It's time for the empirical proof, the case studies! We begin with Avi, a 44 yearold father of eight from Seattle.


Avi's case study is critical to this project, as his experience matches so many others trying to learn and progress. Despite more than two decades of work and countless practice drives, Avi has been capped around 5052 MPH with his backhand. For all the time he's invested, he's never learned a proper brace, or produced consistent biomechanical leverage. Consequently, Avi is arming the disc to throw it, spinning in a big slow circle and dragging the disc around his body.


This clip chronicles a roughly hour long lesson I gave him on the first day of our film shoot, along with the aftermath.


The results speak for themselves. In no time at all, Avi was able to feel a true hard brace for the first time, simply by focusing on activating the internal twist of his trailing leg. Once he had that down, he had no trouble feeling leverage in his throwing arm and in the disc.


Avi went back home for a week of practice after our lesson, and returned to Juel Park to check his progress. His improvement after just a few days was shocking. Gone was his spinny, inefficient form, and in its place was leveraged efficiency. The drives he produced with putters and mids dazzled him and the camera crew. His testimonial was giddy with delight. I've never seen him so happy!
