Looks a lot better. When go to throw you stride too far and kind of jump off rear foot instead of being pulled off rear foot and keeping the same rhythm.

i was thinking of kyle berkshire initial pre movement / battering ram. then from then on im thinking of transitioning into double dragon drill.
1. am i to resist the torque from my drive leg by rotating my shoulders counter clockwise?
2. the reason i am looking back is because im trying to keep my shoulders rotating counterclockwise while my drive leg makes my hips move clockwise in order to build up more lag (i dunno if this is best practice)
3. i made no effort to use my left leg in any way to drive any movement or build any momentum.
4. this movement is tiring. . im kicking more with my legs vs being a surgeon. still room to improve but believe we are moving the the right direction :hfive:
Also, try to focus on hamstring feel vs. quads during the weight/ ground pressure transition. To get a feel for the difference: Try walking backwards. This should activate your quads more. You don't want this to be the predominant leg feeling in the disc golf swing. It should be a more hamstring-centric feel like the walking forward motion.
Hope this helps. I'm working on this stuff, too.
I think you misunderstand the double dragon drill, it is not exaggerating the weightshift, it's actually the opposite and keeping your center very compact if you are doing it correctly. It's exaggerating the arms and legs moving/whipping away from the dynamically balanced center back and forth.What is this gif from?
Anyways LostDoughnut, There is a severe disconnect between the upper and lower body. You've got to remember you hips and shoulders are connected through the spine. I'd check out the inside wall drill. IDK if I really agree with crouching tiger hidden dragon as a practical way of learning to throw. It's a nice to exaggerating the weight shift, but there's so much going on that's not even close to a balance throw, it seems like it will just engrain bad habits. I'd focus on the hips and shoulders moving together and getting your upper arm more out away from your body.
Make a lefty backhand swing going into backswing. Your left arm is blocking your rotation in backswing which also helps shifting back forward. Note how it looks like I'm about to punt the disc.
I was checking out your vids and was curious about the way you hold the discs while bringing it into the body. Do you intentionally hold it so that the flight plate is facing your chest? Does this help solve some issues for you? I'm battling some nose up issues and am curious if this has any relationship there.
