So a little about me:
Age:25
Time Playing Disc Golf: 1 Year
Average driving distance: 325-375


I can get putters out to 270ft and then after that is hard for me to get too much more distance. I typically max out at 375ft with max distance drivers. Can push 400ft on a really good day.

I know that my 3 major issues are
Rounding
Weight Transfer
Snap

Curious to see what else people see and if anyone has any advice. I am really trying to not round but my body just wants to. Driving my elbow out is difficult for some reason.

Please rip apart my form and tell me what I need to do to reach higher distance and to be more consistent.

Four videos of backhand drives, all separate drives.

Videos can be set in .25 speed but just clicking the link puts it in normal speed.

Leaving your hips behind, swinging down over the top with the nose up.

Note how Paul is hitting it just behind his foot, his posture triangle is centered and the front hip is braced on the front leg to rotate/pivot around on, you are way over the top and stuck on your rear leg axis. The disc is almost perpendicular to your arm. Paul's stance is closed and his rear foot has everted forward with the heel ahead of the toes, your are open and your rear foot spins out so the heel is behind the toes.
