The hole is a 550' par 4. The disc thrown was a max weight MVP Nitro in fresh condition. I was close enough to putt rather than approach or jump putt. I thought it was a good example of the acceleration that fuels a backhand distance throw.

You really get the disc in close to the chest and then have a wide outward swing on that thing.
Do you consciously think of either of those factors?

Yep, sometimes I even bump into my chest on accident. The closer you can get the disc to you chest while you're accelerating, the longer you lever will be when your elbow extends. More leverage = more force!
You just want us to see you throw far!
Joking aside, that is helpful.

I love your videos, but I wish you show more of your form than just the shot. This is coming from someone who's trying to learn proper form. Also, why does Axiom not make the proxy in proton? I lost my Watermelon Proxy and life hasn't been the same.

This might help you then, also from Mike:

Its a balancing act. Filming solo I have to zoom in to a level where you can still see me throw but the fairway is more discernable than with no zoom applied.
You're correct about trying to use those videos for form, its definitely not ideal. Maybe someday this month I'll film a dedicated form video where I setup multiple cameras filming my throwing motion and nothing else.

Please do!
As a beginner your videos have been of great help and as I'm taking the step to break the 300' barrier some multiple angle form videos would be of great interest.
