A year later. This vid still helps and I agree with the comment above, that I would like to see more "DG tips".

​@@EzraAderholdDG At 0:34 seconds, you say "pull-through" and you repeat it a few times. "The disc stops moving ... until you pull through at the last second." Then at 0:47 seconds in. This is a literal pulling motion. What I think you and others are saying is what actually happens is this is only part of the movement. The distinction, I think, is that it is more of a backhanding motion at a certain point, almost as if you're slapping someone at the end. But this is not pulling as done with a lawnmower, or where the back is parallel. The rotation of the body and the relative position of the arm through the process is complicated. There's no slapping motion at the end of a lawnmower pull. I think people get caught up with "pulling" and less about what else the body is doing throughout the movement. The entire movement isn't a pull. You don't even have to think about that. In a movement that takes a fraction of a second, who does that anyways. But the start of that throwing movement is a pull, but it ends up like a backhand, almost a slapping motion. I've seen other YTers saying this too, pros, so I know it sounds like I'm being dense here, but people at the highest level are saying different things about this. What do you think, Ezra? Could you may be expand on the idea that any pull is limited to maybe a part of the throw, but the throw itself is maybe a different action? Thank you for all that you are doing!

@@NickCarroll pulling the arm through with your body, internally rotate the shoulder to prevent the arm from collapsing into your chest

@@NickCarroll As a new player (~6 months), I agree that the term "pull-through" is pretty deceiving. When I hear it described by most pros, I'm thinking pull the disc as you would pull a lawnmower cord, but it usually turns into rounding, strong-arming, or unintentional release angles. If I remember correctly, Danny with DD did a video explaining why you shouldn't pull the disc and instead should keep your arm on the outside of the disc and use your body to pull your arm through like a whip. I think that's what Poster is referring to, but it's helped me snap the disc a little more. Something else that's a problem for me is loading my lower body; I keep the disc over my back foot and have a proper reach back (according to local players), but I can tell I'm not really storing up energy. An experiment I stumbled on is to jump in the air and try to spin as many times as you can before you land. Sounds childish, but what I've noticed is the way I load my legs/core feels completely different than how I load to throw a disc. I haven't had time to see if it actually helps me throw better, but it's still worth it.

Hey…. Your putting and touch shots really seemed to improve this season. What are some of the things you changed, or drills that you did to help this?

Thanks!! Mostly just reps. Honestly tho those are a couple parts of the game I'm really focusing on this off-season haha
