Hi all,
Been a lurker for about a year or so now. Trying to learn enough where I can actually contribute. Many of you have been my coaches and I comb through these form review sections gleaning what nuggets of wisdom I can. Thank you all for contributing your time and energy into helping people like me to get better. You're doing more for the sport than you know. I hope as the sport grows more popular, paid coaching opportunities make themselves more available. I think that'd be a sweet gig.
I've been pretty dedicated to trying to consistently hit 400 feet. I practice more than I probably should and get out to the field several times a week. I feel like I have the frame to throw far (6'3-6'4, semi-lanky) and I'm reasonably athletic (never been high level at any sport I've tried, but never tried as hard as this at anything either), but try as I might I've plateaued around 350-375 depending on the day.
Pretty frustrated at my lack of progress. I keep tweaking the form, and while some changes seem to make the throw feel stronger, I'm not seeing any additional distance.
I've been working on various drills posted by Sidewinder, Beato, Blake_T, SlowPlastic, Hyzer Unibomber, etc., but I can't seem to quite put it all together.
All that being said, I've come seeking help as I can't quite seem to target the most important things for me to fix. If you're willing I've posted a few slow motion videos below of my most recent field day. The latest problems I've noticed is not pulling into the power pocket correctly (and therefore not really accelerating out of it) and rotating too early before the weight transfer is complete.
Throw 1: https://youtu.be/Tyk4hI0s9qk
Throw 2: https://youtu.be/begMgHG9Ql4
Several throws in a row of about 9-10 speed drivers (Long, skip in between throws): https://youtu.be/VO4hpnvy2kk
If anyone could help with any tips on how to address those two issues (and anything else you see I'm messing up!) I would really appreciate it.
