I think some of my frustration when my video doesn't match the form I think I just did is due to that. I wasn't in the right posture partly because I lacked some specific mobility. (and of course partly because of coordination and understanding) Probably some techniques need to be...

These two different approaches to mechanical throwers hit the internet 3 days apart.

Looking at The Method vs The Alternate Method brought up a question that may relate to the "different styles" thread. I haven't gone frame by frame, but this is what I think I see. Brian drops the rear hip hard, forcing weight onto the front brace, while throwing. In the alternate, Sebastian...

This was interesting, maybe deserves it's own thread. It does look like he's inching toward a front leg throw. A little strange maybe with the drive knee pointing backwards.

I finally got through all the videos on the Method website. I haven't got to all of Brychanus's recent vids but they look very intriguing. My impression so far (not claiming any expertise, just first impression) "The Method" probably works and possibly not for the reason Brian thinks it...

That part still confuses me a bit - how do you stand balanced on top, but at the same time be resisting lateral motion? I've done a lot of OLD and I think not understood the "feel" of it though I probably occasionally do it right. Weight moving behind seems to make a little more intuitive...

If the East/West spine tilt controls the hyzer angle, what controls the elevation angle? North/South tilt? Because sometimes we need to throw level or below, sometimes much higher?

Good find. In the yellow shirt Wiggins video, this is what I think I see. Intersecting lines define a plane, so the bent arm defines one plane and it isn't the same as the shoulder plane. The disc plate is on that plane from the pocket to the hit. Relative to the arm, the disc is moving...

I'm about to re-read the No Flat Swing thread. It occurs to me that if the disc is spinning without wobble, and it is nose up or nose down at all, the plane of the throw must not quite match the plane of the spin. ??

Yes the flight angle is what we're trying to produce. Is there more than one way to do it? Can you release the disc on a hyzer angle, but because it is understable and you threw it at the right speed, it flipped anhyzer? Can you take a disc that will not flip and throw it anhyzer? Maybe...

Thanks. I thought of putting it here in the first place, it might have fit either thread. I didn't bring it up to be argumentative. I have recently come to think getting the disc on plane at release is a neglected but crucial topic. Advanced players probably do it without thinking but some...

Umm. Not saying you're wrong. But I had a somewhat different interpretation. So...... Consider the shoulder plane. It wobbles a bit during the throw, as Tread Athletics graphics show, but near release it must be fairly stable. I would think the axis of rotation at that instant is a line...

I think I see what caused my confusion. It may have nothing to do with the TDG difference, dunno. The SW22 bullriding pole rotates around that yellow vertical axis. The lower end is essentially fixed, the upper end describes a circle around that axis. The figure "swept out" would look like a...

I remain confused. TDG talks about a stationary axis in his OLD phase 1. That is roughly head through spine through back leg. The photos of pros both in the coil position and at the hit looked tipped away from the target and roughly through spine and front leg - but on followthrough they are...

This is me thinking, or maybe speculating, but there should be an effect on the learning process. As I "picture" it (sorry) one piece is a feedback loop: setpoint, measurement, determine error, compute correction. For a thermostat, setpoint is desired temperature, measure actual temperature...
