If you creat more space between your chest and the disc and start your rotation with your off arm you will make a big jump in distance when you get the timing down. Make sure your throwing arm isn’t fully extended on your reach back until your front foot hits the ground. Then propel the centripetal force by taking your off arm/shoulder and driving it to your inseam or exaggerate and drive it to the right hip at first. Let your throwing arm stay loose and whippy and then let you momentum Cary your backside around. As slingshot disc golf says “be a back leg player”
@@IceBergTV absolutely! I’m no expert but those things have helped me reach the 500’ mark. July 2023 will be 4 years from the first time I ever played disc golf.
Look at 5:29 of the video in .25 speed. Something I see you doing, that I also do, that I think robs us of being able to put more force on the disc, is our forearm never quite reaches a 90 degree angle, and the disc barely goes through the power pocket. I just joined the Scott Stokely Method and will be working on my backhand form, and I hope to fix this issue for myself.
Doesn't look like your elbow is hinging at all on that rear view of your recent form, which leads me to believe you're tensing up too early and trying to accelerate the disc too early. I too used to have a similar issue with pulling through too low. My reachback was really high, but I tended to pullthrough and release at my lower abdomen. I had to think as if I was trying to slice my throat with my disc, and the end result was a pullthrough that was at my chest.
Dylan, thanks for sharing this. You can really notice the differences between the two forms, and the implements you did after the class you took from Scott. I just don't really get how you say at one point you worked really hard for creating this new form, and at the other point you say you haven't done a lot of rounds and fieldwork. I'd say dedication would've been a few rounds and a lot of fieldwork. Filming yourself, or take more classes from Scott/others so you get constant feedback on what you're trying.

Had to check this out after your vid with Stokely! Awesome stuff!

Nice break down.

omg that slicing my own throat idea just may have been a breakthrough mentally for me. ill have to try it out
Good luck

Everytime i throw i force myself to use the new form, so even without heaps of practice you can still make it work
