I don't think about clock positions, focus is on feeling the weight of the disc wanting to eject to the apex of the trajectory, kind of like tossing horseshoes. Adjust your stance to allow that full release to the target/apex.On a standstill throw like in the video, does my lead foot and release point still need to be aimed at that 10:00 or 11:00 position? I've gotten a lot better at timing the throws so the go straight ahead of where I'm lined up, but still get a few that grip lock 45 degrees to the right.
Some of the descriptions could use updating but this and SW's to down of KY from earlier show it in action - https://imgur.com/Alq70Di
I think a lot of people get confused on this.While I haven't gone to the field and fully tried it out, the diagonal swing (battering ram) that you talk about and demonstrate in the video feels more intuitive, powerful, and simple than the out-in-out swing. Instead of out-in-out, it is more of an in-in-out (kind of what the stand-still video looks like). It seems to help me focus on keeping my elbow out and focus on the 10 o'clock ejection.
My question is, is it wrong to throw this way?
I think it might cause issues with rounding. Other than that, I'm not sure.
As always, good stuff.

Out-in-out or wide-narrow-wide is all relative to your body/CoG, not necessarily the target or line although it could be. It is about the inertial confrontation between two masses.
You can reachback across the line as far as you want and not round, so long as your upper arm/humerus remains wide away from your chest and you turn your shoulders/chest back enough to not collapse the angle or hug yourself. This is why 360's and Olympic Hammer throws and some really flexible people are not rounding.
Seppo is more inside-out or narrow-wide. Although he tends to widen back out more when throwing longer.Would you think someone like Seppo Paju fits that description?
It's nice to see a question answered that I didn't know needed to be asked. It's funny how some of things don't click until later.
There is figure 8 motion pattern in One Leg Drill and Elephant Walk.So that's how you really do the OLD?
Perpetual Motion drills are so good, yet I rarely see players doing them. Most players try to do the opposite freezing and getting static and tight and rigid. Funny how Ben Hogan was teaching them way back and of course is a staple from Shawn Clement.More continuous movement and rhythm in the swing.
