Some talk about Kyle Berkshire Monster Walk, and throwing/heaving the swing/pump forward before the backswing and throwing into the backswing away from target.

I'd love to see your elephant walk.
There may be some variance, I think Paige starts bracing harder on the toes which breaks the elbow a little earlier/quicker. I don't see Paul's elbow start breaking until his heel plants at least on longer shots.
Swing don't Pull. You should get pulled by the swing. The "elbow is always forward" unless you let your upper arm/shoulder collapse. The arm may start dropping before the plant as long as there is no effort before.

This is difference between a lot of ams and pros going toe to heel:
Something that stood out to me was the melodic nature of how Dr. Kwon was saying "shift" and "turn". Might help thinking that way in the disc golf throw.
I know that he is shifting his weight in the standstill, but it totally looks like he is doing what many consider to be rounding with his upper body. His elbow doesn't hinge and he pulls the disc back behind him and then he swings around his front leg. Can you shed some light on this?

"Rounding" only happens when the upper arm collapses against the chest and the disc has to swing around the left shoulder and your center.I know that he is shifting his weight in the standstill, but it totally looks like he is doing what many consider to be rounding with his upper body.

The sequence going into the x-step is the same here, Dave is just more forward facing and taking a larger first step which affects the speed/timing somewhat.Other pros seem to do a pump that seems more inline with the EW rhythm: pumping forward while over right foot, back over left. McBeth, Williams, Feldberg. I remember reading that you initially emulated Feldberg's swing to learn the pendulum timing. What lead you to switch things up?
I think the difference is I pump all the way thru the hit/impact to the release point, while Dave pumps to the hit/impact point.
Dave is also making a more rhymic and lateral move while I'm too rotational.
First frame is the completion of the full pump to target, the disc has ceased its forward acceleration relative to target and trailing foot( right foot here) is leaving ground.
