Throw slightly upward nose down to the apex and let the disc glide out. If you throw downward nose up you are creating a lot of lift and drag to the apex and won't get any nose down glide out from apex.If my spine is tilted back won't I just launch the disc into the sky nose up?
It is only tilted back during the reachback. Use your left foot to push your spine vertical and balanced over your right hip as your right heel is coming down.
I don't push the spine vertical or change tilt, although it may appear that way. I simply turn everything from the pelvis maintaining the same forward athletic tilt. Forward tilt in backswing appears / as chest is facing away, while forward tilt in late forward swing appears \ with chest facing more forward, and inbetween it appears vertical like l looked at from side view, but if looked at from behind tee you would see the forward tilt chest toward knees.Quite possibly if your spine is tilted back when you are actually throwing, yes.
But not during the reachback. There is normally a backwards tilt to the spine during reachback, aligning it with the front leg/foot as SW has said. Then the spine becomes more upright as you plant/begin the throw.
During your one leg drills this will most likely be less exaggerated than you'd see in a full throw.
