Geez, I'd kill (well, not that far) to be as on my toes as you. Athlete.
Throw: I like where it's trending, but still a bit of similar trouble on the rear side. I think more time with Load the Bow and Door frame is still justified. The rear side of Double Dragon will probably be important for you too. My point is that (a) your coil is still not quite where you want it and you're leaving some on the table (b) not fully recruiting your core and (c) trailing some weight when you shift off the rear side & (d) missing a bit of body tilt (source of efficient power) when you plant. That's fine and you'll be able to learn it- usually takes a few weeks to learn & solidify. I'd probably show your Door frame from both angles at this point to get posture input on each end of the move from reachback to release. Faster than messing around with a bunch of stuff IMO. Did more for me in 2-3 weeks than messing with more peripheral stuff.
Hailey: yeah, she's a good example of "posture control theory" as I am trying to describe. Most of her throw is keeping intact what she tends to do when teeing off at lower angles. Actually not a bad form example for you to be watching overall IMHO. It helped me to have a few pros I can visualize in my head on the fly as examples when making adjustments.
Will give you another example from KJUSA. Notice that he's bringing his backswing "low" for his Grenade relative to a full power distance drive, but overall his posture is adjusted relative to the reachback. I practiced with even lower backswings with that and even higher lines at one point and it taught my body a lot about leverage and efficient power to the point that I like attacking uphill holes sometimes. My point is just that you just always want your body committing the same(ish) chain if you want to power at different heights. Some pros appear to be a little more "arm adjusting" and some will be a little more "whole posture" adjusting or somewhere in between. Find whatever naturally gets you efficient power, IMO.
Grenade:
Full power(ish) drive - sorry the camera angle sucks, just sharing b/c of reachback/posture comparison.
BTW keep that at least that pump. It looks good for your rhythm overall. Might want to tinker with others if DFD/Double Dragon/Load the bow aren't getting you there on their own, but let's see.
