I've always been a sidearm thrower and last year I started throwing RHBH because I felt some elbow pain when throwing sidearm.
It's been a pretty hellIish journey getting my form down because it doesn't come real natural to me, but I'm on the verge of getting my form down. However my distance still isn't great, and frankly I enjoy throwing sidearm more.
I see the value of throwing backhand and I want to continue growing that skill, but realistically most regular courses, if they do present challenges are primarily for RHBH throwers anyways, so that isn't a main concern.
RECENTLY...I just got a disc that I love throwing forearm and I'm wondering if throwing sidearm is sustainable and I just need to change my form a bit to get my hips involved more, or if that is going to cause problems long term no matter what, and I should stick with learning RHBH.
Advice from long term sidearm throwers would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
