F=MA and K (e)=1/2m*(v*v) so force equals mass times acceleration and kinetic energy equals half of mass times velocity squared in terms of physics.
In a throw you need acceleration to gain velocity. To be able to gain acceleration you need to be able to produce quick movements that need...
You can be surprised by how much quicker and faster you can push with the left leg when you set your mind to it. The command from the brain needs to be quick not strong. Bending the knees will absolutely help just look at Will Shusterick for a strong brace and position from where to push and...
It was pretty much the same shot with improved elbow and disc position when the elbow starts to straighten. Probably from bracing but even longer bracing by a fraction of a second would help. Unfortunately the main robber of distance remains the disc goes nose up too high and stalls. It really...
Your form looks like a pretty standard way of new players throwing who have not received advice. I would say that it is an faq what you need to change because that seems to be the way people throw naturally. I promise you you will gain distance after changing some basics.
Check where the disc...
Second hand info on my part about the Mantis so it can be false. Usually Discraft is successful in their numbers so i would trust it. Unless it is the exception that confirms the rule.
Z is super durable and stays firm forever minus a day. The grip stays slick especially in cold weather.
Bags...
You can throw any disc fh and bh so a disc that fades kess than the Destroyer backhand does the same forehand. Only the flipoing is different and fh flips more usually. For disc flight generalisations there are different flight charts. Googling reveals several. They are less accurate than the...
Throwing higher and farther gives more ace chances but generally that leads to worse scores. Spike hyzers and skip shots tend to have a chance and not go that far beyond the basket. Still it is dicey even if you are a great putter. Which is why i would think hard why you go for an ace. There are...
Prodiscus Estonian Open 2015 final part 1 with Silver Lätt the reigning Estonian champion and at least in the top 3 forehanders in the world, Antti "rocket" Koivula from Finland as well as another Finn "rocket with boosters and never coming down under 500'" Jyri Salminen and the often present in...
In physics more power for the same mass means more speed. I am not medically trained or sports scientist so i have not come across anything that says that smaller muscles would be faster than larger. Throwers like javelin throwers tend to have lean biceps and maximum tendon strength. Finnish...
That is not windy at all by sea side standards so think Chicago for me. Still the Stag may not be good for you once your distance improves in those peak winds. The same goes for other Valkyries than Star. The Stalker can handle those winds for a long time in the future probably assuming more...
When you said plains i thought of Ohio and Texas kinds of winds. How often and how hard does the wind blow in Nebraska? The Stag has no chance in Ohio/Texas open course winds but if the wooded course is protected from the wind or the winds are not that extreme the Stag at your current power...
Then i would go to a store and fondle the Rival and the Stalker and see how the grip is plastic and shape wise with them vs the Viking. If you are happy with the Viking, you may not want to switch anything with it so getting a complementary disc may be all you need. If you even need another fw...
Lots of people use two fws of different stabilities. I like the Rival for a single fw mold scenario because it is straighter than the others except Leo in the end of the flight but takes winds with the best of them except that the Star Eagle X that is beefier. Note that Eagle Ls flip in winds...
