Couple of questions from the video. 3:50-6:00 1. You say not to let the rear foot spin out in the backswing. Does this apply only to standstills, or to x-step as well? 2. Related - Should we have a neutral hip/foot position throughout the run-up/x-step as well? 6:00-7:00 What is the purpose of...

I see/feel a lot of improvement in my upper body and posture now. The swing thought “shoulders pressed down and attached to spine” is what helps me stop pulling the disc. I also think I was over-reaching with my arm previously, which caused a disconnect between my torso and shoulder, collapsing...

Been doing a lot of shadow swings and swing drills for the past two weeks. Have resigned myself to throwing standstills only till I can get my posture, hip motion, and weight transfer looking better. This was my best of the bunch today. I find that I can only throw at my aim point if my plant...

I’ve been dealing with golfer’s elbow for the past couple of months and it’s very discouraging. I’ll have to give this a try!

Had a realization today: I think my core is very weak/lazy. Went out to work on hip hinge, and discovered that when I hinge at the hips, I naturally have zero core activation, which causes my anterior pelvic tilt. If I engage my core, I’m able to correct it. Unfortunately, I think this poor...

What’s the name of your YT channel? Do you have any documented instances of teaching people to throw over 400?

Dang it, this posture thing is killing me! I’ll try again hopefully today.

More hammer swings, looking much better I think. Also did some standstills. Am I over-turning my hips in my backswing in the drills and throws?

Thanks for all your help so far, SW. Alright, I’m thinking hammer toss drills will be my best bet for getting used to a more athletic stance in terms of hip hinge and spine extension. Went out today and learned that I suck at throwing hammers. The second rear view video is better (I think??).

Struggling to think of how to get my body in that more athletic posture. Would door frame drills help me get out of that extended spine position?

Is my stride too long even in the regular throw? At the end of the swivel video, you talk about how you should be stacked over the front foot (or slightly behind when moving dynamically) as you swing thru. If that’s the case, why do so many pros look like they have their front foot way beyond...

I also recorded another side view video, and included my practice swing beforehand. Can anyone tell me why my rear leg action looks so much better during the practice swing?

Here’s video from behind, I’ll do some door frame drills and upload later.

When you say hinge into the front hip, do you mean bending over at the waist and staying down over the disc through the swing? Went out at lunch today to attempt to fix the shoulder level thing, wasn’t very successful. Shoulders look marginally more level, but still end up in that anterior...

With regards to the hiked-up shoulder and poor power pocket: is this because I am pulling the disc/activating my arm early? Should I be actively trying to pull the disc toward myself to achieve a better pocket, or is the pocket simply the result of optimal upper body timing?
