Really interesting post - Just to be crystal-clear: The breakthrough you experienced concerns the need for the the lower body to 'rotate' first right? So you dont rotate your upper body solely from your backleg, but initiate the motion with the hips and then 'slingshoot' the upper body through after? <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026852332372496889.post-784065868902284312016-09-27T05:33:21.272-07:002016-09-27T05:33:21.272-07:00niceniceWilliamKinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11551278829221366384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026852332372496889.post-83557297314902877672016-01-19T15:38:28.387-08:002016-01-19T15:38:28.387-08:00Sorry for the idiots, regardless ones opinions its...Sorry for the idiots, regardless ones opinions its so childish to bash another!!

Not even just for the sake of throwing far but also for the sake of control and accuracy as well. Sidewinder22 just brought this home for me in the exact same way he did for you and I can agree that this is THE ah ha moment most people are probably looking for. Im my case it, once I grasped this, everything else I have ever read about backhand form made more sense and throwing felt so much less awkward and painful (lots of back problems). I still have a TON of work to do but Its is good to know for once that I am not just causing more bad habits to break later or injuries to heal later. I suggest everyone starting out to check out everything that Sidewinder22 has written (and filmed) about bracing and posture!

Also playing into things are aspects like core strength, spine health, and the ability to clamp down on the disc when the wrist is curled in, which is not at all easy. The backhand is a difficult motion to sort out and damnably difficult to become truly consistently good at, at least in my limited experience.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14328401081765407624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026852332372496889.post-10718133274379676322014-07-03T16:20:25.919-07:002014-07-03T16:20:25.919-07:00I would even venture into the territory to make cl...I would even venture into the territory to make claims that his style of throwing is worse than many noobs I see on the course.

Part of it too relates to which of your legs is dominant. I'm a lefty for throwing but kick with my right leg, and my right leg is stronger for bracing against then my left. It's my left though that needs to do the bracing when I throw.<br /><br />The pec drill is also helpful for working on getting onto the bracing leg.<br /><br />Good for you for having the courage to start from scratch again.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14328401081765407624noreply@blogger.com
