Interesting post by Tristan Tanner on his Instagram, where the camera catches the disc 1 frame from leaving his hand. It's most of the way out at this frame, and barely touched by his thumb and forefinger.
Would you guys say this is at the 10 o'clock position? For the sake of this post I'm going to posit - perhaps erroneously - he's throwing at 10:30 but it's for the sake of discussion. The reason I'm asking is because of the nose down conversation, and cues like "pouring the coffee" and "turn the key" that are often recommended.
Here's my suppositions. Feel free to correct me where I'm wrong.
I think if the release point is at 12 o'clock, that "pouring the coffee" cue would theoretically matter more than the 10:30 position. And yes, I know we don't want to release at noon, but bear with me as I try to explain.
I think if the release point is at 9 o'clock, that "turning the key" cue would be more valid than at the 10:30 position. Perhaps at 10:30 both cues are worth considering, likely in tandem.
Here is the IG post if you want to view it to see it in motion. Thank you in advance!
