Keeping the Arm Flat

[TreeSplitter]

Anybody have any tips for keeping the arm flat when throwing? Im new to the game and I have a tendency to move my arm up when I throw.

When you do a reach back, keep your throwing arm high, nearly at shoulder level works well for most people. I think newer players generally throw with the throwing arm reachimg back too low and they will open up when they throw and the throwing arm will end up high and to the right, RHBH on release. As a reesult your disc quickly goes into a hyzer line, goes up high, stalls and dies. Watch the Dan Beto videos and he shows how to keep your arm up high and throw straight. Then it is lots of field practice at that point.

Thanks for the advice. I'll try that next time Im out on the course.

When I reach back and pull through, I try to keep the disc on the same plane, which is basically on a straight line right across my nipples.

that is the thing i have had to focus on the most, keeping my arm straight on the reachback, and its been working. I just started throwing predominantly rhbh again and thats what i had to focus on. and since im working on my rhbh i have lost some of my rhfh form. oh well itll all balance out in time.
