You are starting the disc high in the reach back (at time of initiating the swing) then dipping the disc then bringing it up resulting in a nose up angle. Probably explains why you are skying your discs in the air.
The disc starts at about shoulder height then dips almost to your belt before...
This was going to be my first comment after reading the first page of this thread. 500ft with no accuracy doesn't mean much. How accurate are you? Perhaps throw at 70-80% (if you aren't already) and see if your accuracy improves. Do you perform much worse in tournaments compared to a casual...
Yeah the first gif you didn't have as much follow through as the 2nd and 3rd. Still maybe 15-30 degrees less than some of the pros. It probably doesn't matter as long as you follow through as far as your body allows based on your flexibility. You would have already released the disc anyway so...
Some of it is flexibility related. Your arm may not be as flexible as some of the pros. Sidewinder doesn't exactly have Simon or Eagles lanky physique ( neither do I). The times I have tried to really focus on big follow through I could feel my body telling me, ummm maybe 20 years ago!
I think when I switched to 'walking around the disc' in the reach back I lost my posterior oblique sling effect, which is probably why I initially have lost some distance. Probably need to continue the technique but make sure it feels like I'm really stretching. I think in some video the pros...
1. Headwind with RIGHT to LEFT crosswind
-disc will rise and become more understable, disc will be pushed to the left. This is why an overstable disc is often used to combat the wind's tendency to make it understable.
Anhyzer the wind will hit the top of the disc and push it down. Hyzer, the...
So last night I tried to REALLY grip hard. On some throws the disc won't come out or goes behind me (and just flops down). But that's likely because I'm focused too much on the grip and grip tight too early and slow my whole form down. It was kind of comical and hurt. LOL.
Totally missed your reply, thanks and sorry! So I think I feel that but I honestly feel as though it slips out as if my grip is not strong enough. I use a fan grip for putters and mids when I'm not doing max power throws. I have a power grip with fingers slightly angled for my drives.
I honestly feel this is my biggest problem. Almost like I relax my middle and ring fingers on most throws and the disc sort of slides out. It's as if I'm afraid to grip lock.
Not sure if this is related to the sound but for sure would limit my distance.
Would you say the feeling of the rip is like a griplock?
By saw off you mean the arm doesn't fully extend at pint of hit and Instead kind of collapses and noodles towards the target?
Should the snap feel like a grip lock but go straight? By feel I mean the feel in the fingers as it rips off the middle and ring finger?
I can consistently get the snap sound with my fingers but I know that doesn't equate to actual snap. Does that sound have any meaning? Does it mean I'm...
