So I was playing around on the field today. And I tried holding the disc the whole time at my chest and not even reaching back. My xstep looks better? Sorry that I dont have a video from behind. https://youtu.be/a4UkqS7-FTw

Comparing some of eagles throws he also seems to have his cog quite over his toes. My body is way more similar to his than pauls so is this really a big issue or an issue at all?

Ok. But how do I fix this? Its very hard to think about shifting my center of gravity around. Its not like its a body part :D. Also the comparison to paul suprises me because his body type seems quite different to mine(I am quite tall and skinny). Here is a throw from today. I am mainly...

I just did some field work today and took a video from behind: https://youtu.be/X208DVURxb0 Here is also another throw from the side view: https://youtu.be/BpaClQl0lrI Cheers

Thank you Sidewinder for the helpful analysis. Here is a hopefully an improved x-step: I cut the rest of the video since throw wasnt so good and I am still working on that part ;) https://youtu.be/dNcc2viYfw4 Here is also a screenshot, is my cog correct? Cheers

Thanks for the tips. I guess the hop was just adding more momentum into the throw, which also running up very fast would also do. Leading to a maybe further distance but worser form. So I decided to go towel swinging for about 2 hours today and just concentrate on a clean proper form. My focus...

I tried doing a hop in the xstep. It definitely added power and distance to my drive. It looks overall a bit better now? Should I maintain this kind of xstep hop? Here is a video of today with this hop: https://youtu.be/O7eTmpWSOjo Cheers

Thanks I will try to work on that. Another thing I noticed is that my upper body is still not staying centered. On reachback its tilting towards the disc. I think I am gonna try to do the opposite and tilt forward towards my brace foot when I reach back. Here in this 2017 european open nate...

So I have been trying the hershyzer drill and try to take it to the field. The throw still doesnt feel that good. Not sure what I am doing wrong. Maybe my timing is off? Pulling through to early maybe what for the heel of my front foot to hit the ground and then pull through the disc? Here is a...

Yes I have read about the head issue. But I just tried it only looking forward at the target(instead of down at my feet like before) when going into the xstep and as soon as my right foot hits the ground and my legs start crossing I dont worry about my head any more. This does seem to help to...

Thanks I also see in that picture that Eagles head is looking forward while mine isnt. I will try that too and see how it works out

So I have found that my plant foot goes way to far making my stance too wide and my hips immobile. By decreasing the distance between my feet I feel like I can finally utilize my hips properly. It does look though like my shoulder is still too high on the pull through. Also my reach back isnt...

Yeah I noticed is how my plant leg is pointed before the plant. The foot is hanging down pointing rather forward. While in eagle for example the toes are pointing back and the heel is pointing towards the target.

Thank you Brychanus. I think I have been trying to lead the throw with hips. And by that I was opening/rotating them opening them. But I see now especially in eagles drive that his hip isnt rotating open. Instead he is bracing against it. Its like his elbow is almost raming into his right hip...

I have been playing around with the reachback too. Making it quick and more like a fast whip. It seems like my center of Gravity stays more in the middle now. What do you think? https://youtu.be/I5e9ZS69Mtk
