Hello all! First, apologies form the awkward camera angle- was desperate to get some footage on these forums and had to have a stranger shoot them for me.
Also, both these shots are with an overstable speed 11 discs, thrown flat and letting the disc carry me back to the right. Both holes are close to 325' in distance, and both shots ended 10' short and online. Point being, these aren't Max distance attempts or anything, just controlled flat shots I'm attempting. Neither had any nose angle issues and flew with roughly the intended line.
I've been working hard on three aspects of my form. One is a slow and steady run up. Second is keeping the spine vertical, and last has been a bit of feeling the arm fire through quicker with the shoulders still closed. The third is the newest addition and still not perfect by any means, but the first two I feel I have down pretty well.
I honestly don't know if I've ever properly braced into a shot though. I really struggle with walking through the drive. Is it possible that I've forced such a slow delibrate walkup (especially compared to before) that my front foot on the plant step isn't coming out far enough? It doesn't feel possible to brace with my current form as it is. Too upright maybe? My spine angle seems to stay vertical throughout, maybe I'm just never getting the weight over the back foot to load into the brace later, and am more forward weighted from the start to begin with? Any other top heavy huckers out there have issues with weight transfer or bracing?
