Hello everyone, I've recently gotten more serious about disc golf and have been trying to develop a functional sidearm. I was a fairly decent baseball player in my earlier years and in my sidearm throw; I try to envision myself on the mound; exploding with my back leg, landing on left heel, getting chest to target and following through low. Its not working out so well. After recording my throws and seeing the truth behind the theory; I've encounter some major problems. Standing sideways at address is leading my arm across my body, constraining any momentum or power built and not allowing me a proper finish (also feels like an easy way to get injured). The concept of holding a disc and throwing a baseball just feels incredibly awkward and unnatural - As demonstrated in these videos:
- not a bad result but only went about 200, feels strange
- trying to come more direct/ forward at target and generate more power by reaching back but terrible results
- Backhand form for reference.
Best regards to anyone who see's this post, any information is appreciated.
