What's your backhand flaw?

[craftsman]

My games pretty solid up to 350 without a full reachback. When I try to go big my arm flails, my timing goes, weight shift problems, and can barely get the nose down
looks like two different people- one with a confident, well timed approach with good followthrough- and one with a silly hop run up and a bad back(I curl over when I go for a full extension)

Nose up followed closely by inconsistent/weak snap. I need to get some field practice in...

 

[CwAlbino]

Nose up. For normal drives it's not a problem, but messing around with anhyzers makes me get it nose up. I don't throw a lot of distance anhyzers because I can just throw forehand hyzers, but when i decide to play around in a casual round I find I have to make myself think about nose down angle.

I voted Snap. I feel like I have all the basics down, I get a good flight path and everything -- but I just wish I had more POWER!! I'm a skinny guy, I feel like I have decent form -- no OAT or nose angle issues, but my strength in general limits me. Do I need to start working out more? I believe the answer is absolutely YES.

I do my best to get my legs/hips/core into my throw, although I'm sure I have a couple noteworthy flaws. I can max at almost 400' backhand, but I throw forehand for distance -- I used to play baseball so the motion comes pretty natural.

So to answer the question: one of my foremost flaws is my stength. If I gained some stength in my arms, legs, and core, I feel like I could throw up to 50' farther backhand.

Snap, whatever that is. Seriously though, I have been working on this. I have tried to muscle my discs too much and the only way I get them to go far is pure power in my throw. I need that elusive snap or spin on the disc to get more distance.

 

[jdggna]

Would have been snap last year...I went with nose angle though. My drivers have been coming out nose up with and hyzer since resuming play this spring.

 

[kcplease]

I dopn't get pulling through. And thats funny because I mow lawns.

 

[Jukeshoe]

Why can't I select more than one option?

Seriously, though, I need some snap-action improvements, big time.

You forgot to include my big flaw on the list - airbounce! I do not pull across flat and smooth. People find it amazing that I get the D I do with my funky form. I think it is remnants of Ultimate form.

I also hold the disc with my off-hand during my reach-back which is a no-no.

 

[TxDiscGolfBoy]

none of those, but sometimes get huge yanks.

 

[sloppydisc]

Which one? Right now I seem to have many. I have regressed. Thinking of riding the bike for a few years and then coming back. I suck righ tnow. Maybe even the Preisthood in a Trappist Monestary. It couldn't hurt. Plus they have good beer.

snap and release angle/rolling the wrist

my bad habit is OAT w/ anny release angle. developed that trying to throw a wraith as a beginner. still haunting me. lately i've been just trying to do a smooth hyzer, usually with a leopard or teebird. even then, trying to do a hyzer, i still find myself rolling my wrist and turning the disc over. it's so hard to reprogram muscle memory.

 

[sloppydisc]

Fast discs are SATAN SPAWN!!!!

 

[Trashthrasher]

My backhand flaw is that I don't have it. I throw 90% Forehand shots & only backhand under 100ft.

 

[jongoff09]

Lately it has been my pull through. If I can start the disc on the right line, it is going to go where I want it most of the time, but in the last few weeks, my discs have been starting on the wrong line. I get plenty of distance (about 350), but I can be 50 feet or more off line. Its not just driving, but mids too. Sometimes I will get lucky and hit a line through the trees, but it won't be the line I intended.

 

[G-MIL]

I would have to say off-axis, about 1 out of every 10-15 power anhyzers I turn it over too soon.

 

[toothyfish]

Right now, my biggest issue seems to be pull through. I'll get my forearm coming around away from my chest, like a tennis backhand, rather than keeping tight and SNAP, all at once. Noticing this especially when going for bigger distance drives.

 

[Apothecary]

my biggest issue recently is my casting angle (l/r). whenever i tweak my long drive (which i have recently...i now line up more or less with my back to the target. i used to start with my shoulders in line with the target.), it takes quite a while for me to get the l/r angles dialed in.:\

 

[solomon.trenton]

lack of snap

 

[billnchristy]

I put down pull-through which my problem is part of that. The big deal is that I am still occassionally trying to put too much arm on it. My snap is good from the few Zephyr rounds but arm speed is a problem I am going to try to lick over the next couple weeks.

Tomorrow=field practice.
