Recently started playing disc golf and am looking for constructive critisism. I seem to be releasing the disc with the nose up but I have no idea how to fix it.
Check out the Ken Climo and Dave Feldberg Instructional Video that came out not long ago. There is some great detailed advice on grip, wrist position and over all form for driving. I practiced what they taught on the video and make a few tweeks to my grip and added 75' and an enormous amount of control on my drive.
I think you can find some of it here on Youtube but I suggest buying the complete copy and using it as reference material often.
Remeber to reach back and away from your body when throwing. You are not allowing room to release smoothly.
Practice this by standing against a wall, and feeling the line of the pull which is a straight line. The line you are pulling currently is more of a curve. Try turning your hips away from the target more and reaching back so your arm is fully extended, instead of your elbow making a right angle.
Watch video of Barry Schultz
Notice how he reaches High, Back, and Away from him

start your arm higher when you throw - level with your shoulder. Will be a lot easier to keep it flat upon release.
