    Update So I’ve been really trying to push the momentum forward but it still looks like I’m starting my throw too early. Distance is definitely improving at least, but I am doing some things wrong. I need to work on my off arm movement since it’s too high on the backswing. Other than that, it...

    You are really a great coach. I realized I wasn’t following the principals of the hershyzer when throwing. I’m trying to get the feeling of leading with the butt but it’s so hard to replicate in my throw. When I don’t actually throw I disc I can feel the pressure of my hips on the front leg when...

    Sorry for bugging you again. I tried to really focus on moving the momentum forward and lagging the throw behind. It seems like I’m somewhat doing that, but something just still looks so off and I have no idea how to fix it. My distance remained about 240-250 for putter throws which is where...

    So I get the feeling of throwing off of the one leg when I do the one leg drill, and I also get the feeling of the hershyzer when I lead with the butt. I guess my question is how do I naturally get into the right position with the x step? Is it a matter of a timing issue, or should I delay my...

    Back at it again Hi all - so I’ve started turning my shoulders back which helped me get a bit more distance. I’m still not breaking 400. I guess I am wondering is my plant better, or am I still having the issues with the knee leaking ? I am 100% sure I am rounding though...

    Sorry I can’t edit my last post for an odd reason. I’m going to work on two things and report back. 1. Squat deep into the backswing with the butt facing the target. This will replicate a motion similar to the butt wipe and hopefully get my knee in more. 2. Rotate the torso and keep the arm...

    I did read it all! I need to get out to the field and test the elephant walk drill. I might throw in the windmill drill as well. Based on the one video, it seems like not planting enough causes the knee to buckle the way it does? I guess that reinforces the throw is built from the ground up...

    Can you elaborate on the part where you say,” It's not that you are pulling too fast, well I guess it depends on how you look at it, but you aren't getting your body wound up with arm connected/taut to tow or pull or sling or catapult your arm/disc like Olympic Hammer throw or ball on...

    Thank you! I need to 100% rotate my shoulders back more. I’ll work on that part and getting the nose over the toes. If I were throwing anhyzer I’d assume the nose over toes doesn’t apply. This is for my basic knowledge. In these videos I’m trying to throw flat and hard. Last question - does it...

    Standstill slow-mos Hi again! Here are some slow motion standstills I took today. I keep thinking something will click, but I’ve been stuck at the same distance for months. I’m very disappointed. https://youtube.com/shorts/Q67G7zg2ffM?feature=share...

    Thank you so much! I noticed when I actively jam my back knee into my front leg, my arm whips must faster. I guess that’s forcing a better weight shift forward and getting my hips to “lead” the throw. I have no idea why it’s so much more effective, but feels a lot more powerful. I’m going to...

    Back with more progress or regression Howdy! It’s been a few months, but I have some more videos. I have no idea If I’m getting closer because the growth seems so stagnant and small. I can see I’m leaning back on my throws, so that is one obvious thing I’ll correct. I also feel like I’m not...

    I did watch it but the part of upright posture didn’t click with me. Now it makes so much sense. In order to get the most leverage to pull the door frame, you shouldn’t be squatting initially. You should be more upright with minor knee bending. Once you squat with your butt back into the brace...

    I was waiting for your reply :). Can you elaborate on the main issues with the starting position. I am trying to stay postured similar to a dead lift throw. I was under the assumption that is an athletic stance. For the arm tuck, I’m going to try to implement the eagle approach and keep it on...

    Still having issues Hi! I am back after a week of implementing your changes. I am now able to get my midranges out to about 280 ish feet. My original title was wrong and I was probably throwing 240 with midranges before we started. I am very happy with the 40 feet. Here is a video of my...
