Form critique, please!

[Koldes]

Hi guys,

I'm looking for any feedback on how to improve my form. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3Vlo7soM1Q)

I know there's a ton to work on but I have a hard time breaking it down piece by piece. I have a bunch of videos & drills saved but I'm not sure which ones would be best to focus on for my particular set of 'skill'.

I put together two parts of the video - the first part is my current form, and the second piece is practice I've been doing attempting to pull back farther and pull straighter through.

As you can probably guess from my form, I strong arm everything and get almost no momentum and movement forward from my hips and legs. Because of this, my putters and mids go very far, like 80%+ of my fairway drivers.

My fairways just about match my distance drivers in distance. I throw on average around 300-325 with fairways, with the occasional 350 and the very rare 400 with a perfect hyzer flip into a turn over flex shot with an understable Tern or a Mvp Wave.

Thanks in advance! (P.S. I posted this same thing on /r/discgolf, just fyi.

You need to plant into your heel with your weight. You are also throwing downward with the nose of the disc up, you start your disc at about shoulder height and release at hip height. I do the exact opposite start about hip height and release just below the shoulder. This will change the way your elbow moves and releases the lower arm/disc further out from your body in plane with the shoulders.

Check your grip and orientation:

Thanks a lot - I have been practicing planting and pivoting on my heel over the past 24 hours. It's very foreign, but I'm starting to get it. Once I can get that figured out, I'm going to try to pull through straighter. I figure the planting correctly may change how I'm pulling, so better to do that first. And the grip as well.

I've been using a couple of your videos as help. I'm gonna post some updates soon with how it's progressing.

Thanks again
