Hey guys, Been out in the field basically non-stop since last posting. Haven't really gained much in the way of distance, but I do think I've had a bit of a breakthrough on the footwork. The balance and positioning still needs work, but I think I'm finally getting off the back leg. The power...

Thanks Sidewinder, The Anterior Pelvic Tilt has plagued me my entire adult life. I'll see what I can do to counter the muscle imbalance. Off-arm I'm more confident about addressing. Will definitely tighten that up and keep closed to my body. Thanks very much for reviewing!

Hey guys, Taken quite a few videos over the past month, but I didn't really feel like I made enough progress to post. Over the past week or so, I feel like I've had some breakthroughs though. Still a lot of improvements needed, but I think my footwork is finally heading in the right direction...

Hey Brychanus, Always appreciate your insight! Yeah, didn't love the look of my legs in that standstill... very awkward. Think I've maybe been exaggerating the plant leg turn back. Definitely more of an outward turn to my feet in a neutral stance. Will focus on keeping it more that way...

Hey again, Been trying to fix my footwork, and I think it's improved. Might have too wide of a stance still. When I have no disc in my hand my leg kicks back behind me, but as soon as I try to throw, it more stays where it is. Think I'm not rising with the back and standing up into the finish...

Thanks Sidewinder! Think I must still be thinking about loading with it wrong. I feel like maybe it's a symptom of trying to actually catch my weight and balance on the leg while pushing into the plant. Since your post, I've been playing around just trying to balance, gliding over it while...

Been hard at work, and I think I'm making progress. I think my footwork is better and the disc is definitely feeling different as it moves through the pocket and as I release. A power pocket is actually starting to form for the first time, even if it's ugly. Haven't gained much distance though...

I haven't watched it 100 times yet, but I'm at least in the teens haha. That was one of the videos I had in mind. I think I'm getting the motion pattern down a little better, but will get out in the field again soon to see if it makes a difference. Gif was working now, Brychanus, thanks!

Very Interesting! Thanks very much for clarification. I'll meditate and do some practice with this concept to see if I can't figure out how to incorporate it. The way you refer to the image makes it seem like it should be moving like a gif, but it's a standstill image for me. If it was...

Hey Brychanus, That's interesting, I feel like in many of the videos posted for baseball and golf they mention a corkscrewing feeling. Do we differ from those sports in that way because they are standing still and we're moving into our plant?

Thanks as always for the feedback, Sidewinder! Totally makes sense. I've been struggling to get my butt pointed at the target, and I'm thinking maybe the way I'm corkscrewing into the back leg isn't quite right. It feels like I'm almost jamming that back hip, hitting a wall where I can't turn...

Told myself I was going to slow down my efforts on this in 2024, but so far I've been unable to stay away haha. I think my footwork has improved. I'm feeling a lot more energy flow through my upper body. Unfortunately, this hasn't translated into additional distance yet. My throws were erratic...

Sage advice, as always, Sidewinder. Just got done rewatching all the videos (amazing how many time it takes for some things to sink in lol) and playing around with that in my house. Will see how it impacts the swing with the disc in my hand, but without a disc it feels more effortless.

Hey Again, Practiced quite a bit over the past few months. Didn't really see enough progress to warrant posting my videos though. Hoping these latest clips show some progress. Form is still ugly, and I maybe lost a little distance, but the feeling I'm playing with right now feels like I might...

Understood, and this same feeling applies to the disc in the backswing? Letting it go rather than manipulating?
