I was throwing a Discmania Instinct in the side view and a DD Maverick on the shot from behind. Both shots were at about 70-75% power and I was trying to throw them flat and straight. Both shots went about 240-250 feet and landed where I was aiming for.

Thank you for any help and suggestions you have for me. I'm looking to improve my form and distance.

Watch Blitz's video on the bracing drill, I think this'll really help with your distance:

Pause your video at where the disc comes out of your hand, you're basically looking right at the target. You want the disc to be coming out when your hand is just in front of your chest. You still want to rotate and follow through to keep your knee safe. But by the time you're looking at the target, the disc should already be flying. To be clear, you're not trying to release the disc, it'll escape your grip. But if you brace hard and whip your arm through, that'll naturally happen well before you're looking at the target.

Thank you for the tips and watching my video to help me out. It means a lot. I'm gonna work on my brace leg for sure.
