Can you guys describe in a little more detail what you mean by the elbow chop please? Is that the part where the elbow should be moving forward towards the target before the arm swings open? If so does this mean that if you are doing the elbow chop correctly that you would in fact be...

I think this is something I experienced too last year when I was trying to work on discing down and using the right pec drill. Those both helped me a lot, as well as some good advice here. But honestly I felt like the best feel I had for late acceleration and kinda good snap was once when I...

No Ball golfers wouldn't play a whole round with a putter, or a putter, wedge and 9 iron for that matter. They might however (and should) go to the practice tee and work on just the wedge and 9 iron say or the putting green and work on the putter. Ball golfers would benefit too from "discing"...

I have been trying to get the disc pretty high up in my hand on my power grip (RHBH). So for me it seems like I all of my fingers are quite a bit curled up under the disc. On videos of better players it seems to me like that they have more of the thumb pad and hand on top of the disc than I...

I did purchase another dx Aviar P&A disc 175g at my local store, it is pretty much the only aviar they have except for a star one. I almost went for another dx roc too and was looking at a shark as well but eventually figured I would be best served by the second aviar. I changed my practice in...

Yes my aviar is the putt and approach version. I think that is what happens to me sometimes in my field practice. I start throwing the valk and dragon and oat it the more into the practice session I get and then the aviar all of a sudden starts going right. That is one reason I wanted to try...

Certainly not past 320' yet, but that old cheetah which was my first disc is still probably consistently the longest disc I have. It goes just as far as the dragon and valkrie if I were to be honest with myself. It has seen a lot of trees and so is getting a little roughed up and easily turns...

Thank you both, I wondered about the differences in weights, something that I am starting to notice a little bit now that my form is a little more consistent. I think I might try another aviar simply for the fact that I must be throwing them a little different. Meaning that when I start out...

I have been trying to take the advice I have seen advocated here and learn to throw my putter (167g aviar dx) and midrange (dx roc, 170g?) as drivers. When I practice however in the field I throw all five of my discs, those 2 plus a dx cheetah 165g(?), dx valk 175g and dx dragon. Would it be...

Garublador, could you give us more details please? "you aren't getting your weight forward " - it seems to me like he was getting his chest over his front foot, was his weight getting forward after the fact? Could you also explain a little more what you mean by his upper body and lower body...

One thing I try and think of when I am starting to plant the plant foot, when my back is still turned to the target, is to keep my shoulders turned right where they are and then move my back or lean towards the target THEN turn as hard as I can. Another mental thought I have tried is to...

Fun but helpful to me, so what style would you say Dan Beato is? Is the whip style you mention also the bent elbow style I read about (and think I am working on in my own game) with the right pec drill and hammer drill?

That's a good idea cfair, it can get confusing (what about lead or trail leg, I like lunge/plant too just a thought).

When I look at the slow motion of the Avery guy, to me it looks like he has his shoulders totally turned away from the target, his back facing the target and then he does this subtle movement that I think I see in good ball golf swing too, he moves his back laterally towards the target shifting...

Jtencer, do you feel like you start to rotate your shoulders before most or all of your weight has transferred to your planted right foot or do you try and get the weight over on the right foot and then rotate?
