    How firm should my power grip be?

    Have you seen this video? Feldberg talks about using your thumb at about 10:50 m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=3sxw8ix0CYs&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D3sxw8ix0CYs&gl=US Looks like I can only link to the mobile version. Disc golf monthly episode 94.

    My Throwing Motion (iacas)

    JR is right, I have this bad habit of going off on tangents. Everything I was pointing out can be summed up easily, if you check out the diagram on this page (you will have to scroll down a bit): http://www.discgolfreview.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=16139&start=165 You never reach figure 4...

    My Throwing Motion (iacas)

    I'll point out a couple quick things that are all related. You already mentioned your plant step is too long, your stance is just way too wide. Part of this is because your knees aren't bent enough. Bending your knees more will almost force you to take a shorter plant, and let you get your...

    Figuring out my backhand

    I guess I should amend my original post to say "compensating with anhyzer or OAT", which is clearly what you are doing if you are getting a boss or an ape to fly on a line that resembles anything close to straight at 300 feet. Wobble can be caused by OAT, but just because your disc doesn't...

    Aiming!?

    Glad you got it figured out! I remember reading about not turning your head to watch your shot a while back, but I don't remember the specifics. What do you do with your head now, and what do you focus on with your eyes, now that you have fixed the problem?

    Warm ups and strengthening

    I was just talking about this with a friend of mine. At our local league the only guy who ever really does a lot of stretching and warming up (on the occasions when he actually has time to attend) also happens to be the #1 rated player in Wisconsin. As I near my mid 30'a I find stretching my...

    improved your game

    Taking a video of my throw and seeing all the things I was doing wrong. I highly suggest this to anyone who wants to improve.

    Aiming!?

    If you are able to take video, I would take one while you're doing well and then take another when you're not and compare the two.

    Taco Ace?

    If you want to get really technical, OP said he was playing by himself and the rule says 2 witnesses so it counts :D In a tourney, a wedge in does not count if it was witnessed to be so. My thought on this rule is that on a blind hole, there's just no way to know if it was a wedge OUT -...

    Figuring out my backhand

    The discs you listed are meant to be thrown much further than you are throwing them. As a result they fade out really hard, forcing you to throw with anhyzer to compensate. I'm guessing you got those discs because of the high speed rating, which happens often when people buy discs because the...

    Right Pec Drill

    Good job dude. If you haven't read that myth of disc pivot thread yet you really should. There's some posts in there that are really informative, they talk about the late hip rotation near the end as well, which is key for successful right pec drills To me, a good right pec drill goes something...

    A few vids for critique

    Your weight is still too centered throughout your throw, It isn't far enough back at reachback, or far enough forward at the end of your throw. As JR said, getting your weight forward has nothing to do with leaning. You want to be balanced above your left foot at reachback, and right foot...

    Right Pec Drill

    To add to what JR was saying, the hips don't powerfully pull the shoulder/arm until the arm is mostly open. This is one of my favorite posts on this website, notice that the hips are basically doing nothing in frames 2 and 3, and in frame 4 (notice where the arm is)they are really just getting...

    Right Pec Drill

    About the weight forward thing, you need to drive it forward with the rear leg. Attempting to get it forward too soon will make it impossible to push your hips open with your rear leg late enough in the throw.

    Right Pec Drill

    1) You are correct 2) Impossible to tell from the camera angle 3) Yes. More importantly stop spinning while your arm is still bent. Have you done the hammer drills? Your shoulder should be relatively still until about the time the wrist wants to open (the timing of this is hard to describe...
