I always enjoy hearing about how technique tweaks affected your flight performance!

One thing I have been looking at that I wonder if you might try is increasing angle of attack. I see two possible ways to think about it: 1. When you see pros throw a roller, how they come like 45 degrees across the tee pad from back right to front left and then kind of throw back across their bodies. I don't mean the anhyzer part, just the steep body angle of release to run up. There are a few good examples of this from final day OTB coverage on Jomez with especially Keith but also Rathbun. 2. When I see power hyzers from behind, it always looks to me that the disc comes out farther right than they are lined up. So even if they go straight up the tee pad for their run up, the angle the disc launches from seems to come out at 1 o'clock. I know that they are releasing before 12, but I'm talking about if you defined their run up as 6 to 12, the flight of the disc is to the right of that line. This Bodanza video is one place I noticed at the given time stamp. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIKzqWChgZeab80 Either way it's kind of a controlled grip lock. I play with it some in the field and when I harness it, it does feel more powerful / more distance but it can be associated with anhyzer, so it's hard for me to isolate. I'm a lot less good at keeping other variables stable like you when I throw with my techdisc so I kind of trust your results more from experiments.

Yeah I’ve wanted to test this in a few different ways: 1. More right to left runup angle resulting in a more closed plant in relation to aim point but not due to an increasing the internal rotation of plant leg, just due to the run up angle. 2. Extra closed plant with aligned runup to aim point by actively internally rotating the plant leg more to close the plant extra 3. Straight aligned runup with aim point initially but then a wider more outward brace path similar to Simon where his brace foot crosses over his back foot and swings out to the right a little and then does a big swing out to the left making a crescent shape to the path instead of a straight line brace path. This is the one I was going to try next and have been fiddling with but I think I it also makes me more likely to actively internally rotate my brace more closed without trying to. I’ve felt similarly like it’s a controlled grip lock with some extra power. On the course I’ve aimed fairly well with it the little I’ve tried it but definitely was a little more prone to a bit too right on gaps.

Also interesting is David Wiggins 1 step standstill, not sure if this is still how he does it but I also want to try this, I normally step forward. Not sure if I want to commit to the heel strike part though lol. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b16Van54h6iKhKs

@@disc-golf-neil I throw almost exactly the same speed standstill as runup (maybe 60 vs 59 mph). And have seen some guys who throw 65 do silly hop step or one step runups and get 63...It seems like such a high percentage of the power is just that little hip/shoulder separation and last second snap.

I have to have a loose grip or I lose RPM. My nose angle also increases by 2-5 degrees on average (with a tight grip). A tighter grip gets me more consistent MPH, but sacrifices rotations. Also, I have hit speed PRs with a loose grip. 67 MPH is my best so far with my tech disc. 1210 is my max on RPM so far. I’m curious what mental cues you’d recommend for spin rate increase?

Did you see this video? I test a wrist cue rhythm that got me to break 1300 rpm. kzbin.info/www/bejne/onSac5qMg8eon7csi=z_dP4b8MBKXb1cCi I haven’t tested it a lot but the other cue would be just trying to let the wrist curl more into flexion on the way out of the power pocket.

have u tried a loose grip as long as possible then right before release gripping tight?

@disc-golf-neil 4 ай бұрын

I did it right after that but didn't film / make a vid. I threw slower when trying a loose grip but also my normal grip pressure but more relaxed overall in the body. For some people I'm sure it's useful to try to relax because many people get very rigid when trying harder. I have experience in racket sports where I already learned how to swing a racket hard without ruining my timing or being overly rigid.
