I need a forehand/sidearm lesson and I'm ready to pay. Somebody help me, I'm so discouraged I'm ready to give it up.
I've been playing off and on for a couple years. I drive forehand/sidearm because backhand hurts my shoulder and arm in a scary way, it's probably a form issue but the process of figuring that out seems too likely to cause injury. That's fine, I'm cool with sidearm only driving, problem is, I struggle to get 200 feet. Flat football field for measurement, no wind, 215 is my longest, but I consider anything that makes it to 200 a good throw.
I've watched every video and read every article on the subject. I think I understand what I am supposed to be doing and I feel like I am but obviously the results aren't there. I can tell you it isn't an issue of me throwing those high nose up shots that stall and fade, I keep it pretty flat, maybe 10 feet off the ground. Also not just an issue of rolling it over into a turn and burn or of a hyzer spike, no trouble keeping it flat and straight unless I choose an anny or hyzer line. It seems to me that I'm just not generating enough spin/snap and I've tried everything I can think of to fix that.
I'm throwing a 153gm Diamond (8/6/-3/1), a 171gm Zombee (6/5/-1/1) and a 150gm Teebird (7/5/0/2).
My goal is to get to 300 feet but I'll probably settle for 250. If anyone thinks they can get me to a consistent 250 feet I would like to pay you for your time. 10 bucks just for showing up and trying and another 20 if you can get me to 250.
If anyone is interested I can meet wherever Friday anytime between 11am and 430 (have to split at 530), or anytime at all Sunday. Just post back here or send me a PM.
Thanks guys,
David
