Hello friends,
I've been playing 'seriously' for about a year. I've lurked here for a while and consumed an embarrassing amount of content. I play pretty consistently with people who seem to have strong athletic intuition, which I definitely don't. (Ex, just throw like 'this' and it's fixed).
I worked a couple of lessons with a pro, and while he was great and definitely knew what was working for him, I felt like everything was trying to model after how he threw. For example: I was throwing with a pump before and he said that was just screwing me up and I *have to* work around the disc to make it simpler.
My average shot in my last field session was 238 feet, it was slightly uphill. Realistically I would be ecstatic to hit 300 feet. The way people on here and reddit talk about form, that should be doable and I'm either really strong arming it or I'm doing something fundamentally wrong. Maybe both?
1) So, I'm at this point where I have a hybrid of what felt natural to me and what the pro was trying to convey to me. I'd really like a recommendation on what to really focus on as I've been all over the place with different things to adjust.
2) I'm 5'9 and 160 lbs. Any recommendations for a pro's form to pay attention to?
3) It was super hot today, otherwise I'd go grab a slow motion. Will do in an updated post.
