Hold the disc in your hand. Extend it to the release point. Now pretend it's a key and "turn it on all the way" (rhbh). Notice what happens to tour forearm and elbow. I am trying to correct my swing as well. I do something awkward with my forearm.
kind of lost me at the "turning the key thing". As you throw the disc should there be a "turning the key" motion??? That doesn't make sense to me. That GIF in the previous post makes sense in regard to lining up the disc as I hold it in my hand before I reachback (to get the disc aligned with my forearm and get the wrist tilted down/shaking hands type position), but where does the key turn come into play?
Film your throw so you can see yourself releasing the disc. You'll see right away what nose angle you have as the disc is leaving your handadded an arrow
Played a round today and really focused on the turn the key aspect of my swing.
How would you explain the Turn the Key aspect?
If you are throwing well, you're probably doing this already. I don't know the origin of the key turn, but I have to consciously keep my disc below my elbow and release with a key turn (pouring coffee) Hand angle in mind. (Not on power down upshots, but those with power)
Makes sense. I thought it was describing some sort of clockwise rotation like you are turning a key in a lock or something and it didn't make sense.
So it is another way of thinking of the ulnar deviation/hand shake/coffee pour position of the wrist, not a rotational thing?
Alright 2nd time poster so I'll give this a whirl... discbee and seedling, its a counter clockwise turn at the hit if you're right handed. WATCH and REWATCH rhatton1's video about this it is THE video on this 'aspect' of the throw. You wil noob hyzer a few(at least) to start it off with. Once you get the TIMING down for the "key turn, coin push" you WILL feel it
