48 here and I think I may have a solution to the back issue. I used to get very a very sore back after 18 holes. It was bad enough that I actually had a pro friend of mine who was 23 at the time help me. His suggestion was to watch out for reaching back too far around my body, creating an arc rather than a straight line. Make sure you are drawing a straight line to the aim point. Changing that one thing made the pain go away for me. It also made me more accurate.
Thanks guys, still have not figured it out. Stuck at 300' but of course will keep trying to get the hip rotation right. will post a new video soon. Thanks again!!
It looks like you are having some back or shoulder problems, if not, you are really tensing up to the extreme. Before your throw loosen up. Take a deep breath and slowly exhale. Get some bounce in your knees. Go all loosey goosey. You don't want to throw like your backhanding some guy in a bar fight. Remember smoother is farther.
Well, in my opinion, working the technique drills works best when done in a certain order.
Start with the hammer pound drills to learn to "feel the weight of the disc"
Then move on to the right pec drill to learn how to throw from the "power zone"
Then work on the closed shoulder drill to add more of your body's power into the right pec drill.
Then read this thread, particularly the third post, and watch the videos on correct weight shift and transfer.
After that this drill and this thread are worth looking into for fine tuning.
Note, you shouldn't be trying to do this all in a week. You should probably spend several days, maybe a couple weeks on adding in each of these steps, just to make sure you really get the ideas they convey.
