My original thread is here, which garnered comments like this:
So I am going to try to document my progress in recreating my form in this thread, hopefully, but it might get too old, like the other one, and stop letting me post.
I don't get out much to practice or play, but I've been out practicing about 4 times since the video above, and I've played about 2-3 rounds at Golden Gate park.
Today I went out and practice and finally disc'ed down completely, throwing only putters (Magnets, Aviars, Ions, Anodes and Wizards.)
I focused on:
I was throwing up hill and with a tail wind that kept batting down my throws, but I got ~220-250 feet on average.
Things I think I'm still doing wrong include:
Here's a sample of my practice, I'd love to hear if I'm on the right track with this kind of practice or if I'm doing something bad that I haven't realized, yet.
Terrible footwork, balance, timing, weight transfer.

Today I went out and practice and finally disc'ed down completely, throwing only putters (Magnets, Aviars, Ions, Anodes and Wizards.)
I focused on:
- Late arm acceleration
- Weight transfer
- Extending my left shoulder back to open up my stance and get reach back
- Keeping my palm facing my body as long as possible during the throw, to have a "tomahawk" effect
I was throwing up hill and with a tail wind that kept batting down my throws, but I got ~220-250 feet on average.
Things I think I'm still doing wrong include:
- In an attempt to keep the disc flat, I may still be releasing anhyzer a bit
- My weight transfer is still not great
- Weird release angle sometimes at the apex of my throw (but not off angle torque, I experienced no flutter)
