I realize this may be hard to help with, without seeing my "technique" or lack there of.
I've been practicing a lot lately. Today was the first time I actually started measuring distance. I knew I wasn't very long anyways. Took the laser range finder out and was maxing out at 240ft, and averaging 220-230ft controlled. By controlled I mean, I didn't measure any that went way outside of my imaginary fairway I was aiming for in the field. the last several rounds of throwing my mids and drivers, I was hitting the "fairway" (about a 15 yard wide area between two objects) 8 or 9 times out of 10. I was very pleased with that, but the distance is still a little lacking.
My drivers are three valkyries, and two leopards. They were nice level flights or so I thought, not very nose up, not big hyzer meathook type shots, nice gentle fades at the end, sometimes alittle S action on them. I was getting almost just as far with my mids two sharks and two stingrays, but I was getting them consistently left/anhyzer with little to no coming back right or straightis with fading left at the end.
I feel like I may be throwing them a little too high, and definitely not getting much umph behind the disc, looks like all my discs go the same speed virtually.
So without seeing me throw, are there any pointers or tips you can give me to look out for or try to work on more distance? I'm using a smooth and easy x step, standing still or one stepping I shank everything way right on a big nose up hook.
