Weight transfer and hips.

Just another ahah! moment and want to hear from others. I know you're supposed to have your plant foot down before throwing and your weight transferred to the leading leg (RHBH), but I've been so focused on other things I didn't pay too much attention to how this timed up with rotating my hips. I started waiting to rotate hips until my weight felt completely on my leading leg with some good results but I fear I'm waiting too long and throwing my timing off.

I watched the SW22 vids of slowed down throws and it seems the pull through is happening before a full plant. I did notice that the foot is down and weight seems to be transfered at the same time the disc is passing through the plant/leading leg.

Maybe I should go back to can crushing routinely with a bottle of water until I don't even have to think about it? I'll feel I have it down but then I start thinking too much when the disc gets in my hand.

60% or more weight for a standstill.

You have to transfer into the plant. Like if you want to slide across a hardwood floor in socks. If you step down with your weight you won't move, you have to step into the plant and trust the brace to hold you. It's a slight difference in feel that makes a ton of change to power.

I kinda forgot about that. It's been hard to get the feel, but I suspect my stance width may have something to do with it.
