It's been a while and I've made some changes, some are helping some are issues still.
This first video is BH. I have recently changed my grip (disc more in palm, deep flight plate grip rather than index/thumb pinch) and am fighting with nose issues depending on the day. I have focused on not dragging my left arm/side behind me during my throw. I thought I was getting it in/forward for the weight transfer, but apparently not. I am bringing my left arm forward but it is still away from my body, then seems to get out ahead of my axis during/after the throw.
The first 2 throws in this video are ~70% power with a mid and then fairway, the type of power I would use for ~300' on a mid and 330-350' for a fairway. The 3rd throw from the back view was ~400' with a mellow Destroyer.
I was having nose angle issues like I said today, but I felt good disc speed. My mids were going well. Drivers had good ejection speed, but I could see them stalling/braking at the end of flight and it was killing lots of distance. When I did get a Destroyer nose down enough to hold a turn the whole flight (hyzer flip to turn) and then fade forward at the end I got ~425', but nothing about the form/velocity felt different.
Possible issues:
-back arm too far away from body
-upper body leaking forward a bit...maybe get plant foot out farther?
-is hip/shoulder separation before transfer/shift ok?
-I started getting the disc closer to my chest after filming these shots and it felt better, I didn't include any of those though

FH form:
I have been maxing out my FH line drives with speed 10+ discs on flat/hyzer flip shots from 310-330' for a while. I am happy with my accuracy, consistency, and the relatively low impact of these shots. But I would like to add some distance finally.
This video I show 3 different power levels to see if stuff goes wacky at some point. First is a mellow putter flick, what I would use for up to 100-150' approach. Second is a Teebird at 60-70%. Third is a drive that is as hard as I want to throw a forehand, which will get me up to 330' on a rope.
I can see that I am staying on my rear instep rather than going up onto the toes, is this costing power/transfer? As well, is my spine tilting too much forward at the finish (shoulders drift too far forward)? Any obvious ways to get more velocity without killing my arm?

Sorry if the video player isn't quite as convenient.
