I'm writing this post to say thanks to people who really helped me learn how to throw farther, particularly Sidewinder22, Hyzerunibomber, Blake from dgreview, and zj1002. It took me ...gulp... 4 years, but I finally did it. In yesterday's fieldwork I threw a 155g Opto Air Havoc 518 feet. I have been working on bracing, slow easy start I pull and hitting as late as possible. I am overjoyed that I achieved one of my life disc golf goals and will now really focus on improving my short game.
If you are throwing 300 feet, expect it to take time to smooth out your swing. It took me 2 years to get to 400feet. Another year to get to 465 and another year to break 500.
If you're not there yet, keep going, keep practicing. The best thing that has helped me throw farther is to learn how to throw putters cleanly. And then to throw putters 300 feet. And then to throw fairways 400 feet.
Also focus on throwing clean at 85%. This will help you speed up and get cleaner faster spin on the disc. Smooth easy loose reach back and don't really pull until disc is at right pec.
Just my 2 cents.
