like I said when I made my first post I should have taken a day to relax first before writing the post
as it stands I am by no means knocking the drills...just about any gains I have made over the last couple of years have been due to this site and I am thankful for that
my frustration comes from the fact that I do believe that I am athletic and coordinated and that I should have the ability to learn and improve and I don't want to be stuck at 300-330
I WANT to be able to throw 400 on a flat line
I should be able to achieve that
I realize that this does not happen over night
I also realize that it will take some work and I need to get into the field and practice more
I will endeavor to do that
I'll ask some questions to see if I can get myself on a better track
on this picture is the hammer pound in frame 3 or 4?
is frame 3 the "right pec drill" so to speak?
I think/feel like I am trying to do it somewhere between 2 and 3 and that does not feel like it has any power
also the "pull" or when I am to pull on the disc (which I assume should close my wrist on the BH) should the disc already be in front of me and my shoulders already opening
should my grip on the disc be very loose all the way through frames 1 through 3 and only bear down after my shoulders have opened towards the target?
I also need to clarify some things on upper body positioning
I mentioned that I had OAT
I am pretty sure of this on the basis that I think my upper body is in the wrong position such that when I follow through my right shoulder drops below my left resulting in a tug down
my follow through arm seems to carry a downward arc (my hand ends below shoulder height ...should it be above?)
is this weight forward issue something where I need to be bending my upper body "over" so that I am almost leaning forward?
when I do the drills I think I can feel the weight of the disc moving
I am pretty sure though that I can't feel any nudge
it might help to get some video up
I will see if I can convince my wife to take a few vids for me
