Hi all....
So I've been playing around 3 or 4 months now and I've gotten to the point where I think I know what I'm doing wrong but not what to so about it so I've got a few basic questions. I can throw from a stand still fairly accurate 125-150' throws. When I add in an x-step I get about the same distance which tells me my x-step is basically doing nothing, if not hurting my throws as they are much less accurate. I think the issue is with my timing so my few quick questions are the following. When doing an x-step at the point where you reach your maximum distance on the pull back, where exactly are your feet? I tend to twist my waist as I take the second step so I am fully pulled back at by the time my 3rd step is about to begin and I think this is causing me problems? I've looked at tons of videos but can't figure it out. Second I want to throw farther, unlike most of the internet who can easily throw a putter 600 feet while drinking a beer, I can not. I am hoping distance will come with time, but many many people tell me "oh yeah 300 feet is EASY". Yet I rarely see 300' throws. So at what is average sort of rate of progression? I'd just like to know if I am doing the right things and am just a slow learner (I don't really have a sports background but I love DG) or if I am not getting better because I am doing something wrong. FWIW I am throwing a Discraft Glide,Comet and Buzz as my main discs and occasionally an avenger SS.
thanks.....
