Not going to have time for video today but have the office again tomorrow so will try then, basically though this picture stolen from all things disc golf today shows the setup pretty perfectly:
The power pocket is being loaded, just a tiny bit more forward motion before the lower arm chop has to happen. the shoulders are closed at this stage and this is kind of where the shoulder "Pause" is happening. There is no pause though in reality it is just a subtle slow down in the shoulder rotation which goes fast, slightly less fast, fast.
Once the lower arm can't go forward any more without chopping it all starts to open up and out as ZJ described above.
This picture is about where the abrupt directional change of the Beto rail line would start from.
Note also in the picture that the disc (mini in this case) is about 6" lower than the elbow which allows you to get deeper into the pocket before exploding out.
Look at how the wrist is curling in as well at this stage, his thumb is pointing back at about 5 oclock at this stage if not even more. It's curled back as a result of the forward momentum pulling it back, it's not precurled.
