First form review

[Pepijn]

Here is my first form video. Sorry only have these shots and not from the back. Will do that next time too.

This is after 1 month of starting, throwing around 175 feet.
Would like tips to improve form and start throwing better.

1. Work from "standstill" like pitcher/batter with a little stride. The X-step is just adding unnecessary moving parts.

2. Focus on power pocket/hit.

3. Not sure what discs you are throwing, but focus on putters and mids and slower drivers.

After a month of practice I've noticed smoother throws, they just go the same distance. So maybe still not smooth?
About 220 feet with putters. So here is my follow up video. Put it in slo-mo. The thing I noticed was it's wobbling out of my hand sometimes, how can I fix this?
Also the disc goes more right than where I aim, as in straight but way more right. Do I just turn away more?
Would like any feedback to hopefully get to 250-300 eventually.

Straight & Flat Swing Plane Does Not Exist!

So I think a lot of players really struggle finding that effortless distance because they are trying to throw straight and flat by pulling the disc with the arm in a straight line and trying to manipulate the spin of the disc flat by actively curling the wrist and arm into horizontal flexion and...

So understanding correctly I should be planting my lead foot before opening up the swing?
And my reach back should end/start at a lower angle than it is now?

Plant then swing/whip.

Shoulder swing vertical like a pendulum.
