V4TmxEASjfk A few small improvements, I believe: * Looking targetward to start swing; not turning back too early (or as badly) * Left arm in better position than before (this is side-effect, I'm not doing it intentionally) * More on ball of left / back foot (actually a big change, hard to stay...

Ah, one more thing. I've noticed I very often have my right shoulder too high at power pocket time, compared to many other pros. I have suspicions this is either bad muscle memory, or perhaps also related to that reach back timing, where earl gets me slightly too weight back and (perhaps)...

Another thousand throws, give or take. Lots of stuff tried. After some focus on hip back, which I've framed as my biggest issue (based partially on sidewinders comments, I hope I understand them), I achieved some improvement in two ways. XnlF-Te8O9E * First throw: Visualizing pulling straight...

7hWB9QpxSdg Practiced leading with more of a butt drop, and keeping my shoulder / humerus from externally rotating at reach back. The latter still has work and feels a bit awkward. But going between Beto drills and reach back, I think its headed in a better direction. At this point, doing ~4...

3JoG3vFDlz0 qtqZnFlA4Cw Took me about all this time to really understand start to understand the very clear points you're making. I think I am an idiot when it comes to sports, lol. 1. Struggling to get hips back, a _little_ progress. In other videos, can clearly see how drifting my hips...

Same old frustration, regression (back < 300), hit a wall, take a break, pick it up, here we go again. Was actually getting worse and extremely frustrated by my collapsing arm. Then I said **** it, I give up. Just gonna strong arm it and find my way back to 300 and call it... but when I actively...

3 months, a (shorter) move, busy job later, back in a consistent routine. Regressed for a bit (arggghhhhhh) but back on track. Worked on replicating hips / plant in a stand still. 8/10 throws form stand still, I"ll mix in a few walk ups towards the end. Ipff_0F-X6E 1. I think what I see is...

Same caveat, take me with a grain of salt Re the "no bueno" part, I think I had and fixed that. It was where I was conceptually pulling from -- my upper back. Eventually I thought of it like a progression -- people throw with their wrist, then their arm. Then their upper body. Then their back...

Ok, took a minute but I see what you mean w/ movement. When I plant my back leg, it turns me slightly. Once I really _really_ focused on direction back leg push off towards target, I could also feel my hip pulling my arm better. Yet the humerus prematurely rotating externally plagues me, there's...

Pardon the drive by thoughts from a fellow learner. I feel like your position here is fairly close to this elusive stance. If you were to turn your head back later per SW's suggestion I bet you'd look even closer. When I was exploring this stance, I found my head and reach back turning...

Added a more pronounced "nod to the gods" and fuller reach back, while trying to get left arm in proper position. Wanted to see if this affected finishing balance and back leg forward motion per your suggestion a couple back. 6LZCjpK_LB4 I think a little more progress. Observations: - Maybe...

Moved to Portland. Brought the net in the car rather than packing because what's more important when moving a family than form practice. :| I spent time trying to find and hit your suggested forward movement. I think I understand but it pushed me into something else. After some stand still work...

Interesting. As to the forward motion off the back foot I see what you mean, although I'm doing about as slow a hip throw as I can which may play a factor? But for the back foot slipping to the side -- I definitely noticed Schusterick doing that in a lot of throws. I'm not trying to mimic him...

Np0PyOA-8I4 Worked on arm angle, humerus rotation, left arm, etc, but was really struggling. Frustrated, took a break. 10+ sessions, mixed results. After practice, thought / re-reading here, I decided the CoG issue was likely limiting my ability to fix my low / dragging elbow too much to focus...

I had not seen the reply before I took these (~1 hour afterwards, yesterday); I think studying and trying the figure 8 pattern will definitely help. Adding this session regardless because I had one additional insight / question. Straightened reach back, helps a _little_ zIK2XKYiylU Realized...

Three throws. 7Ep3eqZ7_sk Focal point was humerus rotation in reachback (note disc angle) and turning back later. I _think_ the second two throws are beter, even though the brace is worse (not planted when swing begins). Observations - Later turn back (is helping with balance) - Wing down...

I also struggle with all of this. I have a few observations that may or may not be correct, and may or may not be helpful. First, humerus rotation seem's to play a huge role for me. Even if I try to keep it wide rail, I will naturally collapse the pocket and it seems more to do with being...

(No up-to-date video or request for feedback, just progress notes) So I took your advice and the lower body was progressing. But as December closed out I became increasingly frustrated: I could not keep my shoulder from collapsing and dragging. I tried a bunch of stuff, most of it hilariously...

This is session 19. Was going to do a few more sessions before posting, but had some key observations already that I want to log, esp. relating to shoulder (after watching and practicing your EPIC battering ram video, lol). Three segments here: 1. Demo of re-imagining broomstick in my hand...

One more thing... Picked up on one more thing -- my CoG being too far back (right, when looking from side). We talked about my CoG being off in both directions (left, when looking down teepad. Right, when looking from side). Neither is fixed yet but just another observation. I noticed in the...
