I have begun working from the hit back for the last week. So far I am impressed with the distance I am able to get on some throws from standstill and some one step throws but most of the time my throws either turn and crash out to the right or pop up and stall out around 200-230. My questions are:
1) When I throw from a standstill (disc at right pec, feet together, uncoil down the arm keeping the disc tight to the body) I sometimes am able to get a disc pretty far, around 250-270 (estimated distance) but a lot of the time I just don't feel the same power generation and get considerably less distance. I concentrate on getting my weight over the disc, a good pull tight to the body and I try to kick my back foot up and clear my hip (though I don't think I get it all the time) and it still just doesn't seem to generate any power at all. What could I be doing wrong? I know its hard to diagnose without video but give me some more things to think about please!!
2) I struggle with nose down. I try to maintain a nose down wrist position and I try to position the top of my wrist slightly past horizontal (which I believe is the correct position to throw hyzer?). any advice here would be appreciated.
oh, I throw RHBH.
