what really really helps me to not break the chain between lower body and arm is keeping as loose of a grip on the disc as possible in order to feel the weight of the disc. It's really tough to feel the weight of a 175g piece of plastic if i'm gorilla gripping it, and if my grip is too tight, i...

-D_G_h7RRP8 I've got time off so i've had the opportunity to keep at it. I feel the timing difference when I shift to my rear leg before the back swing starts, but I need to again loosen up more and really make sure i'm not starting the backshift early, which I think i still am, albeit better...

that makes perfect sense because planting the rear before the back motion is mirroring the motion for the front of the swing. the same reason i want to plant front foot simultaneously/right after apex of reachback is same reason i want rear foot planted before i start my backswing, right? so...

9BYzSvKOy44 Today's throws. proving to myself i can be loose. I think i was looser, but still actually pretty stiff. The throw at 0:23 seconds was really nice and looks nice too. I think I understand the purpose of the elephant walk more clearly now as i've made tweaks to my lower body...

thanks. i was for sure thinking about a lot. looking at my drives from 12/10 they look a lot more relaxed (and I had some more successful throws), so i'll try tapping into that more. I think I had an ah-ha moment after this session back at home where i was hopping from foot to foot, just like...

Here's some drives for today. Took some time off of practicing, so shaking some rust off and trying to re-remember what I'm focusing on. 3fuliCL8tt4 I'm focused on timing of the heel and the reachback, and trying to throw with a one step vs. both legs planted. in the process i've totally left...

the butt back/sitting in a chair analogy seems like a good way to maintain posture. Often i find myself doing that exact early extension, and I can feel it in my follow through, twisting and arching my back to try and keep from falling over. One thing to be careful with is to make sure sitting...

For the timing of the shift, does it come at the apex of the reachback? Essentially, should weight be shifted totally to the lead leg, with rear leg deweighted, before the upper body begins pulling the arm through? This is how I've been thinking about shifting from behind, because at apex of...

sweet. I had that in my notes that I wrote down for myself to focus on the lead leg more, as I have a tendency to sink/settle into it rather than block off of it. moving it forward a bit and sticking it into the ground like a skater/running back also makes sense to tackle while working on...

_rUvcejFU3w Some drives today, focusing on starting in a neutral stance and trying to keep the shoulder position more closed at the hit. Main notes: - I'm pulling through from maximum reach back too early; by the time my heel on my pivot foot is planted, i've already almost got my shoulder...

Thanks for clarifying, that's really helpful. I think what you're saying with feeling both heels off the ground is making some other stuff i've been thinking about click. In my previous post with the drives, I was talking about how I was feeling like I was spinning out, but I guess I didn't...

sorry I'm not being clear at all with my writing. My fault. Let me start over! In my most recent video, my starting stance was too wide and not an athletic position. Next time I throw, I should plan to start in a neutral, just outside the shoulder stance, then stride into a wider throwing...

I'm not following. Are you saying throw from a neutral, just outside of shoulder width stance, or start there, then shift to a wider stance? I understand I'm not shifting my weight. That's why I'm posting here :D

Yes I understand this, you said start from a neutral, just outside of shoulder width position, vs a wider stance. I shift into a wider stance, I don't throw from the neutral position, is all I'm saying. That's what you're saying too right?
