I think it is rhatton1 you are looking for.The old hammer pound drills and the sidearm hammer drill video by uk disc golf (he's here but I forget his user name)
I waited a bit for the more experienced players to weigh in, but here is my thinking out loud.
When exactly does the disc spin? Spin rate, in the plane of the disc and relative to the ground, must start at zero and end somewhere around 900 rpm. Graph spin versus time. Is this a smooth increase, or is there an abrupt jump? Might need to paint a stripe on the disc.
Second, is the wrist neutral, active, or not relevant? Seems like the wrist can be what engineers call a pin joint, loose and able to flex under the forces. Or it can bend and extend to add power like in a short range ultimate throw. Or, the pivot can be around the finger, with a loose grip at that point.
The old hammer pound drills and the sidearm hammer drill video by uk disc golf (he's here but I forget his user name) show the disc deep in the hand and not loosely pivoting around the finger, but using a loose wrist with a lot of wrist motion possible. But there's also a suggestion (from jaani I think) that both forehand and backhand can be thrown well deliberately letting the disc rotate out, and the S&T guy has some video on the one finger grip. Is there maybe an advantage, at slower arm speeds?
How does the disc pivot around the grip in the release on bh?
It is simple enough, yet I cant really wrap my head around this concept.
I would also appreciate you showing how the finger spring works on a slomo putting video. If you have them down maybe even different versions of the finger spring.
Try full-power throws with the intention of pinching the disc as lightly as possible vs as tightly as possible. I would like to see what the wrist looks like with these different intentions.
Sure.
Though I have the answer for that already.
Because the "nose" of the disc isn't next to your thumb and pointer finger.If you soundly debunk 'pouring the coffee' I would love to see it. I am definitely not claiming it can't be done, but I will need to see it to fully believe it
I do think some peoples swing timing is off to the point where pouring the coffee does indeed end up nose up, but if you have anything close to the ideal hit-zone, its sound advice imo.
Oh you talking about briefcase.Just tell me directly what to do since I don't throw coffee pots or hammers...is it that move where Simon or Gannon start forward on anhyzer then snap to hyzer at the release point?

So pointing that down isn't going to "put the nose down." And that's what people teach.
Jaani's Instagram is back up. I emailed him a few days ago and he was taking a break from social media. He also uploaded a couple videos in the last day on YouTube. But he's back now on all his socials.Unfortunately Jaani deleted his instagram account, so I lost all my ability to communicate with him now.
But were trying to grab accurate data on "what it does" vs speculation that a lot of people make. I duno who S&T is and the 1 finger grip.

S&T should be Spin and Throw - essentially Bradley Walker had a YouTube channel, Facebook group, and Patreon, but stopped producing content and coaching over a year ago.
