Hi all,

I have been "playing" disc golf for years, however it has been more of an activity in which I just throw some frisbees with friends lol. I am now focusing more on disc choice and technique to try and focus on actually improving my game. I think my general technique is there but I cannot get the desired distance I want out of my drives and seem to struggle with getting the speed they need to activate proper flights. Right now my drives max out at about 270-300 ft. I know I have the power to get it further, but I'm sure I am falling short somewhere in my technique. See slow-mo vids below. Any feedback on shortcomings or errors would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

You turn back too early and start opening up before you plant.
