300 ft max. about the same distance with buzzz or teebird

Here are a few clips of me throwing. The 1st video and the first and final throw in the 2nd video seem to have the best snap, but most of my shots are nose up which I think is killing my distance/glide.

Anything you see wrong with my throws, or any advice you can give for me??

thanks

i'm not an expert... but it's obvious you have nose angle issues, that's probably why you are throwing your discs about the same distance. Mids are less affected by nose angle than drivers.

Nose up release could be caused by a couple of things (or a combination of things). Make sure when you grip, your wrist is tilted down like you're pouring a pot of coffee.

Second, you're not getting you're weight shifted all the way through. Your torso should finish even with your plant leg, or even in front of it. From the videos you're not getting your weight to your front foot, and that can cause noose-up issues.

MDP my friend, great advice. I never noticed until you said that. I can see me knee bending, almost buckling, right when the power is there. If I get my weight over it and power through with my leg I bet I will be doing some damage very soon.

Thanks man!

Fixing the knee bend and getting more weight forward helps a lot but you also pull slightly down to up from reach back to rip. And you need to wrestle the wrist down in the snap portion of the throw. Your hips, shoulders and arm swing don't seem that explosive in the acceleration.

Ya I look pretty weak throwing it...kinda like a nice fluffy toss, not explosive like you said. I was messing around letting the disc get further towards my right shoulder before whipping around, and it seemed to have a good effect. I'll try to get some more video once I get some improvement.
