Seconded. I've been working on this. Lot lately. It's something that needs to be learned, practiced, mastered.Anybody calling that regression is not worth listening to!

What is this Swedish style you speak of Brother Dave? I've always thought Feldberg had a cool style.

Been a while since I found a thing to improve and successfully nail it down.
Anybody else?
My breakthrough some might call a regression but I've gone to stand and deliver for almost every shot. I've gained distance and accuracy by just concentrating on the correct weight shift, keeping the disc on a straight line, and smooth late acceleration.
My plan was to eventually add the x step back once I got the timing right on the standstill. But I realized I could generate enough distance to be competitive on most of the courses that I play without having to do a run up. There are so many advantages...one being wet or slippery tee pads don't matter much to me any more.
I suppose I could get 25 more feet of distance with a clean run up but most of the time it's not worth adding all the variables that a run up causes.
I watch so many people with funky run ups not putting themselves anywhere near proper throwing position. I really think the average golfer would be better off skipping all of this and just concentrate on throwing the disc cleanly.
If you keep your elbow out wide, you can't round. Overexaggerate the motion, don't even straighten it on the reachback. Feel like your elbow is stupid, stupid out in front of you.I have felt like i've been on the verge of some huge break through for the last few years since I first got on youtube and searched how to throw a disc golf disc.
I think in all this time the only actual breakthrough that made a significant jump right away was the advice to throw as if you are puling on the cord of a lawnmower mounted vertically on a wall. That took me from 150' noob hyzers to 300' pretty quickly and from there it has been a constant breakdown, rebuild, regression in performance, climb back up to a little better, a little more accurate a little more distance.
I don't film myself nearly enough. Every time I do there is a bunch of glaring issues I didn't think i was doing... which leads me to think when I fix those i'm in for a big break through but still just a slow process.
What I guess could be big break throughs in the process:
Stopping rear-foot eversion and super early reach back.
stop rounding
Envisioning the disc on a straight line/wide reachback
stop rounding
Getting balanced on the brace foot... fully deweighting the rear foot
Stop rounding
ACTUALLY putting into practice slow is smooth smooth is far and to accomplish the list above not just think I am doing any of those things.
I stopped using a putter to putt with. Using ESP Comets instead. Huge improvement.
