Great footage. Thanks for sharing these shots. Great stuff. I disagree with your analysis. There is no "pull". If he pulled the disc, his elbow of the throwing arm would be in front of his body after his front foot braces. No professional today pulls a disc on a distance shot. All let the arm lag behind, as the back hip spins the body, and the elbow unhinges as a whip without a pull from the arm. Another sign of a "pull", is you will see the throwing shoulder rise higher than the other during the throwing action. I learned to throw in the 70s, and we called throwing hard and for distance a "pull" and we did indeed pull it through, but today the players "whip" the disc, and we all need to change our vocabulary to match reality. Thanks again for giving your time to make these videos available, one shot at a time! Love it.
Hey Michael, special thank you for subscribing to our channel, and your graciousness in your comment. We admit that we were wrong with how we described the pull at 2:08, and thank you for raising the subject. While there seems to be a bit of debate about whether the throwing arm pulls during a backhand shot, the consensus among coaches out there (many of them putting out great RUclips videos that folks here are likely watching) is that any pulling with the throwing arm takes place AFTER the hips have fired through and the disc has reached the “power pocket” position. Some coaches believe that ANY upper body pulling will diminish the transfer of force from the lower body into the disc. Regardless, the way we described it in this video is contrary to that, and we apologize for this misinformation. The reality of the landscape as we know it is that the terms “pull” and “pulling through” are still widely used to describe the movement of the disc from “reach back” to release. While these terms are possibly misleading and imply that there is more upper body involvement than there actually is, they still seem to be the industry standard for what this movement is. We are going to pin your comment in hopes that everyone who watches this video reads it. It's more important to us to be accurate than right.

Great stuff
Absolutely. Clint is a best. We've met with him multiple times to analyze his form. Great video!
That’s awesome, thanks Seekr 👊
Loving the highlighted/paused release angles on release that are so hard to see in live time. Trajectory line was also very cool on this one.
Jake, you are the man. Thanks for the love!
So sick this is the homie love to see him get some love
It’s good form. There’s much better though
