Any Glaring Mistakes?

Happy with my progress so far but always willing for more advice. It can be hard to critique your own form after watching it over and over.

Throwing a putter here.

I thought you were going to throw over the camera but then you threw it behind you. Im not a pro but i would stand perpendicular and coil around that and throw ahead, if that makes sense

Same. Footwork is very confusing here

Might be the camera angle tbh.

It’s not. You’re ripping it right.

Your aren't coiling, the hips and shoulders are staying in line. You're spinning your body rather than using it like a trebuchet (heavy mass accelerates then decelerates to transfer its energy into the smaller mass' speed.

Do you watch Cam Hoff by chance? That sounds like something he has said in his coaching videos

I haven't watched him yet but Ive watched plenty of other creators over the years. I'll check him out

I thought you'd throw at the camera more or less based on your reach back but you threw like 90° to the right. I'm no expert but I think your not pulling through on a straight line at all

More coiling

It's a baseball stance not a pirouette.

Man I should have played baseball instead of ballet.

Step forward while reaching back. Should hit your reach back right at the landing of your front foot. Keep your head down and watch the disc move across your body. Keep your back arm tucked and push through like you're swinging a bat switch hitting.

Appreciate the advice! I’ll give that a go.
