PMB vs Sexton

[HyzerUniBomber]

Saw a very interesting comparison of the two guys throwing from a very similar video angle.

Interesting difference in their posture and it's very easy to see the results in the follow through.

I adjusted the box angle because of the wide angle lens - which will change perspective a bit - but you can see that PMB stacks ball of foot, knee, head. Sexton is pulling through with his upper body farther right from our vantage point.

It's a bit difficult to tell from the still shot, but PMB's weight braces up more balanced behind the lead hip - which has his follow through balanced on the plant foot.

Sexton's weight being forward of the blue line means that his brace won't catch his momentum as effectively and he'll have to step through/around.

Just some food for thought.

PMB has a pretty decent but more of power than sexton tho. I do see ur point however

Chatting with Nate about this, he thinks it's his background in ultimate that has his posture forward and over the disc. Also why he thinks his FH is low to the ground (and away from a defender).

Can nate sexton make a forehand video?

 

[mgamache8]

^^^he should

Totally makes sense. Does he also have a natural hyzer release for most shots?

I think he's more comfortable throwing hyzer or flat backhands and relying on his hyzer forehand for right breaking shots.

I'll lob it out there and see if he bites.

I had a chance to watch Nate throw (really far) at a clinic in July. It looked to me like his shots were thrown with a slight hyzer release. He got a pretty wide variety of lines with his Destroyers just by letting the discs do the work.
