instant feedback note
Haven't followed the entire conversation, but most recent video seems better. Compare the size of the "triangles" of basement floor made when your legs cross between this video and the others.
general theory note
Seems like your right leg is the dominant one* that does most of the work/lifting propelling your mass this way and that when you locomote in daily life. In the right-hand-back-hand-x-move throw, left leg should be the greater propellant (right is the stopper). In most of your basement throws, you are creating most of your forward energy with the right leg, which is heavily influencing your posture/lean. As you know, when a biped moves from one leg to another, the bottom of the spine moves toward the new-weight-bearing appendage while the top of the spine moves counter to it. The magnitude of the bend/lean/posture is related to that of the force being created by the weight-bearing-appendage. So, in the context of moving laterally in the right-hand-back-hand-x-move, using the right leg as main propellant generally creates more lean toward back of tee pad.
*here's a dominance test: sit on the floor and try to get to a standing position. Which leg did you use? Interesting note - it seems like it's physically impossible (without help from a teammate) to stand up from a on-the-floor-seated-position using both legs equally to lift your mass.
personal practice note
Rewiring this preferred leg dominance pattern in the context of the disc golf swing is a lot of work but simple enough to practice. Most of the initial practice should be without a disc in hand/trying to throw. I start my right-hand-back-hand-x-move throw from a mostly forward looking/square position, so to practice left leg propulsion, I put my right leg behind my left (important) to start and then go from there. For your more lateral initial address position, you'll probably need to cross your right leg in front of/behind left to feel the left leg activate as that Prime Mover and then go from there.
pro form video note
Watch Garrett's legs here - there's some pitter patter at the start, but watch which step really initiates his forward propulsion. Same as in the Simon video above.
hey man, thanks so much for coming back!
Triangle: Yes, I see what you mean. I think this is also trending less "pretzeled" than any previous move.
Leg dominance - your test clearly confirms right leg dominance. There's more to that story in my case & a general problem that I think is just a fact of life I am going to have to work with & around:
My left leg was completely spiral fractured below the knee at age 12.* That leg:
-is shorter than my right leg.
-had the head of the tibia completely detached. It grew back with an unusual bone mass/bridge.
-had the femur longitudinally sheared for about half its length (i.e., split longways). It healed back together at an angle with an unusual bone mass in the middle.
-developed profound weakness in the calf, hammy, and glute to the point that I couldn't stand up on it out of a chair, much less the ground (it's much better now, but not symmetric).
They told me I probably didn't need surgery at the time. I remember seeing the x-ray at age 12 (and quite shy) thinking "how the hell is that going to heal back together on its own?" Maybe the surgery would have turned out worse, who knows.
My lower left leg looks like this inside:
Practice note: despite all that your point makes total sense to me & jives with the waltz maneuver. Sidewinder already had me use slight opposite stagger to nudge me in that direction. But I think if I practice exaggerating this as you say maybe I can get it to connect to my waltz move as the "prime mover" off the rear leg. Make sense on paper to you?
Pro form: yep, see it right away. BTW I still work on a little pitter patter and booty shake/salsa, which does help.
