7dyJBxIEscA I think I'm taking the baby steps of what's gonna be my final backhand form - and funnily enough, throwing on the carpet with socks on, sometimes when I plant my foot slides and I feel my butt coming down (as you've referenced in so many videos). I'm still tweaking things because...

Alrightyyyy - I got it, I'm pretty confident saying I've got it now; at least in practice swings at home. I can also say there's no way I can trust it in an actual throw yet, I have no idea how to aim or control angles. I guess I could just throw with the new form until it becomes natural and...

So, I think I finally uncovered the mental blocks and it's gonna be weird as hell to try to throw "properly" but, basically, in an effort to be accurate I end up trying to move way too laterally towards the target. I don't really come over the top anymore, instead I'm way too behind and I've...

I think it's just a mental block, honestly. Or rather I'm too "goal-oriented" in a sense and it's dumb, I *KNOW* that what I'm thinking is wrong but I keep trying to do things the same way but only when a disc is in my hand. I don't think it's grip as much as it is something along the lines...

No matter what I do I *want* to rotate my upper body or I want to pull the disc.

I'm frustrated beyond belief and disc golf is almost unplayable for me, right now. My backhand is gone; probably "worse" than it was when I first started throwing. I don't think I'm coming over the tip anymore but I'm getting absolutely no weight shift or power into my shot on BH at all, for...

I've made some decent progress, kinda - it's not consistent yet but I'm becoming more aware of how "little things" affect the rest of the throw. So I can throw with the brace now - I now realize that my "Swaying Center" was caused by over-rotating my hips in the X-step and in order to...

Yeah, you're having one of the problems that I used to have and that's not "maintaining center" with some of the same root causes; kinda interesting watching somebody else do it, haha. My advice would be don't "TRY" to x-step because right now, you're only doing it cosmetically so it's not...

I'll post some videos this week, hopefully. I might've figured out the issue but not really. I took a 2.5lb weight plate, put it on the flight plate of the disc and went through form; maybe without the extra weight I still subconciously want to "move" the disc but you really don't - the...

There's still gotta be some minor details I'm missing with the transition from X-step to plant/throw. Ironically, the idea of throwing with nothing but the weight shift has made my forehand monstrous and it's my preferred throw at the moment. Consistently getting 375+ Did some coaching with a...

I, very recently, fixed my putting after more than 5+ years putting with a crazy nose down push putt. To me your stance looks a little unbalanced; if you do the Feldy hop (stand with non-dominant shoulder facing basket, jump up and spin towards your dominant side/right shoulder/right foot and...

Yooooo - I think I got it. The last month I've been slowly stair-stepping my way up but I think I just felt good form, finally. Quick notes so I don't forget :clap: My biggest takeaways: 1) The X-Step is more of a byproduct; it has taken me such a long time to understand this. The x-step...

I don't want to say I've "got it" but I can feel good form when I throw without a disc. Right hip stays forward even in the X-step; when I plant I can feel gravity compress me and initiate the arm swing. You end up in the power pocket without having to move your arm at all. But I have an old...

The Shaolin punch GIF helped the most - very easy to see that the legs/feet are moving long before the arm ever does. Definitely helped me throw more with my hips/leg/ground. When you stride - are you literally striding as far as you can though? I'm bracing better but still coming over the top...

Might be too abstract of a question to answer BUT... How fast does the entire motion feel for you guys? I'm deliberately trying to get a new feeling into my right leg/plant and my results have been a little chaotic but, at the very least, I've been able to get the nose down on some shots...
