I think it is going to take a while to make this change. Some progress.. but work in progress. Need to continue with Butt Wipe and Hershyzer.

It took me a few sessions and some drilling to fix that issue. It helped to put a plank on the ground to get better feedback when I was striding too diagonally. That golf hips video was insanely helpful to illustrate issue diagonal stride creates. Some other changes I have been working on: I...

I have probably been confusing what a standstill actually is. That's why I have not shifted forward. But I guess this is working towards one-steps and, eventually, x-step. Some progress:

Chucker60, as usual, my distances took a big hit when I started to work on my form. Now I can reach 260ft (80m) with relative ease with any disc in my bag. I have surpassed 330ft (100m) although not consistently and not with good form. Kennets, thanks for popping by! I also follow a bunch of...

I have been mostly focusing on keeping my shoulder more closed. To do this, I have drilled with hammers and done closed shoulder snap drills. Hammer time: Closed shoulder snap drill: Backhand form: I think drilling with hammer has caused my attention to move towards the the end of the...

Some progress on that. I started taking a runner's start stance before throwing and it made things a lot easier. Also, it feels a lot more natural to get my chin over the disc when I take a longer step, e.g. in Elephant Walk style. Here is the standstill version: During video review, I...

Managed to break 330ft (100m) today for the first time. Putters now go consistently to 230-260ft (70-80m) and drivers nearly to 300ft (90m). Comparison to the previous video: Some revelations this time: Feeling like walking really helps me to time the swing. After training with hammers, I...

Some progress and comparisons. After drilling with some hammers, my shoulders are staying closed a bit better now. I also notice that my elbow is now pointing slightly upward. Anterior pelvic tilt is trickier. I really need to focus on it during the throw, and it still feels hard to...

Thanks! That can also be seen in the standstill video. Shoulder is already opened when the disc is in front of my chest. @sidewinder22 Any tips/drills to work on keeping shoulders closed until whip completes?

First, the homework: Then, the regular stuff: Some notes mostly for myself: My throws are now consistently reaching 295ft (90m). Striding my front foot further seems to be helping with many things. This is actually something that sidewinder mentioned a way back in this thread - it just...

Added Double Dragon and Elephant Walk drills into my daily repertoire. I think I understand what Brychanus meant by "levitating". I'm not there yet but I certainly feel it when doing Double Dragon drills. Here are a couple of clips; one where I do Elephant Walk into a throw and one regular...

Winter is over and back to the grind. During winter I mostly did some drills (Door Frame, Hershyzer Wall Drill). Recently I have been mentally focused on my hip movement (due to the weight shift) and getting all my weight on the back leg when reaching back. I have tried to fix the APT by...

Really good insight, thank you! It is fascinating how a simple thing suddenly becomes so apparent when someone with more knowledge points it out. Do you think the anterior pelvic tilt is caused by the delayed push from the rear leg? So should I focus on fixing the weight shift issue or maybe...

Thanks for both of your comments! I focused on drills during the week. I can see some improvement, especially in the behind view. However, in the side view, I see that I still need to lower that rear hip. Now my hips seem to be quite leveled compared to last week's clips. Not sure what would...

The Swing Drill itself felt very natural for me quite quickly. However, in standstills, I struggle to get the same feeling of balancing on the rear leg. I think it has to do with how my knees are more bent in standstill throws while trying to keep an athletic posture. However, here is the...
