I think I'm finding the elusive snap in my dirve.
Couple things I've been thinking about
1. Some of the driving articles talk about the pull-through of the disc almost touching your nips. I find that is I keep the disc that close to my body it's very hard to keep the disc flat as I release. Instead the disc comes out (not on purpose) with a huge hyzer angle. I'm finding that If I do the same pull through motion ( not in a windmill motion, but a straight pull through) about 1 foot out from my chest the I have a much better/fluid release and the disc fly's as it is intended.
2. How much do you bend your elbow when you drive. This is question for those that use the reach back and not the bent elbow technique. I was cocking my arm (at the elbow) much more than I usually do and I wa adding about 50 ft. on my drive.
3. Interesting...my most accurate drive out on the field was a hyzer flip[ throw with a Leopard
