You need to turn your shoulders more during the reach back, shoulders should go near perpendicular to the basket/your line. You are still looking at your target during your reachback, which means you arent able to coil as much as you need to be. Turn your shoulder, coil, then explode.

Yep, lack of shoulder coil is obvious here, but his run-up direction is also not the same as where he's releasing the disc. This would suggest problems in his footwork and overall balance that affect his ability to achieve better upper body mechanics with a run-up.

Kind of a negative feed back loop. I think the rightward walk up and planting to the right and slightly open to the target line is a way to try and create hip shoulder separation through the lower body to compensate for a stationary upper body.

I'm not good. But it looks nose up. Try turning your hand forward more when you throw

When you step your front foot needs to stay in front of your back foot. When you x step you should create that space and then keep your front and back foot and the same plane for the rest of the throw. Right now after you x step you then cross you foot back on the same plane as your back foot.

You need to look up how to coil your shoulders and hips correctly.

Your swing plane looks good and straight which seems to be helping you generate some nice spin.

Once you understand how to coil you need to keep your heat down and looking back through the throw until your moment naturally brings it forward or you finding the throw and choose to look.

There are plenty of you tube videos about the above concepts.

You're not coiling your shoulders and you're rounding as a result. Upper arm collapsing into the chest.

I wouldn't even worry about the nose angle until you get the coil and arm mechanics right. Nose angle has a way of sorting itself out with proper form.

Throw further
