I finally had a breakthrough in my form, as terrible as it is, but I am crowdsourcing for information here because I am hoping more experienced people might know why.
This is 2 throws where I put my off arm against my side, and use it to keep the shoulder of the off arm closer to the level of the shoulder of the throwing arm. The first one standstill, the second one with a 3-step walk-up.
That said, you can see both shoulders are still not quite on the same plane. The throwing shoulder is still higher. But something about using my off arm (similar to Jakub Semerád) by my side, and specifically using it to elevate the shoulder of my off arm, has allowed me to dramatically reduce my nose angle from 4-8 typically, to 0-4, and without even trying, I even get negative nose angles like -1 through -4.
To be clear, I'm not adjusting my grip whatsoever. There's no cue, and quite frankly I was shocked to see the results from Tech Disc. I'm literally just trying to keep my throwing shoulder down, and off shoulder up, but both out to allow for more disc movement through the power pocket.
And regarding the wobble, it's still there, just a lot more often it's in the range of 4, with a lot less variance when I throw this way. It's not uncommon to have 8 or more wobble no matter what I do.
I have plans to test this on the course this weekend, and I plan to do more adjustments, such as more of a hyzer tilt, but this was from my first session trying this, and I am still trying to grapple with why.
Thank you in advance!
