A little background on myself, I play DG as a hobby maybe once or twice a weekend and mostly only in the summer. With that being said I have been playing for about two years and am in real need of a form critique. I have watched numerous videos online about the proper way to drive and have tried to make changes, but after much practice this year I am still lucky to hit 225', average only about 150'.
I can tell some very obvious flaws even after watching myself in these videos, but I need the help of those far more advanced to really improve. Maybe even some suggestions about discs to try. I have a couple of really beat in DX TeeBirds which I throw pretty frequently as my main drivers along side my DX Eagle. I won't touch anything faster than a speed 9, simply because I know that my form and arm speed really do not compliment high speed drivers and they would prove more detrimental than helpful.
I can honestly say this is one of the most uncomfortable things I have ever done, I hate being recorded, but lets get to it: In both vids I don't know if it matter or not, but I am throwing a slightly beat Innova DX Eagle (171g) which is my straightest flying and farthest throwing disc for me.
Throw 1 is on a 245' hole and somehow it happened to land 10' from the basket, must have had a slight headwind...

Throw 2 is a 365' hole, it managed to do what I believe is a "anhyzer flex" and made it to just over about 175' with this throw.

Please DGCR, help me throw better.
Also sorry if I don't reply immediately I work odd hours and don't get a chance to get online let alone DG very regularly.
