Pretty much, you can also think of your rear side moving/striding rightward/targetward, and the front side mirroring that/closed/ready to catch your balance from behind or move back to the left.

Thanks man!

Im still throwing into the ground. Its pretty frustrating. Help!

Ive gotten good at weight shifting from behind though. No falling over. Seems like when i throw harder it helps with accuracy instead of throwing over the top and power kills accuracy.

When your doing the move is that only for stand still shots? When x stepping i wasnt sure if the left foot is heel targetward already like the hershyser or starts 90 degrees from the target and hips kick the heel targetward in backswing like the move?

The rear heel everts/pivots in the forward-swing, not the backswing. I think of the feet the same way standstill or x-step, the rear foot everts/pivots(due to maintaining torque that direction) when the weight/pressure leaves. The only difference between the backswing of a standstill/x-step is that the disc moves in a standstill/you stay still(the body does move back/forth as well, but only a couple inches), while in the x-step you move forward around the disc and the disc stays relatively still.

The rear foot should be past perpendicular/90 in both standstill/x-step, somewhere around 120-150(can depend on speed/individual) is probably ideal(this gives you optimal clearing/space to turn your front side back and still torque everything forward from the ground). In the very first part of the move vid, Mike is just talking about having the rear foot forward as a drill, and then he flares the foot back and maintains that same feeling.

Haha yea. I'll get a better one this week.

Have to fire the camera lady.

I like what I can barely see!

I took awhile off from playing, I am rusty. I think my balance is a little off. Scooping my arm, not as bad as I used to but still.

Anyways, need advice on what to focus on. Thanks for looking.

Looks like you stride too leftward, instead of straighter and turned back more. Turn your butt slightly more targetward into x-step to allow the legs to glide forward easy and out of the way of each other.

Does this look any different? Got cold and windy when I was finally able to get home and throw into the trampoline.

I think I understand the kick the can video. I practiced last night. Not sure if it's made it into the throw?

Feels different. Sometimes feels ain't real though. I'll keep drilling.

Thanks ss22

Hard to tell. You are tipping your upper body over into the plant instead of the upper body lagging behind the lower body shifting forward underneath, tilted back. Your front leg strides outward, instead of inside-out cocking the hips.

Your front leg kind of collapses and sinks as your body goes over it. Note how firm and straight KJUSA plants his front leg, it bounces back of the ground like a spring and triggers the swing.
