Get your form score, what you're doing well, and what's holding you back WHAT IT MEASURES - Reach back: how far and how level your arm extends - X-step and plant timing: whether your feet set up the throw or rush it - Hip and shoulder rotation: where you're leaking power - Release and follow-through: how cleanly the energy transfers to the disc Each observation comes with why it matters, the fix, and a drill. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS Every analysis is saved, so you can compare throws over time and see your form actually change. Compare your mechanics side by side with pro form.
