Think I made some progress: MUCHF4Ln4ME dYJs3zalYMY Was focusing on not tipping over and blowing past my brace as well as getting my rear leg more behind me. I started to get my weight coming through my crotch more and feeling how my thighs squeezed together and the rear leg wanted to "smash"...

Been a while but trying to get back at it now that spring is here. Had a session with a TechDisc yesterday that confirmed what everyone advises - x-step only fucks things up for the most part! So back to standstills and focusing on two things: keeping shoulders more closed - trying to base the...

Thank you! This is a good tip, I've been struggling with that pesky back leg standing me up in the shot. I'll focus on trying to make that happen.

Some new footage. I spent a lot of time doing battering ram motions and pretending to throw something heavy onto a roof. What I started to feel (I think) was the concept behind "Shifting Correctly Makes Bracing Easy", in order to get the maximum energy going "straight" you need to shift ~20...

Thanks Kennets! I almost didn't include those last throws, but I'm glad I did. I think doing work to make my disc throws more like my hammer throws is key. The hammer throws feel good but when I throw a disc it is a very different swing. Good to hear some experiences from a fellow lanky...

Focusing bigtime on the rear foot pressure and screwing into the ground in the backswing. I was feeling this way more in my rear glute and could tell there was lots of power and tension stored. wLrHYely_7o I think my rear push is still way too late and I'm loosing my "stack". I had some...

Can't edit but meant to mention that this: I think is what you mean by "spinning out"

Was rewatching some of those Mike Maves videos and got something new out of them with the eversion point you brought up Sidewinder. In one video he talks about how many people get the backswing coiled up with lots of energy but when they start to shift they lose pressure on their backdoor and...

Back at it - I spent some time against a wall on Inside Swing concepts and tried to incorporate them. Main topics for this session were: * Inside Swing, keeping hips more in place and getting a good internal rotation and twisted up feeling in the upper body. This includes feeling the leverage...

Thanks for the feedback - super helpful as always. I had a quick 15 minute session earlier and did some more riding the bull and throws focused on the hammer toss feeling and being "stacked": Bull ride KWNM-bnhNFY I was thinking a bit of the backswing "levitation" and the double crush the...

I think I was doing more of a "lateral hop" type exercise rather than riding a bull. Would a mental cue like "be godzilla smashing **** with his tail" seem to invoke more of the right hip and butt movement? That's what popped into my head immediately, that and skiing moguls. Glad to hear the...

Dropping a note to myself here to do some elephant walks next session to work on timing and dynamic posture

Got out to do some drills today focused on riding the bull and a bit of hammer swings Riding the bull + Hammer Tosses g2DxkBYp5qY Two and a half drills there: 1. Ride the bull - trying to feel the momentum going side to side and catching it on my heel without 'tipping over'. It feels quite...

Great advice Brychanus - "ride the bull" makes a lot more sense to me now in this context and seems to pinpoint my issue of throwing low. I played a round yesterday and did a spot of form work afterwards focusing on "levitating" in the backswing and going slow. These are a couple throws just...

ocB_LxPUoTY The second throw in that clip is one my better throws ever. bgKNXhIGYC8 That clip shows a more typical throw lacking a solid brace. I end up going over the end of the teepad on both throws. RiBYtj2B6QY This is a drill session really focusing on getting the weight into the heel...
