I went to his Clinic last week and he said his power comes from "good sequencing and timing". Can confirm that 'toe first' in the brace helps him keep his foot parallel and hips open. His foot is the handle of the Whip and everything moves up sequentially from there. He said his arm is very passive and the only arm strength he uses is just to keep the humorous 90° to the chest until the power pocket. The power comes from the ground up and he says his farthest throws are the ones that feel most effortless because his timing is near perfect. He recommended we do run ups into a brace without throwing just to get the feeling of stopping your momentum. This drill helps you sense the handle of the whip. Can confirm. He was throwing over 500 ft and it did not look like he was even trying.
Subbed! Great content! I feel like there’s still a little more power I can get out of my throw, going to try to the toe thing, never heard that one specifically! Or maybe I did but I wasn’t ready to hear it 😅
I've had that problem, it can kill your knee. It means you're not really following through, it should be a natural feel. Try from a standstill to reach back and pivot through your foot, preferably your heel.

Amazing explanation
Awesome video. It's always great to see a Thomas Gilbert form breakdown - it's textbook.
His form is fun to watch. Appreciate it, Rick!
Great vid. Definitely have to get into more wind reads.
Thanks Mark!
