Driving with Feldberg and Shusterick

These videos were posted late last year shortly after I came encountered them. Then, the other day, while playing a round with Félix he mentioned his field work where he is developing a powerful, big gun, hyzer and the advice he garnered from Shusterick's video on Driving. Shusterick's video promotes driving from a stand still position until one gets the mechanics of the throw down. It's good advice and, as Ken Climo says, this game's got a lot of little intricacies related to how one throws and the body movement.

Shusterick covers several points well in his video; working on the lower body, weight shift, practicing in a field, the reach back, keeping the disc close to the body with a little lean over the disc or the pull through, practice driving from a stand still position, and the involvement of the hip. Feldberg's video primarily focuses on involving the hip as crucial in facilitating distance.

Something Will doesn't speak about but is clearly evident in the video is how his fore foot goes from toes to heel to toes. He doesn't mention this as it appears to happen naturally just by good form. I've seen and heard this point brought up in a previous video. It may Feldberg's.

I thought putting these two videos on the same post would be good comparison from two different top players. Both explain their positions well. Hope these help you out like they're helping me out in my pursuit of getting better driving-wise.
