I believe I am stuck at this plateau. I have a few throws here and there that go about 40-50' past that, but it's not a controllable thing for me, and I never realise what it is I did to obtain it when I do. I recall reading in the incomplete secret technique thread about the flip-back maneuver helping a few guys break through to the next level. When I throw, I keep my thumb forward, use a power grip with all four fingers under the rim, and have my grip loose until the pivot. As the pivot happens, I pull into my hand with my four fingers as hard as I can, and try to pivot the disc along with my wrist as i open up. I'm still getting some microslips, but it's going straight and accurate. I'm not getting a pinch between my thumb and my index finger, but the disc IS ripping off of my index finger. I have a blister to prove it, lol. My question is this. Should I be doing something different during the pivot? Should I NOT accelerate through the pivot, just at the end? I'm going to be getting out again this Tuesday, and I would like to maybe take a few suggestions with me when I go to add direction to my field practice. I feel I'm close to figuring it out, but I'm just not quite there, hence the post. Any and all suggestions are appreciated
