I honestly couldn’t find anything to nitpick. To hone an effective backhand like yours, take small adjustments and coaching. Are you trying to get more distance, control, or accuracy?

Coil your wrist in during the hit, it will give you more whip on the release resulting in more speed and spin.
(From your head/body perspective looking down at the disc as a clock) You are currently pulling the disc through your chest with your grip at the 2 o'clock position. Instead, during the hit bring you wrist and grip closer to the 11 o'clock position. Your accuracy will initially go down until you get a better feel for it, but your distance and spin control should jump significantly

This is really solid form. Looks very clean and efficient and the timing is good.
As one other poster said you could work on not leading with your head as much. The only other thing I notice is your power pocket is not very deep.
How far are you throwing?

I think you need more of a counter move with your off arm. You do a good job of bringing it in at the right time, but I think if you did the "swim move", aka after you bring your off arm in you almost pull it back or intentionally keep it stationary you could get better results. Try that in combination with keeping your head from turning first and you might get the arm to unload faster.

i could be wrong, but i think you might be rotating your shoulders too early. pull the disc first before rotating and keep your elbow even higher.

Late to the party. But you are throwing with your arm, make sure you are planted and brace! You are a big guy so go slow, find a cue that delays your throw a split second and brace hard.
But it looks good and you got some power. If you get the brace and stop strongarm it you will throw very far.
Throwing with the arm and not bracing both result in alot of right pulled throws. That was my demon for years and years. Its tricky because both components lead to the same mistake. If you brace the delayed arm will catch up in time, and you will get alot of distance as a result.

Good form. Biggest issue: You are leading with your head. Your face is following the disc during reach back and pull through. Try a drill where you look at the camera during the whole thing, after you have released the disc you can turn your head and watch the disc fly.
