imgur.comNo way you sent a mid 380 with this form unfortunately. Unless you threw downhill.
First, check how your feet are planted during the final step. Your toes are pointing outward. This is not good. Your feet should be more like a snowboarder’s. Both toes pointing toward the left side of the tee pad for a RHBH. There should be a stagger (different for everyone on how much their right foot is left of their left’s from the perspective on the golfer from back of teepad).
Most importantly off that first point, your front foot should be fully perpendicular to your target and it should snap open (toes forward) as you throw the disc. This ensures the hips are involved.
Disc looks slightly nose up, more distance is in store if it comes out flat.

Thanks for the feedback, nose up has been my biggest struggle on release.
And as far as the distance that's what it lasered at. It could be wrong granted.

You're getting a warship out to 380'?

Just to confirm, was it the short pin or something?! 380 with a midrange is stunningly far! Great shot regardless.

It just glides and glides! It was hole 11 for the trilogy change at Shawnee mission park. Parked it and hole is marked 398

So I could be wrong here, but most trilogy challenges are played to shorter pins, and the short on that hole per Udisc/DGCR is 250'.
I'm only trying to clarify that because 380' out of a midrange is top 5% distance out of a midrange. That would have your throwing your drivers 500'+ with relative ease.
The only reason I'm asking is because it changes what people will tell you. If you're pumping a midrange out to 380, not a lot of improvement to be had. If you're getting a midrange to 250' that's a much different question.

Yeah.. that hole was like 250 downhill. Threw the judge on that saturday.

Not according to the Bushnell, 392 +4ft up

Good job getting to 380feet!!
I like how your plant foot knee is pointed inwards, or its pointed away from basket, right before your plant foot lands.

However once your plant foot lands. your knee is pointed more towards the basket vs the first picture.

This is opening up your right hip ever so slightly.
Its hard to see, hopefully this angle helps illustrate it.

Note how in the image above the right knee has a good angle in it as its pointed inwards or away from the basket. This helps keep the right hip closed which helps with rotation.
Also this same goes for the left knee. Your left knee is pointed away from basket or not pointed inwards towards your other knee causing the left hip to open and loose rotation.
This video below helps explain the situation.

This video below I like showing an example of how it could look as an over exaggeration but a visual to understand.

What you can do?
Bend knees more, slightly take shorter stride from x-step, your left foot as it comes out of the xstep could point more towards the basket (this was something i did and it helped alot)
I hope this helps! Good luck, have fun!
Hey I don’t really know much about form as most of the people in this sub, but what do you think about the follow-through? Should you turn/pivot the plant foot after the release to avoid stress on the knee?
I've been reading through this thread(posted below) about the follow through. It has a lot of good information I'm digesting. The first page especially posts by 'jhern' are really helpful.

As far as turn/pivot. I am not sure, I haven't studied/researched that part too much. For myself If something starts to hurt I am doing it wrong or I am doing a movement too much and simply its wearing down on my body so I take a break.
Yes, you want to spin out on the front HEEL generally. After the plant, brace, throw. Google kick the can dg exercise.
Thank you so much for the solid and helpful feedback!!!
