ThroForm Final Review. Did it work after 1 week?

[@chasemesserly3937]

Nick, did you notice anything with it helping with nose angle?

[@NickCarroll]

Generally they were better, but I did have a few times where I threw too high when I was playing, without the ThroForm. Usually when playing, if I throw nose up, it's because I am trying too hard. With the ThroForm it only happens if my form breaks down enough. If you drop the elbow, you can circumvent this, and that will cause nose up throws for sure. But if you can keep the elbow up you will largely prevent nose up throws. Or minimize them to manageable levels.

So Nick you still seem to be rounding in most of these throws, but in different ways. On your standstill throws you reach back looks really good, but right as you begin your pull through you are pulling the disc into your chest immediately. So your chest is still facing back with the disc already pulled into it so from that point forward you are rounding in order to eject the disc. Throws at 8:30 and 11:15 shows this very clearly. Slow down to .25X speed and go frame by frame. Not sure if this is something you have always done or something new caused by the tool thats making you bend your elbow so early. Then on your walk up throws, you are still reaching behind your body. The throw at 10:20 is pretty close to being good, but then the throw at 11:30 you are reaching way behind yourself causing your elbow to drop way low and the disc come up near your ear (so no change from usual). So its hard to say if the throw form is helping much or not. Another thing that may be causing your rounding issues that thro form probably cant help is the extreme amount of leaning you do. You lean way far back as you coil and as a result lean forward to uncoil creating balance issues. Would be interesting to see if you could focusing on coiling without the additional leaning if that would help too.

Yeah I have more issues with my form than rounding, and the ThroForm is preventing horizontal collapse, but as I said in the video, the forearm will still advance behind the body, even without any collapse. That's why I said it's no substitute for active formwork, and it can be subverted by dropping the elbow. I'm going over those specific cues in my next video.

[@KhufuhK]

Yeah, still actively pulling the disc using the arm instead of the body unfortunately.

[@NickCarroll]

@@KhufuhK I'm not trying to be combative, but I am using both the arm and the body, just not effectively, and that's because of multiple problems I'm dealing with. If you watch any BlitzDG video he's pulling the hell out of the disc. But he's coiling better, not leaning back like I am, and his timing is better. Those are things I'm working on, but the swing path has to be fixed first. I have actually fixed it, but it's not as evident in this video because I'm moving too fast to maintain control over my arm. It'll be more apparent in the video that drops Wednesday, and it'll be a shorter video that focuses on the specific changes I'm starting with. 🙂
