Need forehand help

[lgentz]

I cant for the life of me figure it out, i either spike it to the left and it turns into a roller, sometimes a good one but i dont want that or i get lucky and i get a huge anhyzer line and looked over video and sometimes i dont keep my elbow close and also i got this like swooping motion goin so i throw upwards and follow through down which causes rollers or crazy anhyzers if some one could shed some light on this much appreciated

This vid will be helpful to get you started. Practice just spinning the disc A LOT so you can work on the release. Also, for future reference, post your form analysis videos in the Form Analisys section to get more help:

And then once you get the release

1. It looks like you are letting go of the disc. Your hand/fingers are wide open after the disc leaves your hand. You should be clenching your fingers into your palm to accelerate the disc pivot/pound the hammer and the disc should rip out of your grip.

2. You aren't turning your butt/hips/shoulders back enough and pulling the arm taut.

Start with the grip. Make sure you have the pads of your fingers on the inside of the rim, not the underside of the flight plate.

Looks to me like you're standing up too straight. Bend the knees and bend over at the waist a bit. That will help get your hips engaged a bit more too, but I wouldn't worry about that as much until you stop turning things over.

Make sure you follow through only after the disc comes out of your hand, and follow through in a slightly upward direction. Try not to pronate much during follow-through until you really get a sense for how it's supposed to feel when the disc comes out of your hand.

You might need to adjust your release angle to account for the stability (or lack thereof) of the disc. That orange disc looks really understable (is it a River?) so you need to release it on quite a bit of hyzer and let it flip up. The others seemed to handle the flat release with the touch of wrist turn much better.

I think it's better to learn with a neutral to slightly stable disc thrown on just a bit of hyzer. Keep the elbow below the shoulder and the wrist below the elbow and focus on coming through smooth with a loose arm. Don't try to muscle it or you'll burn everything over.

I like SW's tip about holding onto the disc as well. It's an underrated tip for getting nose down flights. It sometimes feel like my index and middle finger are actually trying to prevent the disc from leaving my grip. I think that helps pull the nose down during release.

In the first video - it looks like you're really wobbling on release. I think the points others have made regarding grip are the most important right now, more so than anything with your general motion though that also needs work once you get the grip figured out. I think, based on the third video where its most clear (though its still a little hard to see) that you might be forcing the nose down as a result of your grip as well.

This video I made a long long time ago has probably been the one thing I've made that the most people have said was helpful for their game, and I think it could be helpful for your forehand grip, if not more:


The grip I recommend/show in that video will minimize rolling the wrist over and forcing the nose of the disc down.
