Hello All!
I am still searching for the elusive 350' average. I am going out to the field soon to work on the brace. I understand the concept, but there are two big things for me in disc golf that are different compared to a baseball swing or a hockey slapshot.
1) I have to do everything backwards compared the baseball swing. My lead foot is my right not my left. This will take practice, but geez...
2) More importantly, with baseball and hockey I can rely on a counterweight to help the "brace." Even with sidewinders door frame drill there is a counter weight. Put in practice the disc doesn't support enough of a counterweight to really allow me to brace like in the past. Please correct me if I am thinking about this all the wrong way, but I find that I can really throw my hips forward and brace if I have a heavy counterweight.
