I had missed this one completely being in Holland for dubs and filming the Dutch Open.
I'd call your execution speed and form control shot if it weren't for the run up steps before the x step. I don't think that run up gives you much advantage but it could very well put you at a disadvantage. You should be able to throw equally far with just the x step once you accelerate the arm harder. And move the legs faster with the x and the plant step. Your arm is moving at a fairly constant speed and fairly slowly. You need to get the arm moving fast so you should train that first train that from stand still concentrating on moving the arm as fast as possible.
The plant step is a foot too long for that speed so you shouldn't kick the right leg toward the target from the hip when your chest points 90 degrees left of the target.
Your arm is far away from the body all the time and it works for some because it is easier to snap harder when the muscles are looser but the angles to make the wrist snap fully are much more difficult to make happen. Because it takes much more power to get similar wrist snap when pulling away from the chest. The elbow should lead the rest of the am a nit further to get to the angles at the elbow and the wrist where the max snap happens. Right pec position and right pec drill are the usual starting points.
Your arm height at the reach back is the highest of the throw and you go lowest at the middle of the throw and release on an upward arm motion from that lowest point. That is why your disc rises fast and is nose up and probably semi or fully stalls high too early. If you keep the arm at a constant height you'll lower the apex of the flight and have the disc flying faster on average fading later and going farther. This is major and you really should train this a lot. There's a lot of D available from this change.
You don't generate a lot of power from the hips and the shoulders. They are at neutral position fairly quickly after the reach back but you don't really turn them to the left for added power and distance.
Your run up distance and plant step planting position are aligned for a flat shot but your arm moved mostly on hyzers. For a flat release you need to only correct the arm plane. For a hyzer throw the running direction should be rear right to front left and the plant position should move a little to the left according to the angle of the hyzer. Mild hyzer needs to move less to the left in the plant position and a steep hyzer more.
Can you stiffen the muscles in the left leg a little more so that you would pivot rotating to the left more instead of stepping forward?
