This is a little embarrassing because I can't even do 300 feet which most people seem to be stuck at. I wish I knew a local who could teach me but I don't know anyone around my area. (Portland) I started playing seriously at the end of last summer.
In this video, I show three throws. On the third throw you can see where I am aiming at, the tiny dot is a blue soccer ball that is about 250ish feet out according to google maps. Apologies for the crappy video, my best camera is my phone.
I am throwing a beat 169g KC Pro Roc in all the throws. I am throwing flat and with some altitude to get me to my target. I understand this can introduce some nose up issues, I can throw my Roc on a level frozen rope but I only have enough power to get it to go maybe 200 feet without breaking through the 10 foot ceiling.
I can throw my putters, mids, and drivers all about the same max distance. If my line is 225 feet or less, I feel confident hitting it. Hyzer, Anhyzer, Straight, Tunnel shot. My accuracy is probably over 80% in that range. The only shot I have a hard time with at the moment is a tunnel shot with a dogleg to the right. I'm RHBH and I don't have a good flick shot or roller. I don't think I have a good understable disc for this either which makes it hard.
I've watched just about every technique video in the forums. I constantly work on the beato right pec drill, closed shoulder drill, and the hogan power drill. I also do several exercises to increase the rotation flexibility of my hips and lower back.
I would like to participate in tournaments this year, it will be my first time, so I thought maybe the rec division, but right now I think I would be destroyed. There are some holes where you have to shoot farther than 250 feet to avoid OB (it's over water). I don't have much time to improve before registration starts.
If you can help me in person, I'd be down to play some time. I live in the Vancouver, WA and Portland, OR area.
Any help or critique would be appreciated. Thanks!
