I don't know exactly why I've moved away from it... but it seems to promote a very nice lag/timing that shifts hard into the plant foot.
Apologize for this less than great footage - but I'm seeing results that are at least on par with a really well postured "standard x-step". I threw this teebird about 400' from a really ugly spot in lumpy grass.
I think the fact that you're hopping forward off the front foot keeps you looking forward and more likely to avoid opening too soon. It's like a built in function of hopping forward that you won't try to get the disc back too soon - and by the time you're weighting into the plant foot, you're at the top of the backswing.
I'm not poo-poohing a traditional x-step... but the truth is, that for me - I have to have a nice tee-pad to drive forward off my back foot or I will often NOT generate much power in my hips. With the hop, it's like you get the power from gravity so you don't have to push as much or any.
Just some ramblings.
