Hey everyone, I'm a second year disc golfer and really looking to make some huge improvements this year and thought this would be a great place to start. Any help is greatly appreciated.

My bad, haven't used YouTube in a few years lol. Should be good to go now!

I would focus on the idea of shifting to the front leg more backwards to target, don't try to look at the target, look at your swing/disc. You are opening up too much, and not turning back enough.

And keeping your upper arm out away from your chest so the lower arm/disc can swing into your center chest - hug the disc instead of hugging yourself.

You are leaning way back outside of your posture instead of tilting back inside posture, so you end up getting stuck weight back on rear foot after you plant and trying to drive way too late.

Check point - When your right foot crosses back over left foot your arm/disc should be hanging straight down inline/in-balance. Your arm/disc are still forward when your foot crosses back over counter balancing your extra lean back.

I'd say maybe try to think about leading with your elbow a little bit more. Battering down a door with your elbow. Your power pocket is opening to early and you're losing a lot of the dingle arm effect.

Is this any better?

Yes, much better in regard to lean/tilt.

Now you need to turn everything further back closed going into the plant.

Also, this might be a dumb question, but when people say lead with the butt, do they mean the side of the ass or the butt crack?

I took this video a little later and it looked better to me

Just took this today, any help is greatly appreciated. I feel like I'm turning my head all weird, elbow is placement is all screwy and a plethora of other things. I tend to anny everything as well.

Weight Shift From Behind You

I would go back up to Load the bow per above.

You might need to supplement with Hershyzer. I think you are pushing your body weight forward into the plant without ever being balanced on the rear leg, so your head is rushing and front side is opening early to compensate.
