He's made several blanket statements about this post alone, such as whether or not I'm throwing nose up, about which he is wrong. Even when I can demonstrate why he's wrong, I know he will never acknowledge that he was wrong or that he was a jerk about how he delivered his opinion. I know the type all too well. People should be able to disagree without resorting to personal insults. I'm disappointed in myself when I sink to that level, which I have on occasion.
You keep saying he's wrong, then lots of what you write make me suspect he's not. You won't provide any proof that he's wrong except saying it over and over. I've got a few ideas as to what you are doing incorrectly and why doing what you are doing is working for you - but without any proof - ie video - they are just ideas There are lots of wrong ways to get to the same dubious fix, I can't reiterate this enough - we have all done this, we have all found what we thought was the missing link on the quest for perfect form whilst practising on the field , mostly they just turned out to be little fixes for something else that wasn't done perfectly.
What Sidewinder has done again and again is to help people find the correct feeling and mechanics. He has done this through videos and text, and crucially he has shown what he is talking about by showing the similarities in top players form - not the differences in these players, of which there are many, but the key things that make up the good/perfect drive.
If you look at the lead card driving at EO 2013 you can see loads of differences in the form but you can see a number of core similarities that are almost identical, these are the things he focuses on. You just seem to be picking the wrong target to attack in SW.
There is loads of rubbish advice out there, there is loads of the same old stuff rolled out again and again and I totally agree it is maddening, I may well swing for the next person that tells me increased spin turns a disc over. However you are not hearing that stuff from SW, nor from HUB, although you probably will hear it out on the course from even the best players. Feel ain't real, but technical breakdown with evidence and the ability to then suggest drills to improve is.
The problem is those drills won't help everyone. What works for one doesn't work for another, that's why lots of other people try and put their own takes on the accepted and provable wisdom, and the fifth explanation or the 25th is the one that clicks for someone - but that fifth explanation is still based on the same core provable evidence based knowledge.
That knowledge says the easiest way to throw the perfect Hyzer anhyzer is to keep everything else the same and change body angle at the waist. This is by far the most repeatable, controlled and accurate way, this is the evidence backed accepted theory on these forums and hopefully everywhere else Disc Golf until such time you or someone else can prove otherwise, that proof is not saying "well it works for me"
