    Try thinking of bringing the disc under your armpit. That should keep the elbow up. I don't know if the elbow up or what way is correct. Maybe the elbow in the middle not high or low is correct. Moving the disc into the back of the forearm will keep the elbow online, if the forearm is straight the elbow can't drop.

    Good stuff do you think should start at beginning of run up with scapula protracted at beginning of run up, as soon as your reach back or when exactly do you start the protraction? Seems like for me it would be easier to start as soon as I’m lining up my shot so it’s one less thing to think about until it becomes ingrained?

    • @stepwise-dg
      @stepwise-dg 3 дні тому

      Yeah, preset it ideally, and then stretch it even deeper on reachback. Presetting it will help build up the muscle memory and if you forget to deepen it more on the reachback then at least you still have some of it there. Plus, presetting it will make it easier to accidentally horizontally collapse your shoulder when reaching back for the people who do that because of not coiling and instead collapse their arm across their chest when reaching backwards, but because of that wall drill I showed, scapular protraction creates a natural resistance to horizontal collapse, so it might help people feel if they are about to horizontally collapse on the reachback because they will feel it's harder to collapse if they were maintaining protraction.

      Neil, glad you are mulling over many obscure ideas. 👏👏 One note, as I’ve mentioned in the past, my research shows that the scapular retraction (at least back to neutral) happens almost instantaneously in the first few milliseconds of the pull. The retraction leads, and seems to initiate, torso rotation in better players. Space in PP is not nearly as important as the timing of the upper arm horizontal abduction. If your arm is leading the rotation, collapse and a tight PP space is non-existent as long as you can maintain a somewhat straight line of force. On another quick suggestion, it is a courteous idea to acknowledge others when using Internet content. No big deal, just a FWIW.

Can also try experimenting with starting with a briefcase during setup, turning it out of briefcase during reachback, then back into briefcase into pocket, then out again. It might be easier that way to feel a rhythm and exaggerate the motion with a more prominent change in direction as you are more actively moving into a briefcase into pocket.

    Wow, I can't believe you are recommending people do drills to turn their hips away and facing their butts toward the target. Totally contrary to what pros are teaching. Why are you teaching side bend? So many amateurs side bend and slow their whole swing down and wreck their coil and uncoil. You are putting thoughts about two things into new players heads that should not be thinking about either of these things. Way too much info about things that are not simple effective drills. TMI.

      @stepwise-dg 14 днів тому

      @@chrysr7773 it’s more of a defining mechanics and showing some examples of how to feel certain things individually rather than a series of absolute beginner drills. However, I don’t think the amateurs who wreck their coil and uncoil are usually doing this from side bend, I think it’s more because they lean backwards then topple forwards over their brace which is not side bend as I explained in the vid. Part of coiling IS turning your butt (to some degree) towards the target, but it’s doing it WITHOUT turning the feet backward which is what makes rear hip coiling instead of just turning feet backwards and running backwards. It sounds like your issues are more with people running up backwards and leaning away from the target then toppling forward, which is not what I am recommending, and I specifically mentioned to not do in the video and show how side bending actually helps avoid. I also said that side bend normally happens automatically when you coil for real, and you normally don’t have to think about it, but since this is a video about defining mechanics, I want to define each of the main mechanics of coiling.

  • @NickCarroll
    @NickCarroll 16 днів тому

    I think important takeaways here are: 1. The shoulders and hips are complex structures with multiple bones and joints that act as levers and hinges. 2. Dialing in the right level of coil or rotation throughout the body for the type of throw isn't easy because of the anatomical complexity, and movement timing. 3. The legs have bones that rotate at their hip, knee, and ankle joints. Internal rotation is greatest at the hips, limited at the knees, and the most limited at the ankles. I think people throwing for distance want as much rotation of the shoulders relative to the hips, only enough rotation of the hips as needed. Rotation of the various parts of the leg needs to occur only to the extent needed to facilitate the above.

I liked overthrows recent video where he’s teaching it to somebody who normally throws nose up. And then, like I show in this video, it’s easier to time it and exaggerate on slower throws. You can also use a Pickleball paddle and swing it like disc golf backhand form, but hold the paddle so that when you swing it, it would be sideways and therefore will slice through the air without whooshing and then you practice the arm rotation motion, while swinging to turn the paddle face so that it will woosh at the hit. I plan to make a short video showing this as a drill. I also love using a Pickleball paddle for warming up in general and practicing some swings with that woosh feedback. Stringed rackets won’t woosh as easily because of the gaps between the strings, letting the air through.

And when I think “use the arm to throw harder” my body feels that uncoiling more powerfully is how to do that which means I need a strong coil. And to uncoil more powerfully, that will make me want to brace more strongly so that I have a strong base to not fall apart while trying to uncoil powerfully. But all of that will be ruined with bad timing, but it’s hard to have simple thoughts for everything to time up well, but trying to develop feeling a rhythm in the runup and throw helps with that. I’ve had many 63 mph throws that felt as effortful as my max 69 mph throws because of timing. If you’ve never thrown a heavier object before, it can help to feel how important the lower body is to support the arm. Just gotta be careful and go slow to not hurt yourself.

    Brother, This has dramatically helped me. Thank you so much.

      Awesome! I talk a bit more about it in this video if you haven't seen it: ua-cam.com/video/Kf7z8FZBIu8/v-deo.html

    When I get shoulder protraction right, it makes timing simpler because my arm becomes "attached" to the rest of my body. It helps the sequence to fall into place, instead of my arm starting too soon. Thanks for sharing! Now I have a better vocabulary to describe the feeling and can diagnose the different types of collapse. I feel like there is a similar missing link when I throw forehand, like my shoulder isn't in place to take advantage of my body's positions. My elbow and wrist are doing all the work. Do you think there is an analog of this idea, for forehand throws?

      That's awesome, good explanation. This is an under discussed topic in BH, so in FH, if there is an analog it's probably even harder to come by. I haven't thought it or tested enough with FH, but will make a vid on it if I find an analog. This made me curious if the role of scapular protraction is already documented in baseball pitching. I asked chat gpt if it plays a role when throwing a baseball 'by your side' (hoping it would be more similar to FH in dg at your side) and it listed lots of benefits. I think people who FH trying to tuck the elbow close to the body probably wouldn't use that much, but maybe people who FH with the elbow further away from the body would. For example, Ryan Sheldon has his elbow pretty far away from the body on a crush, looks like he's trying to take full advantage of the length of his arm kinda, which scapular protraction should help with. Can't really through the shirt when / how much scapular protraction is used but take a look at the elbow distance at the timestamp: ua-cam.com/video/cHpb3CHDiZ0/v-deo.html Mind as well try scapular protraction on FH with the tech disc first before looking for any other analog, haha.
