It's not about the angle/s, as much as, it's about the movement pattern.

I hear people say to keep your hand on the outside of the disc. Ezra seems to keep his wrist pretty straight and looks to be more forward toward the target than 'outside' of the disc.
Does doing one over the other result in different things?
Seems to me like the outside of the disc method would result in more spin but less potential speed and the straight springlike wrist would result in more speed and maybe less potential spin?
Just speculating and not sure if this has already been discussed or if it matters much but I'm curious.
I think you're at the right conclusion but I would say his hand is pretty outside. Not curled but not like a new player pulling the front of the disc towards the target from the top of the backswing. If you focus on where his thumb and pointer finger are they stay opposite his body until the pivot happens. HUB talks about the importance of the pivot via the power pocket discussion if you wanted to hear someone much smarter than me talk about it :
