My brother's form

My brother wanted me to take a video of one of his drives. He's been throwing backhand for about a year now. Always threw sidearm before. Has a problem with throwing it up, but still gets around 350'.

Move slow to fast and don't let your balance get on the rear heel(cooked). He is a bit Fred Flintstone in the x-step and then slows down on the last step when he should be accelerating. He also starts swinging before the weight transfers. Also looks like his elbow is too close to the body during the swing, keep elbow more level to shoulders, out/forward.

Thanks for the information. So are you saying the arm needs to come up? Like pull from a different angle.

Kind of but really it's more like the shoulder and core needs to be turned back more and lower. You want to swing the arm/disc like it weights a ton, like a sledgehammer, use your body.
