Help w/feel of brace, among other things

[n1ceroll]

I've been stuck at the same distance for a really long time. Recently made a change to the way I brace/step into my plant foot and it was beneficial, but it's still got issues. I feel like I don't get enough zip on the disc. Any help is appreciated!

You are planting with frontside turned wide open, instead of shifting everything more turned back closed/from behind into the plant.

I see that too but I'm not really sure how to fix it. I've seen the videos and read about it, but when I throw it doesn't feel like I'm planting open, if that makes sense. My problem before was that I was turning too much and was basically backwards. I struggle with a disconnect between what I think I'm doing and what I'm actually doing...

I appreciate the response!

Stop x-stepping. Learn to move in different directions and/or "standstill"(figure 8).

Haha, I am not very good and I'm not so sure I should be trusting what I felt! Great advice. Thanks for the resources, I appreciate it.

Been doing the elephant walk drill while holding an old mallet, has helped a bunch with feeling the weight shift, and I haven't put any holes in my walls yet! I've been working my tendency to plant wide open, but it still looks pretty bad in this video. Anything arm-wise I should be working on? It still looks off to me a bit. I know when I shank something right it's probably due to my plant angle, but I had a day a couple weeks ago where everything left my hand on a slight hyzer. With my old form I threw shorter but normally hit my intended line.

I've added about 30 feet to my drives since posting this, btw. I appreciate the help!

1. Stop moving the camera. Take from straight behind tee/trajectory and 90 degrees to tee frontside.

2. Stop x-stepping. Practice throwing with a little stride like a pitcher or batter, but landing more backwards.

3. Stop hugging yourself. Your upper arm is collapsed against your chest, so you are hugging yourself instead of hugging the disc into your chest. Doing #2 should help with this.

Go to standstill and focus on accelerating through release.

Imo, your acceleration is linear and you want exponential. Until you correct the last part, the walkup won't amount to distance.

Your wrist is straight to inverted. That is the last part in the "whip" or sequence your arm should unfurl from your chest through your shoulder-elbow-wrist to release, all gaining speed through torque/lever.

Thanks. Not sure what you mean by linear vs exponential?
