Looks natural and comfortable, accuracy is pretty good, I’d say it’s a effective technique

Hips! Cheesy I always say it but it's where the power comes from. Also, if you bring your throwing arm further back and expand the chest muscles, you'll get more power and a longer power stroke. This is all related to increased power but when has more power ever been a bad thing?

are you suggesting that I should be using a completely different release motion? 

No use which ever style you like best.  In most of your throws you are sending arm down over your shoulder in others it is coming from the side of your shoulder(The throw
at second 26  use that one  Wink ).

Ah, yes. That is a recent change actually, and the muscle memory isn’t all there yet. I started putting more shoulder rotation into the end of the throw, which seems to help, but it still takes a conscious effort to make the full motion, so it’s a bit inconsistent. When I added more shoulder rotation, the form also started to look a lot more like a baseball pitch.

@Kick and @Thomas... thanks!  I will try your suggestions.

@Jaegoor... perhaps something is lost in translation, but I honestly can’t tell if you’re trying to help or if you are trolling me. Do you have any recommendations for improvement? Or only criticism?

I could be wrong but I think Jaegoor was talking to me about my unclear feedback Tongue

I think Kick and I are both speaking of the same thing. I would say "open up" to create a bigger motion.
You got a great throw BTW

Es ist nach meiner Meinung kein guter Stil. Es wird ja nun sehr gelobt. Deshalb ist meine Meinung wohl eher irrelevant.
OK. Von mir aus figur 8. Das alleine ist schon kein guter Stil. Sie machen ein Schritt hinein in denn Schuß. Ihr Arm schlägt zuerst. Es gibt ihnen vielleicht ein Gefühl von Kraft. Aber die meiste Kraft werden sie in den Gelenken und Muskeln spüren. Ihr Oberkörper krümmt sich beim Schuß. Das ist schwer zu erklären. Eine Drehung im Oberkörper ist ok. Aber sie beugen falsch. Viel Kraft geht daher direkt auf Hals und brustwirbel. Das ist nicht gesund. Vielleicht spüren sie ein kribbeln in den Fingern. Ihre Hüfte arbeitet quasi nicht.
Ihr Start Haltung ist seitlich. Das machen viele slinger. Auch in Spanien. Aber warum?
Ich möchte sie ganz bestimmt nicht Trollen. Und sie müssen meine Meinung auch nicht mögen. Verzeihen sie mir bitte meine Offenheit. Es ist nicht beleidigung gedacht.

Danke Jaegoor. I am not offended by honesty if it is helpful. That is the feedback I was looking for. I have really only been slinging for a few short years and my “style” continues to evolve. I do not pretend to be an expert.  I only asked for criticism so I can learn and improve. If all you say is my motion is  bad, then there is nothing to learn. Thank you for explaining your previous comments.

Letztlich kann jeder so slingen wie er möchte. Ich sehe nur viel Potenzial, aber es wird nicht genutzt. Oder es wird nicht verstanden.
Ich werde oft kritisiert für mein Tun  Damit kann ich leben. Vielleicht wirke ich auf andere auch wie ein komischer Vogel. 😁 Auch mein Stil ist nicht statisch. Ich variieren sogar ziemlich oft. Doch es wird kaum bemerkt.
Es gibt jedoch einen roten Faden. Ein Fundament.
