Yesterday I broke my first 300' after 5 years :/, three in one practice round of 12 discs. My normal shooting average was 240-260' and I don't think I ever got more than 265' on honest flat ground. I heard to use the elbow many times, from the Beto drill to countless other advice like feel like you starting a lawn mower (cord, not key lol) to "elbowing someone" but it never got through my skull what that really meant.
After I felt the blood rush to my hand in a throw, which happened haphazardly before, I realized I was always concentrating leading the throw with my hand instead of my elbow until the levers ought to open. My way was great for layups and touch shots but simply not for distance. I also just realized why proper drives probably aren't accurate as I never had that problem. I feel dumb.
It seems explanations on physical movements never click until they actually happen. Why do things have be like that?
