Hi all,
This is my first video for critique.
It's a 310 foot drive with a Champion Valkyrie (169 g):

I would appreciate any comments.
In an open field I typically throw drivers between 260 and 320 feet after being warmed up. Probably averaging 290 feet. In a round, I probably throw 30 feet less than that. (My furthest practice throw I've measured was 350 feet with a Champion Beast, but probably wind-aided.)
I've read a lot and watched a lot of videos, so I sort of know what correct form should be like, I just can't implement my knowledge. In this video I notice I am drifting to the right in my run up. I also notice that when the disc passes my torso it's at least a full 12-18 inches away from my body instead of right up against it. When I try to keep the disc in close (as in the right pec drill) I tend to either lose a lot of power and distance or yank the disc way right. When I get a chance I'll post such a video. I don't feel like I'm getting my body into the throw very much (but don't know how to fix that) and I definitely never feel anything on my drives that could be described as snap. I don't feel that my arm is acting like a whip. I don't have consistent form. Sometimes I reach further back. Sometimes higher, sometimes lower. Doesn't seem to improve anything.
Thanks for reading,
Len
