Ive tried to "replicate" your 3 step walk-up brychanus and actually found it to be much more consistent than my own 5 step (facing to target) walk-up.
I'm having such a hard time feeling any momentum from the pocket and out, that being when I drill it from a much slower throw. It seems like when I exaggerate it, get into a "deep" pocket, the energi/momentum gets lost somewhere, because it sure isn't going into the disc lol..
The only way I can feel a "heavy hand" when going "out" is to throw with a "stiff" arm and that brings a lot of trouble with it.
The brace is what it is, that's something I can grasp and probably work on.
The arm slot and upper body posture kills me though.
My distance is creeping slowly upwards, but I need to put a ton of effort into it and that's not where I want to go.
As always, thanks for your help guys, I appreciate it
