I am familiar with the poor student who thinks they know better issue. Iacas was one of them i do not know if he has learned later. He tried to apply golf anatomy to disc golf and when i said that no you do not have the posture thus head weight supported by neck and upper torso muscles in other throws than hyzers because of the little things called vertebrae he concluded that i do not know anything. And went on to say i give terrible advice and made personal attacks. My response was as it always is to that kind of people. It is just fine that you stand in the way of your own progress. People are free to choose what they listen to and what they drill and why. Sure there is plenty of bad info being passed around and there is no standardized form that is best for everyone. I just keep on spreading the info. It is up to the player to decide what they listen to and do.
My only agenda is to spread info so that people can learn and in order to help them to advance ask them to try everything to see how far they can go easily by finding out what works gor them in the short term first. Then seeing what works for them now and why observing their strong and weak points hopefully there is room for improvement. Identifying what could be changed for improvement dictates what should be drilled and how and then suggesting it is all i can do. I am not forcing anyone to do anything. The only thing i hope everyone would do is to use some sense in methods like determining what works and hopefully finding out why by testing what changes in distance, accuracy and repeatability between two different parts of the form. The rest is up to the player. People seem very resistant to use of even so obviously useful metrics. Their choice. One could argue that it is to the detriment of future players that ineffective training methods, false conclusions and data is being spread around. It is but who can censor that or teach everyone when many are not willing to listen? I will not fight windmills for long. If someone resists facts they deserve ignoring life is too short for trying to teach those who do not want to be taught. I have no illusions of available time i cannot teach everyone and it is better to teach those willing to do the heavy lifting than those wishing for silver bullets. Wishful thinkers...
