What is the mechanical reason for the reach back?
I watched the video of HUB talking about how he pulls the disc very slowly to his chest and then speeds everything up at the hit. I tried going very slow from the reach back to my chest and gained like 30 feet on my drive instantly.
So it made me think, what is the purpose of reaching back if it is not adding any power and hypothetically holding many players back from longer distance?
What is wrong with just starting the X-step with your arm bent and the disc at your chest?
