I agree with you that a net is useless without Tech Disc if you're just going to throw into it and nothing else. You'll probably just end up reinforcing bad habits or creating new ones. You need the net PLUS getting video of your form. That's the quickest way to wholesale changes in your form.
Throw into the net while taping your form.
Review your taped form (or have someone else review it).
Identify changes needed.
Work on those changes while taping it.
Throw into the net while taping your form.
Repeat.
You can do the same thing without a net and videotaping yourself throwing. That's just a lot less efficient because it requires being outside when conditions might not be great, and then going and picking up your discs.
If you want to make real changes to your form though, there's almost no getting around the act of taping yourself (or having someone else tape you) to see how you actually throw.
Yeah, I think that is something I have to remember when talking about using a net.
I forget that when I make my pro net speeches. Yes, its the best net ever.
Uhh.
lawl.
I forget that when I talk about nets being great, I'm assuming that someone that is using a net knows how to make the corrections they need to make, or they understand the drill they are working on while using the net and how to properly execute and practice that drill.
So, if you dont have a good feel for what your body is doing, I can see a net being bad for some practicing as the feedback is necessary for them to know if they were successful to any level.
But, I can also argue that you can chase flight and not form if you're throwing in a field.
That old saying comes into play. 6 of one, half a dozen of another.
I'd more strongly suggest practicing drills into a net. That way you can focus on the drill while watching yourself in a mirror. I think that is one thing people dont think of is the old technique that they do in martial arts... where there are mirrors everywhere, so you can watch yourself do the moves.
Double doody on this one too, cause it will train you to stop jerking your head to start the throw, because you'll be watching yourself in the mirror.
