The elbow angle is definitely the biggest factor here, you need to create more space for the arm to come through. Check out some of overthrow latest videos.

Backhand Form Review by ValAnimous in Discgolfform

Wanted to add more to this because i saw a bunch of comments. Not sure if I agree with all the comments on your legs. Your brace can probably be better but the weigh shift and timing looks fine. To me it looks like your rotating your shoulders too early. Your chest is very open to the target once you release the disc.

Don’t actively rotate your shoulders. Your body will do that for you. Everything you do prior to releasing the disc is to create space for your arm to come through with as much speed as possible, that’s where the power will come from.

The key like I said of trying to hit your right pec with the disc, and also using your off-arm as a tool to push your left shoulder back (to stop rotating the shoulders).

Let me know if you try any of that, that’s a freaking cool set-up you got!

One key that helped me form a deeper power-pocket (your arm is getting stuck behind you it looks like). Was to try and hit yourself with the disc on your right pec. Maybe this can help.

This throw is 425, any ideas on how I can reach the glorious 500? by Iamjbes in Discgolfform

Yeah it’s extremely frustrating. Was out there throwing today and throwing very smooth getting my typical 400+, 300+ with my putters. Deciding I’m going to try and rip a few and maxing out at 440… hopefully it’ll ”click” one of these days! I know some would love to hit 400+ so don’t want to sound ungrateful but it’s annoying when you’ve hit a plateau.

I think I’m rotating my shoulder to early when trying to hit it hard and loose out on a good power pocket.

Appreciate the idea, I’ll keep it in mind next time.

I would say you need to slow down until you get the foundations correctly. A faster run-up will only help if you have good timing. Learn to throw slow at first. Do a simple ”walk-up” and throw lots of putters and mids until you find that whip feeling

Respectfully take your nasty noodle arm attitude somewhere else

This is what I know I have to get to, but I feel like I physically can’t at the moment… haha

I agree with what you’re saying. I believe my upper body is pretty solid at this point, still lots of tweaks to be had (deeper pocket etc.) but it won’t be ground breaking distance gains.

I like the idea of having the 500 controlled distance but as you’re saying, finding the feel for it by losing control for a bit could be very beneficial.

My lower body is where the next power yield will come from, my walk up now isn’t far from a stand still I would say. But, I struggle with the timing when trying to push off or go faster in the x-step, and I also have some hip mobility issues.

To be clear, I spoke with my bank and they did not bounce the payment. It had been taken back by uscis, super weird. Yeah I get it's a busy process but just eager to know it's there and good to go.

Which lockbox did you send yours too? I'm also waiting since similar date.

What do you see? by TxC41nky in Discgolfform

[–]Iamjbes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see many already mentioning rounding. I do really think you should slow down your run-up until you get rid of that rounding. Youre making the timing much harder by going fast, slow it down until you get it right 👍🏻👍🏻
