Right, better balance on rear leg allows your whole body to turn back together more later into plant.This is a good starting point for me to keep working on this balance from, I still see issues but I think I'm getting the groundwork of this balance so I can hone it rather than completely change it.

Also I tried to feel how I shift and balance on my left foot when throwing RHFH, or throw a ball, or swing a bat righty. Then I tried to feel this balance in my RHBH backswing and then in the X-step. In the X-step it felt like I had to move my heel under me by bringing it to the left, so finally that line for the kick the ball just worked out. I know my right foot still turns in a bit, but I'm feeling on some throws how to let my butt/body turn at the end bring my heel closer to the target as I plant, so that my body turn causes the foot to rotate closed. I think that is the correct concept?
Looks like you are almost getting to the point where you need a faster FPS camera to really see the throw! Goes from powerpocket to the disc already being 2 feet out of your grip in one frame. Unless it's some sort of vimeo artifact.
It's crazy to me how you can go from this:I think the whole swing plane isn't flat was the first domino to fall in the last month or so of breakthroughs I've had, that enabled me to free up my body positions to flow through the throw better.
It's crazy to me how you can go from this:
To throwing a shot that is on a totally different trajectory than your forearm. But kind of goes to show you that as long as the hitpoint is on the correct trajectory then it doesn't matter how you get there
I think its just waiting a little longer and probably what SW22 is saying with the weight going more targetward instead of right to left. I know when I've had my best throws it feels like I'm not even trying to turn towards the target, I just focus almost on staying in one place and my head looking to the left of the teepad until the force of the swing opens everything up.Also I threw today and tried to work on that hips first thing like SW illustrated. I need to keep at it, it got my head more centered again with some better shoulder turn, but I need to keep working on it as it was only a slight improvement.
X-step behind is feeling more natural to not overstep the left foot, on slow putter shots I am unconsciously doing a little shuffle step instead of getting the left foot around. That tells me I'm just "feeling" better balance and doing things more naturally instead of what I'm "supposed" to do.
One question though, relating to that hand/disc rise thing:
I had one shot today that felt like a pro power level shot, I couldn't quite replicate it again. I threw a Core like 8-10' high on a pure sweeping hyzer, it got out there SUPER fast and hit the ground at 330 skipping big to 350. Basically it acted like a low hard Teebird throw with the line, speed, and skip it had. Normally this disc has -1/1 stability but this thing flew like a straight fairway driver.
It felt like my hand and the disc were farther to my left, away from my body during the swing. I know SW has said that GG gets huge power because he gets the disc separating away from his body. I am bunched up with the disc, which is why it rises up on me.
I just don't know how to aim for this feel of having the disc/hand farther away from my body as I transition from the top of the backswing, towards the launch position. Do I need my right shoulder farther to my left over my feet? Do I actually think about keeping the disc wide away? Or do I just need to wait longer to use the torso to swing, so I don't pull the disc forward too soon/much causing that upward pull?
I think the foot stills moves to the left, but you can't let the butt also move to the left, the butt has to keep moving targetward else you end up compensating somewhere to stay balanced. Maybe that makes sense, maybe I'm crazy.I think I'm mistaking a good loaded feeling for actually being restricted. I feel way more neutral moving to my left like in a FH shot or righty baseball swing.

This image really shows that many pro's have their striding foot so neutral or even open as the feet separate. I'll just practice striding and moving like this a bit to get it feeling natural instead of trying to be all coiled and loaded up as I step behind.
Overall from all my form tweaks I've learned if you think something might look off at all, then it's definitely off. And the cause to the problem is likely 2-3 steps before it in your sequence.
Now I'm wondering if this is why I continue to jam and/or spin out. Standing in my office it is a much different/freeing feeling planting more neutral than severally closed.
