I've been stuck at 260' for so frustratingly long. I've been told that I hit most of the right spots in my throw, but I lack explosion. Please help!

Can't see your feet/weightshift in the video, but is all related to the the connection of working around the disc in kinetic sequence vs disconnect/pushing it. When you rush the backswing you lose the transition and kinetic wind up, so you have no equal and opposite happening because everything is already back mid stride and your shoulders get dragged forward instead of still swinging back going into the plant.Thanks. That's something I go off and on being good about. Old habits die hard. It can't be the only thing keeping me from 400'. Am I disconnecting somewhere wasting my weight shift, if it's even shifting at all?
One day I was playing with someone I didn't know and he quickly pointed out that I was dipping my rear shoulder. Didn't change anything else in my form but paid attention to my rear shoulder and made sure I was square and level when I pulled through.
Just like walking or running. If your trailing knee remains extended when you plant into the front heel, you can't shift balance/weight onto the leading foot, it will drag weight back when remaining extended. Your rear knee should be extended or extending to push off the foot with plantar flexion and then go into knee flexion to shift weight/pressure off the rear foot and allow it to swing forward. The rear knee extended on the x-step also allows your front leg to stride/swing forward unimpeded without having to pick the leg up and can hang relaxed from the hip.That back leg is a huge eye opener. When you say that the "rear knee flexes into the plant," does that mean the front toes should be on the ground and the knee flexing causes the heel to come down or that the rear knee flex is what causes the forward movement to the plant?
Did some work with a straighter back leg today. Still not as straight as it probably should be, but I hit 300' for the first time in a long time! I still feel like I'm not getting too much from my lower body, though, not feeling the uncoiling effect.
