sidearm disc?

[eric40817]

Due to a bone spur in my rotator cuff I limit my flicks to when necessary. This, and just having a tight shoulder has jeopardized my form some. Currently, the MVP Resistor is one of the few discs that I can actually get a decent flight out of FH. Its the sidearm motion from playing shortstop and third for so many years that effects my shoulder quicker... OH though, has been a key throw in my DG game.

There are several ways to immediately improve your form;

#1 video yourself and watch it, you'll see flaws
#2 watch videos of pros, and compare that to your video form
#3 upload your video here for others to critique
#4 get out in the field and THROW discs, focusing on accuracy FIRST, then distance
#5 understand that OS discs are NOT the answer for sidearm throws, Scott Stokely threw a disc made back in 1998 well over 500 feet, not these ridiculous 13 speed Apes (which I personally hate)
#6 there is an unofficial record of over 550 feet with a 40 mold midnight flyer. So yeah, form means everything
#7 Jeremy Koling repeatedly throws more "understable" discs. So again, stop thinking that sidearms are only good with OS discs.
#8 If you can't sidearm a leopard, accurately, then you can't sidearm very well (just my OWN opinion, which stinks).
#9 BEWARE of internet distance claims. Throwing a putter, sidearm, on a rope, 300 feet, repeatedly, means you should be rated well over 1000.
#10 If you want to get better, find out the weakest spots in your sidearm game, and strengthen them with learning to throw that problem area backhand, don't limit yourself.
