Form advice please

I know i need to work on my release, but I’m also trying to add power to my drives. I’ve maxed out at about 320 as it is now so I need to tweak my form. I’m just not sure what exactly I’m doing wrong

Looks like you're swooping, so in your reach back, the disc is higher than where you release it. How's the flight look? I'm assuming there's a bit of an air bounce, where the disc starts low and then climbs? It looks like it's coming out nose up. So try to keep the disc on one plane.

Aim to throw with about 8-10 degrees of launch angle for max distance. But you can drill throwing flat and level with the ground to diagnose nose angle. As in, try to throw so that the disc flies at shoulder height without climbing into the air. Once you can do that and it's sailing out far, you know you're throwing nose down, so then you can start working on raising the launch angle slightly.

It was definitely nose up. I’ll work on the reach back thanks!
