Grip pressure should increase as acceleration increases. You want firm control of the disc's weight to sling it forward.

I'd say it's both. Describing this stuff gets tricky, but it is really simple to feel. Get a hammer and use it sideways, pound the nail.when the disc reaches between your pecs and you are crushing forward with elbow, the elbow keep moving forward and at one point, elbow must open and extend.
does that happens naturally or you should be doing a karate chop and actively opening elbow?
You should be able to do the Hershyzer in slow motion - it's about balance and controlling your weight. See how McBeth's rear hip is balanced/stacked in posture with the ankle and knee, he is leveraged to make a balanced forward move from the Hershyzer. Butt is counter balanced and wiping the wall.
Been talking about the Greg Norman move for years on here and in my vids...when I look at Beto drill, and all the slow mo on youtube of top pros, i see the same thing every time. Trail leg is kicking back AWAY from rotation of throwing motion. Trail side, trail leg is resisting and actually kicks counter rotary to the rotation of the lead side. I haven't been throwing much, just less than a year. I was trying to find the snap feeling, as soon as I got this intention in my throw, that once the weight was transferred to lead foot, the trail foot kicked off back behind to provide a counter resistance to the lead arm moving forward and around. SNAP. With out the counter motion, there is no snap. If you tried to push off forward or in the same rotation direction as the lead hand/shoulder/arm, you can't snap. I've looked everywhere for somebody to say this in youtube land or on this forum, nothing. Sidewinder was so close to it in the chair drill, but nada. Its like trying to throw something in space, you end up pushing yourself backward.
Its a Greg Norman move, I wish I had understood that when I was playing D1 ball golf a million years ago.
Yeah I think you answered it in the other thread, you are still stuck on the rear foot at the plant and not shifting your balance/lower spine forward into the plant.
Frame 5 - Note how Brinster is finished with his rear foot still braced behind him and smashed his rear shoulder/weight through to the front foot and his throwing hand has smashed through the swing to finish right over the rear foot = max swing extension through your spine axis from rear foot to throwing hand. His hips are square to the target. We can see your rear foot and hip/axis have swung around you with your hand effectively shortening your swing through impact and over-rotated, instead of bracing and countering the rear side/weight to max extension and release of the throwing arm.

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.
Hard to explain, drills are moving in slow motion so you have to actively turn more I think. When you turn/load back and can brace up against momentum, things unwind more automatically.Hello SW. When you said you reverse for forward swing, does this mean you actively turn your hips clockwise right after the plant or does the momentum from the rear leg into the plant turn the hips.
I did not understand your answer a few posts earlier for a similar question.
I first thought actively with the one butt wipe video against the wall but then I saw the baseball batter videos in another thread.
Thank you in advance.
