It could be that shifting more diagonally/staggered creates a wider swing arc that is further away from the body, and therefore ejects the disc more targetward. Whereas a straighter stride toward the target makes you swing with less of an arc, and the disc's path is more of a straight line...

I'm just trying to describe doing this drill and shifting from behind. The bottom of the tailbone moves back and forth linearly, and the hips swivel/rock/orbit about the tailbone. You could also view it as the rear hip moving toward the target linearly I guess, but I have found it helpful to...

For this drill the hammer is used to exaggerate the feeling of your center of gravity instead of the feeling of the weight of the disc. Feel the weight of your CoG + the weight of the hammer as you fall into the plant and shift your weight. Maybe do a few of these to feel the CoG and then delay...

Right pec/center chest=hand stays on outside of disc longer/later, disc might be slightly closer to center of gravity at this position compared to left pec. Do this drill with a hand weight and feel where the weight feels the lightest/weightless - https://youtu.be/e-eYtrkSz14?t=21. It doesn't...

Wow, that means a lot! Thank you for all your helpful posts. The Ezra pic and the car analogy combined with the twirl/burst of centrifugal force/ball on a string really helped me get to a very different feeling swing than before. It feels like the fundamental piece that I was flirting around the...

LHBH Fun fact: I throw overhand (baseball, football, basketball) righty, but do tennis, disc golf, and write lefty. I also swing a golf club/baseball ball righty. Started playing regularly March 2020 & became interested in backhand mechanics shortly after. I’ve been keeping a lot of notes on...

looks like you can get them on the adidas website for 56$ with the 30% off code. so maybe not that crazy but still a good deal.

uhhhh so it looks like Terrex AX3s in size 10-11 are on sale for 50$ on Amazon. big price drop, at least from what they retail for on amazon. Just thought I should let the good people on here know!

Yes this idea has helped me to correct pulling through early on my throws, which I'm sure happens to every new player. The idea of using your arm in the throw leads to pulling through early, without any lag/built up energy from lower body or core. So timing will be off, shoulder opens up early...

Appreciate the input on the new run of c-line fds, hope anyone who picks one up will continue to share. I lost a teebird that went dead straight for me, and I wanna replace it with something with a little bit of turn. Currently deciding between c-line FD or a Z Stalker. I've heard both be...

Recently my form has not been feeling 100% and i've realized that I was planting directly onto my heel, instead of toe to heel. When I am throwing my best, it is toe first, then planting the weight on the heel and unwinding as you describe. it's a great way to nail the timing of the throw, start...
