Watched this yesterday. As I listened to him, he said one thing that really 'hit home'. It was something like "most players have their back foot turned to the right" (for right hand throwers). That's me! Now I'm paying more attention to the video....what does he say I SHOULD be doing? Keep BOTH feet pointed on the line you want to throw. So I tried it in the house (no disc-my wife would be pissed). Okay, I can see a difference....but what about really throwing? I played in a league after work and every forehand shot (even upshots), I focused on my back foot pointing forward. My forehand throws were more accurate and on the line I intended. A small change, but a big difference.

Thanks for posting that link.

You turn the backfoot to the right for balance. My balance became jeapordized when i tried to point my backfoot forward.

He mentioned the good old keep the palm to the sky, but its just impossible to throw like that.

He says to tuck the elbow in, but his own arm is almost fully extended when he throws.
