I started playing in November of 2018. I'm obsessed and play pretty much every day. Typically I throw ~325'. Recently focusing on keeping my off arm tucked is adding 25 feet or so to that. Mostly throwing an MVP Wave in these clips.
The most frustrating thing is that i feel that people with worse form than me in my play group sometimes throw farther.
I frequent Reddit, and when I post a form check, the primary critique ppl point out is that I'm not bracing correctly. I've watched so many YouTube videos (seabas22, heavydisc, Danny, Simon and TONS of others) and read a bunch of posts on form, but something is still not clicking where I've hit a wall (I've been throwing this distance for like 6 months). One-leg type drills seem to be the most common suggestion, which do help, but then when I add the x-step I'm back to the same result; sort of falling forward after I release the disc. When I try to focus on really stopping on my plant foot, I usually end up with a sore knee, so I'm doing something incorrect in that regard.
What's the MAIN THING I need to work on and get down really well before focusing on something else?
Brace/weight shift right?
So right now I'm thinking I should just take my FD and an Envy for my next few rounds, drop the x-step, and focus on "crush the can". Do you think this is a good starting point?
Any suggestions greatly appreciated!!!
Side note: the first throw in the vid looks the best form-wise to me, is that accurate?
