Hey y'all,
I am working on trying to completely revamp my backhand form.
As per seabas22's suggestions, I switched to a pendulum/loose arm swing style. I feel like I have more considerably more power than before and was able to throw a fairly easy 360, maybe a little bit more on turnover lines.
The pendulum feels way more natural and effortless and gives me more energy transfer from my body to arm to disc.I feel like there's a bit less rounding. However, I know I'm missing out on a lot of power.
But I still feel like im not doing enough of a lateral move/brace in the throw. I feel like I'm getting an inertia effect that helps propel the disc, but I feel like I'm twisting my hips/not bracing into the throw a bit. I'm struggling to get more lat engagement and really using my body weight to boom the pendulum forward rather than hip twist (bad.)
I currently throw about 360 with fairway driver, 320 ish with mids, 300 with putter.
Here's my new form with the pendulum motion:

The first two were with a putter.
This is my old form (ew):
