for me i get a lot more distance out of FH shots. i still can drive BH and i putt and midrange BH normally. i just cant get more than 200 or so on my BH drives.
"On a similar note, I am still having issues finding my distance throwing LHFH without f-ing my elbow/shoulder. When I try to throw for the chains, I think I revert back to my old FH throw. Any advice on how to lengthen my LHFH shot without killing my arm? "
In my own experience there are usually a few main culprits that lead to elbow/shoulder pain:
Lack of follow-through. Ending the throw in an abrupt manner places a lot of stress on the elbow joint. The arm should be allowed to continue to rotate across the body as far as it needs to.
Not getting enough trunk rotation. "Arm throws"(strong arming) results from throwing flat-footed without utilizing good hip and shoulder rotation. A good FH drive involves the entire body just like a BH throw. The arm should be initially propelled by the rotation of the hips and shoulders and should finish with a good wrist snap. Sort of like the wave of energy that builds up in a whip.
Simply going for too much. I can't throw 450' let alone 400'. However, my subconscious likes to try and make me think that if I just put a lot of stank on my throw, it will have a chance. This always leads to a complete break down in form resulting in a shanked throw, sore body parts and a foul mood.
