? Should I focus on the shoulders rotating more vertically/in a pendulum? I've tried focusing on making my disc/hand feel like it swings in a pendulum, but that hasn't yielded good results so far.
