I have been playing for about 4 years now and I have consistently lost D on my drives. I have tried changing a lot in the last couple of years but I haven't been able to figure out what the problem(s) is. I'm still waiting on that aha moment. I'm 6'4, weigh 190LBs and I have an 80 inch wing span so I feel terrible that I throw shorter than anyone I know (about 300-320 max as opposed to the 400 plus I threw my first year and a half of playing.)
When I throw, I feel like I am putting all of my momentum into throws but my discs don't have the snap that they should and they immediately start slowing down out of my hand. Please take a look at these videos my friend took today in the youtube links (sorry I'm terrible at embedding) and tell me what I need to fix. Don't hold back, be brutal.
There are also some pics attached of how I grip the disc.
