I actually purposely have/had a pretty short stride using the x-step. I thought that was making it easier for me to keep balanced - controlled, maybe, is the right word. Wondering now, maybe that is taking away from my leg speed/power - stepping too short (and slow)? Thinking about it now, pros and guys in videos definitely step a lot longer and harder into their throws than I do. I guess to some extent I thought I should be going slower and easier, getting my form consistent, then gradually increase speed later when I got my form down (muscle memory how to do things right, then gradually ad more speed and power). Now I don't know - I definitely don't have this whole thing figured out, at all!!! I have been taking a very short, almost casual x-step, and when I try to go faster and harder, that tends to be when I screw up badly - lose consistency, and throws start going all over the place. Thoughts from those who have been here, on which way I should be approaching this, as I try to increase beyond 200 feet??? Maybe for a bit, I stop the x-step, and try a single step, and try it both ways, slower versus faster - see if I can keep consistent trying to make that last, single step, faster and more powerful? See if, using a faster single step, can I add distance versus a slower single step, without losing consistency? Hard to know what to do, or try - there are so many things going on all at once, or at least so fast - so many variables. Not sure when my focus should be on this, "slow is smooth, and smooth is far", that I see so often, versus are there things that I am just going to have to try to get good at going faster and/or harder to ever throw further? Uggghhh, I feel like such a rookie! Sometimes, the more I study, the more I realize I don't know, if that makes sense??? :wall: :wall: :wall: I definitely, asap, need to get together with my son, and make sure we video each other, so we can watch what we are actually doing - so I can compare reality, versus the picture in my head of what I think I am doing! Maybe that will help me stop feeling quite so much like I am :wall: :wall: :wall:, and give me some concrete things to know what I am doing well, versus what I need to work on?! Maybe. Lol.
