To me it looks like he is getting onto the front leg for the entire swing. Not finishing balanced, but to me the sequencing looks really good. Agreed, SW?

There's no resistance/brace in your front hip(the move part 2/from behind you), you are going around it and shoulder flying open and over top. Looks like you are still pushing your pelvis around and late instead of forward and your rear hip/leg trail around/over in the followthrough. Your rear knee should hang under your hip and follow through almost tangled with front knee/squeezing you upright. Your knees are spreading apart as you tip over and your rear knee moves away from the rear hip. Look at how Wiggins finishes with feet tangled together totally upright braced in finish like Olympic hammer thrower.
There's not much real difference in the rear leg among top throwers, it basically just reacts to whatever stride length and direction and balance and posture you have. This why all top ball golfers finish in the same position.
Take a full Feldy/McBeth pre-swing and work around the disc - door frame 3. You are turning backward way too early(rear leg too backward) and then extending your rear leg, instead of swiveling/squatting more into the rear leg on the way down from behind into the plant. It will probably feel like you are turning back too late when you get it right. That rear leg extension is pushing you too far horizontal and up/over into the plant instead of dropping more vertical into the front leg plant while leveraged from behind(rear hip internally rotated). Your rear side should rotate underneath the front side - perpetual tilted spiral. Also note your front elbow is fully extended while everyone else is bent due to bracing front side shoulder closed and lag. Your shoulders are in full go and arm/towel is already pulled taut because of the rear leg extension/un-winding/spin out.
What do you mean under crossover each other. do you mean my knees have to go "over" eachother during xstep? I watched all the pros and their knees do not crossover each other also. Maybe I am misunderstanding something.Your knees are too bent and never crossover each other.
You are extending your rear knee into the plant instead of flexing while extending the foot.

What do you mean under flexing while extending the foot? What I have to flex exactly? And what is extending the foot mean? Do you mean extending from ankle, plantar flexion?
SP said it, your knees are hitting into each other, instead of crossing behind and back over out of the way of each other. Note how Doss and Mcbeth have daylight between their knees and their pelvis is turned back closed. Move more like a sideways horse gallop.Your left knee goes directly to the right knee, the pro's have the left knee stride behind the right knee so that the two knees are essentially overlayed if looking from the side view. Your knees just meet each other on the insides of the leg.
You also extend the entire back leg when you push so the knee is nearly straight and your leg then kind of drags forward, the pro's drive off the instep and the knee will move underneath the rear hip. Driving off the instep will have plantar flexion. I'd have to see a side view but I think from that last behind view video, your rear knee likely stays in place after your rear leg is extended, and the leg rotates/spins on its axis.
I tried to push off from rear foot earlier and stay on rear foot toes more. The feeling is good, drives hitting 400 feet, but not sure how to get more.
This is not max power throw, this is putter at 80%.
In the forward swing... you need to plant your front heel before you turn your butt to swing back targetward.
Do you turn your butt or pelvis forward consciously or it just happens after weight shift?
What I mean is, should I be actively turning butt/pelvis to gain power from it?
I turn my butt forward to turn my arm/disc into the backswing together. Then reverse for forward swing, turn butt away from target which turns arm/disc forward together like a catapult/counterweight across your center of gravity/fulcrum, butt on one side and arm/disc on the other side.Do you turn your butt or pelvis forward consciously or it just happens after weight shift?
