I thought I was getting the disc to the outside at full reach back correctly. Throwing today I unconsciously started getting the disc much more outside which made a huge difference in how balanced and in control I felt and in my ability to line up the pull line. I had previously tried moving...

Grammar mistake at the first word. New personal best

Your right, I was going about that the wrong way. I need to remember to think brace!!! first when evaluating what my front side is doing. This was from a couple days ago during a strange moment when my mechanics felt natural. I haven't quite been able to reproduce that feeling but I am...

Worked on standstill and one leg drill. I don't think I was focusing on or setting up to swing explosively through the hit before, at least not when trying to use an x-step. Staying focused on throwing through the hit as I move through the x-step seems to help maintain better balance and avoid...

Is this right? I need to stride with my front for more neutral or turned slightly towards target and then close it going into the plant. So instead of having my hips mostly stationary going into the plant they will be loading as I start to plant

Worked on getting turned further back at the plant. I didn't feel like I was hugging myself and I was creating an ok power pocket, but my elbow still looks a little low. I think I physically understand what you mean by "pendulumming the shoulder" now. In trying to smooth out the weight shift...

I think I'm actually shifting my weight forward before my arm now; it feels much more like I am throwing from the ground up. I think I am also becoming more aware of when I break sequence and lose control of the momentum I had built up. I notice this most often as I near the hit with my front...

I've noticed that when I go through the weight shift inside swinging a towel or something it feels really strong and definitely feels like I'm getting the weight forward. Watching the video I'm not really sure. But then trying to do the same thing holding a disc in a field and it feels weak...

In this video he does. Right at the hit you can see his thumb pushing down and in the frame just after release his thumb is below his hand and pointed toward the target. I don't think you can hold on to the disc past the 3 o clock position without rounding if you don't do this...

Yeah, so I went back through the drills and did some standstill work and I think I fixed a lot of that. I am working on putting the whole throw together now. While doing this I have been trying to focus on staying slow and maintaining sequencing so that I am positioned to accelerate through...

Trying to push more off the inside edge of my foot going into the plant. I'm not really sure if I am doing this right. I was focused on making sure I was on the inside edge of my rear foot going into the plant and I never felt if I was doing "the move" or not. It looks like I am still...

I tried to improve the shoulder swing, dinglearm, and off arm position by only focusing on smashing all the way through into recoil. My stance looks a little wide and upright, maybe planting too open, and maybe leading with my head. I transitioned from a weak follow -> stronger follow through...

I think a lot of my form issues, including, elbow high to low, shoulder not low or back enough, not loading much in general, reach back timing, not planting toe to heel, and wide horse stance, stem from moving through the x-step and butt wipe drill poorly/incorrectly. Even when I was trying to...

Thank you, that breakdown was helpful. I've been trying to stay on my toes, maintain a more athletic posture, and not "cheat" during the reach back by folding over my rear leg or turning my head back early. I started to notice a more pronounced "catching my weight from behind" feeling today...
