After doing some more net-work, I decided to go out to the course and film most of the tee shots. Link: https://youtu.be/_k0WU-zq7dc
- First two clips were from a 400 ft hole that needs a big left to right shot that never comes out of the turn. The first shot was with a an MVP wave that I hyzer-flipped to turn, and I think it was probably one my highest velocity throws. It felt really smooth, and the fact that it reached 400 on turn made me think it had a lot of distance left on it. The second clip was the same shot just with an MVP insanity for a more flat to turn.
- Second two clips were a 380 ft downhill shot that requires a skinny gap to be hit either to left or right of a tree. Both were fairway driver hyzer flips.
- Fourth clip was a flat to turn.
- Fifth was a one-step throw into the net.
Overall, this was the most amount of progress I have ever made throwing. I could feel the fluid motion of throwing my body weight towards the target line, and planting it against the brace. While I was throwing better than I ever have, I can see there are still things that can be tweaked and tuned for more efficient throwing. Some of the biggest things I noticed were
- Falling back on rear leg after disc is released. I'm not sure if this is because I'm not keeping my center of gravity over the front leg more, or if I'm engaging my back which is throwing me back onto the leg, or if it's just because I'm throwing a new swing and still not balanced on it well enough yet.
- I'm trying to keep my arm/shoulder better closed like if I was swinging a baseball bat, or a hammer, but I noticed that my elbow ends up on the bottom after the disc is released, and that my palm ends facing towards the sky while top throwers palm remains facing down throughout the entire swing.
- I feel like I overall look a little stiff and clunky when throwing, specifically the upper body. It looks like I'm not creating enough space for myself to swing so I end up getting a little jammed.
Overall, incredibly happy with the progress, so thanks to all for the input thus far.
