“I’m throwing 450’ already. What can I do to improve my form to get to 500’?”

I'm shanking 40' to the right. What do I need to do in order to shank 50' to the right?

What I noticed; your reachback starts out away from you but then coils behind you just as you start to pull through causing you to pull your arm all the way around your body (rounding). I "reach away" as opposed to "reach back/behind" by visualizing a triangle between my right shoulder, the disc, and my left shoulder. Dunno if that makes sense but watch Eric Oakley videos, I picture his reach back & pull through pocket when I find I'm rounding and need to correct.
