Thanks!

How do you know that it is a new course record? When I saw his scoring pace yesterday, about halfway through the course, I suspected he might be on pace for an exceptionally low score, and I tried to find some info online on what the course record was but came up with nothing. Is there a page...

It's seems almost like the non-throwing hand swings in and pumps down so as to emphasize loading of the plant foot. McBeth seems to pivot more on the ball of his foot than his heel- something I've observed in other slow motion vids of his backhand drives.

Well said - I agree.

Wondering if these might be a helpful training tool: ySQmKsDWbMc

Just trying some footwork on the backhand, leaning forward with the torso as Will talks about, I noticed one thing which became very apparent: by tilting the torso forward about 10˚, keeping the head aligned to the torso, there was a much heavier weight transfer to my plant foot. Like night and...

Now, thinking about what Will was saying, are not these two guys both pulling through (across) their core, leaning forward somewhat with their torso, chin down even?

Given that Will Schusterick is an ectomorph, it would be a bit ironic for him to truly be advocating a muscle power approach. He's one of the guys of whom I've always thought, "if a due that slim can throw over 600', then there must be some sort of technique I'm missing out on" Whereas if I...

Oh, I guess that is the same way I'm am trying to throw too. Wide as in 'reach out wide' , keep a closed stance. Seems to work well, but a bitch to learn. One of the harder bits I think is doing the x step to arrive at the closed stance. The closed stance is sorta at odds with the direction of...

By 'wide rail', do you mean like David Feldberg?

That's why I used the term 'hypothetical'

Appreciate your detailed input rhatton! It seems like the point of the thumb push is to try and squeeze every last amount of grip out until the last possible moment, the hypothetical 6:00 position

The page by Blake T linked above wasn't clear about which direction you push your thumb -- I'm guessing that it is in the direction of wrist extension, i.e., sideways? The term 'push' though implies forward, like flicking a bottle cap, which doesn't seem too applicable to the BH throw. Am I...

A couple of points come to my mind in favor of having understable discs. One point relates to spin, alluded to in the post above. Let's say you throw RHBH and RHFH, and want the disc to turn to the right for a good portion of the throw at hand. On backhand, you could throw a strongly...
