    Please for the love of all that is good get a throwing putter and try forehand upshots. If you dont have anything in the way a smooth hyzer like a lawn dart does wonders! Love the backhand tips too though! I have struggled mightily with trying to throw a jump-putt too hard and a full throw too soft to fill that 100-225’ range. Currently working on standstills and improving my jump putt to compensate, on the rare occasions I cant throw a forehand

      @@michaelstrauss2312 Thanks. In August, I twisted my right ankle and was using a cane for a while....then end of September I was in a two day tournament (two rounds each day) and my ankle felt good, but I think I unconsciously kept from putting weight on it as it was my plant/pivot foot. My backhands were off, and I had a throw that really needed to go straight...I think I pulled the disc straight and leaned over backwards which caused something to pull/tear in my arm. Played through it. Then end of October, I played a one day-two round tournament. Mainly threw forehand which didn't bother me. But I had an upshot, figured throw easy backhand, no issue. Oh, the pain. So, I'm seeing a person who specializes in soft tissue sports injuries. After three weeks, I'm not feeling pain, but I haven't thrown yet either. I'm going to give it another week before I try. My doc said I could try throwing now, but I want to give it at least another week. Hopefully, I also forget my bad habits and can focus on throwing correctly. I also play on starting up my lessons again. Meanwhile, I'm using my floorboards and the train tracks idea to keep up on my footwork.
