Open to feedback here. I feel like I finally have some clarity on how to explain what I want people to take from my one leg drills.
@TrebuchetDiscGolf
I appreciate your clarity, style, and pace of presentation. I agreed with a lot of the instructive points.
I tend to focus on the demonstrated mechanics regardless of who says or shows it, and I appreciate you being here.
1. I have seen your own balanced tilt improve across videos. I think before you tended to have more tipping back or away, whereas you have more control now.
2. Your own move has a more rotational component overall than for instance a seabas dingle arm drill or Simon. Your move and balance are functioning somewhere between
his and mine here.* That is related to how you carry/extend your leg when you load back to plant, and where your head is relative to your rear leg counterbalance when you show your extreme hyzer posture. I could show it a few ways, but for instance at 7:44 you tend to move your center over a narrower range than e.g., the sidewinder drill set and conceptualization relative to your feet (i.e., the tilted North-South tilted balance plane is slightly truncated). One result of that is that your motion has more of a rising shoulder and lower arm a bit at odds with the postural unit rather than allowing the leading shoulder to more freely dangle/dingle/swing/pull over the leading hip leg and knee (like Simon). Also related and very common: you have the humeral abduction component, but not the shoulder abduction component and phase Simon has that a dingle arm exaggerates. Thus your own arm move gives the appearance of more hinging and folding and unfolding like a series of gated hinges rather than a smooth anatomical whip coiling and uncoiling.
3. I do think that it is possible you and sidewinder have at least somewhat different ideas about how balance from head to toe works. I think your head and fundamental balance is held
slightly more between your feet, or at least does not move completely in a Figure 8 pattern from heel to outstep to instep/toe. It's kind of close so you make it work getting foot to foot, but a ground pressure reading would probably reveal differences.
Again, none of this is personal or from a position of special affinity to any one set of ideas, just observations about mechanics. Once again, I appreciate that you are here and am open to discussions, differences in opinions or emphasis, the notion that there is more than one way to throw a disc, and evidence.
*And just in solidarity, while my own balance has improved, it still has shades of the issues he summarized there and I am working on them.
