    Backhand form critique request

    That is so interesting and this clocked for me very quickly. I knew I was doing something right and getting great results, but I was doing something in reverse. I tried to ‘unreverse’ my throw, and it is working pretty well so far. Will also share some more progress on this aspect after I put...

    Backhand form critique request

    This seems like a great idea. I have tried the windmill a long time ago that I almost forgot about it. However I am pretty sure at that time I was not ready for it. Now I think is a great time to revisit it. Will report back with some results. Thank you!

    Backhand form critique request

    It has been a while. I feel a good amount of change in my technique since the last time I did a form check here. Running into a specific issue, literally. As it is preventing me from doing run ups or bringing more momentum into my x step. As you can see in my 3-step, I am planting very early...

    Ball golf is harder. Tell me I'm wrong.

    I don’t think it makes much sense to compare the difficulty of sports in which you compete against other humans. The difficulty is set by the skill of your opponent. We can say that the competition is more skilled in ball golf. The sport is older, more people play it, the coaches and training...

    Backhand form critique request

    Thanks, I think I see what you mean. The recent changes still require all my focus to maintain. But this will be something to work on and hopefully some of it will smoothen out by the time I’ve built some more muscle memory.

    More progress! https://youtu.be/04_MKlTqwbg It took me a while to lead more with the butt versus the upper body. The key was to load better in the backswing with my left hip. I think it shows in these vids. Still a bit of horse stance and inefficient off arm motion that I managed to tackle in...

    Backhand form critique request

    Thanks again for the useful input. I’ve feel that the off arm is mainly, but not entirely, a result of a good throw. However I can give it some help by consciously putting it in a ready to do swim move position. That is followed by a subconscious completion of the swim move if the rest of the...

    First form check!

    You had some questions about grip on your first page. But I thought it was now and I recently had figured it out for myself so I thought I could help with that. But oh well, after I posted that I saw it’s not something you’ve been working on recently

    First form check!

    Seems I opened your thread on the first page without realising it ��

    First form check!

    I recently figured out how to powergrip again. Didn’t do it for over a year and avoided any rim above the width of 11 speeds. I based it off of david wiggins jr video where he explains his grip. I used to focus a lot on aligning the disc angle with the forearm. But everything improved when I...

    Backhand form critique request

    Thanks again to the both of you. @Brychanus I think the elbow to hip may be interesting to try. With the off arm I'm always wondering whether movements with it either causing or are the symptom of good form. But the way you put it as in collecting the mass into the brace is compelling. Not...

    Backhand form critique request

    https://youtu.be/rsMP10URbOk It's been a while, and my form has changed a lot. I would be interested to hear your comments. I got a pocket radar and used it in the rear view. Speed is in KPH, so the throw was around 62 MPH. Distances are good for the speeds if I compare them to Simon's arm...

    Arm speed drills/exercises?

    Even at slower arm-speeds you should be able to get a faster disc to fly further than a slower disc. If your mid is flying further it's most likely a nose angle issue, even if it is not that easily visible as you say. Check Simon Lizotte's video on arm-speed: https://youtu.be/Fwj7B3jGwUU These...

    Stable up?

    Indeed you can go up a notch in stability to get similar lateral movement in your flight. You also have the option to go up in speed or down in glide. These two will respectively counteract the higher drag and lower lift forces you get at lower elevation. In simpler terms at lower elevation...
