Eagle's foot looks neutral to me, in that it's basically lined up with his shoulders. His stance is more open than some of the other guys, but the foot is still the same in relation to the body.

How do you define open vs closed? I thought open meant that the plant foot is pointed in the direction of the throw and closed meant the plant foot is perpendicular to the throw direction.
700ft fh? hmm.. at first I wasn't buying it, then the video of Cedar Creek was mentioned (hole #9) and then I watched him fh 500+ on a hyzer. wow.. not sure a full flex flight could add another 180-200ft, but it would be cool to see what he is capable of.
The "front leg" vid talks about it some. It's how the feet/ankles line up to the trajectory. If your front ankle covers your rear ankle it would be closed stance.How do you define open vs closed?

Par save just released coverage of the Cedar Creek Open and Sheldon is featured on a couple rounds. Unreal sidearm. The last hole of the final 9 round he throws a destroyer 500+ on a hyzer

Front foot pointed at trajectory(not target) is usually an indicator, but flexibility can vary. You have to pay attention to the trajectory, hyzers will often appear to be open to the target.
Do we need to talk about your flare?well then i am not sure if i throw open or closed
my toe points towards front of target but now idk im all confused

But I just need to....um....stick to forehand, or maybe sidearm? :doh:
I get tomahawks, grenades, etc, but is there an accepted difference between a "forehand" and a "sidearm" shot? opcorn:

Forehand backhand. Sidearm acrossarm.
Alex Geisinger is a top contender for the longest forehand in disc golf. I'd say the same for his backhand distance. I've seen him in person throw 500'+ sidearm and 600'+ backhand.
Sorry for being thick, but I'm not understanding the comment.
