Hey, all. I posted a video some time back of my awful form. For comparison's sake, here's the videos I posted last time.
These were all recorded with a crappy cellphone camera. The wind in the second set of videos is really loud - it was really howling that day.
Before!
Down the line, part 1:
Down the line, part 2:
Side view:
Check out those tyrannosaurus arms!
After!
Down the line:
I think it's clear that I threw this one with nose up, but I decided to use it because it felt as close to a typical throw as I could do for the camera. I do not normally send shots sky-high, they normally stay within 20 feet of the ground unless I'm throwing tomahawks or trying to get over stuff. The headwind didn't help much here with the nose-up, as you can see. I was trying to throw it as hard as I could, for the record.
Side view:
A shorter throw, although basically a throw made with power in mind. I can throw my Vector farther, but I generally don't throw my mids as absolutely hard as I can. This one was a Vector, ended up about 10' from a 250' pin.
No more tyrannosaurus arms though!
I normally get about 300'-330' on power drives, but if I really remember to try to use my body, I can throw 350'. It's hardly what I would call reliable, though. The max throws stated above are typically made with speed 9 discs.
I welcome any positive, objective criticism! (I say 'objective,' because one of the things I hate is when people post videos and just say, 'your timing is wrong,' and then leave it at that. If something is wrong, please tell me how it's wrong, or I can't use it to improve! )
My goal here is to increase my distance potential. I generally do not suffer from accuracy issues, but if you see anything glaring that would affect accuracy, I welcome that input as well.
Thank you in advance for your time!

Finally, for sh*ts and giggles!
Here's an outtake:
And one of our little club's major players. This guy throws it around his body like a frisbee, looks like he puts no effort into it, and throws 400' or more. Crazy:
