Form check/Help with injury

[Daneholmberg]

I woke up around 16 months ago with slight pain in my elbow. After the winter was over I played and had a low amount of pain in my elbow which persisted throughout all of last season. I got a couple braces and made sure I wasn't sleeping on it. Physical therapist thinks it's due to repeated stress to my joint.
He recommended focusing on my follow through, making sure I didn't put on the energy on my elbow before rotating, in these videos I'm slightly focusing on that. If anyone has any tips to further reduce stress to my elbow just as I'm releasing and my arm is fully extending that would be great. I'm obviously not throwing 100% in these and haven't for some time.

Also any other obvious flaws in my form unrelated to my elbow also would be much appreciated.

Turn your whole body further back going into the plant. Note how your right shoulder is not loaded or swung back behind the left shoulder. Your rear hip needs to turn further back/buttwipe.

Start w/ what SW22 said. Wanted to add that I found that my elbow strain was related to the path my shoulder takes from the backswing onward. Right now you bring your shoulder up and open, and your arm is finishing through low rather than on the best "swing the hammer" path.

I attached an image from me vs SW22 a couple weeks ago where my shoulder would still finish too low sometimes.

Among other things, you can see in the finish my throwing arm is lower than his. It's putting more torque on the elbow entering the hit, and more torque on the shoulder in the follow through. Cleaning it up is reducing additional strain on the arm and shoulder overall and yields better throws.

You want to swing your shoulder back away from the target in the backswing and forward over the knee into the throw like he explains e.g. at ~11:26 in Reciprocating Dingle Arm - Flat does not exist.

It's easier to feel more vertically with a hammer:

@sidewinder22 I never responded here but your advice worked wonders. Within a couple weeks after this I went from ~420 to 460 then reached almost 500 within a couple months and I wasn't stressing my elbow so much.
Right at the end of the season all of the sudden I lost it completely and it's come back a bit but I've never been able to get back to those levels.

I made a new post, I think I'm turning my hips enough? Must be something else that went wrong.

Form Check/Follow up

https://www.dgcoursereview.com/threads/form-check-help-with-injury.147800/ I posted this a couple years ago. Advice really helped but I've regressed in distance and also sometimes my elbow still hurts when i throw sometimes it doesn't. First video is yesterday, 2 others are from a month ago...
