I can throw the Shark/Buzzz about 160 feet so I now have a base on which to improve.
Hello I am a newb and I am not as experienced as nearly everyone here. That being said I have a few honest advices for you.
#1: No drivers for now; they won't help you even a little bit. Work on throwing putters until you can throw farther than that. The important things to focus on are throwing level and making the disc spin. If it ain't spinning it ain't flying. You won't be able to blast nukes out there at 60mph so you have to stay relaxed and cool and let the disc do the work.
#2: Warming up by slowing swinging a small towel is a good way to avoid hurting yourself. This is an old favorite of players who like to throw overhead shots (a high-risk activity).
#3: Rely on big muscle groups as much as you possibly can. "Strong-Arming" drives is a real easy way to wreck yourself.
Good luck
