The hip rotation works in conjunction with the weight shift. I can shift side to side and get absolutely no hip rotation. The hips can rotate one of two ways- they can be dragged through and turned by strong arming or they can be initiated by the legs just before front foot plant which also triggers torso and shoulder rotation which whips the disc through via the arm lever.

This is physically impossible, especially if you land toe to heel, or make a backswing.

Or you can remain planted and rotate them on One Leg with the arm following along for the ride.

Strong Arming on One Leg will get you maybe 50'.

I just videoed myself and just practiced backswing and pull through with no rotation emphasis and guess what? Absolutely no hip rotation. So, yes, it is possible
I can show you the video if you want.
The problem with standing solely on the front leg and trying to throw from it is that you end up using your momentum of the arm and disc to rotate from the top down which drags the hips through last. That is what happens when you strong arm.
I look at players like Paige Pierce who, because of their small frame, must use legs and hips to generate power. This video is one of my favorites because it shows very clearly how and when her hips begin to rotate. Watch precisely at the 1:05 mark. At this moment her hips begin to rotate but you can tell that her weight hasn't fully come into brace yet because the hip isn't rising upwards just yet. As brace happens and her hip comes up the rotation continues on up in that kinetic chain. She's literally unwinding from her legs upwards into her shoulders. The key here is that the hips begin to rotate during the weight transition from rear to front leg. We know the brace moment because the front hip comes upwards as her weight comes forward into the brace.

So... Last time I posted this your analysis was that this is strong arming.

Please watch it again and where your focus should be is my front knee, front hip and rear leg countering the swing. You can also take note how the leg "pumps/whips" my lower arm open. and IF I was strong arming I would never get to that finish position due to muscle tension preventing me swinging fluidly thru.

This is not true. Put some accelerometers on and then show me the real data instead of your perception.

Almost sounds like Feldberg's Hip to Sky Drill that you say is terrible. Looks like his hips rotated making that lateral shift just like Paige.

Yeah, it's strong arming. Your shoulders are ahead of your hips in rotation. Strongarming at its finest.

The noob trap is not understanding the quest. Learning how to throw, with both distance and accuracy, and then translating what you learn into competition, is a journey. One that has changes. One that will provide you with a multitude of discoveries....some helpful, some setbacks, most just plateaus to be used as building blocks. Noobs embrace a discovery and fail to understand the importance of the foundation and it generally stalls their progress. Many of us have really felt we figured it out.

"A smart man makes a mistake, learns from it, and never makes that mistake again.But a wise man finds a smart man and learns from him how to avoid the mistake altogether."

Roy H. Williams

The feel ain't real.

If you don't understand how Feldberg's advice fits in, you have an incomplete understanding.

That's the thing about traps...if you don't heed the warnings you won't realize you are in one until it's too late.

This is so solid ...hope you don’t mind but I slowed this down and made it into a gif. Really been working on feeling the slingshot/trebuchet from the one leg and you execute it perfectly.

That's a good drill Paige is doing but that's just laterally shifting back and forth. It's not what actually happens when she throws. As she shifts laterally her hips are already rotating. The lead hip coming up signifies strong brace or full weight shift. If we freeze it precisely at that moment her hips are already substantially open thus proving that shift into strong brace isnt what initiates hip rotation.
