This summer I've committed myself to learning how to stop strong-arming. For some reason it took a while, but the idea of the loose/dingle arm has started to make sense to me.
I've been trying to keep my grip and arm as loose as possible until the disc reaches the hit. My goal is to grip the disc hard at the hit and extend the arm forward.
I think I might be starting to do this correctly because I can feel what I think may be the weight of the disc at the hit. The best way I can describe it is a feeling of force/pressure infront of my chest that feels tangible (i.e. I could grab this force and throw it).
The problem I'm having is that this feeling dissipates before I feel like I've acted on it. I think this might be because I'm still gripping/engaging my arm before the hit (i.e. still strong-arming but less)? Alternatively, I've been wondering if its possible that I'm not gripping hard enough at the hit? Or collapsing the shoulder/levers of the arm?
Im wondering if anyone can describe what the weight of the disc feels like to them throughout the swing. When do you notice the weight and how do you react to it?
