Maybe it's because with a tilted axis my rotation is more linear/vertical than horizontal.Once we get this worked out, let's tackle the whole Palestine / Israel kerfuffle.

I'd be hard to argue one way over the other - but for a new player, getting on the feet up approach early will set you on the fast track. Just based on the number of people posting w/ plateau issues that are hamstrung with their feet, hips, bracing - I'd lean that way.

I think my arm-shoulder timing is the challenge right now. Getting the arm extended and the hand to the hit at the exact time the shoulders hit 12 and then the shoulders continuing and that contributing the pull to the right on the hammer. Getting that timing sequence is tricky right now and what I suspect the key element to it all. That timing is what I suspect leads to being able to fully feel the weight of the disc shifting around the pivot. Hmmm. I'll keep that in mind for the weekend's practice.
These threads make me wish so badly that I had some sort of net to throw into indoors or in the yard. Just throw tons of drives for feel to get it right, not caring about flight/distance...until it feels right. Plus not having to walk the (hopefully!) 450'+ to go pick them up. One day.
Try to slow things down more, if you try something ~10 times and don't see a result, keep making changes. Don't throw 500 times the same way and expect something new to happen.Some really good discussion. I'm feeling more and more that I need to go into the pocket slower, and really make the effort to do the Beto rail type of move instead of the hammer pound (because the "real" throw is probably some combination of both things). I'm feeling some good things from some practice motions that I've been inspired by from reading this thread, and watching some McBeth footage. Seeing how to keep the hand/arm on the outside of the disc for long enough before pulling it around, really extending outwards from the pocket.
It IS useful because you can throw a putter or mid and be in significantly more control where other people are throwing drivers as hard as they can.I got a chance to play a round with a guy who has 450'+ on command, and it was interesting getting out drove by 50 to 80' constantly. It made me confirm that my "normal" is half hitting still, and I need to keep trying to get it to that next level. Yeah I know it's not "useful" on lots of holes...but wow is it amazing to see a disc go 475'.

Dam the rowvids haven't started where I paused them playing from the start instead, anyone know how to do this?
