I’d rather throw a 100’ turnover flick than a 100’ backhand. Or, rather, I’m way better that way. My max “putt” is C2. More like mid C2. Those who can get 150’ from a putting stroke are Iike 650’ throwers to me.

It's very hard to coordinate a 100' backhand. or even 150' for that matter. You can't slow down snapping the disc at the release. The only way is to slip it out early then you have to time the microseconds of when to let go to take off power. I try to putt as far as I can, then next option is forehand with a zone, then if I really have to I'll backhand a berg or envy and try to slip it out. But then sometimes it slips out way too early and you throw it like 50'. Lol

I can throw nose-up backhand approaches that nestle fine, with a Sky God4 or Rainmaker. The nose up and no backswing while still looking at the target shot. Still prefer flick.

If you haven't I highly suggest watching these two clips from Michael Strauss, absolute game changers to my short game. Didn't click 100% the first session but a couple days later and it was cake. I've also now started incorporating inspiration from Lizotte and how he rocks on his front heel with a very open foot, also super nice to dial down power.

If you're not on instagram you can just google instagram downloader and paste the links to get the video files.

That looks like another way to understand the Beto drill maybe.
