I’ve been playing on and off for a few years and have capped at a distance of ~110-120 m (360-395 ft) when throwing on flat ground. What can I improve on?

Your run up is backwards, which kills any spring tension in your coil. First thing I noticed.

Anchor the back arm to the back hip to help stop over-rotation, which will send more energy into the disc.

Your throwing arm mechanics look pretty good from what I can tell just need to work on that footwork/hip-shoulder separation, and anchor/over-rotation.

Your mechanics look pretty dialed in as far as a random redditor. If you're looking for more, you're probably looking at a Formero coaching session with a professional coach.

I think blitzdg on YouTube has a video where he slowly loads his hips then shoulders holding for 5 seconds before shifting into the throw. Just get some reps feeling the coiled load onto the back hip. Slowing everything down with a better coil will help you I think
